MEDFORD. OREGON Complelion of the new 100 bed Hawthorne Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center is expected in two weeks, Bill Brooks, contractor and presi dent of the development firm, the Western Convalescent Foundation, has announced. The $600,000 hospital at 62S Stevens ave. will be ready for patient occupancy during the first week of June, with a series of open house tours planned for professional groups as well as the public before its official opening. Construction of the con valescent hospital was started last November after a survey of the Rogue valley indicated a need for convalescent and rehabilitation facilities, Brooks said. The one-story building of redwood siding and brick is built in the form of an X with the lobby and administrative offices in the center, and a screened garden and lawn area at the rear of the build ing. Technical Facilities Its technical facilities in clude an extensive physical therapy department, a medical laboratory, and an x-ray room. Other features are piped-in oxygen, air conditioning and electronic air filtering, dining room, library and social areas. The new hospital is equipped to meet the requirements of most cases other than surgical and obstetrical, according to the Western Convalescent Foundation. Due to its special ization, it will operate with considerably lower rates than an average general hospital, but will maintain high nursing standards. Patients will be ad mitted and treated under the direction of local physicians. Portland School Board OKs Budget Portland -IIIP0- The Port land School Board has ap proved a 19(12-63 budget of more than $37 million, includ ing about $90,000 to start plans for a new southwest area high school. The budget must go before the Multnomah County Tax Supervising and Conservation Commission before it is final ly adopted. Also discussed were com munity prospects for Portland and vicinity. Stale Superin tendent of Public Instruction Leon Minear said he planned to call a meeting of Multno mah, Claskamas and Washing ton county officials lo discuss possibility of a tri-county com munity college. Mysterious Shootings Unnerve Community Walla Walla-IUPIl-Life has been pretty uncertain the past few months for a resident of the Dixie-Dry Creek area of Hie Blue Mountains cast of here. His neighbors, sharing his appre hension have asked for additional law enforcement protection. John Tracy, 59, has lived in fear since last October when he began dodging bullets from the gun of an unknown as sailant and receiving threatening telephone calls. Tracy, who lives witli his brother Martin on a farm near here, has twice been wounded in the leg and on one occasion went into hiding for a hrief period. Other residents of the Dixie-Dry Creek area complain that their region was rapidly becoming one of "(rayed" nerves." They claimed only one deputy sheriff had been working on the case. Howard Reser. chairman of Ihe county commissioners, said, "if the sheriff needs an emergency appropriation, we'll go along with it." Meanwhile, Ihe shooting has continued and apprehension mounts in the little community. The Medford water com mission has authorized Med ford Water Superintendent Robert L. Lee to proceed with the design and acquisition of right of way for installation of a 24-inch water main from Barneburg Hill to Stewart ave. via uarueia si. Funds for the installation have been allocated in the de partment's 1962 - 63 fiscal budget, Lee said, and tenta tive plans are to call for bids and let the contract by late summer this year. This would allow for com pletion of the project by the summer of 1963 so it would be available to provide im proved water pressures for heavy summer usage, Lee not ed. Result of Studies The decision to go ahead with the project comes as a result of two studies of Med ford's water distribution sys tem. The first was completed in 1947, and on the basis of it an extensive feeder main system was constructed. The second report was com piled this year by Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merry field, consulting engineers, and was recently presented to the water commission. The latter study indicates storage capacity in the water system is at present dificient by 5 million gallons. It also indicates that by 1966, the distribution storage capacity should be 23.6 million, or about 10 million gallons more than the present capacity. Three Requirements The storage needs of the Medford water system, accord ing to the report, are made up from three requirements: 1. The storage used for meeting the peak demand. 2. The reserve storage for extinguishing of a major fire. 3. Sufficient emergency storage to meet the needs of the system on a reduced de mand basis In the event of a partial failure of the sup ply system. Among the conclusions of the study is the opinion that the storage to be constructed in connection with the plan ned future water supply from Hie Rogue river will be suf ficient until tle new supply becomes Ihe principle source of water for Medford. When that will occur is not known since the need is premised on expanded population growth within the area. Effective Location Another conclusion from the study is that the most effective location for the ad ditional storage facilities would be in the vicinity of Dark Hollow rd. near its in tersection with South Stage rd. Estimated cost of the pro- r Z- W. ... it If ' i ft W I ' ..' R- II ml .,.t-V--V f Components Plant Slated at Portland Portland - HOT - Plans for an aircraft components manu facturing plant here have been disclosed by the firm which recent ly acquired con trol of Iron Fireman Com pany. The proposed 2.M1.000 square foot plant would be located at an industrial tract near I he Portland airport. Final approval is expected nexl week at a meeting of the Electronic Specially Co. board of director?. The Los Angeles firm recently acquired control of Iron Fireman. A spokes man indicated the firm had the plant in mind before the merger with Iron Fireman was completed. posed 10 million gallon ca pacity reservoir, including Ihe transmission line from the feeder main to the reservoir, is $603,300. The study indicates that the existing distribution system is not capable of supplying suf ficient water to fill the pro posed reservoir at the Dark Hollow site during the off- peak demand period. To meet this deficiency, en gineers recommended con struction of a 24-inch feeder main from Barneburg Hill to Stewart ave., and that the main be installed prior to con struction of the reservoir. Estimated cost of this project is $412,360. At future meetings, the wa ter commission will consider the plan to correct the de ficiency in the system's dis tribution storage capacity. It will formulate plans for fi nancing the project and will establish a tentative schedule for projected reservoir construction. Morse Foreign Aid Amendments Voted Washington - I) - Four amendments by Oregon Sen. Wayne Morse were among changes made in the $4.6 bil lion foreign aid bill before it was approved Tuesday by the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee. One Morse amendment was added to the extensively dis cussed section of the bill that would suspend foreign aid for countries that seize American property without taking steps toward fair compensation. The Morse amendment provides arbitration as alternative means of settling the dispute. Another Morse change says funds for the Latin American Alliance for Progress after 1963 will be allocated only for loans, instead of loans and grants. A third Morse amendment calls for maintenance of aid to India at present levels. The final change by the Oregon Democrat cut President Ken nedy's request for contingency funds from $400 million to $300 million. The final foreign aid meas ure was approved by the com mittee 14-3.
