NOVEMBER 20, 1962 Shoppers Mall in Pomona Is Reviewed at Chamber Lunch A report on the shoppers mall in Pomona, Calif., com pleted last month through pri vate enterprise initiative, was made to the Medford Chamber of Commerce Roundtable at its Monday noon luncheon by two members of a Medford delegation which visited the city last week. Tile Medford group went to Pomona to attend the United Slates Mayors' Mall Work shop, a program designed to acquaint other communities in the country with the results of that city's attempts to re juvenate its central business district. Medford Chamber of Com merce Manager Don McNeil discussed the events and ex periences which led to the installation of the mall, and Mail Tribune Reporter George Bell reviewed the design of the mall, shoppers' reactions to it, and the plans the city has for the furtherance of its revitalizalion program. Defining The Problems McNeil pointed out that "so lutions occur only after people J ) Jn BEEFEATER BEEFEATER BEDAUB to the imported English Gin that doubles your martini pleasure Unequalled Since 1S20 BEEFEATER GIN U PROOF . 100 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS K08RAN0 CORPORATION . NEW YORK 1, N. 1. spend time defining the prob lems." He observed this was es pecially true in Pomona. "The mall was not created in one leap," he said, "but came about only after many other steps had been taken first." The problem - a nation-wide one - is that following World War II, the auto became "king" in this country, Mc Neil said. After taking steps such as freeway construction to pro vide greater mobility for the vastly increased numbers of motor vehicles, it gradually became apparent to commun ity leaders that central busi ness districts were being "choked" out of existence. Didn't Solve Problem Pomona was one of the first cities in the nation to move toward a municipal parking program, McNeil said, but city leaders rapidly discovered that parking lots "didn't en tirely solve the problem." "They found they had to help the people by separating them from traffic when they did their shopping," McNeil said. In 1955, as part of a Christ mas sales promotion, mer chants in Pomona conceived the idea of installing a tem porary mall in the central bus iness district for three days. They trucked in trees and shrubs, blocked off the core area to vehicle traffic and took a variety of other meas ures to effect an artificial mall situation. Pleased with the result, Po mona leaders began a long series of meetings and discus sions centered on the feasibil ity of installing a permanent mall. Cooperation Achieved "Gradually, they hammered out their differences, talked over the problems and finally sold themselves on the under taking. Cooperation was achieved out of understand ing," McNeil said. Millard Sheets, nationally famous designer and artist, a resident of Pomona, was en gaged to draw up plans for the mall. In April of this year, bulldozers moved in and be gan to tear up the paving on nine blocks along Second st., the heart of Pomona's busi ness district. The mall was completed last month. Bell drew attention to the care the mall planners had taken to insure their venture would be beautiful and esthct icallv appealing, as well as rnmmprciallv attractive for shoppers. Waist -high, native stone planters were installed along the mall at regular intervals and interesting flora were planted in them. Several wa ter fountains, featuring spe cially designed pieces of sculp ture, were built to add to the eye appeal of the mall, Bell said avT IT i t. i . , -.' it V1 T A Park-Like Atmosphere W IWMtj&V'tlirl The result has been the - J "V 1 '?

The speaker noted that the mall is just part of the city's redevelopment program, which also includes the con struction of several under passes beneath railroad tracks adjacent to the core area, and the erection of a civic and government center in a loca tion peripheral to the central business district. Whether a mall would be the answer to Medford's prob lems, which in some ways are similar to Pomona's, is a mat ter for study and deliberation by the leaders of the commun ity, Bell said. But at the very least, the mall, which has apparently brought new life into Pomona, deserves serious consideration as an attractive partial solu tion to problems of Medford's core area. Bell said. PART OF SOCIAL SCENE The holiday season is well un der way and delectable appetizers are an important part of the social scene. Many hostesses today offer small cups of coffee for those who do not take cocktails. Today's food clumn offers many suggestions for dinner preliminaries in cluding this distinguished Quiche Lorraine.

Poultry Pointers For Bird Watchers Traditionally, Thanksgiving day is turkey day and the chances are that many fami lies will be enjoying turkey this week end even though it is readily available at reason able cost the year 'round. Oth ers will find eating pleasure ducklings, geese, fryer- boilers, roasting chickens and hens. Whichever you're buying read the label. For roasting, broiling, frying and barbecu ing, choose a young bird. For creamed chicken or turkey, for salad or other party ingre dient uses, choose a mature bird for firmer meat. We're not going to take val uable space telling anyone in this area how to roast poultry because everyone knows it's the easiest thing in the world to do, but we want to remind you of the rules covering the care of cooked turkey and of fer some fine suggestions for enjoying cold turkey. Care of Cooked Turkey Don't under any circumstan ces, allow turkey, broth, stuff ing or gravy to remain out of the refrigerator after the meal is served. It is a fallacy to be lieve that placing hot foods in the refrigerator causes them to spoil. Before refrigerating, remove all stuffing from turkey and put it in a covered bowl. It desired, remove remaining meal from the bones. Wrap or cover well. If you plan to make turkey soup, crack Ihe bones, wrap well and refrig erate. Small meal-size units, properly wrapped, may be frozen and held up to one rCT. : BAN-MI - - ill If ' " ,1? -1 U n r j or ! 1 FOR ALL YOUR MONEY MATTERS...

Do not freeze an uncooked, stuffed turkey or a roasted, stuffed turkey, Cold Turkey Delights Try Open-Face Sandwiches Many people maintain that they roast turkey for the joys of eating turkey sandwiches. Others say the same thing about stuffings, exclaim over the pleasures of the stuffing, both hot and warmed over. Turkey sandwiches are our meat. From skyscraper sandwich to single-layer, open-face treats, nothing beats Oregon Turkey. The secrets are its na tural ability to mix and matcn flavorfully with other meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, spreads, breads and unlimited sDecial concoctions, and its confident appropriateness for p v e r v sandwich occasion Make these with buttered, taasted bread, with hambur ger rolls or English muffins.

There are many. The 17 -member Constitu tional R e vision commission, set up by the 1961 Legislature, wrote the new document. It is being printed up now and will be in the hands of all !)() legis lators before they convene here Jan. 14. The biggest overhaul is in the executive branch. The governor would be the only slate elected official. This would eliminate the secretary of state, state treasurer, attor ney general and labor com missioner as elected officials. They could still be retained, but as appointive offices. There would be a lop of 20 executive departments under the governor, but not neces sarily in a cabinet system. This contrasts with the pres ent and far-flung 161 boards, commissions and other state agencies. There would be a brand new stale officer, a controller. He would be his own boss. 1 'A companiment for canapes or hors d'houevres. 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell. 1 tablespoon butter 3 slices Canadian bacon, 4 inch thick and diced medium onion, finely chop ped cup grated Swiss cheese, divided eggs, slightly beaten cup milk cup heavy cream Pinch grated nutmeg teaspoon salt teaspoon pepper Prepare pie shell according to favorite recipe or from a popular pie crust mix. Heat butter; add bacon and cook five minutes: remove onion. Cover bottom of pie shell with bacon, onion and one-fourth cup grated cheese. Combine remaining cheese, eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt and pep per; mix well. Pour over ba con mixture. Bake at 450 degrees, 15 min utes; reduce heat to 350 de grees. Continue baking 15 minutes longer or until cus tard is well set. Serve warm, cut in one-inch wedges. His job would be post-auditing -making sure lhat s'.Me funds were properly and legally spent. The secretary of stale now has this job. The controller would lie non-partisan and would serve a minimum eight year term. The manner of his selection has been left up to the legis lature. One of the hottest changes is in Ihe judicial branch. II would make all judges appointed by the governor -from the supreme court on down - instead of elected by the people. The only excep tion would be municipal judges. A judge would stand on his record at an election Iwo years after his appointmenl, but the only question would be "yes" or "no" on his retention, lie would have no opposition on the ballot. If the vole was "yes," he would serve six years and sland the same voter tcsl every six thereafter. If the voters ousted a judge, the governor would appoint a successor, and the yes-no cycle would begin for him. Actually, the governor ap points about 00 per cent of all judges now. A state law commission could be formed to advise the governor on his judicial ap poinlments. Bui the governor wouldn't have to take its ad vice. Legislative Changes The judicial appointment- law commission system is a modification of the contro versial "Missouri Plan" used by about half a dozen stales, including California. The new constitution would also make some major changes in the legislative branch. The legislature would meet annually, instead of every two years, ine limit on a (10 mem ber house and 30 member sen ate would be lifted, and the legislature could increase its membership during the rcgu lar 10 year rcapportionmenl with approval of the voters. Liquor-by - the -drink and capital punishment would be transferred to the statutes. A lot of deadwood would be thrown out. The present constitution has 23 articles, and the revision commission cut them to 14. The old has 237 sections and the new has 160. Ninety-eight old sections were lifted out in their entirety, and some new sections written. The first test for Ihe new constitution is the 1863 Legis lature, and it Is a tough one. A two-thirds majority of each house is required for passage. If solons pass il, the people will render their decision, probably at the 11)64 election. Next: The outlook for passage.
