will be open from 2 to 5 p.m.,
Thursday, Dec. 12, according to
the Jackson County Tuberculosis
and Health Association, which
sponsors the clinic. The chest
x-ray committee of the associa
tion has noted that all persons
should have a TB checkup each
year as part of an annual physi
cal examination, ami mat uus
consists of a tuberculin skin

Hearing on Use of
Plant Continued
A public hearing on a condi
tional use permit for the sand
and gravel operation of Medford
Concrete Construction Division
of Concrete-Steel Corporation in
the permanently zoned Norm
Central Point area was con
tinued yesterday afternoon in
the Jackson County courthouse.
The Jackson County Planning
Commission's adjustment board
meanwhile will study the possi
bility of setting conditions under
which the company could oper
ate in the area. This might in
clude hours of operation.
The company plans to expand
its plant in the area and bring
in some new equipment. The
expansion would put it in viola
tion of the zoning ordinance.
The ordinance permits the
plants existence in the area
since the plant was established
before the ordinance became
effective. However, it cannot
expand its operation without a
permit from the planning com
mission, according to the or
dinance. Area residents who appeared
objected chiefly to the night op
eration of the sand and gravel
plant and resulting noise. Com'
nanv officials said the more
modern equipment would make
it possible to operate more
quietly and perhaps they
planned to eliminate the night
shut.
County Planners
To Hold Hearing
A public hearing on the ap
peal of a variance request of
Howard Pruitt Livestock haul
ing in the North Central Point
zoned area will be held at 7:30
o'clock tonight by the Jackson
County Planning Commission.
The request to operate the
livestock hauling business in the
area had been denied earlier Dy
the commission.
In other business three pre
liminary plats (or subdivisions,
including the Scenic Hills Me
morial Park southeast of Ash
land, will be presented by the
subdivision committee.
A report is expected on a con
ditional use permit requested
by Dave Bechtal for the con
struction of a cold storage plant
and produce warehouse in the
Warner Creek interim zoned
area near Foss Road and Walcn
Lane.

, Traces Development
Hassell traced the develop-1
ment of his logging equipment
business from its inception in
1955 when he designed a me
chanical locking device to use
on stakes for logging trucks.
Due to California regulations,
Hassell experimented until he
succeeded in a unit to with
stand 20,000 pounds pressure.
With the exception of a gen
eral slump in 1958 the business
has grown steadily until it is
now the largest such manufac
turing plant west of the Missis
sippi River. This year the Has
sell company has sold 1,205 units
and a total of 6,000 bunks since
it began.
"An important part of our
business is the development of
friendships between employers
and employes," declared the
speaker. "That is one of the
advantages of working in a
small company and a small
community."
Ships Fence Material
In connection with the me
chanical log bunk stakes, a
brother, Collins Hassell, is man
ufacturing "Ranch Rounds" and
has already shipped out several
carloads of the fence materials.
The Hassell Inc. industries on
the Dead Indian Road have
grown to include allied products
and employ year-round help.
