Some worth-while pro

ask for suggestions from
the people of Ashland and
from the list of the
things suggested they will
select the project which in
their opinion will prove of
most value to the city.
Last year the Legion
post at Albany purchased
a new ambulance for the
city and thereby won a
silver cup for being of
more service to its com
munity than any other
post in the state.
The local post will en
