The controversy over Web ster's New Third International Dictionary (Morriam-Webster) which has raged nationwide since its publication last year, has reached into educational and library circles in Jackson county. Some criticize it sharply; others praise it as a definitive work which accurately re flects the language as Jt is today. "This dictionary will never enter my library," is one comment. Another: "Our standards are disintegrating, our teen agers are setting the standards.' Part of the controversy has come about because the edi tors have dropped such status labels as "colloquial" and "il literate," and use the terms 'substandard," "non stand- ard," "standard," and "slang." No effort is made to distin guish a word as "bad" or good," but only to record how the word is used in the United States. Indicates Usage Webster uses "substandard" to indicate usage which ex ists in the U.S., but which differs from that of the pres tige group in that community. For instance, two "standard" words are "drowned" and "himself." "DroWndcd" and "his-sclf" are listed as sub standard. The term, "non standard," is used for "a small number of words that can hardly stand without some status label, but are too widely current In reputable context to be labeled sub standard, as, Mr-regardless'.' Mrs. Margaret Zwlck, dean of girls at Ashland High school, says, "My main ob Jectlon is the theory that any thing that Is spoken is cor rect. I believe that anyone concerned with education, which should include publish ers of dictionaries, should at tempt to maintain and even raise standards of spoken and written English.". Giles Green, librarian at Ashland High school, says, "The English-speaking people have always looked to Web ster as the final authority on all questions relating to the English language. Until the publication of the Third Edi tion, people of letters had never been afraid of compro mise. They had known that if Webster approved, the usage was correct. Unfortunately, this Third Edition has gone too far in this matter of vali dating bv common usage. It has compromised our langu age with 'slanguage'." The word "ain't" has rais ed a furor, as the first mean ing of the word bears no la bel and the definition says, "used orally in most parts of the U.S. by many cultivated speakers. The definition for another word in dispute, "don't," slates that it is "often used with a singular subject by cultivated speakers though the construction is sometimes objected to, as, 'He don't want to go'." In tracing the history of a language, It is louna tnat words In favor in one century may be in disrepute in an other century. Such word as fellow" during Shake- speares time was used in speaking to a menial or serv ant. Today, the word carries no connotations and no one would object to being called fellow. Dr. Richard Byrns, profes- Postmasters Will Meet in Medford Medford will be the site of the 1964 convention of the Oregon Chapter, National As sociation of Postmasters, Al Bradford, acting postmaster of Medford. has announced. Postmasters attending the 1963 convention at Newport', which concluded Thursday, voted to come to Medford for their three-day convention to be held sometime during June, 1964. Next year, Bradford stated the program for the conven tion will consist of seminars and educational sessions con ducted by members of the staff of the Seattle region, United State post office de partment inspection service and members of the National Association of Postmasters. Attendance Is usually about 250. Farley Elliott of Bend was named president ot the group. sor of English at Southern Oregon college, points out that the language is continu ally changing. The word, "anon," originally meant "right now." Then its mian ing changed to "in a little while." Differing Meaning In addition, a word can have differing meanings de pending on the country in which it is used. An example is the word, "bloody." This word Is acceptable in the U.S., but cultivated people in England avoid the word, and doctors will substitute the word, "sanguinary," for It. Of the Third Edition, Dr. Byrns states, "This represents a reasonable way to describe the language as it works. Properly used the edition would be of great help to most teachers." Omar Bacon, head librari an of the Public Library of Medford and Jackson County, states, "The Third Edition fills a real need for an up-to- date list of current words in our language and is in keeping with the modern pace of the world. It accepts the- dictate that good usage modifies the language." service and aircraft storage.

The city council received a petition from several home owners along Bessie st. re questing their names be with drawn from a petition for pav ing on Bessie st. from Saling ave. to Jackson st. With the elimination of the names the original petitions failed to represent 50 per cent of the property owners along the project so the matter was dropped. Report Is Read A report from the state spedd control board was read regarding the city council's request relative to reducing the speed limit on the Inter state 5 viaduct through Med ford. The board proposed that the present 70 miles per-hour speed zone be retained. The report stated that the freeway was designed for high speed and reduction of 10 miles per hour in the desig nated speed would not ma terially change any possible hazard.

The housekeeping meas ure is necessary each year since the budgets are com piled 18 months prior to the end of the fiscal year.
