i FRIDAY. OCTOBER S. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TR1BUWE, MtUFORD. OREGON Trouble-Plagued Freeway Project ear Completion Dunsmuir - Placing of con Crete pavement on a six-mile long Sacramento River can yon section of Interstate High way 5 seven miles south of Dunsmuir has been started, according to the California Division of Highways. As the pavement is being laid, a battle with nature that started in 1960 draws near a successful climax. "Work on this project com menced in the summer of I960,'" explained H. S. Miles, district engineer, "and during the heavy grading operations many slides developed," "At one particular location at the northerly end of the project, the roadway cut slope developed a serious crack about 800 feet out from the roadway centerline and about 500 feet above grade. "This potential slide threat ened the existing heavily j travelled Highway 99, the ad-J Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent jacent Southern Pacific main line tracks, and could have caused a serious damming of the Sacramento river," Miles explained. The problem was solved by shifting the alignment of the) new highway partially away from the slide, moving the railroad tracks and construct ing a new channel for the Sacramento river. Material Moved The paving operation will continue for several weeks, Miles said, and after the re quired curing period, traffic will be routed over the new four-lane pavement, while the remaining work, mostly mi nor, is completed. The freeway was scheduled for completion late this year, but a spring labor strike that caused a loss of eight weeks of work will force work to continue into the spring early summer of 1963, Miles said.

Fir . 772-2472 The sudden passing of Orville Hamilton Sunday was a severe shock to friends and neighbors here and throughout the valley. Orville, as he was known by his many friends, came to the Rogue valley with his par ents when a young lad, went to grade school at Agate, finished high school at Central Point, and started doing farm work when in his teens. Those who he worked for knew him to be a hard worker, always insisting on keeping up his end of the work. He worked sometimes as a laborer at the Modoc orchard proving to be so efficient and trustworthy that he was made superintendent of the company's hold ings, which position he held at the time of his death. Although he lead a very busy life, he always had time to give advice and to help out any worthwhile project in the community. It has been our privilege to know him for many years and we would say he was a quiet, pleasant person who had opinions of his own, but never questioned the right of others to their opinions. He had high morals and was industrious, courteous, and tolerent. His passing leaves a vacancy that will be hard to fill. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the family. Which Side You On? We met a man a few days ago who said he has read in Tablets that our family was on both sides during the Civil War, father in the Union army and mother's people with the confederacy. He said since his parents too were on different sides, he wanted to meet me. During our conversation he said Negroes are just like other people, some good, and others bad. Among other things he told me was that his father was with Gen. Sherman when he burned Atlanta, Ga. Then we told him while they were burning Atlanta they burned our grandmother's house on Peach Tree st. Sounds as if we were fighting the Civil war over again, but we were only reminiscing. Ex-General Walker, the would be rabble rouser tried to bring back the rebellious times, but they now have him locked up, which is where he belongs in our opinion. Val Ware Dies Word has been received here telling of the death of Val Ware, recently, at Long Beach, Calif. Mr. Ware at one time was a resident here. He and his wife had ( a home on what is now Pumice lane. Mrs. J. S. Richardson is expected to return home Thursday, from Portland, where she went for a physical check up. Several from here attended the funeral of Mrs. Flora Thomas at Medford, Thursday. Mrs. Thomas was well known here, having lived here with her husband for several years in a house on the Ed Taylor farm. The new carrier on Mail route No. 2 is Howard Schwab, of Central Point. He was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Lewis Kilbourn. Thought for the day Self preservation, is the first law of nature. District 6 Changes From Six to Nine Week Period Central Point - This year school district 6 has gone from a six weeks reporting period to a nine weeks period. Schools included in this change are those at Gold Hill, Sams Valley, and Central Point. Before this change was made, extensive research was conducted by supervisory per sonnel of District 8 and by teachers of the system. Sev eral factors caused the de cision to Join the many other schools in the area which are on the nine weeks reporting period. Most Important of these was that more realistic units could be prepared for the longer period. Also, more time could be devoted to actual teaching because of fewer interrup tions at the end of reporting periods. To insure that parents will still be fully informed of the progress of their children, Crater High has initiated a Hank program of mandatory warn ing slips. This consists of sending de tailed warnings of possible failure at the end of the fifth week of e' ch nine weeks re porting period. A nine weeks period also allows the student the proper time to do something about a warning slip which he may receive after the fifth week. In the six weeks period, there was Insufficient time left after the warning slip was sent. Teachers may also send warnings to parents at any other times they desire. Charles Meyer, district B superintendent, and his prin cipals made this change of re porting periods as a part of their current upgrading of cur riculum in the district.
