Ashland Highway Worker Killed In Collision of Trucks Everett N. Springer, 30, Ash land man, met instant death at 0:20 p in. Monday when he was thrown from his truck under the wheels of another driven by Ivan Williams in a head-on collision on the highway construction project of Jacobsen and Jensen, Portland contractors, three miles north of this city. Trucks operating on the job are driven on wrong traffic lanes so that loaded trucks may use the smoother side and Springer, driv ing an empty, apparently forgot und failed to give right-of-way, causing tin- crash In which tils head was crushed.

J. H. Hardy, I chairman of the citizens' group, held forth hotly that night on the grounds that Ashland's remark ably efficient law officers art grossly underpaid but, lacking pos itive support from his fellow«, re linquished hi« argument in the face of Councilman Ralph Koozer'« vig orous opposition to an increase for one city department and not to others In support of justness of Hardy's stand are figures which «how that the assistant chief of police here receives a salary $.*> ' per month lower than the lowest paid officer on the Medford regu lar force, one member of which was formerly employed here but was released for inefficiency. Fur thermore, the local officers work 10 hours a day and receive but one day off every two weeks as con- tiasted to an eight-hour day. six- dav ”.-vek in Medford. Chief objection to the raise was said to be that the additional ex pense would be too great. How ever, a perusal of actual figures developed that the present police administration has not only im proved routine efficiency but, by taking over extra duties, has in creased the city's revenues from a yearly department income of a few hundred dollars to more than $2,000 annually, making it pos sible for the salary increase to be budgeted and still leave a substan tia) profit over the old regime. If provision for salary raises are disregarded at tomorrow night's meeting and no other ques tions are raised, the tentative fig ures will be approved to make up a budget total of $199,104, which is $48,824 more than estimated revenues of $150,280 for 1938 but $6,321 lower than last year's bud get total. i A farmer takes his shovel And he takes his rake and hoe, And then he works from dawn till dark To make his garden grow. Just a poor benighted farmer! He hopes that he won’t fail, That crops are good and he can dodge The poorhouse or the jail! But not so Mr. Montague He’s much too smart for that! He supplements the working kit With one stout baseball bat. And then he makes the green in three While Crosby shoots a four, And trusts that influence will help Live down the name of Moore. “Who gives a whoop for farmers?” A screwey public hollers But Hollywood gave Montague A cool one million dollars! ‘3 MEN ON HORSE’ PLAYS TO CROWD The first night performance of "Three Men On a Horse" Thurs day at the SONS auditorium greeted a capacity crowd which was generous in its applause at the farcical predicaments encount ered by “Oiwin” (Bill Burk), i placid and agreeable writer of ' greeting card verses who finally kicked over the traces in a home infested by an insufferable broth er-in-law and an extravagant wife to take up residence in a second- rate hotel where he fell in with a group of citizens whose chief aim in life was to accumulate enough "scratch” to be able to wager on the "bangtails.” Under direction of Angus L. Bowmer, the Holm and Abbott smash hit will be presented again at 9 o'clock tonight. Burk is ably supported by Har old Reedy, John Barker and James Parsons as the horse players; Ruth Byerly and Laurel Morris as the wife and brother-in-law; Louise DuBois as the "moll” of one of the gamblers; Mary Lou McKnight as a newspaper woman and Lynn Johnson as a photogra ph •!•; Norman Hamilton as Harry, the barkeep: Clarence Bowman in the role of a colored elevator boy; Roberta Werz, maid; Don Weston, tailor; Kenneth Brown, delivery boy, and John Hakanson as "Oiw- in's" boss. —•------- JUNIORS HONKED 43-0 Letting an earlier victory go to their heads, some of the Ashland Junior high griddera looked on Medford with such disdain that , they failed to practice for last night's game in the Pear City with the result that the Medford juniors piled up six touchdowns, five eon- i versions and one safety to over-1 whelm th« locals 43-0.
