Area Girl Scout Council To
Move Headquarters Sept. 1
The Rogue Valley Girl
Scout Council, Inc. will have
new headquarters some time
after Sept. 1, having purchas
ed the First Christian church
property, at Ninth st. and Oak
dale ave. as a permanent home
for Scouting activities, includ
ing training.
The Girl Scout organization
was organized In Mcdford In
1027. The Scouts have used
the city owned property locat
ed In Hawthorne park, 500
East Main st. They have re
paired and remodeled 1 h e
building several times during
these years, the last in 1956
when two new staff rooms
were added.
The building of the new
freeway and other changes
made in that area caused them
to look for other quarters.
Mrs. B. E. Culy announced
that a committee was formed
some time ago to look for a
new location. This appointed
committee included Mrs. Scott
V. Davis, Dwight Houghton
member of finance committee
and Mrs. Michcle T. Rossi. It
was felt that the First Chris
tian church property could
lend itself to use by the tit?l
Girl Scout program.
Repairs and slight changes
will be made at the new site.
The committee was enlarged
to include Adam Richtcr, serv
ing as finance chairman for
Girl Scouts; Thomas McFad
den, 225 Black Oak dr., local
camp property use chairman,
and Fred Gatter and Richard
Gray, both members of fi
nance committee.
This committee working
with the president, Mrs. Culy,
completed the transaction. It
is now planning and making
the necessary needed repairs.
Changes will include a new
roof, exterior painting and in
terior decorating.
Extended parking area Is
now planned on the south.
This will be delayed to give
the First Christian church use
of the building on the proper
ty until they move to their
new quarters.
The sanctuary will be used
for meetings and an expanded
program is planned for all
registered Girl Scouts. The
new offices for the organiza
tion will be located in t h e
main building with entrances
on Ninth st. and on the second
floor on the northeast.
The lower floor, with more
than half of the space being
ground level will provide rec
reational facilities, with kitch
en adjoining. Many rooms in
this lower level will be used
for troop meetings and other
activities.
The purchase and improve
ment of this property was
made possible by the sale of
bonds bequeathed to this area
of Girl Scouts from the estate
of the late John R. Tomlin.
The First Christian church
will continue to hold religious
services, Sunday school and
offices in the building until
their new building is complet
ed on Crater Lake ave.
The Scouting program is ac
tive during the week days
only except for special occa
sions. The organization is a
participating agency in the
United Crusade and other
area fund drives for opera
tional funds.
President Kennedy 'Starts'
Giant Dam Project During Visit
By United Preii International
President Kennedy paid a
"non-political" visit to Cali
fornia last week to help fel
low Democrat Gov. Edmund
G. Brown break, ground for
the $500 million San Luis
dam.
Kennedy, availing himself
of the time-honored presiden
tial custom of visiting west
ern resource development
projects during a congression
al year, also became the first
president to spend a night in
Scenic Yosemite National
park. He wound up his tour
in Los Angeles.
But the main attraction of
Kennedy's visit was his ap
pearance at the dam site, lo
cated near Los Banos on the
western edge of the San
Joaquin valley. There he and
Brown both spoke before
thousands and simultaneously
pressed buttons detonating
dynamite-grenade blasts. This
signaled start of construction
on the dam, which is the larg
est joint state-federal project
ever conceived.
Brown, who is seeking re
election against Republican
Richard Nixon, said he was
pleased to have in attendance
"a president who regards the
West as an equal partner in
the nation's destiny". He hail
ed the beginning of the San
Luis project as the start of
a new era for California farms
and industry.
San Luis dam was first con
ceived as a federal reclama
tion project. But it will be
constructed and used jointly
by both the federal and state
governments.
High Dam
Whe nthe 320 foot high
dam in the arid barren foot
hills is completed, probably
in 1968, it will store 2.1 mil
lion acre feet of water.
Half the water will be used
by the federal government to
service 500,000 acres on the
west side of the valley. The
state will use the other half,
channeling it to giant pump
lifts in the Tehachapi moun-

The San Luis project will

only a small part of the total
California water plan cost
which is estimated at $12 bil
lion.
Kennedy was accompanied
to California by Interior Sec
retary Stewart L. Udall. While
in the state the president took
the opportunity to shake
hands with local and state dig
nitaries at various stops.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Amendment: The State Su
preme court refused to keep
the Francis Anti-Communist
amendment off the November
ballot - but noted it had not
ruled on the constitutionality
of the measure.
Attorney General Stanley
Mosk ordered that printing of
the ballot argument booklet
proceed. Former Attorney
General Robert W. Kenny and
others had asked the court
to keep the measure from the
ballot on grounds that its text
had been changed after it was
titled and summarized by
Mosk. Proponents of the meas
ure argued this was only a
"misunderstanding", The
court's decision was 6-1.
Stagg: Amos Alonzo Stagg,
everybody's "Grand Old Man
of Sports", was honored on
his 100th birthday anniver
sary. More than a dozen cities
across the nation held ban
quets honoring the former
University of Chicago foot
ball coach who has lived in
Stockton for the past 30 years.
Stagg's comment: "I didn't
think I'd make it. But I did.
I'm 100 years old today. Some
way or other, it's hard to be
lieve." His advice for living
to 100? "Go into training, ex
ercise. No smoking or drink
ing. No eating to excess."
Fire: Southern California's
worst fire of the summer
forced 300 persons to leave
their homes. However, all but
four houses were saved. An
admitted arsonist, Jerry Tay
lor, later was arrested and
charged with setting the fire
near Claremont, which ap
proached the stage of major
disaster.
Sinatra: A night club pho
tographer, who earlier had
denied reports of a fight be
tween him and Frank Si
natra, filed suit for $275,390
damages against the singer.
The photographer, Jimmy
Jaye, said he was taking pic
tures early Sunday in a San
Francisco nightclub when Si
natra asked why he had not
asked for permission to take
the photos. Jaye, in his suit,
said the singer grabbed him
and tried to choke him.

Washington - (UPI) - Federal
grand jury investigation of an
alleged fist fight involving
Teamster President James R.
Hoffa received a setback
Thursday when a judge ruled
that eight union officers and
employees had a right to re
fuse to testify. The eight wit
nesses had invoked the Fifth
Amendment before the jury,
which is investigating charges
that Hoffa beat up a former
employee, Samuel Baron,
