Public Library Has
Half of Books on
Three Check Lists
' The Public Library of Med
ford and Jackson County is 1
of 10 in Oregon to hold more
than half of the titles on the
three book lists checked in the
recent survey of 118 public
libraries in Oregon reported
by Miss Eloise Ebert, state li
brarian, Omar Bacon, local li
brarian, told Friends of the
Library in meeting here this
week.
. The survey, the first since
1938, was conducted by the
University of Oregon bureau
.of business research at the
request of the state library. It
was presented to the local or
ganization by Bacon.
The questionnaires listed 41
titles of basic and specialized
reference books, 83 titles of
recently published, significant
adult titles on the "Notable
-Books of I960" list and the
list of "250 Best Books of
.I960" selected by the New
York Times, and the "Notable
Children's Books of I960."
Only 10 libraries, or 9 per
cent, held over half of the
titles on all three lists and the
'local library was one of them.
- Thirty -nine libraries hold
'more than 21 titles on the
basic and specialized refer
ence list and Jackson county
is one of them.
"' Eleven libraries hold 53 or
more titles on the list of re
cently published, significant
adult books and again the
"Public Library of Medford
and Jackson county is one of
.the 11.
Twenty -five libraries hold
21 or more titles on the list of
"Notable Children's books of
1960" and Jackson county is
one of the Jt5.
The report, entitled Public
Libraries in Oregon, recom
mended that the state library
be given power to advise local
libraries which are being
established and revamped.
It also favored new laws for
certification of librarians, abo
lition of libraries with fewer
than 20,000 books, and cooper
ation between cities and coun
ties in providing library sys
tems. It said that few Oregon
libraries meet standards of the
American Library association.
Most Are Inadequate
"Most Oregon libraries are
inadequate, and 25 per cent
of the people in the state have
no library service at all," the
report noted.
The program for the Mon
day night meeting of Friends
of the Library was presented
by Garner Haupert. Jr., who
was an American field service
exchange student to Norway
last summer.
He showed pictures taken
during his visit in the north
ern country and described the
scenes and his experiences.
He lived on a 400-acre farm
during his stay in Norway.
He took a scooter trip to see
the land of the midnight sun
and returned by boat to view
the fjords. Slides of these
scenes and of the hurricane
Alma, which hit when he was
two days out from New York,
are included in the collection.

Mrs. G. R. - My daughter

and has three children. In the
.past year she dragged the kids
to my house twice and stayed
for two weeks each time, ex
plaining, "Hal and I just had a

He worshipped Lana and we

The Council: Marital spats
as a form of birth control are,
in the opinion of many psy
chologists and psychiatrists,
even more immoral than abor
tion. They contribute to the
death of love, as well as the
mental inbalance of the young
children who witness them
and tremble at what they
mean.
On matters xxt morality.
those who are born into, and
remain faithful to, a religious
sect, defer to its leaders and
its teachings. Certainly this
column cannot presume to
recommend to Lana any of
the alternate methods of fam
ily limitation which are pro
scribed by her moral guides.
Thus, if she has a church af
filiation we urge her to con
tact the family service of that
body.
If, however, she would like
profesional help toward fam
ily planning, purely on the
physical and emotional levels,
we are glad to inform her that
facilities abound.
We trust that Lana won't
run home to mother again for
such a frightening reason. In
stead of kicking up a storm
with Hal in cold blood, so as
to have a reason to keep him
at more than arm's length,
she may sit down with him
and look up a few telephone
numbers to help them live to
gether happily even slight
ly "scrappily" ever after.
State laws are gradually
being liberalized in recogni
tion of the fact that three
quarters .of all American
married couples practice birth
control. The O's can contact

Oregon Entering Most Dynamic
Period of Growth, Soher Notes
"Oregon is entering its most
dynamic period of growth in
population and industrial
development, sparked by dra
matic gains in the 1960-1970
decade," according to Hubert
J. Soher, San Francisco, a na
tionally - recognized economic
and Industrial consultant, who
recently completed a year's
study of Oregon's economy
and has written a report en
titled "Oregon Today and To
morrow, An Economic Study
of the Quality State."
The documented study is
being published currently in
60-page-book form by Pacific
Power and Light company,
which plans to distribute it
nationally among investors,
editors, economists, and fi
nancial and industrial lead
ers. Advanced copies are
being released this week.
'As the work of an inde
pendent consultant of national
stature, the survey report will
prove a valued tool in attract
ing new investments needed
to foster the continued prog
ress of Oregon," according to

'Minor' Violations Reviewed by Chief
N an exchange of letters,
President Kennedy replied
that he is "encouraged" at
Mr. Kroosh's agreement . to
the PRINCIPLE of on-site
inspection for policing a test
ban.
But, he added, he doesn't
think Khrushchev's' offer goes
far enough to assure an ade
quate system of safeguards.
As to that, he is undoubted
ly right at this moment in history.
In almost every traffic ac
cident there is a violation of
motor vehicle law. Many
times there are two or more
violations.
There is no such thing as
a minor traffic regulation or
a minor violation if an acci
dent is involved," according
to Medford Chief of Police
Charles P. Champlin.
Champlin itemized a few
of what many people errone
ously consider "minor" viola-
WHAT may come of it?
The state department
says in a statement "it is to
be hoped" that the Soviet
Union now will negotiate "on
the number of such inspec
tions and other related ar
rangements in a realistic and
meaningful way."
"High U.S. officials" dis
cussing the reversal in Soviet
test ban policy stopped short
of saying that it represents a
real break-through in the long
deadlock of test-ban talks
with Russia, but they think
it MIGHT lead to a break
through in the near future.
WHAT to think of it all?
Let's put it this way:
We are quite certain that
we have nuclear weapons
enough to blow Russia to
kingdom come if we should
turn them all loose at one
time. Mr. Kroosh about half
admitted that in a statement
the other day.

Ashland Library
Opens Sub-Station
Ashland - Billings Branch
is the name of the new sub
station of the public library
opened last week in Garden
Way park.
Mrs. Angela Sharyon, who
was in charge of the branch
library located on Siskiyou
blvd., moved into the new
quarters after remodeling of
the small Tudor structure
was completed.
A gift from Mr. and Mrs.
John Billings In memory of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Billings, made possible
the modernization of the
building donated to the li
brary by the Economic De
velopment Commission. It
had been used during the sum
mer tourist season as an in
formation headquarters on
Lithia Way.
The new library is situated
in the ' upper corner of the
park which was given to the
city by Ashland Soroptimist
club several years ago.
In 1896 there were only
four automobiles, generally
known as "horseless carrlag
es," In the entire U. S.
tions, pointing out that each
one takes its share in loss of
life, injury and property dam
age in Medford.
A state law requires all
vehicles when leaving an
alley or driveway to stop be
fore crossing the crosswalk.
A stop sign requires a full
stop, not a "rolling stop as
some drivers are prone to do.
Coasting down hill by
putting the car in neutral is
dangerous as well as unlawful.
These are a few of the
rules which too many drivers
forget or ignore, and acci
dents continue to happen,
Champlin said.
Traffic rules are Intended
for the motorist's protection,
he said, but motorists have
that protection only if they

FOR SNOW'S
established Oregon's reputa
tion for products which com
mand premium prices, for
livability, favorable business
climate, unparallcl recreation
facilities, and for business op
portunities in many fields, the
report states.
From this sound base Soher
predicts that:
Oregon, with plenty of
growing room, will have a
population of 2,300,000 by
1070 and 3,100,000 by 1980.
Research, in both educa
tional institutions and indus
trial plants, will become a
major industry.
The tourist business, which
in 1962 brought more than
7,000,000 visitors and $217,
000,000 into the state, will
pass the $300,000,000-a-year
rate in the 1970's, rivaling to
day's half-billion dollar agri
cultural income, which is sec
ond only to the state's billion
dollar timber income.
Will Show Gains
The burgeoning electronics
nd scientific instru m e n t s
business will show additional
sensational gains.
fisheries will expand to
meet the nation's increasing
demand for seafoods.
Students in higher educa
tion facilities will reach the
50,000 mark by 1965-66 and
exceed 80.000 by 1970.
The region s large and ade
quate power supply, now at
the 15,000,000 kilowatt ca
pacity level, will reach 50,
000,000 kilowatts by 1990 and
80,000,000 kilowatts by 2010.
During tnat time the region
will pass from hydroelectric
to conventional steam-electric
and finally to thcrmo-nuclcar
for the basic source of power
supply.
The state's vast water re
sources will mean develop
ment of double to triple to
day's irrigated acreage and
also will attract new indus
tries.
The forest industry, now in
transition, will continue to
upgrade its products and will
thrive in better-financed, bet
ter-managed and integrated
operations. The pulp and pa
per industry will grow amazingly.
Continue to Increase
Heavy, light and exotic
metal working will continue
to increase.
Oregon's natural market of
6,000,000 consumers in the
Pacific Northwest and Alaska
will expand greatly in Cali
fornia, the West generally and
also nationally and inter.
nationally.
Commerce, by ship, barge,
rail, highway and air, will
gain with the economy.
Food processing, apparel
manufacturing, con struction
and, generally, all Oregon
business and industry will
follow upward trends in both
western and eastern Oregon.
The chemical industry will
become one of the nation's
principal convention centers.
Other inland and coast cities
will share in tourism's expansions.
Motorists Warned of
Prohibited Parking
Medford motorists have
been cautioned by Police
Chief Charles P. Champlin
about the city ordinance
which prohibits parking be
tween the edge of a property
line and the edge of a curb.
The ordinance does not pro
hibit parking between the
street and the property line
if there is no curb, Champlin
said, unless, of course, such
parking is unsafe. -
