Regional Roundup
by Cleva Twltchell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor -
A map of the State Highway department's proposed
new route for the Medford-Provolt highway through the
city of Jacksonville is on file at the city recorder's office
in the Jacksonville fire hall.
We went over to take a look at it yesterday, and it
was not difficult to see why the proposed route has
already become quite a topic of conversation in Jackson
ville. The route tends to remind one of the old saying
a straight line is the shortest distance between two
points. If one were to draw one mark at the point where
the present highway from Medford crosses F st. at the
northeast side Jacksonville and another mark at the
point where it crosses Vine st. on the west side of the '
city and heads for the Applegate valley and then draw
a straight line between those two points, one would
get a pretty good idea of where the proposed highway
would be placed.
As seen on the map, the proposed highway would
' roughly run parallel to and a little south of Jackson
creek. It would cross Oregon st. about halfway between
C and D sts., cross Third st. about halfway between
D and E sts. and cut just about through the middle
of the intersection of Fourth and F sts. The new high
way would go through 10 city blocks, necessitating, ac
cording to City Recorder Jean Hewlett, the removal of
about 14 houses.
The dates of two hearings on the highway route
have just been announced, we learned from Mayor E. O.
Graham yesterday afternoon. The formal hearing will
take place on Thursday, April 4 at 1:30 p.m., because
a daylight formal hearing is required to meet legal re
quirements. But to accommodate those unable to come
during the day, an informal hearing will be held at 7
p.m. Wednesday, April 3. Both hearings Nwill be at the
Jacksonville City hall.
Tourist Attractions and Wildflowers 4
Spring is here and one way to notice it is to look
around and see how many tourist drawing cards are
starting to open up.
Mr. snd Mrs. Ernie Cooper's House of Mystery at the
Oregon Vortex reopened March 1. And Cooper told us
Monday that "business" so far in March this year has
exceeded the figures for January, February and the same
portion of March last year. (The attraction stayed open
all winter last year but closed for the two months this
year.) The Coopers also own the Old Oregon museum
on Sardine Creek rd. and report that starting April 1
it will be open seven days a week. The museum has
been open on week ends only during the winter.
. Another sign of spring, of course, is the blooming
of wildflowers, and one of the more spectacular displays
of wildflowers to be seen in southern Oregon is on
Roug and Ready Flat, between Cave Junction and
O'Brien. Here's a report from Letha Cooke, our O'Brien
correspondent:
"Wado rock cress, Hall's violet and grass widows
are beginning a colorful display of their individual and
unique personalities on Rough and Ready Flat, it was
reported by Al Hobart. Passersby may view the gather
ings of gold stars along the road and an occasional grass
widow nodding in the breeze. This is only the beginning
for some flowers but the candytuft which started with
the first bloom of the season will continue to lend a
touch of pure white simplicity until much of the bril
liant color is expended." ,
Fire Class Scheduled
The Gold Hill fire depart
ment's smoke masks will be
utilized tonight at 7 p.m. dur
ing a fire fighting training
class in a simulated house
fire at the smoke chamber
In Medford.
Bob Swindler, instructor
and Medford fireman, stressed
that the purpose of this smoke
chamber is to teach the men
to protect themselves when
gaining entry to a smoke-filled
building and how to rescue
someone from a burning
building.
All personnel will be wear
ing masks.
Swindler said there will be
men from Gold Hill, Jackson
ville and Talent fire depart
ments participating. Anyone
interested in becoming a vol
unteer firemen is encouraged
to attend. He stressed that
those who missed the first
class at Gold Hill, March 13,
will be briefed on the use of
smoke masks before going in
the smoke chamber.
Butte Falls PTA Discusses
Pros, Cons off Kindergarten
By MARY JO HARRIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Butte Falls - Highlights of
the March Parent Teacher as
sociation meeting held at the
Butte Falls High school were
the election of a nominating
committee and a discussion
on the possibilities of a
kindergarten.
Mrs. Charles Copeland,
magazine chairman, reported
that 18 subscriptions to the
PTA magazine had beea sold
to date. Andrew Hamstra and
Leonard Stratton, member
ship co - chairmen, reported
the association now has 71
members for the year.
Members of the nominating
committee, elected by ,the as
sociation were Mrs. Jim
Moore and Mrs. John Wolter.
The, executive committee
elected Mrs. Ray Chambers
as the third member of the
committee. This committee
will report on nominees for
office at the April meeting.
Baby Silting
It was announced that baby
sitting for regular meetings
was not a budgeted item and
suggested that members think
of this as a possible item for
next year's budget.
The association will be
asked at the April 8 meeting
to elect delegates for the State
Convention scheduled for
April 30, May 1 and 2 to be
held in Eugene.
It was announced that Butte
Falls would participate in the
current television show,
"Spelldown" . on April 8 at
7:30 p.m. Opponents will be
spellers from Prospect.
Following the regularly
scheduled meeting, Charles A.
Meyer, Superintendent of Dis
trict 6 schools, was introduced
to discuss the pros and cons
of a kindergarten.
Meyer stated that kinder
gartens provide experiences
emotionally and socially for
children prior to starting
school, as a period of orienta
tion.
The school law says that
children are ready for school
by November 15 but annar-
ently not by November 16, he
said. It is an established pat
tern that children start school
at age 6 and yet Is a well
known fact that some chil-
Central Point
Teachers Meet To
Select Textbooks
Central Point - Intermedi
ate grade teachers of Cen
tral Point Elementary school
have been meeting in com
mittee with other teachers of
district 6 to evaluate and se
lect textbooks and related
materials for the language
arts program for the next six
years.
They have also met with
representatives of the vari
ous book companies to review
the offerings of their respec
tive companies.
Constant maintenance and
improvement of the communi
cation skills of the student ne
cessitates much study before
a textbook adoption can be
made. For this reason, the
final decision will not be
made until early May, accord
ing to Jack McCoy, principal
of Central Point Elementary
school.
In the interest of proper
planning and ultimate utili
zation of these new materials,
certain teachers will be se
lected to work on revision of
present courses of study in
the language curriculum dur
ing the summer recess, he con
tinued.
dren are not ready at age 6
while others are ready much
sooner.
Kindergartens provide an
opportunity for group shar
ing and a freedom of use to
develop individual talents,
Meyer went on.
The ideal kindergarten
works within the school sys
tem, to avoid having a first
grade class with half its stu
dents having attended the
kindergarten and the other
half not.
Legal aspects were dis
cussed. It was stated that it
would take one-third of the
voters' signatures to get an
issue on ballot.
Money and space seem to be
the answer to all school prob
lems. A question and answer
period followed Meyer's dis
cussion on Kindergartens.
Warren Holbrook, art In
structor at Crater High school,
accompanied Meyer.

Four key differences between
the reckless
and the
careful investor
(Recognize anyone?)
. Here's how to tell one from the other:
Reckless: Flames into action on a tip.
Careful: Ignores the tip and settles down Tor a good hard
look at the facts. What does the company sell? What are its
prospects? What have its earnings been? What dividends has ,
it been paying?
The careful investor has information like this before he in
vests a penny. Not only to help him make intelligent invest
ments. But to help him choose securities that seem most
likely to bring him to his goals. Such as a second income from .
dividends. Or growth in value of his stock. Or the relative
stability of value and income that good bonds can provide. -
Reckless: Is happily certain the price can only go up.
Careful: Knows that the prices of stocks and bonds go
down as well as up. That a company may falter or fail, may -not
continue to pay dividends or interest. But he also knows
that as America grows he may have the opportunity to grow
with it through wise shareownership. ... ,
RecklcsstThinksallbrokersarealikeandanybrokerwilldo.
Careful: Knows that brokers differ though none are in
fallible. He's aware that a Member Firm of the New York
Stock Exchange is required to observe many Exchange rules.
And that he will have the services there of a Registered Rep
resentative who has met the Exchange's qualifications. A
Member Firm can provide him with many facts essential to
farsighted selection of good stock.
Reckless : Plunges with whatever money he has, hoping for
fast gains. - , , .
Careful: Watches his income like a hawk. Keeps one eye
on the future. From the top he draws enough to pay normal
living expenses. Next he puts aside what's necessary to pro
vide for any major emergency. On what remains he plans his
investments.
If you like the idea of investing systematically, you'll be
interested in the Monthly Investment Plan. Through the Plan
you can select stock from among America's greatest com
panies and invest with as little as $40 every three months
($3.08 a week). Send the coupon for a booklet packed with
useful information including a description of the Plan. .
