I-JL WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24. 11(1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup y Cleve Twltchell Regional Iditor The things people accom clish are too often given full recognition only after they have eone on. Such may turn out to be the case with the civic efforts of Milton Stein metz, mayor of Gold Hill, who died Saturday. Mr. Steinmetz retired as a civilian engineer four years ago. Subsequently he gave his attention to city matters, per forming numerous engineer ing services for the city of Gold Hill on a donation basis. Also working on donated lime, he brought maps of city streets and sewer and water lines up to date so that ac curate, permanent records of them would be available. The work that Mr. Stein metz did undoubtably saved the taxpayers of Gold Hill a fair amount of money, al though how much is difficult to determine. But we have an idea that the city officials and citizens of Gold Hill will miss him all the more when, in the future, they find them selves obligated to pay for services the late mayor took care of himself. fa Bm W H JMfefl H gfj MB m 200 Take Part In I00F Historic Trek COUNTY OFFICERS-Following the inau gural ceremony of the new officers for the Department of Classroom Teachers of Jackson County, each new officer was pre sented with a small gold candle decorated with the number 90, which represented the 50th anniversary of the organization. New officers include, left to right, Mrs. Lee Merriman, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Steve Wisely, treasurer; Mrs. Clara Fader, recording secretary; David Harbison, vice president; Mrs. Ailene Inlow, president; and installing officer Mrs. Zelma Foote, re gional director of the DCT. Facts and Opinions There are very few facts in this world - and lots of opin ions. Confusion arises when people fail to see the differ ence between a fact and an opinion. Much of what is ac cepted by many people as fact today is really Just opinion. Along this line, we were amused when several people called up to complain about the Jacksonville highway story in Sunday's Mail Trib une. The story quoted a State Highway commission memor andum, which among other things, made the statement that "only two small houses" would be affected by the Med-ford-Provoit highway reloca tion project. Those who called up voiced the opinion that the story was in error, because they had been told by a highway de partment spokesman pre viously that 14 houses would be affected. What those who phoned in failed to realize was that the story did not report that the highway relocation project would affect only two houses; it reported that In the opinion of the highway commission it would affect only two small houses. The matter of how many houses would be affect ed by the proposed highway route Is still very much mat ter of opinion. It will remain a matter of opinion until the highway is actually built -providing of course that the proposed route Is adopted. And even then, If two en gineers disagree on how many houses they actually did re move, the matter will still be in the realm of opinion rath er than fact.
