Ninety picked swimmers from
the Medford and Vancouver Bar-

the American Red Cross. The men

the CCC enrollees there.
Elmer liolstrom, Red Cross rep

the school. Jean Eberhart, new

both life saving examiners, have
been assisting in the work.

will start at 7:30 o'clock and the

Two representatives from each
camp hi the two districts have
been here for the school. The
mornings have been spent at the
Twin Plunges in swimming and
life saving practice, while the
afternoon classes have been held
at the Headquarters Detachment
at the fairgrounds in Medford. The
swimming and diving teams have
been working out all week in an
ticipation of the carnival, .Saturday
night, and an unusually thrilling
series of races is promised.
Major George R. Owens, com
mander of the Medford CCC dis
trict, and his staff of officers will
be here for the carnival Saturday
night. The CCC party plans to re
main for the dance at the Twin
Plunges Saturday evening.

Main St. May Be
Widened At Plaza
Says Applewhite
There is a possibility that the
treacherous curve In Main street
at the Plaza will be to an extent
eliminated by the razing of the
comer structure of the east side
of the street, permitting the wid
ening of the street at that point,
according to Guy Applewhite,
Councilman.
Prior to requesting a survey
made by the city engineer to as
certain the best means of elim
inating the hazard, Applewhite is
figuring to see whether the work
could be done under federal works
appropriation or through city
funds.
ANNIE SPRINGS
NINE WILL PLAY
HERE SUNDAY
Bob "Crooked Arm” Hardy,
Ashland's promising young south
paw hurler just out of high school
will be on the mound next Sunday
when the Lithians meet the pow
erful Annie Springs CCC team on
the local high school field.
That was the word given out by
Manager Cliff Mcl^ean last night
and will be the first start for the
gangling lefthander since his great
5-3, 10-inning victory over Grants
Bass in an exhibition game almost
a month ago.
Bringing to Ashland a team that
has lost but one game this year
and one that has taken its last 10
straight games. Annie Springs will
provide plenty of competition for
Hardy and the Lithians. The team
is composed of players from east
ern states and will have Hogan,
who worked three games for
Grants Pass, in the box.
With Hardy on the pitching
rubber, Manager McLean will
probably play third base and shift
Kannasto to the outfield. Billy Cal
vert will catch, Carl Harris will
be on first, Billy Hulen on second,
Parker Hess at short, and Arnold
Gosnell, Joe McFarland or Leon

Parallel Parking BEAVER BUILDING TO BE RAZED
Definitely Set for BY AUG. 13; INSTALL SUPER PLANT
City’s Motorists Built in 1911, Historic Structure Will Be Torn Down
Parallel parking, a subject which
has aroused much controversy
among the citizens of Ashland
these past few days, wax defin
itely scheduled to be put into im
mediate usage by the city council
by unanimous vote at a special
meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Metal markers placed dlagon-
ally in the street to mark off the
diagonal parking zones will have
to be removed, Yellow stripes
parallel with the curb and eight
feet out will mark the outside
parking zone. This eight feet strip
will give the motorist a foot lee
way on each side of his car. No
cross strips, forming stalls for the
automobiles will be used.
According to Chief of Police,
Charles Talent, there will probably
be cross walks placed between
corner of Pioneer and Main and
First and Second streets. This will
give shoppers added safety zones
for crossing Main street.
Chief Talent said that some of
the residents were anticipating
trouble parking paralell. He stated
further that during the fourth of
July, parallel parking was enfored,
and with some 4000 persons in
town, not one complaint was made.
A pamphlet relative to parallel
parking has been printed for in
struction of motorists in parking.
This can be obtained by calling
either at the police station or at
the chamber of commerce building.
The new city law regarding par
allel parking reads: "The operator
of a vehicle shall not Btop, stand,
or park such vehicle in a roadway
or street, other than parallel with
the edge of the roadway or curb,
headed in the direction of traffic
and with the curb-side wheels of
the vehicle within one foot from
the edge of the curb.
"Exceptions to parallel parking
are made for parking on those
blocks of First and Second streets
which lie above Main street and
below Hargadine street. These
blocks shall continue to be dia-
gonal. Double parking for a period
of five minutes is permitted; also
permission given to trucks to back
into the curb to unload merchan
dise. Trucks, however, must carry
permits issued by chief of police,
Charles Talent.”
The adoption of the new ruling
is to give added, driving room in
Main street. With cars and trucks
parking diagonally, some of them
protruding nearly to the half way
line, traffic was slowed and driving
danger increased. Parallel parking
will give nearly three lane driving.
PEGGY HEEDER IS HURT
Miss Peggy Reeder, Ashland,
was slightly injured Friday after
noon when the car she was driving
collided with one being driven by
Chet Brown, also of this city at
the intersection of Second and B
streets. No blame was fixed by
either party, both assuming their
own responsibility. The machines
suffered no serious damage.

♦---------- ---------------------------
The old Beaver and Schuerman
buildings at First and Main streets
a landmark for southern Ore
gon residents for the past 24 year*
is scheduled to be razed August
13, to permit the erection of a
$14,000 Standard super station.
Work will be started, probably
Monday, according to J. J. Deakin
realtor who is handling negotia
tions between Citizen’s bank,
Schuerman’s and the Standard
Stations, incorporated.
Schuerman’s grocery, located
for the past 12 years in the north
portion of the building, have
cleared their old location and
moved to what was formerly El-
hart’s music store. Deakin has re
moved his office furnishings but
will not definitely assume a new
location for about 30 days. Mrs
M. M. Decker, proprietor of the
Art shop, will have vacated her
store by noon today, and is moving
next to the new Schuerman store
The structure, originally built
by A. M. Beaver for a realty of
fice, was for years used for that
purpose by the builder. The upper
portion was used by Dr. F. Wal
lace, now of Medford. Miss Emo
gene Wallace later used a part of
the second floor for a music hall.
Later the place was turned over
to the present tenants.
Deakin stated that approximate
ly eight men will be employed full
time in razing the building. Others
may be put to work to speed up
the proceedings.
The old building must be razed
to sidewalk level by August 13 in I
order to insure ample time for
Standard Station to erect a new
unit before too late in the season.
The erection of this new station
will make the 22nd station between
the north overhead crossing and
the south overhead crossing in
Ashland.
Union Oil station at the corner
of First and Main streets is under
going processes of renovation. The
station ano tanks all were moved
about seven feet toward First
street to permit erection of a new
lubrication shed. The installation
of a huge lift, the largest in town,
is part of the new setup. The esti
mated cost of the improvement in
'
yard and station is $6000.
3-GAME SERIES
TO SETTLE TIE
Klamath Falls and Grants Pass
will play the first of their three-
game series for the 1935 Southern
Oregon league championship next
Sunday at Klamath Falls. Second
game will be at Grants Pass Aug
ust 4 and the third battle, in case
one is necessary, will be held at
the city drawing the largest crowd
in the previous games.
Frankie Earhart will pitch for
Grants Pass and Clyde Carlstrom
for Klamath Falls.

Boy’s Dream Is
Shattered: Bike

A boy's dream was shattered.
Carl^^^^^B

Harris, 15 | year old
son of
Frank Harris, a four week resi
dent of Ashland, coming here from
Juneau, Alaska, had purchased a
brand spankin' new bike, black
trimmed with white with glisten
ing chromium plated handlebars
and fenders on Tuesday. Wednes
day July 24 the youth was headed
down town on "his" bike. At the
intersection of tnird and Main
streets, Carl Sugg, driving a
heavy truck attempted to turn
left from Main street down Third.
The boy, probably not yet fully
accustomed to handling his wheel,
attempted to dodge. The upshot
was, the truck struck the bicycle
and threw the boy into the clear.
Reports from the hospital show
that the boy suffered friction
burns on both legs an darms,
bruises on face and limbs and a
mild concussion.
But the bike is ruined. The truck
passed completely over the cycle
crushing both wheels and bending
the frame.
However, insurance probably
will cover damages.
No action has been taken by
police toward fixing blame.
