"Ashland in the past has been widely known for her July cele brations, but during the past few years has permitted interest and activity in this direction to lag,” said Bowmer. "Inasmuch as I ‘ have been considering preparation of a Shakespearian festival this sum mer, the thought occurred that this could be incorporated into a Fourth of July celebration. It is not too soon for Active club mem bers, anl other civic minded Ash landers to start laying founda tion for such an event, if it is at tempted this year.” Another speaker addressing the Active membership was Louis Dodge, city park superintendent, who told of his recent tour of Pa cific coast parks, and of a con versation with John McClaren, San Francisco, who designed both the Lithia park here and Golden - Gate park in 'Frisco. McClaren, jeording to Dodge, declared the lAahland park the most beautiful he has seen in travels over the en tire world.

Meddlin again to Federal Judge McNary Monday when he sustained demur rers to the $39,500 damage action filed by Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin against Mrs. Blanche Virgin, op erator of radio station KMED. Judge McNary's action placed the proverbial skids under the form er "Good Government” congress’ suit for damages allegedly sus tained when Mrs. Virgin refused her time on the air Christmas day. The suit, filed some time ago in Portland by Mrs. Martin, elic ited comment in some quarters and was accepted as a gesture of renewed hostility along the "good government” front. Attor neys Evan Reames and H. K. Hanna represented the defendant in Portland. ------------- •------------- As to common sense, it doesn’t seem nowadays to be quite so com- ' > mon.—Weston Leader.

Washington Program Over KMED Is Liked The George Washington broad cast made by the American Le gion and Ladies’ Auxiliary last Friday over KMED, Medford, was well recorded and greatly enjoyed by the radio audience of this com munity. The instruments of the small orchestra, consisting of two vio lins played by* the Misses Alice Coggins and Mary Louise Rober son. flute 'by Mrs. Bertha Den ton, and cello by Chester Woods, were blended in a pleasing ensem ble as they played the opening and closing number, "Trees,” with Mrs. Fred Schuerman, soprano. The orchestration for this selec tion had been written by Frieda Ernestine Hartley, pianist and music chairman. Other numbers were selections sung by the Ladies' Auxiliary quartet, the Mesdames Edna Smith. Lew Hansen, Nell Dunn, and Jean Beyers; two cello solos by Chester Woods, and a reading in honor of George Washington by Post Commander Oscar Silver. The next program to be broad casted will occur during National Music Week, from the 1st to the 5th of May. ------------- •------------- TEARS FOR CITY WATER IS PAY OFFERED BY 4 Four out of 11 men against whom warrants had been issued for turning on city water without authority were in police court Tuesday afternoon. The water had been turned off on three of them because of large delinquent water bills. The fourth, a recent arrival, was said to have turned on his water without the formality of ap plying to the city. All admitted guilt but pled jus tification. One declared that the city insisted on inside toilets and that he should appeal to the board of health to compel the city to furnish water. He, by the way, owns an acre tract. Another said his children were crying for water. He said he did not care for himself, he could drink something else, but his chil dren had to have water. He did not say what he would drink that was cheaper than water or how he would pay for it. He admitted hav ing an auto and said his wife paid for the license. All said they were on relief, and one declared that if they turned the water off he would turn it on again. Practically all declared that if they were sent to jail the city would have to care for their fam ilies. Judge Fuller took the cases under advisement until the other 11 defendants could be brought into court. City Superintendent Elmer Bie- gel told a Miner reporter that over $4000 in delinquent water rental is on the books; that if the city is to meet interest and principal on its water bonds it must collect this money. One man, against whom a war rant had been issued, was in the office when the reporter was there and declared that the city might better give citizens free light than to give the juice back to Copco. Mr. Biegel stated that the city gave no juice back to Copco; that there is no stand-by charge and no minimum. The city pays the company for what it uses and no more. If the city gives it to citi zens it must pay for it He told the reporter that Copco at present furnished about one-third the juice Ashland is using and the city manufactured two-thirds. A smile went round the court room Tuesday when someone asked how many of the delin quents had dogs. None admitted it and none denied having canines. The cases are the outcome of a long attempt to be lenient with water users and at the same time keep the city water department afloat without raising rates to those who do pay. Mr. Biegel states that the city some years ago attempted to help poor water users by permitting them to work out the delinquent water rent and that the result was a failure. Parties deliberately and unnecessarily let water rents be come delinquent and thus built up the large amount due. Many of those working out water rents, while on the job, were not willing to do a fair day’s work. ------------- •------------- Beaver Creek Teacher Sustains Arm Injuries Miss Lucille Reeder. Ashland resident who is teaching at the Beaver creek school on Applegate, sustained minor injuries to her arm Sunday evening when a car in which she was riding, driven by Stanley Raimer of the Star ranger station, overturned near Beaver creek. Being unable to stop on the narrow grade at the approach of another car, the driv er turned his car into the bank to avoid a collision, which resulted in the upset. Mr. Raimer was un injured, although his car was com pletely wrecked. ------------- e------------- In the process of evolution It may be that politicians will re- vert to all fours because of keep- ing their ears to the ground— Seventy-one years of age, and Weston Leader. still chipper enough to show these ♦--------------- young printers devils how to jug gle a type case in one hand and feed a press with the other, B.
