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

and Lions.
