OCTOBER 2. 1962 Singler Would Establish Group To Promote Growth of City A candidate for mavor of Medford told the Medford Chamber of Commerce Round table Monday noon thai if he is elected, he would establish a progress and development commission to promote the city's growth and stimulate the economy. The speaker, William Sing ler, one of three candidates for mayor, began his talk by complimenting the Roundtable for i.s plan to provide a fo rum for as many office-seekers as possible before the No vember election. "The voters must be in formed about the people who are running for office," Sing ler said. He called this a "banner J SO ."ROOF f 100? grain neutral spirits BO proof.

But this year, every seat or office is contested, and that's good," he said. His biography, Singler said, is simply told. He is a life long resident of Medford, is married and has four chil dren. He served a term on the city park and recreation com mission, and was elected to the city council from Ward 1 two years ago. He operates his own business, Singler Auto Supply, 221) tast Jackson st. The speaker said he has been criticized for "being too young" (he is 34), and for not having "enough experience" to be qualified for the office of mayor. "My answer to that is that some people are criticized for being too old," he said, "and others for having too much experience." Turning to the subject of problems that confront the city, Singler said that Med lord is "on the threshold of a new period of growth. But in order to develop properly, he stressed, Med ford's economy must be a bal anced one.

" . ' .... He proposed the establish ment of a progress and devel opment commission, compos ed of representatives from various aspects of the commu nity, to help direct and guide the city through the crucial years ahead. A positive attitude needs to be encouraged among Med ford's citizens, he said. To help promote that spirit, Singler suggested the increas ed use of public relations to keep the community inform ed on current problems and what steps are being taken to overcome them. "If each citizen knew and understood the situation in Medford," Singler said, "he could serve as a diplomat for the city. He could talk Med ford all the time, wherever he went, in order to attract new residents and businesses to this area." Roundtable Chairman Bill Longmore said that next week another candidate for mayor -either Jimmy Dun levy or Fred Robinson - will present a talk to the group on behalf of his candidacy for Medford's top office. Multi-Purpose Stadium Seen as Economic Asset A 5 Editor's note: The Jackson County Court recently recom mended thai the county build a ball park, seating between 2,500 and 3,000, with an ac cent on youth. The Citiiens Multi-Purpose Stadium com mittee hat urged the court to build a stadium, for use of all groups, with an eventual seating capacity, of approxi mately 23,000. The following article is the second in a se ries of four explaining the two plans. John Weisbrod. chairman of. the committee, prepared this article. two summers at Cairto White anrt nrnfpssinnsl baseball is willing to spend thousands of dollars to put a team here it a park is available. Other professional sports have expressed an interest if a siarittim large enough to handle paying crowds is built. The proper type 01 staaium manager could secure large conventions, musical presenta tions and many otner cvenia to keep the stadium busy.

Attorneys for commercial fish interests countered that the measure is illegal,' and must be stricken from the bal lot. The measure would desig nate steelhead a game fish in Oregon. Commercial fisher men say the proposal would ruin their industry. -.:. Argues for Measure Asst. Atty. Gen. John J. Tyncr Jr. argued for the in itiative measure certified to the ballot 'by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr., J who appealed a ruling by Marion County Circuit Judge George A. Jones that the in itiative petition was invalid. j Judge Jones had ruled that ! the petitions, filed by. Make . Steelhead a Game Fish, Inc., I bore only 20,000 valid signa tures - not enough to place the issue before the voters. Another 34,000 signatures were ruled void because they were obtained under a faulty ballot title. Wendell Wyatt, Astoria, and John C. Beatty Jr., Port land, attorneys for the Co lumbia River Salmon and Tuna Packers Association and others, urged the high court to affirm Judge Jones and remove the steelhead measure from the ballot. They said that to "place this measure on the ballot will be to destroy an essential safeguard of the legislative process." Tyner said statutory re quirements that an initiative petition contain the text of the measure provide "ade quate safeguards for the in itiative," coupled with the fact that the correct ballot title appears in the voters pamphlet. The high court took the arguments under advisement. The Citizens Multi-Purpose Stadium committee is . con vinced that a multi-purpose stadium in the county, big enough to accommodate iarge crowds, would have sufficient use to warrant construction and would be an economic as set to the area. Professional baseball is ready to move into Medford as soon as a playing facility is available. There are those who say that professional baseball is "dead," but it drew good crowds during the past ! lil)Uj l 1. 1 i pi leilin 'i tu' Mrs. Bullock To Lecture Saturday Mrs. Helen Dupree Bullock. director of the department of information, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Washington, D.C., will speak in Jacksonville Saturday, Oct. 6.

It would be avail ' able for Junior Legion base ball and other youth events, all through proper scheduling by the stadium manager. A variety of events in a multi-purpose stadium would attract outside dollars into the area. This money would be spent in stores, motels, hotel:-, restaurants, bars, service sia tions and other business estab lishments. The bigger the event being held in the sta dium, the more the outside money being spent in tht county, . Dr. Taylor Named President of College The office of the Governor of Guam recently announced the appointment of Dr. Floyd L. Taylor as president of the college.- Until last summer, Dr. Tay lor was a professor at South ern Oregon' college, Ashland. Mrs. Taylor was dean of girls at the Ashland High school. The College of Guam is a four-year liberal arts college with a current student body of more than 1.300 students, drawn- primarily from the U. S. Trust territory islands and from Guam. Dr. and Mrs. Taylor and their children, Patty and Jim my, now are living in Guam where their address is College of Guam, Agana, Guam. The plan for a multi-purpose stadium in Jackson coun ty has been discussed in near ly all of the larger cities of the west coast during a search for facts and fiuures necessary to complete plans: It was re ceived with enthusiasm every where and the committee was repeatedly told that a multi purpose stadium is a necessary part of the economic growth of every community. One large employer told the committee that a properly planned and properly man aged stadium will play an important ; part in bringing industry .to .an .area because it provides recreation for the employees. - Jackson county's geograph ic locution makes it an ideal stopover for big-time shows traveling between the major west coast cities. These shows are anxious to have a place to play during a stopover but must have a facility 1 a r g e enough to handle good-sized crowds. The geographic loca tion also makes it easy to se cure events to come to the area from the bigger cities. San Franciscans Interested Among those expressing an interest in a local multi-purpose stadium are the San Francisco Forty-Nincrs and the San Francisco Giants, both of whom have offered assist ance in planning and develop ment. In spile of these economic facts, which have been brought to the attention of tiie Jackson County Court, the court has stated that it has never seriously considered a multi-purpose stadium. In oth er words, the court refuses to acquaint itself with one facet of the area's possible econom ic growth. The multi-purpose stadium committee maintains that if county Amds are to be used for a public stadium, or for. a ball park or whatever you wish to call it, it must be con structed for the good of all, without an accent on any cer tain group.
