MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
Regional
Roundup

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.

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.
