8A MONDAY. MAY , liii MEDFOHD MAIL TrilBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup By Clv Twltchdl , regional Editor We checked out a couple of Talent area rumors with Tal ent Mayor Wayne Reichstein the other day, and as might have been expected, there wasn't much sustance to either of them. The first ru mor was that Talent's new water system would take water out of Wagner creek only during the Irrigation sea son and still rely on well water during the winter. Not so, said Reichstein. Talent's water will come from Wagner creek the year round when the development project is completed. The wells will be ior supplementary water only, Th other rumor we had heard was that piped water would be made available to homes in the Talent rural area within a year, perhaps even before the South Talent Sanitary district gets a sewer system in. But Mayor Reich stein said he doubted it, un less the residents of the Talent rural area get busy and form a water district in a hurry. The city council of Talent IKIES have in mind, however, that such a rural district, if and when formed, could ob tain water from the city s water system. That factor was one of the considerations eyed by the council when it decided to propose a bond issue to fi nance improvement of the city's water facilities, we un derstand. South Talent Sanitary Board Discusses Budget Tidbits While driving through Eagle Point last week, we no ticed "For Sale" signs on at jeast two properties along Little Butte creek. Could be that some families want to get out before there's another flood. Speaking of Little Butte creek, we wonder when it la that a creek becomes a river. That certainly is a wicked looking creek. Even last week it was almost over flowing lis banks in some spots. Perhaps a campaign to change It to a river would be In order. FACELIFTING . Prospect - The kitchen of the Prospect community hall is getting a facelifting. Mem bers have been putting In new drainboards and new doors on the cupboards. A new coat of paint is being applied. Talent - The first of I se- ries of budget discussions was held by the South Talent San itary District board Thursday evening. About 20 residents of the district attended. The budget ' committee, whose members are Charles Cory, Mrs. Dean Blackburn and Mrs. Clarence Christian son, was introduced. A discussion of the prob lems facing the budget com mittee was led by Everett Schmelzer, chairman of the board, and Don Grimes, board member. Schmelzer announced that Gold Hill Fire Class To Meet Wednesday, 7 PM Gold Hill - Rescue proced ures and ladder elevation will be taught during the fifth in series of classes and drills on fire fighting training in Gold Hill Wednesday. Bob Swindler, Medford fire. man, who u the instructor, said the meeting will be held this time at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30 p. m. at the fire hall in Gold Hill. The uses of rope and knots also will be in cluded In this session he said. Swindler said men who have been attending the class es and drills the past weeks seemed to be Interested in the course. He feels because of this much is to be gained for the city. Since properly trained men results in mini mizing of property lose and life hazards. The city is offering the course to give men here an opportunity to obtain knowl edge of how to protect them selves when giving their ser vice as a volunteer fireman as well as to learn important factors involved In fire fight ing. All fire fighting in Gold Hill is done strictly on a vol untccr basis. Men who have been taking the course are do ing so on a volunteer basis.
