Growth of College
Noted During SOC
Graduation Rites
Ashland The "amazing
growth" of Southern Oregon
college was noted here Sun
day when Allan Hart of the
state board of higher educa
tion brought greetings from
the board at the 37lh annual
Commencement exercises in
Lithia park.
Hart predicted that South
ern Oregon college would
continue to be one of the fast
est growing colleges in the
state. .
' He warned of the problems
this continued growth will
bring, particularly the ex
panding costs which accom
pany increased enrollments.
He expressed satisfaction
wth the accomplishments of
Southern Oregon college in
terms of curricular offerings
and expansion of facilities to
care for the increased growth.
Principal Speaker
Dr. Leonard W. Rice, presi
dent of Oregon College of
Education, Monmouth, princi
pal speaker at the commence
ment ceremonies, chose the
question, "Is Despair Neces
sary?" as subject of his ad
dress. His answer was "no," but
he urged the college to re
member its responsibility to
the different types of persons
who make up American so
ciety today. Every type is
worthy of consideration, the
speaker emphasized.
More than 290 degrees
were conferred by President
Elmo N. Stevenson in spite
of rainfall which forced a
number of spectators to seek
rover before the scheduled
program for the largest grad
uating class in the history of
the college was completed.
Gresham Business
Building Destroyed
Gresham - (UPI) - Damage
was estimated at between
$250,000 and $500,000 from
an early morning that roared
through the McRobert Motor
Co. in downtown Gresham.
The one-story- block-square
building was virtually de
stroyed and about a dozen
new cars ruined, firemen said.
Poor Pollinization
Causes Major Fruit
Losses in County
Major fruit losses this
spring were due mainly to
poor pollinization, the an
nual spring frost work re
port indicated.
Meteorologist William J.
Rogers, for the Fruit Frost
Forecast service, noted that
"Pollination weather dur
ing the season was poor, per
haps the worst on record; it
would be difficult to find
such an extended period of
cold, cloudy and rainy
weather.
"The weather was not con
ducive to fertilization once
the blossoms were pollinat
ed. For this and perhaps oth-
Dedication Set
At Howard Prairie
Approximately 180 peopie
will be invited to the public
dedication of the Howard
Prairie recreation area June
29, it was reported at last
night's meeting of the Jackson
County Parks and Recreation
commission.
Most of the meeting consist
ed of a discussion of arrange
ments and possible parking
problems.
June will be a busy month
for the county parks and re
creation department. Director
Neil Ledward must arrange
for the water carnival at Emi
grant lake June 22 and 23, the
Howard Prairie dedication
June 29 and probably the an
nual Fourth of July fireworks
display at Emigrant Lake
July 4.
Some work also is sched
uled at Savage creek park site
near Rogue River and the new
Applegate recreation area
near the Applegate store this
month.
Ledward requested a prior
ity list of parks and recreation
projects from the commission
to avoid schedule conflicts
and confusion.
The commission at an ear
lier meeting also discussed
setting forth a policy statement
in making recommendations
to the county court and to
more clearly define its duties
and responsibilities.
NEWS(Q)BRIEFS
er reasons as well, the set
was extremely poor on Bart
lett and certainly not heavy
on other varieties," Rogers
wrote in his report.
The meteorologist ended
his seasonal duties here last
week and returned to his
base office at Pomona, Calif.
He also noted that losses
due to unfavorable pollina
tion weather were "extreme
ly variaoie, ' Dut quite se
vere. "Some orchards which
were well heated and had al
most no blossom kill from
frost had reduced crops. A
few orchards have heavy
crops now while adjacent or
chards have little.
Development Varied .
Blossom development var
ied not only from tree to tree
and orchard to orchard, but
also within a tree, Rogers
pointed out. This made it dif
ficult to determine critical
temperatures.
"In unheated orchards, the
losses from the nights of
April 1, April 16 and April
20 were extensive and se
vere. Peaches in the Ashland
area were hard hit, with some
croys wiped out," Rogers re
ported. "In some high ground
orchards, Bartletts were vir
tually wiped out and other
varieties cut down to less
than 25 per cent of a crop.
In all unheated orchards,
damage ranges from total loss
to very severe."
"We have no figures on
blossom kill in unhealed or
chards in the freeze years of
1936 and 1954 (the worst
prior years on record), but it
seems likely that blossom
kill was greater this year. In
all unheated orchards, dam
age ranges from total loss to
very severe," Rogers added.
During the past season, a
number of growers used citi
zen band radios to report
cloud cover and movement
and temperatures. This help
ed to establish the tempera
ture pattern from Kirtland
rd. to the north to the Talent
area. Meteorologist Rogers
was tied in to the system
from his Medford airport office.
Firearms Training
Class Will Start
In Area Tomorrow
A two-day firearms training
class, attended by law en
forcement officers from three
southern Oregon counties,
will get under way tomorrow
at the White City firing
range, according to Medford
Police Chief Charles P.
Champlin.
FBI Agents Max Taylor and
James Mullaney will be in
charge of the instruction. The
training session was arranged
and is being sponsored by the
Mpdford police department.
Instruction will be offered
in use of the .38 caliber serv
ice revolver, the , 12 . gauge
snotgun and in tear gas equip
ment, Champlin said. About
85 officers from Jackson,
Josephine and Klamath coun
ties are expected to partici
pate in the session, which
will conclude Thursday.
Complete Session
Chief Champlin also an
nounced that two ' Medford
police officers, Charles Wil
liam Eagle and David Lee
Wells, have successfully com
pleted a 12-day training ses
sion at the Oregon Police
academy at Camp Whithy

their classes May 31.
Champlin further said he
has been notified that he and
eight of his officers have pass
ed a course in municipal po
lice administration, which was
sponsored by the Internation
al City Managers association.
The class was instructed by
Medford Assistant City Man

"The denial of the use of

severe crop losses in the fu

loss of revenue to the grow

The purpose and organlza
lion of a Citizen's Advsiory
Committee to study secondary
school needs in District 54'JC
was outlined for about 100
residents at meeting in Med
ford High school last night.
The district taxpayers had
been invited to participate In
a study of secondary school
needs by the school board.
The study group will make
recommendations to assist the
board In deciding what course
to follow in connection wiln
secondary school needs.
Keith Hockcrsmith, board
chairman, said tnc committee
was organized because the
board felt advice from district
patrons was considered to be
desirable in view of the com
plexity of the secondary
school problem.
He listed two main points
which have been Instrument
jl in deciding to organize a
"itizcn's advisory committee.
They are (1) information gath-1 Dr. Leonard B. Mavfield

the Oregon Program, and (2) , cs in education were seen ln
the fact that a secondary
school site off Crater Lake
vc. may not be desirable in
view of recent information
coming to the attention of the
board.
Ilockersmith pointed out
that opinions of the board and
school administrators will not
be expressed to the commit- j
lee so the committee can !
trips made under the Oregon
Program, and some of these
changes may be Incorporated
in the Medford system.
Dr. Mayfield and Hockcr
