Seventy-six young men, between
the ages of 31 and 28, registered at
the Myrtle Point draft board office
on Tuesday. Chairman Levi Bunch
stated last evening that the list had
not yet been made up for publication.
He also stated that the board had
received instructions not to include
any married men or any over 28 years
of age in the quotas selected for in­
duction into the service.
This will
elimniate 12 of the 23 who had been
notified to appear next Monday and
it also means that many of those regis­
tering Tuesday will be included in the
next call. Serial numbers will be as­
signed them at the board’s next meet­
ing on July 9th.
Dr. and Mn. J. R. Bunch, Phyllis
and Jim, arrived home Tuesday eve­
ning from their swing around the
United States on which they were
gone just a month. They enjoyed the
whole trip immensely and th^ doctor
took 1600 feet of colored motion pic­
ture films of interesting sights and
places. Some of the pictures had to
be taken without the best of light and
he anticipates they will not measure
up to those he took on his last trip.
He also was unable to take sotne
pictures he would have liked, such as
army and navy scenes and other de­
fence locations or maneuvers, Nor
was he able to take them at the
Marine Gardens in Florida where the
picture rights -belong to • film com­

trip it rained, more or less, each day,

Cleveland, Ohio, to Loe Angeles, a

Two bull-dogging cowboys—at least
they were gasbed in rodeo costumes—
were present at the Tuesday noon
Chamber at Commerce luncheon to
tell of last minute changes in the
Myrtle Point 4th of July celebration.
The thing that will interest most
people, Elton Schroeder and Austin
Dodge said, was the fact that the
grandstand and bleachers will be free
to everyone who wishes to witness
the fireworks and other special fea­
tures Friday evening.
It had been
planned to make a small charge for
seats but the prospects now are that
the attendance will be such for the
three days’ celebration that the py-
Win. Daly, of Granta Pass, who built
the loading platform at the railroad
switch near Cedar Point, has sent a
man here to take charge of the chrome
loading there.
Mr. Daly expects to ship a carload
of crome daily to Philadelphia from
Cedar Point, besides the shipments
of chrome ore from Ainess which will
be put on the railroad at Powers.
The ore to be loaded here will come
from 12 miles above Gold Beach on
the Rogue. Barged down. to Gold
Beach it will be loaded in trucks for
transportation to Cedai' Point, He
expected to begin loading his first
car here today.

Officer Keesler, who flared into
action when the promise that he
would be transferred to the Medford
district wax not kept, stated that he
resigned and picketed the focal office
solely in the hope that public senti­
ment might be sufficiently aroused
so that other officers on the force
would get a better deal.
Sergeant Irving Larson, who is in
the charge of this district, did not want
to accept Kessler’s resignation and
believed added patience on Kessler’s
part would bring him desired trans­
fer.
to a
old daughter, Karen, Kessler learned
that a recruit had been cent to Ash­
land within the past ■' week, despite
the fact that headquarters had noti­
fied him that he would receive pre­
ference for transfer to that district
He was further told that headquar­
ters objected to his attempt to force
a transfer and was deliberately keep­
ing him here.

the basis of three cents a pound with
payment made each Monday for the
previous week’s pick.
Those interested can contact the
