The front of the building is occupied by the weTl- ar ranged lobby and genernl offices, leading to seven finely-equipped of fices In the Fear. These are occupied by the Boggs-Bengtson partnership. A large modern law library and a spacious conference room are in connection. The building is fireproof through out, nnd is finished entirely w ith n very modern decorative sound proof pnnelling In n dull tnn color which blends w ith the wooden pan- tilin g of the lower wall. Altogether the Interior Is In excellent taste with the dignity of the firms which it houses. The personnel of the Building ami Loan association Includes several of the prominent men of Medford.

After spotting the Gilmores three runs in the first frume and another in the third inning, the locnl team came to life and scored two tallies in the second, one in the fourth (a homerun by Gurnian with the bases empty), tied the count in the sixth and shoved four counters over the platter in the seventh to win. Hammersly started on the mound for Gold H ill but was not up to form und was replaced in the sixth with Bailey tuking over the pitch ing duties. The score then stood at four-all. Only six hatters fnced Bailey in the two innings he pitch ed, Gold H ill retiring the Gilmores in one-two-three order.

With sclrwi! beginning in Gold The campaign for lining up con sumers in support of the National Recovery administration—now fa mous us the NBA— is getting under way locally, as a part of the nation wide movement. This is the part of the work that really puts the “claws’* on the t agle and make* it felt among bus iness men who are inclined to be slacker* in this great peace-time movement— the war on the depres sion. If you have not already signed your consumer's card, and received your Consumer's sticker ask the committee in charge for a card, and get hack of the movement at once.

Forty-one are listed on Ihe high school roster, and this w ill be con siderably increased after the fruit harvest. In addition, the Tolo and W illow Springs students who at tended here last year did not enroll the first week due to difficulties in securing transportation. Supt. 1. A. Thomason is working on a plan to organize transportation for these students s* many of them wish to attend here again this year. Under Ihe new school bus law, individual districts sending pupils to other schools must stand the cost of this service, or the individuals must make their own arrangements. It is hoped the plan being considered w ill enable these students to contin ue their work w ork here. The grade school enrollment is hut 157 as compared w ith 190 at the close of Ihe first week of school last year, but it is estimated, ac cording to school census figures, that an average of ten for each room w ill enter later. The grade by grade enrollment comparison is as follows: Grade Last Year This Year First 2« 21 24 Second 23 24 Third 16 Fourth 22 27 23 Fifth 19 18 Sixth 15 27 Seventh 14 Eighth 24 21 SHAPE FINAL FAIR PLANS Displays in C ity H a ll; T w o Dances, Sport« and Sal« mon Bake Featured Final arrangements for tbe Gold H ill fa ir to be held here Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23, are gradually being whipped into shape, and while some local people thought that the idea had been abandoned because they had heard little about it the last week, others have been busy doing things about it, and a successful fair is assured.
