THURSDAY. MAY 17. 1962
Central Point-Open house
at the Grange Coop Supply
association's elevator here will
be held Friday and Saturday.
School groups have been in
vited to tour the storage bins
and manufacturing facilities
ofm the Cogp between 12:30
and 4 p.m. Friday, Coop offi
cials said. The facilities will
be open between 7 and 9 p.m.
Friday for adults, and be
tween 10 a.m. and 5-p.m. Sat
urday. The feed manufacturing
plant started full operation
recently, following a complete
redesigning after a fire de
stroyed the facility Oct. 12,
1961.
Manufactured Elsewhere
During the six months nec
essary to clean up, redesign
and rebuild, the Coop had
its feed manufactured and
shipped in from Portland, Eu
gene and Klamath Falls, in
addition to that produced by
local feed companies in the
Grants Pass and Medford
areas.
Because the storage and
manufacturing facilities were
almost completely destroyed
by the fire, Coop officials de
cided to redesign the facility.
The new equipment repre
sents the latest advances in
feed milling machinery and
features a push-button opera
lion in mixing ingredients for
various feeds, most of which
is distributed and sold in
southern Oregon.
Additional Investment
Coop officials said an addi
tional investment of about
550,000 was made in rebuild
ing the facility. The property
was fully covered by insur
ance, they noted, and claims
have been approved in ex
cess of $230,000.
The appearance of the
building has not changed from
the original structure. The
tower holding ingredients con
sists of a 40-foot square of
laminated wood housing 34
bins, each 50 feet deep. Above
the bins are two levels hous
ing the distributing system.
More than 222,000 board
feet of 2 by 8 and 2 by 6 lum
ber were used in the struc
ture. Expect Shrinkage
One feature of the building
Is that it is constructed to
expect a shrinkage of Hi feet
in height. Movement of the
building is caused by varying
amounts of grain and weather
conditions.
To compensate for the
movement, the outer layer of
aluminum is nailed at the bot

Salem -tUPD- The Oregon In
dustrial Accident Commission
has announced a sweeping re
organization, including crea
tion of the post of executive
manager which could lead to
eventual abolition of the com
mission itself as a policy
making body.
The commission adminis
ters the state's workmen's
compensation program.
Sidney Lewis, commission
chairman, said the reorganiza
tion, effective immediately,
will
Centralize all administra
tive responsibility in a single
executive. This manager, not
yet named, will get $13,800 a
year.
Centralize functions
through a field services divi
sion to be headed by a di
rector under the executive
manager.
Decentralize home office
field functions by replacing
them with regional managers
"who can give employers,
claimants, doctors, hospitals,
and others closer attention
from offices located in strate
gic areas."
These regional offices, to be
set up within six months,
will be in Portland, Salem,
Eugene, Pendleton, Medford
and Bend.
Paul Jaeger, Salem, was
named director of the field
services division.
There will be a new divi
sion on planning and research
headed by George Hessevick,
Salem, and a new division of
personnel, training and in
formation headed by James
H. Mills Jr., Salem.
The plan has been in the
works for I6V2 months and
was recommended by a pri
vate consulting firm, Wood
ward and Fondiller, Inc.,
New York.
The other two commission
ers are William A. Callahan,
Portland, and Emily P. Lo
gan, Corvallis.
Lewis said that while func
tions of the commissioners
won't change for the time
being, they will concentrate
on public relations and act in
appeals from injured work
men and from employers.
