Lessons on the subject of marketing, prepared by Dr. Hector Macpherson of Oregon Ag ricultural college, were studied for some months before the contest by 10,01)0 members of the boys’ and girls' clubs. Parents of the ¿lub members have reported that they have In formed themselves on the subject by studying the lessons, algp.

The natural presumption is that the fall in Crater national park was very heavy. • Quite a number of Ashland and Medford groups of people started out early Sunday morning to mo tor to Crater Lake.

Enroute they encountered rain all the way un til Evergreen ranch was reaohed in the Prospect district, and from there on motored through a heavy snow storm until Union creek was reached where the heavy snow on the ground prevented further motoring. Most of the outdoors enthus- ists ate their lunches at Union creek, played with the snow for a while und proceeded on their journey haiqe. i However, aeumber of the more ardent enthusiasts put on their sklis and enjoyed some • great sport in going through the snow by that means towards Crater National park. At Union creek Mrs. Beckelhelmer served meals to those who had come without lunches. So far as It could be learned here up to this’ noon there was but little if any snow on the high way up in the Slsklyous; at least north bound tourists stopping here this forenoon made no com ment on snow there, and it Is known that there was just enough to cover the highway Sunday afternoon. There has not been enough snow on the highway up in the Slsklyous so far this sea son for use to be made of the snow plow, a feature at variance with winters of previous /ears up to this time of year.

IS COMING Cecil Alfred Johnson is Claimed as Average American Fitting All Requirements Delegates to Convention Here Today Speak at Forum Luncheon By ROY J. OIBBONS NEA Service Writer . WHITEHALL. Ind.. Jan. 19 —At last— that Average Amer ican Citizen you have heard so much about has been found. He lives In this remote vil lage of 50 Inhabitants, eight pities from a railroad line. He pays F3 a month rent for his home. He Is married and has four children. He believes in God and says this country is the best In the world. His name Is Cecil Alfred John son. Besides being the closest resident to the national center of population, Johnson quali fies closely to all the char acteristics the U. S. Census Bu reau says the Average American Citlsen must have. The center of population of the United States is a big tree 1.9 miles west of Whitehall. Mathematicians have figured It out to a hair's breadth. It shifts from year to year. John son lives little more than a mile from the exact center. The Average American should earn $2150, Johnson earns “We might as well realize right now, that we In Sontkern Oregon are- a separate scenic unit, and that we are not going to get a great deal of aid from other sections of the state in exploiting our resources. Ore gon“ has many scenic units, and each must work for itself before It can work for others, and have others work for It,” said Colonel C. O. Thomson, superintendent of Crater Lake National Park: at the chamber of commerce Forum luncheon today. Thomson declared that as yst there is no organized effort on the part of Southern Oregon to help Itself, bnt that he hoped . * that before long, such action would he taken. Herbert Cuthbert, manager of the publicity department Of the Portland chamber of com merce, gave a brief outline of the work to be dons In adver tising the entire Pacific Coast. He declared that the various organisations of the coast had organised, with the Idea of ad vertising in the east, showing that one state had fewer assets than three states, and coaid therefore advertise them to bet ter advantage to attract the tooriat. '»■ • ■ A resume of the work already completed, and the work which is expected to be completed In the near future, at the Oregon Caves, was given by George Sabin, manager of the Oregon Caves Resort. Among other improvements. Sabin said ft -was believed that before long the Caves would be lighted by electricity, and that pipe lines would he run Into the caves, In order that the walls might be washed down and the trails cleaned of aC mud and drrt. The annual report of the Park Commission was made by W. H. McNair, secretary or the board: Delegates to the convention of resort owners and managers, and of others interested In the boosting of tourist travel through Southern Oregon, were welcomed to the meeting by Mayor O. H. Johnson, who was toastmaster at the meeting. The Average American should be about 28 years old and weigh J48 1-1 pounds. His complexion should be “Interme diate.” He should be a me chanic. Johnson Is 28 and has four children Instead of the required three, but the rest of the data fits him like a glove. Even his complexion and that of his wife fit the census requirements ex actly. Mrs. Average American Is sup posed to be a few months un der 25. Mrs. Johnson Is 25. Her height, weight and com plexion are almost Identical with those arrived at by the census bureau—statistics that were ar rived at after examination of 2,000 subjects whose forefathers had been Americans for three generations. * Farming ranks second to me chanical trades in the bureau's list of gainful occupations. Johnson has been a farmer, too. and right now occasionally, pitches In when a neighbor needs a hand. The chief aim of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Is to rear their children to useful citizenship.

That they won from the Merrill high quintet, 52-5, means little. In fact, had the Merrill tosaers been able to locate the basket, they would have given the locals a real run for their money, and probably would have finished In front. They averaged nearly two shots to the. Ashland outfits one, but the local tosaers were more lucky In dumping in the markers.
