TllimSUAY. NOVOIUKK 14. 1!M MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON Mewest tCeraunedy Hideaway JMearHunt Club By HELEN THOMAS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - The peaceful hunt country village of Atoka, Va., is about to become an international dateline, thanks to President and Mrs. Kennedy. On nearby Rattlesnake Ridge, the first family has opened the newest presidential hideaway a seven-bedroom stucco, ranch style house. It is 50 miles from the hubbub of Washington but only a hoot and holler from Atoka. Although the house was com pleted last spring, the Kennedys did not occupy it until Oct. 26. In the meantime they rented it first to Washington invest ment broker, A. Dana Hodgdon and his wife, then to Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Armour, wealthy Califormans whose daughter at tends the fashionable Foxcroft school for girls near Middle- burg, Va. The house was built primarl ly as a week end retreat. Atoka's horsey set calls it "Jackie's House" because Mrs. Kennedy drew up the prelimi nary plans and did all the in terior decorating herself. She also helped select the site, which provides a breath-taking view of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Cost Figures Differ The White House originally pegged the cost at $45,000 but the best guess in hunt circles is $100,000. They justify this by pointing to its five bathrooms Amount of Wages Depends on How Much Education How much Is an education worth, financially, to the aver age young man in Medford? ... Does It pay, in the long run, to get more schooling, or is it better to drop out and start working a few years earlier? Answers to these questions are contained in studies and re ports made by the Department of Labor and by other agencies, federal and private. They show that each added year in school results in more income for the! average person throughout his working career. Also, they find, the chances of getting a job and of holding il are much brighter for the high school graduate than for the drop-out. Of Particular Interest The subject is of particular interest at this time because of American Education Week, Nov. 10 to 16. In Medford, based on the amount of schooling the aver age young man is now receiv ing and based upon present in come levels locally, he can ex pect to earn approxi m a t e 1 y $262,000 during his working years, the figures show. This is considerably better than his prospects would have been 15 or 20 years ago, thanks to the rising educational level locally and the higher wage scales. Compares Favorably The amount compares favor ably, also, with lifetime earn ings in the rest of the United States, $248,000. and with t h e $261,000 in the Pacific States. At one time, reports the De partment of Labor, older work ers with little education earned more money than younger ones wnn more education. But now, it finds, the four years needed to get a high school diploma add as much to income as do 20 years of ex perience without a high school education. The Commerce Clearing House estimates that failure to complete high school costs the average man $46,360 during his working career. Average Wages The high school graduate In the United States, it reports, averages $5,567 a year as against $4,618 tor the drop out. Among residents of Medford. the educational level was shown by the last census to be rela tively high and lo be moving higher. The average person locally has been getting 12.1 years of schooling, which is considerably more than was acquired 20 years ago. It compares with 10.6 vears in the United States and 12.0 years in the Pacific Slates. and other appurtenances, such as a private road, stables and a picturesque pond that will be stocked with fish. Architect Keith Williams of Winchester, Va., and Paul Fout, t h e Kennedy's Middleburg friend and agent, evade any questions about the price tag. The living room is the largest of all the rooms. There also is a library where the President can find seclusion to work on of ficial papers. Next to the libra ry is a dining room and a kitch enette breakfast nook. Dominating the house are two back-to - back fireplaces facing the dining room and the library. Mementos Dot House Here and there are exotic mementos of Mrs. Kennedy's world travels, including chairs from India, carved elephants from Pakisan, and elaborate Persian prints. The house stands on a 39-acre tract, steeped in Civil War his tory, that once was part of the vast Virginia estate of Herbert Phipps, millionaire newspaper publisher and cattle rancher. The Kennedy land straddles two of the first lady's favorite hunts, the Piedmont and the Orange county, with which the accomplished horsewoman and fox hunting devotee has ridden before. Mrs. Kennedy is not expected to be riding for some time, how ever, until she recuperates com plctlcy from the premature birth last August oi a son who died two days later. The new hideaway is sur rounded by ample fields for easy landings by helicopter the Kennedy's favorite means of travel for short trips. It is se cluded from well - traveled roads and has been wir'.-d for instant communication with the White House. The first family is expected to attend Sunday Mass at the new St. Stephen's Roman Catho lic Church at Middleburg, not far away. Other Retreats Besides the Kennedy family vacation quarters at Hyannis Port, Mass., the President has taken his family to two other country retreats in the past. One was Glen Ora, the 400 acre estate near Middleburg that he rented during the first two years of his presidency. When the Glen Ora lease ex pired, the first family began traveling on weekends to Camp David, the Navy - operated camp in Maryland's Catoctin mountains that former Presi dents Dwight Eisenhower and Franklin D. Roosevelt fre quently enjoyed. Mr. Kennedy grew especially fond of Camp David because of its strict privacy, its swimming pool and other recreational fa cilities, and because it is a quick helicopter hop from the White House. As the family settles down in their new home-away-from-home, Mrs. Kennedy has let it be known she wants one thing understood from the start. She prefers that their new hunt country rambler be known as "Atoka" and not as some already are calling it "Rat tlesnake." The area Is sprinkled with "positively no trespassing" and "keep out" signs. The country road into the estate, link;ng with federal state Highway No. 50, has a green wooden gate end a U.S. Secret Service sentry box. !j Happy as a bird withjfr I vsP VITAMIN D V Jrf..
