(UPI) Council on Aging Seeks Aid in More Space for Group A request for aid in provid ing a more spacious activity center for the Rogue Valley Council on Aging was present ed to the Medford park and recreation commission by Russ Jamison, council president, at the Wednesday night meeting. Jamison pointed out that there are now 500 registered users of the center who are over 65 years of age. Because of the growth in membership and in projects, the center has become badly crowded, he said, and the scope of the program will be limited in the future if larger quarters are not made avail able. The members find it necessary to work in units now and one unit at a time. The commission members agreed that the Council on Aging is badly in need of larger quarters and promised to help solve the problem but took no definite action. The present center, located on Hawthorne and Jackson sts., is a city-owned building, which has been rented by the council. Representing Rotary, Jami son thanked the park and rec reation commission for the work done on the baseball program and reported on the presentation of awards to the players and the luncheon giv en by the Rotary club, honor ing the players. Andy Kumas, manager of the Cherry Lane Park golf course, and Bill Mitchell, the golf professional, reported to the commission on progress of lessons offered to children and adult beginners in golf. They thanked the commission for the cooperation given this program which they described as "very successful." SAVE 0! We've got too many new mobile homes on our lot so we're doing something about it.
