MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1M1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup by Cl.va Twtehall Mail Tribune Rcgianal Iditer Down in Southern California, one of the area's serious prob lems Is the water table. It dropping year after year. That': one of the reasons why the Fea ther River project was pro posed, to meet the growing de mand for water In the South' land. Here in the Rogue Valley, we Walk Installed In Front of Phoenix Church PHOENIX - A sidewalk has been laid in front of the Pres byterian Church in Phoenix. The work is a memorial to Mrs. Enid Caster, a long time resident of Phoenix, who was a member of the church. Mrs. Caster left a gift of money to the church to be used for the project. Church members and other community residents .donated the remaining amount of money needed and also the labor for laying the sidewalk. The Rev. William A. Salidan, minister of the church, e pressed thanks to all who helped. ' . i Police Announcement PHOENIX Chief of Police John Atchison of Phoenix an nounced today that anyone parking their car on the wrong side of any street in tne city will be cited. Parking on the wrong side of a street can cause serious ac cidents, especialy during the fog season ahead, the chief explained. The regulation will be en forced not only on the main streets but also on every other street in the city, he said. Christmas Project . PHOENIX - This city will again have a community Christ mas tree this year, through the efforts of the auxiliary of the Phoenix Volunteer Fire Depart ment. ' Everyone will be welcome to use the tree for care singing or other Christmas events, it was reported: ' Women of the auxiliary will raise funds for the project by holding a baked food sale at Oscar's Market, Main and hec ond Streets Saturday: The sale will start at 9 a.m. are fa -"d with a somewhat dif ferent problem: The water table Is too high in many parts of the area. According to a recent story in the Grants Pass Courier, , the high water table is providing quite a headache for health aut' rities in Josephine Coun ty, because it is so close to the surface of the grouna o we valley floor that it is interfering with septic tank draining sys tem. ... We suspect that a similar problem exists in some parts of Jackson County, especially dur ing rainy season. We got a lit tle firsthand observation of the problem Saturday morning. when spent several hours touring th grounds of our little acre in the country with repre sentatives of local sanitation firms seeking clues as to the ail ments of our malfunctioning drainage system. As one of the visitors stuck a pole into the ground here and there, be fre quently found water about a foot or two beneath the surface. One of the causes of the "high" water table around here is the existence of a hardpan layer a few feet under the ground. The water collects on top of it. We wer chattaic with ; George Runyan of (he Jaefcsca County Health Departmrot about this situation, and a re marked that there are soot areas where you can pot a shovel into the ground and Bare yourself a well if eofjr the water were fit to drmk. The high water table problem is nothing new, however, be a- dicated. It's probably been around as long as this valley has. Sharp-Eyed Correspondents The Mail Tribune recently is sued a new stylebook in con nection with the changeover to the perforated tape system of type setting here. We sent each of the regional correspondents a copy, but are finding that mr-y of them have sharper eyes than we. iney Keep calling up and correcting misusages of which we have been guilty. Bertha Hanscom, our Phoenix corres pondent, really studied the style book. She discerned a bit of wishful thinking on the part of us autnor, Listed as an example of correct uses of the hyphen was -uie woot, 5-inch blonde with brown eyes."
