Planning Group
Approves Variance
To Sign Provisions
ine Meaiord planning com
mission last night approved
requests from Standard Oil
company for variances to sign
provisions in limited commer
cial zones in Medford.
The variances were sought
to enable the company to erect
a 36-foot sign at a station lo
cated on the north side of
Crater Lake highway and a
50-foot sign at a proposed sta
tion to be situated on the east
side of Biddle rd. opposite the
interchange for Interstate 5
freeway.
Hal Edwards, representing
Standard Oil company, told
the commission his firm wants
the sign on Crater Lake high
way to be "eye-level" to traf
fic approaching Medford from
the cast, and that it should be
visible to motorists for nboul
one-quarter mile before they
reach the station.
"This is what the public
wants," Edwards assured the
commission, "quick identifica
tion of a sign, so they wi'l
have time to slow their cars
to make the turnoff."
The vote on the Crater Lak e
highway sign variance was
6 to 1, with Commissioner
Larry Horton voting in oppo
sition to the request.
Like the true, human gypsy
whose origin was probably
India, but whose wanderings
traversed all of Europe, and
who later pursued their no
madic life over America a
. few years ago, the moth
named for them, the Gypsy
moth, arrived from Europe a
few decades ago, and proved
to be an undesirable citizen.
The true Gypsy has just
about disappeared from the
rural scene, or has been
absorbed by a superior culture
but, in one section at least of
the U. S., the moth named
after them is still in evidence.
The word Gypsy, for a moth
In this Instance was well
taken, and until a strict
quarantine was enforced
against the insects move
ments, it threatened to pop
ulate every area with its ob
noxious presence. The Gypsy
moth adopted a clever method
of expansion, traveling great
distances with little or no
effort on its part.
The larva of the gypsy
moth would suspend itseif
from tree limb, or the over
head beams of a bridge and
drop down on a passing truck,
wagon, or train that passed
underneath. In this way they
could be carried to distant
points to develop and later
lay eggs, populating areas
never before known to be
occupied by Gypsy moths.
The female Gypsy moth,
willing to lay her eggs on
tree trunks, boxcars, bridaos,
or buildings, might be lucky
enough to place a cluster on
a carrier of one sort or anoth
er that would later carry them
to a distant town, or even
state. This usually occurred
the following spring as the
eggs hold over during the
win!cr.
The following spring the
young larva would emerge:
immediately they would begin
eating the leaves of the near
est trees and shrubs
Because of this nomadic
tendency, quarantine lines
With reference to the Bid-
del rd. station, Edwards ar
gued that the sign had to be
50 feet high in order for it
to be visible to freeway traf
fic over the top of the Inter
national Harvester comoany
building, which is adjacent to
the station site.
"This will be a S65.000 sta
tion," Edwards said, "and will
employ six men during the
winter and between 12 and
14 during the summer
months."
Edwards said his firm ex
pects more than 300.000 tran
sient vehicles to pass through
Medford next year on the
freeway.
"This city is a natural mid
point between San Francisco
and Portland or Seattle," he
said, "but the signs have to
be visible to them in order
to gel them to stop in Med
ford. If they miss the offramp,
though, they're gone."
Commissioner Walter Hig
gins expressed concern that
the "entrance to our city is
going to be a hodge-podge of
signs." but the group voted
4 to 3 to approve the variance
request.
The matters will now go
before the city council for
final action.

The peculiar flight of the

Enrollments, Financing Are
By EARL H. ADAMS
Mail Tribune City Editor
(Eighth In A Serin)
The basic problem facing
education today is really a
complex one:
How to provide a quality
education to an ever in
creasing number of students
on all grade levels in ex
panded plant facilities with
out supporting taxes being
increased to a point of ex
cessive burdensomeness.
This problem is perhaps
more in focus today than at
any other time in history.
Bar Association
Presents Court
An Award Plaque
Medford Attorney William
Kellington, representing the
American Bar association, this
morning presented an honor
able mention award from the
association to Medford's mu
nicipal court.
Medford Mayor John W.
Snider accepted the plaque on
behalf of the city and the
municipal court.
Kellington said the award
was a result of the annual
traffic safety inventory, which
this year won the city two
other awards. They were pre
sented to the city about a
month ago by Gov. Mark O.
Hatfield.
Medford's inventory, along
with ones from 467 other
cities, was evaluated by the
American Bar association
traffic court program. M e d
ford scored within the top 2
per cent of participating
cities, Kellington said.
Work To Improve
"This award was won be
cause Medford s municipal
court has continually worked
to improve itself," Kelling
ton said, "not because it was
excellent to begin with."
He pointed out that traffic
cases are now handled sepa
rately from other cases, that
there is a "complete lack of
tickit-fixing," and that law
yers have been appointed to
the municipal court bench.
Observers at the ceremony
included District Court Judge
Loren L. Sawyer, Circuit
Court Judges James M. Main
and Edward C. Kelly, Police
Chief Charles P. Champlin
and Captain Clyde Fichtner.
Former Municipal Court
Judge Ronald Ricketls and
present Municipal Court
Judge Joseph Fliegel Jr., also
were present at the ceremony
in citv hall.
Sfeelhead Measure
Taken Off Ballot
Salem-iUPIl-The Oregon Su
preme court today tossed the
steclhead initiative measure
off the Oregon Novembor bal
lot. It would have curtailed
commercial fishing on the
Columbia river and made
steclhead a game fish.
It was ballot measure No.
8. This leaves a total of nine
measures on next month's
ballot.
The decision was 6-1, with
Justice Kenneth O'Connoll
dissenting.
The majority opinion, writ
ten by Justice Alfred T.
Goodwin, held that 34,000
signatures collected under a
faulty ballot title could not
be counted. That left only
20.000 valid signatures on
the initiative petition - not
enough to get it on the ballot.

The post-war baby crop is
entering high school, and
each year more high school
graduates continue to a col
lege or university.
Arthur S. Flemming,
president of the University
of Oregon, said the immedi

cess of counting the number
of students in the public
schools and estimating the
number who will go on to

On the Air
By ELEANOR WIESE
The swindles, fraud and
thievery that surround the
interstate highway program
will be probed by David
Brinkley in a full-hour news
special Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
on KMED-TV.
Brinkley says the nation's
highway projects are costing
some S41 billion, with a large
amount finding its way into
the pockets of highway of
iciaLs, contractors, inspec
tors and others.
The program is titled "The
Great Highway Robbery" and
will serve as the new season's
premier edition of "David
Brinkley's Journal."
"Wherever probers have
looked, they've found scan
dals, irregularities, fraud and
thieving," Brinkley says.
"Thirty-one states have been
investigated either by state
legislative committees, the
FBI. the government account
office or the Congressional
investigating committee head
ed by Rep. John A. Blatnick
(D.. Minn.)."
The show was filmed in
New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Florida. The film crews found
roads built to "nowhere,"
new highways falling apart
because of cheating on speci
fications, dishonest appraisals
of right-of-way properties,
payola, falsified records,
shakedowns and numerous
shenanigans.
The crews also repeatedly
ran into opposition and ob
stacles. In Florida, one con
tractor threatened to "run
Brinkley off the air" unless
the program was dropped.
In Oklahoma, a highway , of
ficial who had testified to
wrongdoing before the Blat
nik committee and was still
on the job, ordered highway
employees not to talk.
Brinkley says no one can
estimate precisely how many
billions of tax dollars are in
volved in highway scandals
across the country. "But we
show that kited and phantom
appraisals in right-of-way
alone will raise the cost of
our highway program by at
least two billion dollars. And

Flemming said the uni

said.
Flemming noted that

problems of teacher short
ages, classroom shortages,
and of how to provide the
curricula demanded in a
more complex society, in
creased enrollments create
a major problem in financ
ing. Public school districts
each year face increased
budgets, resulting usually
in increased levies. If more
classrooms arc needed, an
additional levy is usually
sought through bond issues,
boosting an already high
property tax.
Financing Problem
A financing problem also
exists on the ptn institu
tion of higher education
level. Every two years, the
legislature is asked to in
crease funds for higher ed
ucation, and every two years
the problem of where the
funds will come from be
comes more acute. Bonds
have been issued to finance
construction of living quart
ers for college students, but
