"The methods of the old order are not. as some would have you believe, above the chal lenge of youth.” Hitting again and again at those he said were "united in standing still on the same old spot," he spoke in general terms of a need to improve social conditions, health and security, financial and ec onomic machinery and government. "Let us carry on the good that the past gave us. The best of that good is the spirit of America And the spirit of America is the spirit of enquiry, of readjustments, of improvement, above all a spirit in which youth can find the fulfillment of its ideals "The rules that govern the relationship between an employer and an employe in the blacksmith's shop ixi the days of Washington,” he said, "cannot of necessity, govern the relationship between the 50,000 employes of a great corporation and the in finitely complex and diffused ownership of the corporation."

The Federal government offers to provide 55 per cent of the total cost, which is eighty thous and' dollars. The cost to the city woud be fourty- four thousand dolars. There should be no question as to the results of the election to vdte bonds for this much needed civic improvement. The present system is archaic and inadequate. The septic tanks are old and would soon need replacement. There may be still other improvements that Ashland needs. The writer is not yet familiar enough with the situation to judge. But if there are. they should be put across as rapidly as possible. Cities can’t stand still. They either go forward or back ward. The chamber of commerce of course is the clearing house for all boost activities. But don't leave it all to a few members of that organization. Every civic society in the city should cooperate. The banquet to be held soon by the chamber of commerce is a good move. But why not have a luncheon or dinner meeting once a week? Getting together and briefly discussing topics for the growth and development and improvement of the city would accomplish wonders. Team work is great stuff. No city can go ahead without cooperation among its citizens. Getting to gether often would help to promote better team work. ----------------------- •----------------------- President Raps “Tories” President Roosevelt found time a few days ago to deal out a few sharp raps at what he termed • Mr. and Mrs. J.

With beauti ful Diamond Lake nearby to fur nish fishing and swimming and with vast old Mt. Bailey and slen der Mt. Thielsen to climb, the men have anything but dull week ends. Horseback riding has a host of followers, with horses being rented at the Lodge. So popular is riding becoming that Capt. Murray is or ganizing a riding class to teach the boys some of the finer points of the equestrian art. The management of Diamond Ijike Lodge permits enrollees from the camp to use their tennis court at any time, and several men take advantage of their generosity. Horseshoes, too, is a great pastime in camp, and a big tournament is just being completed. A newly laid out Volleyball Court is also getting more than its share of attention. In addition to all the sports fa cilities in and around camp, a re creation trip is sponsored each week to either a nearby city or some natural beauty spot. To date, recreation trips have been made to Medford, Crater Lake, Lemolo Falls, Klamath Falls and Crater Lake again, in the order named.
