Proposal By JIM FRAKE Mail Tribune Staff Writer A proposal to establish a pony track at the Jackson county fairgrounds was re viewed recently by the juve nile advisory council at the request of the county court. The idea to have such a track here originally was presented several months ago, but only recently has any thing substantial developed. Promoting the track Is the ! Southern Oregon -Pony club! of Medford. The club some time ago made preliminary arrange ments for using land at the fairgrounds owned jointly by the city of Medford and the county. The particular area is behind the county juvenile detention home and. because of this, has caused some con cern over whether it was the best place for all concerned. Referred to Court Earlier this summer the county court learned of the proposed location and re ferred the matter to Circuit Judge James M. Main, who is also a juvenile court judge, and the juvenile advisory council which supervises the detention home.
