LITHIANS WILL TRAVEL SUNDAY Looking forward to a tough game. Manager Leonard Hall will take his Lithian nine to Glendale .Sunday when they will meet the veteran but disgruntled loggers in the first of two consecutive games, the second to be played in Ashland the following week-end. Absence of Ted Schopf, short stop who will be In Portland on a wedding trip, will cause some shifting of the lineup for Sun day's encounter Jack Balding, completely recovered from a pitch ed ball knockout received in the Camp Wimer contest last week, probably will start in Schopf's reg ular position, with Darrell Leav ens or Parker Hess at the second sack post Either Patterson or .Jim Riley will be at first, and Chief McLean, versatile Indian slugger, likely will try a new place at third base Al Simpson, one of the league's outstanding catchers, will wear the big mitt and his signals will go to Southpaw Ixiwell Brown In th« box. A last-minute sour not«* was sounded with the injury Thursday morning of Wayne Com- best, relief pitcher. Combest was caught by n pile of fnlling lumber while employed at Coggins' mill and a possible fractured left wrist is to be x-rayed this morning. If no break shows, the young right hander likely will make the trip. Ashland’s pitching department will get a powerful shot in the arm with the return of Bob Hardy from Eugene Saturday. It is be lieved the lanky southpaw will go t«. Glendale with the Lithlans this we«'k-end if he arrives here in time. Should Hardy accompany the squad, Ashland chances for victory Sunday will take a big upward zoom. Hardy being classed as of big league caliber, having tabled several coast league contracts in favor of completion of college studies. Ed Learning, Jim Riley, Hall and Phil Keaton will be on deck for outfield duty. As for Jake Glpe's lineup, It probably will be the same which played Klamath Falls Red Sox for the league pennant last year. Glendale probably will start Carpenter and Plaster facing Ash land’s Drown and Simpson. • LET TALENT CUT-OFF lHD Low bld of $159,771 by Jacob sen-Jensen company of Portland took the contract when bids were opened by the highway commis sion Wednesday night for work in volving rerouting of the Pacific highway for 3.42 miles from Bear creek north of Ashland to a point Just north of Talent The work, which will eliminate Talent from the highway, Includes a concrete bridge, culverts, grading and sur facing.

By LARRY HUNTER Some reading matter which holds no liens On my low-brow taste includes magazines Which feature ads—ornate affairs— Displaying duds for millionaires. Sophisticates, Bermuda tanned, Display loud checks in manner grand, Or a debutante in a Paris bonnet (Like a bird’s nest with a feather on it) Cuts many a fancy-dandy caper Across four-bits worth of shiny paper. Take from me such silly plunder, And give me some real old blood-and- thunder! Number 31 \VITH July 4th only a month ’* away member« of th«“ celebra tion committee from the Chamber of Commerce advertising group met last night at the chamber office but failed to crystallize any definite plans for a fiesta. Originully it had been plan ned to stage an elaborate hol iday here, with athletic con tests, carnival, a parade, hands and other amusements but curtailed financial back ing led to a lessening of en thusiasm. JOHN E. ENDERS, illustrious ” potentate of Hillah temple, who will preside over the spring ceremonial of th«* southern Ore gon temple Saturday, June 5. Th«* conclave will open with a band concert at Medford's city park at 3 p. in., followed by a parade on Medford streets at I p. m. Th«* ceremonial s«*ssions mid traditional banquet will I m * held at the Elks picnic grounds on th«* banks of Rogue river, KI miles from Medford. MOTORISTS IN LICENSE RUSH Refusing to set up for the stip ulated price of $600 offered by H. L. Claycomb as agent for the committee, the Browning Amuse ment company countered with an offer to pay $300 for privilege of showing here June 28 through July 5. A wire was drafted at Thursday night’s meeting accept ing those terms with a rider pre venting any carnival confliction with a tentatively planned wrest ling card promoted by Mack Lil lard for the evening of July 5. I^ist year's card was a successful attraction. It now appears likely that the July 4 affair in Ashland will be i advertised lightly in southern [ Oregon and northern California by I radio and local newspaper, and in- : vitations will be sent to Granges I and other organizations extending I them the city’s hospitality over the holidays and to enjoy picnics in Lithia park, entertainment to include a tentatively planned baseball game, band music, and regular amusement facilities such as resorts, golf and swimming. Members of the committee, after a canvass of business men, re garded the idea of an elaborate parade and municipal fireworks display as being more expensive than practical. Committeemen agreed that the more complete celebration of other years was a splendid step in a program of advertising to make tourists Ashland-conscious, but all seemed unable to offer any con structive idea by which such a project could be carried out under conditions existing this year. Definite assurance of carnival acceptance is expected to be the cue for more detailed plans. Present at the faceting over which Claycomb presided were I>oui8 Dodge, Guy Applewhite, Andy Anderson, Fred Tayler, Chester Corey. Bill Ausland, Clint Baughman and I. C. Erwin. • BUTLER GIVES SCOUTS $100 G. S. Butler, in laying $100 cash "on the barrel-hea«l.” Wednesday assured Ashland Boy Scouts suf ficient funds to carry on 1937-38 program, according to C. P.

All present li censes expire June 30. Applications for licenses now , are being received at the nite of about 1,500 per day and, accord- | ing to offi ,-ials of the operators' ; division, will increase materially I during th< few weeks remaining, j The fee of $ 1 applies to both re newal and original applications. I However, renewals of drivers' li- ! censes may be effected by merely 1 filling in a regular state form and mailing with the proper fee to the secretary of stat«* or given to any of the regular appointed agen cies, whereas, in th«* case of orig inal applications or for those who have reached the age of 70 or for those having a questionable rec ord or who have acquired any physical handicaps during the last registration period are required to complete the examination for drivers. The department has continuous ly emphasized the convenience of applying early for drivers’ licenses or renewals.
