SET YOU
CUT OURSELVES A PIECE OF CAKE!
Without vanity, Ashland people can well be proud
of the job of hospitality they did over the July 4
week-end. This year’s celebration was one of the best
in years, and one that would do credit to any city.
The event, which went off without a hitch, carried
on and gave emphasis to a fine tradition which has
been exclusively Ashland's since the settling of south­
ern Oregon.
Conceived and prosecuted with enthusiasm and
community-wide cooperation, the celebration was a
monument of pleasure and enjoyment to many thous­
ands of visitors who came here from all parts of
southern Oregon and northern California. They came
here expecting an appropriate and gratifying week­
end, and were not disappointed.
Most folks wh<5 enjoyed the Ashland Independence
day observance will think of the effort as an annual
occurrence enjoyed by all. But those of us here behind
the scenes weeks before the holiday arrived know that
the celebration represented far more than just a two-
day spasm of flag waving and hurrah.
The occasion was the final product of weeks of con­
scientious effort and application of ability by dozens
of individuals who fitted their talents together into
one pattern. The celebration was the fruition of hours
and hours of unrewarded and often unrecognized hard
work.
The thousands of visitors who crowded our park
and city during the two days neither noted nor were
concerned with why and how such a fine celebration
came to be. but residents of Ashland should take heart
in their community because of the ability of its people
to work together so effectively.
Not only did we celebrate the signing of the declar­
ation of independence in Ashland Sunday and Mon­
day, we also added vigor to the independence of our
own community.

WE LOVE OUR NECKS!
Although the trite phrase, “A safe and sane
Fourth,” irks this department, we’ll swallow our in­
hibition long enough to chortle about the fine record
established here over the holidays.
Neither serious highway nor fireworks accidents
occurred in this neighborhood, although an unusually
heavy stream of traffic choked our streets and high­
ways, and several thousand youngsters were here for
the celebration.
Boasting always is in poor taste, but as regards
physical safety, it is a fine and unusual privilege to
point with pride to empty hospitals and unstained
pavements. The real purpose in giving safety a nod.
though, is to remind motorists that an accident-free
community is not a happenstance, even during a holi­
day. Careful driving and sober conduct combine to
promote safety every day in the year and we have
a good precedent to follow the rest of the year.
Although as a community of motorists we deserve
a pat on the back, don’t take your hand off the wheel
to give it.

NOW HERE’S SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT!
According to an announcement from the Tokyo
war office, Japan in the first year of her “incident”
with China claims to have caused 1,300,000 deaths
while occupying 775,000 square miles of their victims’
territory. They admit Japanese losses to be more than
36,000, and it is reasonable to assume that actual
losses to the Nipponese have been far greater.
The cunning Japanese war office presented the
resume much as would a board of directors present a
successful balance sheet to their stockholders.
On this side of the Pacific it is hard to see what
worthwhile gain Japan has made from the slaughter.
Loss of lives—even though many of them be the en­
emy—has been revolting to less aggressive peoples.
