William Jones Responsible for Several Roads in Rogue River National Forest William (Bill) L. Jones, 87, one of the Rogue River Na tional Forest service's most widely known career men, for whom funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Perl Funeral home, began his 28-year service with the na tional forest in 1912. He died Sunday. Jones started as a forest guard on Huckleberry Moun tain where he remained until he was transferred to Wood ruff Meadows in 1914. His first assignment as a district ranger was on the Butte Falls district at the Mos quito Ranger station in 1916, a nosition he held until he was transferred to head the : Dead Indian district in 1919 j and 1920, files at the Medford office show. Abilities Are Sough! In 1921 Jones' abilities in the field of fire control were sought by the state of Oregon and he accepted an appoint ment as district fire warden for Jackson county in a coop erative effort to help the state in controlling the fire situa tion. After a year as forest ware houseman, he started 1S23 as the first superintendent of construction, a position now called forest engineer. He was in charge of all construction work on the forest. In July of that year, following the resig nation of the district ranger on the combined Butte Falls Dead Indian district, Jones as sumed the responsibility of both jobs for the following two years. The "Flying Squadron," the first group of trained fire fighters whose mobility gave them their name, was assigned to Jones in 1925. The squad ron was made up of expert firefighters and they assumed charge of project fires on the Crater Forest during their ten ure, forest officials noted.

MEDFORD CORDA Function Fvnlainorl n.irinn kApiUllllU VUllliy Chamber Lunch Ashland - The functions and purposes of the Cal-Ore Recreational Development as sociation (CORDA) were ex plained to members of the Ashland Chamber of Com merce Tuesday by Charles Collins, execeutive vice presi dent of the organization. On display at the meeting was a scale model of the pro posed Mt. Ashland ski area, depicting the slopes and ski tows as they will appear when developed. The model was made by CORDA to be turned over to the group of Ashland area residents de veloping the ski area. CORDA is a non profit corporation formed by the county officials of four Ore gon counties (Jackson, Jose phine, Klamath and Douglas) and one in California (Modoc) to stimulate development of recreational facilities in the member counties, Collins ex plained. The group, which also has members from major indus tries in the area, is not de signed to undertake develop ment projects itself but rather to coordinate plans for de velopments. Collins indicated that the organization is particularly interested in eliminating over lapping in recreational de velopment plans. "In the area of dealing with government agencies, our five counties can act as a united group and thereby gain more attention than a single county would," he also noted. CORDA is working on drawing up an overall map, Collins said, showing all the recreational facilities in Iho five counties - maps which can be stocked and distributed by all chambers of commerce in the area, thereby eliminat ing duplication of effort and expense. The maps will not be ready for the 1063 tourist season, he added, however.

What is probably the tallest bill board in this part of the country now rises just south of 10th St., to attract the attention of freeway travellers. It has caused concern to some city and state officials, not so much because of itself, but because it could become the forerunner of a "billboard alley" through the center of town. The state high way commission has no jurisdiction over it as it is within the city limits, and the city's zonning ordinance does not ban signs in "industrial" areas such as this. OBITUARIES JAMES A.
