Regional Roundup by Clava TwHchall Moil Tribune Regional Editor It is unlikely that the State Highway department conducts many highway relocation hearings quite like the ones held in Jacksonville last week. There arc un doubtably many hearings at which most of those mak ing themselves heard, speak against a proposed route, but such objections are usually made on the grounds the proposal would bypass the town by too great a dis tance and take away all its commerce, or that It would ruin the property of the person making the objection. But In Jacksonville, most seemed to fear that the highway wouldn't be taken far enough away from the city. Don't let it mar the historical sites (and sights) of the town was the cry most often heard. The hearings (actually one formal hearing and two information sessions) had their colorful and amusing moments. The color was provided by the surroundings in which the meetings were held, the old city hall building, and by the array of oidtlmcrs and Jackson-ville-ized young adults who spoke. The humor of the occasion, for us at least, was the delightful situation at the first Information meeting in which nobody could explain how the idea of surveying a bypass through Jacksonville had originated. Nobody in the audience knew who or what was behind the proposal and the highway department men present had to confess that they didn't know either. They had merely been di rected to make a survey. Subsequently we heard that the reason for the hurry was a large timber sale which is expected to take place in the Applcgate Valley this summer, necessitating use of the highway by numerous lumber trucks. Canttal Pointers Will Naad Storecards One practically needs a scoreboard to tell who's who in the Central Point city government following the musical-chair like developments in that city last week. At Tuesday night's council meeting, City Recorder Lyle Paull resigned. A few months previously he also had resigned as city administrator. At a special meet ing Friday night, Mayor Freeman Mason resigned and was appointed city recorder and administrator. City Council Chairman Bill Saxbury was then appointed mayor to fill out Mason's term. Two new councilmcn, Warren Holbrook and Ben Mushancy, were appointed, one to fill in for Saxbury, the other to replace Cliff Ayrea, who had resigned several weeks ago. Congratulations on your appointments, gentlemen!

During the discussion of youth fund raisers it was pointed out that a possible solution could be a fund raiser with each group spon soring a booth and the en tire community supporting it this one day of the year. It was pointed out that with proper publicity and participating from everyone in the community this could be a much better solution for the up-keep of the building for everyone concerned.
