Jacksonville Girl A. Throckmortons in Jubilee Pageant Cast of .500 People Observe 60th Year As Married Couple All parts of Oregon will be rep resented by actors from the Southern Oregon Normal school at Ashland in taking part in the historical pageant "Oyer-un-Gon" (Land of Plenty) to be presented during Oregon's Diamond Jubilee celebration in Medford next June 3 to 9, observing 75 years of statehood. Mias Lula Metzger of Jackson ville is included in the cast of over 500 people, who have al ready begun rehearsals. Actors were a«*lected by Prof. Angus Bowmer, director and author, on the basis of histrionic ability. The pageant will faithfully de pict the progress of Oregon his tory. reviewing events which led up to and included the establish ment of Oregon stateh«xxi. It is historically accurate in every de tail but yet so interestingly pre sented it commands attention from the opening to closing episodes. Music will be furnished by a 50- piece string orchestra. Loud speaking ««quipment will enable all to fully understand the progress of the production further enhanc ed by unusual lighting effects. By C. M. Payne Ladies Plan Quilt Display for Jubilee Members of the Indies Aid of the Jacksonville Presbyterian church will give a display of an cient quilts and other fancy work at the church during the Diamond Jubilee, according to an announce ment made this week by Mrs. Her bert Hanna, president of the group. The display will be open to the public during the hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, June 7. Tea will be served during the afternoon. Many quilts more than 100 years old will be shown in the church building, windows of which were shipped around Cape Horn about 75 years ago, when the structure was built. Once before old quilts were displayed by the Indies Aid and proved one of the most popu lar exhibits ever shown. Ladies having quilts or any fan cy work which would fit into th«> planned exhibit have been asked to communicate with Mrs. Hanna, or to phone her at 152. Number 19 It was an afternoon of uphill work for the Jacksonville Miners last Sunday, and decidedly down hill coasting for the Ashland Eagles when the two teams met on the Lithia city’s airport dia mond, situated on the puzzling slopes of a hill. Final score was a 13-6 defeat of the Jacksonvil- lians, who displayed all manner of ways to thoroughly lose a ball game. The Lithians opened the first inning by scoring four times, on three hits and as many errors, and added five tallies in the fourth to further depress the nugget find ers. The Miners a week before dropped an. 11-12 game to the Lithians on the Jacksonville dia mond. To date the lcx^l nine has won three games—the hardest three and dropped an equal num ber of tilts. The Miners, however, have been working out this week with an eye to playing baseball for a change next Sunday, when Med ford's Gilmore Lions will invade the old mining camp for an aft- ernoon of combat. The game, to be called at 2:30 p. m, should attract a large following of both Medford and local fans, and the Miners promise there will be a display of more moUve and less lethargy. The general alibi for last Sunday's disgrace was that the players stopped at the lithia foun tain and tanked up on Ashland’s alleged mineral water. Or so the story goes. l.ast week-end Coffman and Hess handled mound work for Jacksonville, while Gosnell and Winkle twirled for Ashland, the latter handling the last inning, when Miners staged a would-be rally to add three runs to their meager share.
