Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13, 19E3 Chamber Official Tells Ashlanders Planning Needed Ashland James C. Schill, manager for the western dis trict of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, visited the Ash land Chamber Tuesday to con duct what he called a "brain storm session." He spoke to chamber members at their weekly luncheon at the Mark Antony hotel. Schill had praise for Ash land on one hand, calling it an attractive city, but then he asked chamber members if they could not be doing more than they already arc. "We can't Just plan for one year ahead in this day and age," Schill said. "We must project plans far in advance. We must be willing to change with the times or else go out of business." As an example, the speaker noted that the Seattle, Wash., Chamber of Commerce has projected plans as far ahead as the year 2000. Something to Sell A chamber has to have something to sell, Schill said, and it has to have a budget to back up the specific proj ects it is promoting. Schill tossed out a few ideas for specific projects, empha sizing that he had no idea whether they would apply to the Ashland area. "That is for you to determine," he told the chamber. Schill's ideas including do ing something to perpetuate the central core of the city, working with agriculture to increase the profits of the farmers and taking steps to reduce the percentage of drop outs between the ninth and twelfth grades. Study Safflower Growth He noted that the Silverton, Ore., Chamber is devoting half its budget to a test to see if safflower can be grown in that area for the benefit of farmers' incomes. Regarding dropouts, Schill said the statewide dropout percentage is 24.8. Each youth who fails to complete high school results in a loss of thousands of dollars of income to merchants in his commun ity. Schill said he realized that many such ideas are "contro versial," but he added, "Don't worry about controversy. Pro gress itself is controversial. If a poll were taken right here it would probably show that a majority of Ashlanders are against progress. Over-the-Counter Western Slocks By United Press International J3ank of America ast'i Calit.

TAYLOR OMOTH' MkLONI Cnema Scope f-rr -a Plans to Handle Conditions At Jefferson Are Reviewed (Conlinutd From Pag 1) At present, first and third graders are utilizing one room, and present plans are for a combination of first and second graders in one class room next year. School administrators have pointed out that pupils attend ing class in such situations are grouped as homogenous- ly as possible, and if parents wish their child transferred to a regular classroom, the child is moved. Administra tors pointed out, too, (hat teachers in such situations are carefully selected so the pupil docs not suffer academically. The plan for next year to have a "split" class of first and second graders is part of the fifth alternative offered to help relieve the situation at Jefferson school. Other Part of Plan The other part of the plan concerns the fourth grade, which next year will have 69 or 70 pupils, a fact about which concern was expressed by the Jefferson school area delegation. This plan, as outlined by Dr. Elliott Becken, assistant superintendent, at a recent meeting, has two alternatives. One would be" to have two Budd Gail Named to Assistant's Post Budd Gail, 416 South Grovcland ave., Medford, was named assistant postmaster of the Medford post office in the list of promotions in the su pervisory staff announced Tuesday by Acting Postmaster J.

Succeeding Gail as super- tendent of mails is Chet SUM man, 62 Wincma Way, who has been assistant superin tendent of mails. Boyce Kellogg, 1548 Whit man place, becomes assistant superintendent of mails, and Virgil Swanson, 518 Park si has been appointed to the new position of foreman ot car riers.

Teacher associates are planned in several elementary schools in the district under the Oregon Program for Edu cation Improvement in coop eration with Southern Oregon college and the state depart ment of education. Plana Are Flexible Dr. Becken pointed out that present plans are flexible, nd administrators can not at this time say definitely which plan may be adopted at Jeffer son school. Dr. Mayfield stressed that any plan suggested for adop tion has to be approved by the state department of edu cation. He assured the delega tion last night that additional personnel at Jefferson school would help relieve the situa tion anticipated in the num ber of fourth grade pupils. Hosick said an area encom passing more than 20 acres may be developed in the Jef ferson school area off Gar field ave. within the near future. Access to the tract was purchased within the past few days, he said, and added that development of the area could start soon.

Keith Hockcrsmith, board h a i r m a n, reviewed the board's problem in holding to minimum the number of classrooms planned for con struction before the 1963-64 school year. He pointed out that addi-! tional elementary classrooms are needed at several schools, and were planned to be in-1 eluded in a bond issue which would have financed construe- i tion of additional high school i facilities as well as elemen- j tary classrooms. Bond Issue Postponed However, because of at-1 tempts during the past year to consolidate part or all ot ; the Phoenix-Talent district to ' Medford, consideration of a bond issue had to be post poned until after that ques tion was settled. This has re sulted in a delay of about a year on the district s construc tion plans. Hockersmilh pointed out that during budget sessions, 10 additional elementary class rooms were originally con-' sldered. After reviewing at tendance and census figures, and reviewing plans for han dling students, the budget committee and school admin istrators believed the mini mum number of classrooms needed next year could be reduced to five without jcop- rdizing the academic pro gram, He noted, however, mat u classrooms are not added to Wilson and Lone Pine schools, some pupils in the primary grades will be double-shifted, situation which me ooara has tried to avoid. The number of additional classrooms planned through the operating budget was held to a minimum in the interests of economy, Hockcrsmith said, pointing out that the proposed budget Is a consid erable increase over tills year's general fund. Show Slight Decline Attendance and census fig ures show a slight decline in Jefferson school attendance and a ureater-than-cxpectod Increase In the Wilson and Lone Pine school areas, he said, a point which also was considered in planning class rooms, lor next year. Other elementary- class rooms are planned, including at least two at Jefferson, as soon as the district's construc tion program can be redeter mined and a bond issue called, Hockersmilh pointed out. The Jefferson school prob lem probably will be discuss ed again at the public hearing on the proposed budget for 1063-64, which will be hold at 7:30 p.m. Friday In Hed rick Junior High school. The delegation from the Jefferson school area attend- ine last nights meeting in cluded Mrs. Rita Shogren, Mr. and Mrs. Hosick, Mrs. Kay Philips, Mrs. Betty Orahood and Mrs. Lee Eisinstcin.
