Voters Approve GP Annexation GRANTS PASS-Residents of a 156-acre area north of the present city limits went to the polls Friday and voted four to one for annexation to the city of Grants Pass. This will mark the largest land area to be annexed to the city in recent years but its popu lation, approximately 200, is relatively low. Lack of city wa ter and sewer system is said to have held back development, which is now expected to go ahead. The annexation includes land on both sides of the North Sixth and Seventh Streets one-way traffic couplet leading to Inter state 5 freeway. II is bounded by Midland Ave. on the south, the freeway on the north, Cave man Industrial Park on the west and Ninth Street on the east.

The Talent rural district was formed about one year ago. unaer tne mutual aid agree ment, the various (ire depart ments of the valley agree to come to each other's aid should the necessity arise. Regional Roundup by Cleva Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor Genevieve Briggs, our roving Wilderville correspondent, and a chain smoker until a few days ago, attended one of the recent Seventh-Day Adventist Church sponsored stop smoking clinics, the one held at Grants Pass. She is now going through her first week without a cigarette in 37 years. Here's her report on how she became involved in this predica ment: "The recent stop smoking clinic held at the fairgrounds com munity center was one of the nicest things to happen to Grants Pass in a long time. The clinic, under the direction of the Rev. Wilton P. Lockwood and Charles Plumb, M.D., formerly of Chico, California, and with 40 years of medical practice, was outstanding in presenting scientific facts about cigarettes and cancer. In one of the factual films shown was the presence of a very real lung complete with its white octopus-like cancer for all to see. "If you believe that the cigarette smoking habit is easily broken, you had better take another guess. Was it Sir Winston Churchill who said willpower is the quality that every man or woman possesses until the day he or she decides to give up smoking? Doctor Plumb pointed out the singularity in the mole cules of morphine and nicotine. " 'Stop, Think and Choose to Quit' was the topic of the lec ture, and it does make one stop and think. As a chain smoker I should know how hard it is to quit. Like the 30 other smokers present I am a chain smoker and smoke two packs of cigarettes p. day under ordinary circumstances, and under stress usually more. One point made in this program was that you were not made to feel like a criminal it you continued to smoke. You chose to attend the meetings. You chose to quit smoking, for after all it was your habit and no one else could do anything about it but you. "Some of the advice offered included this: during the time you are trying to stop smoking, stay away from coffee, tea, alcohol and spices. All smokers know just how a cigarette and a cup of coffee go together like ham and eggs. "One little book passed out was "Smoke Signals," in which many questions were answered about why the true facts con cerning the connection between lung cancer and cigarettes are being withheld. One such reason, according to the booklet, was that 17,000 per day is a lot of taxes to turn down. "The films shown at the clinic are free to anyone, and PTA groups have priority on them. Further information may be ob tained by contacting the Oregon Conference SDA, 605 SE 39th Ave., Portland 14, Oregon." Our solution to the problem mentioned in the next to the last paragraph above is simple. Repeal cigarette taxes, and tax life savers and chewing gum instead. We used large quantities of them for about a month one time in San Francisco during early 1959 when we grappled with the habit, after six years of it, sur vived the withdrawal symptoms and won. But if you conclude that we are opposed to cigarette smok ing, guess again. We still enjoy the tobacco aroma. We've gotten along without a smoke for almost five years now, however, and haven't come across any good ro:,0r, to do otherwise.

Regional News ing last October, and no major layoffs occurred during tho month. A shift of workers from saw mill to plywood employment over the last ten years, said Slifflcr, has significantly con tributed to the apparent stabil ization of local employment. Since 1953, employment in the local plywood industry has climbed from 340 workers to 1,125 workers, he said. Over the same period local sawmill workors decreased from about 1,200 down to 550. "Ten years ago smaller saw mills were often forced to shut down during adverse weather or due to poor market conditions, and employment fluctuated from season to season," said Stiffler. "Now the bulk of our employ ment is with larger employers who do not shut down as readily. Therefore, local employment has become more stable. This, of course, affects employment with the area's supportive in dustries also." Stiffler said unemployment claims during the week ending October 24 represented 5.9 per cent of Josephine County's em ployment, compared with 8.7 per cent for the corresponding period last year. Nearly half the present claims load, he said, is attributable to claimants from out of state.
