The area has grown to ap proximately 250 homes with in a three-quarter mile radius and due to the fact Medford is growing this direction, housing units that are geared to prices people can afford to pay and quality homes are being constructed. Families living in the area wanting service and commod ities within a reasonable dis tance of where they are liv ing, has attributed to the re cent opening of the shopping center. There are now 17 com mercial enterprises, along with a dentist, a post office and a telephone company that are now available. The approximate distance to Medford is eight miles. Families are offered the ad vantages of a swimming pool and approximately eight acres of park facilities and picnic area. Living in the area of em ployment and shopping also tends to reduce the fact that most families are able to have only one automobile, instead of two, which also reduces car traveling and traveling time, thus allowing the non-working hours to other advantages and more leisure time with the family. The industrial volume con sists of approximately 1,000 carloads of merchandise going in and out of the area each month. This helps to develop and generate business. There are seven plywood plants, three lumber sawmills, eight woodworking plants and a Pepsi-cola plant. With industry and business avail able to families this tends to keep the area growing. Tou Velle park and the Rogue river also offer the advantages of swimming and fishing and are only a short distance from the area.
