EASTER SUNDAY EVENT WILL
ATTRACT MORE THAN THOUSAND
YOUNGSTERS TO LITHIA PARK
ASHLAND Post No. 14, American Legion, again this year will
sponsor its annual Easter egg hunt in Llthia park for the younger
children of southern Oregon and plans already are under way to make
the 1938 event the most successful ever staged. Fred Schuerman,
commander, said Thursday.
Organized entirely by the legion, the hunt each year receives
cooperation from Ashland newspapers in solicitation of funds for
purchasing nearly 3000 eggs which are distributed early Easter morn­
ing by Ashland Boy Scouts in the shrubbery of the park where hun­
dreds of youngsters eagerly await the "Go!” signal at 7 a. m.

A
Active Club Plans
Ladies Night Event
Ashland Activians had a full
docket of business Wednesday eve­
ning when they met at the Llthia
hotel and discussed plans for the
ladies’ night party to be held April
6, and heard the report of C. M.
Litwiller and Elliot MacCracken,
delegates to the recent Active In­
ternational convention in Portland.
The two delegates brought back
several ideas which have proved
Interesting and successful with
other clubs and the local group
definitely decided to foster two of
them -a periodical bulletin for
distribution to members, and plans
for organization of an auxiliary
to the club composed of Activians’
ladies.
George Callas and Larry Hunter
were named by President Jean
Eberhart to edit the bulletin, first
publication date of which was set
for the first of next week. The
initial Issue will be used primarily
as an invitation to members and
guests to attend the forthcoming
party but subsequent papers will
chronicle news, announcements
and events of interest to members
here. Tentative plans call for a
miniature newspaper with all
members of the club acting as re­
porters.
Ben King gave the evening’s
five-minute talk, using the stra­
tegic military set-up of Hawaii as
his topic.

Well, I see they have the budget fixed,

And gas and whisky can be mixed,

And Ashland’s baseballs will be tossed
