MEMBER OF OKH.ON NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. TRACK DISCARDED The Illinois Valley High School squeezed out a victory in a triangular meet on the Grants Pass High School track Saturday. Normally such a win would not be considered any great feat except when one realizes that the home squad has no track on which to train. This condition is not expected to change in the near future. We feel it is unfortunate that the school hoard did not see fit to apportion sufficient funds to en circle the football field with a 440- yard track before the turfing was to be completed this summer. Track as a high school sport should be encouraged as a means of physical development of the individ ual athlete The board could have obtained < nough more property at a small ad ditional cost to have completed the field properly. Many years will un doubtedly pass before further at tention is given the IVHS athletic field. In the meantime local meets can not be held, and the track squad is at a training disadvantage. A VOTE FOR THE COUNTY The Illinois Valley has entered a queen candidate this year in the Grants Pass Caveman queen contest which ends May 10. Miss Bryant not only represents the feminine beauty of the Valley, but her entrance into the race by the Lions Club demonstrates the Valley’s desire to back an organization whose activities benefit Josephine County as a whole. Receipts from the queen contest are not being fed into Grants Pass to merely further the cause of one of its local oganizations. These funds are used to finance many trips and publicity stunts or ganized by this unique group in its effort to put Josephine County and southwest Oregon on the map, giv ing it national prominence. The purchase of tickets to aid Miss Bryant’s candidacy and dance tickets for the benefit dance of Ap ril 26 is a sound investment in effec tive publicity for this area Purchase your t ic k e t s today from Cave Junction businessmen and Lions.
