Hubert Bentley Wins Southern Oregon Cup HIGH SCHOOLS GIRD FOR SKED Number 45 COUNCIL OKAYS POLICE DRIVE ON TRAFFIC ABUSES IC'ITH the exception of Ralph E Koozer, Ashland city council men Tuesday night enthusiastical ly voted to support the traffic regulation program put into effect that day by Chief of Police C. P. Talent. Talent not only offered a plan whereby congested traffic could be relieved but also pointed out in a letter the way in which revenue derived from extra duties now handled by the police force would pay wages of an extra part-time ' patrolman and leave a profit for 1 the city. Koozer was as definite In his objection as others were Ln their assent when Councilman H. 8 , (Bob) Ingle moved to okay Tal ent’s request Koozer put forth a i claim that the new system would be an unnecessary increase in po lice force to accomplish an ob jective which could be reached by a catch-as-catch-can drive to cor rect parking and traffic abuses. As an alternative, Koozer prof- I ferred suggestions for certain measures which resembled Talent’s ' plan so closely that other mem bers of the council called his at tention to the fact that his ideas were sound but rather belated, having already been put in force. An example of the fairness with which other city dads greeted the plan was shown in the whole hearted backing of Dr. W. E. Blake who, although ticketed in the first day’s drive for a parking violation, not only realized im portance of enforcement but also advocated more stringent parking rules at the plaza. Among other business heard at the meeting was a report by Area Supervisor F. E. Thompson, WPA. who itemized various expenditures totaling $40.383 put forth for WPA labor on Ashland projects during past two years and also told the council that relief rolls had de creased last winter to a point 50 per cent under figures for 1935-36. Although the city dads favored the idea, they decided to refer to the coming budget committee a plan drawn for landscaping the hospital grounds. It was stated that the norma] school property adjoining to the east would be landscaped this winter, and that improvement of the hospital grounds would enhance the city’s south entrance by presenting an unbroken front of lawn and shrub bery*. Funds for the work—esti mated to cost more than $2,000— are not available in the present budget but a 1938 appropriation may be sought. Following is Chief Talent's let- (Continued on page 6) • THREE CHEERS, AT LEAST! When football raises its lusty shout There’s something stirs in my red corpuscles! It’s mighty close to my heart, no doubt, And I feel a flexing of my muscles! For I can recall when the score was tied, With a minute to go till the final gun! And our team laid out like they had died, And the coach would ask, “Are you ready, son?” The sidelines then could hardly hold me! I’d strain at the leash with fierce delight— But I’d have to wait until he’d told me, “You’ve got the stuff to make ’em fight!” Yep—when everything else would seem to fail The coach would nod to me and say, “Now, don’t tip over that water pail; We’re depending on you in there today!
