Formation of Local Council Progressing Rapidly, Holdt Says
Formation of a Medford
council for the rehabilitation
and employment of ex-offenders
is progressing rapidly, ac
cording to Ted J. Holdt of the
state board of control.
Holdt, who is state director
of rehabilitation and employ
ment for ex-offenders, report
ed last week that seven promi
nent Rogue Valley business
men have agreed to serve on
the council, the first of its
kind in Oregon.
"I am extremely pleased
with the response to the pro
gram here," Holdt said He
announced his hope of setting
up a council in Medford,
March 7, and followed it up
with talks before several val
ley organizations, including
the Medford Chamber of
Commerce.
Purpose of Council
The purpose of the council
will be to help ex-offenders
readjust to society and gain fenders by the labor market tcntion for limited periods if

"Ex-offenders are people."

to do independent research on
some topic of special Interest
to them. The exhibits were to
show research, technical skill
and or illustration and dem
onstration, with the research
division receiving the higher
number of points.
Grades one, two apd three

egories: physical or applied
slcencc, and biological or liv
ing science.

Other entries were awarded
merit awards for entering.
Each exhibit was accompa
nied by a logbook prepared
by the atudent, containing
data on the exhibit and de
scribing what had been done,
what particular scientific
principle was being proved,
materials used, and an evalu
ation of the project as a
whole.
The subject of Bill Lang
don's exhibit was concrete,
tracing the development of
the product, with examples of
the material at the different
stages. The log describes how
he first decided on the subject
and traces the development
ot his exhibit. Bill Is a student
in Maurice Nelson's fourth
grade.
Nurtured In nock
Stephen Lee, who is a sixth
grader in Roland Griffith'.;
room, set out to prove that
plants can be nurtured in
rock by using chemical fer
tilizers. A sweet potato, a bulb
plant, and radishes were
flourishing in crushed granite
and were fed by tubes from
Urge glass containers.
Lynn McCallister, a fifth
grade student in Howard
Lindstrom's room, had as her
project the human car, its
parts and function. She fash
ioned the car from clay, using
different colors to represent
the different areas. The log
consisted of a box, fashioned
on the order of a television
set, with a manually operated
picture roll describing the exhibit.
Grades one, two. and three
Inaa Munes, pictures, unci dis

space, living things, and
spring discoveries.
In the natural science divi
sion, there were such exhibits

tion, ant life, solar eclipse, a
compression chamber, a mini
ature oil derrick operated by
a steam engine and using
black shoe polish as oil, views
under a microscope, different
methods of communication,
and the structure of a volcano.
Exhibitas in the biological
division included gardens un
der glass, kinds of mold, types
of blrdlife, animal cells, how
the growth of plants is affect
ed by different colored lights,
and one exhibit answered the
question "Can you graft a to

Tour Suggested by
Coutny Extension
Agent lor Motorist
It ts peaf blossom time in
the Rokuc valley, and what
ever the weather, many peo
ple will be driving through
the orchard areas to view the
blooms.
The tour recommended by
County Horticultural Agent
C. B. Cordy starts with Jack
sonville, where motorists are
advised to turn south on the
Old Stage rd. and continue
south to Talent, keeping west
of the railroad tracks. When
ever the route is interrupted
by railroad tracks, stay on
the west side until approach
ing Talent.
There, the sightseer should
cross and when reaching the
Pacific highway continue
south for about 100 yards.
then take the Valley View or
Suncrcst rd. into the Sun
crest area across Bear creek.
By continuing the drive and
keeping east of Bear creek,
the motorist will eventually
reach the HUtcreat orchard.
The largest solid block of
pears in the valley is south
of Medford from Stewart ave.
to the Foothills rd.
The Jacksonville-Phoenix
rd. cuts through the southern
part of this area. But the only
way to really travel into the
heart of these orchards is by
taking private orchard roads
and this practice, Cordy point
ed out, is frowned upon be
cause of the constant danger
of getting stuck in orchard
mud.
Flowering orchardi CAll be
seen from the established
roads in many arras so no
one needs to lake chances to
satisfy the desire to see fruit
trees in bloom.
