Activities Outlined
October 1, 1936, the present
management of the Ashland
Chamber of Commerce took over
the affairs of the chamber and
we feel, in making a report to you
at this time we should include the
activities covered during the en
tire 15 months just past. We will
try to give you, as nearly as pos
sible. a complete report of all im
portant activities of the chamber
for that period.
One of the first actions of the
management was to outline a
small program for 1937. We have,
we feel, completed that program,
besides enlarging it to fit the
needs and taken on added activi
ties which we considered benefic
ial to the community At the start
these plans included a retrench
ment program in order that we
might carry on the work of the
chamber without working a hard
ship on the citizens and business
men of the community and we
have carried out this idea in all
our actions during the past year.
Financially, the chamber was in
no condition Oct. 1, 1936. to un
dertake any large projects. With
this in view our president, Frank
Van Dyke, appointed a com-

Invade our front door
And brave all the dangers
Of presses’ deep roar
To ask if this sheet
Is a daily or weekly
And we shuffle our feet
And tell the truth meekly.

We’ll be able to answer quite gaily;
No more will their queries have our reply

“Well, we’re pretty darned close to a

Efficiency and economy have been
combined by the local force for
the last year and the entire five
years under Talent's direction—to
establish a record outstanding in
Oregon municipalities.
Citing an example. Talent said:
“I wish particularly to call
your attention to the traffic
situation in Ashland, for I
consider it out of the ordin

We have had only one death
caused by traffic accidents
during the last five years, and
that was not caused by col

We have had only five cases
of traffic accidents within the
city during the above period
wherein persons were taken
to the hospital for treatment
of their Injuries.'*
