I. Moon, city policeman. The movement, if it reaches frui tion, would be a "junior G-man" organization with the avowed pur pose of helping to uphold the law in a most practical manner. "By teaching young boys at the formative age constructive, useful things, we can help them and they in turn can help themselves and the police at the same time,” ex plained Moon. Although the idea still is tentative, discussion of its outline to a number of business and professional men here has brought forth an interested re sponse. Recent revelations of extensive thievery by lads here contributed to formation of the plan, which would develop law-abiding and law-enforcing men of boys who might otherwise be on the doubt ful side of proper conduct. The objective would be accomplished by teaching boys the fundamentals and principles of detective work, by teaching them the theory and necessity for law enforcement, and by furnishing physical pastimes including body development as well as study. Moon plans to have the idea In concrete form ready for applica tion within a month. ------------ •------------ Members of the board of direc tors of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce Wednesday turned thumbs down on a plea for par ticipation in urging bonded in debtedness for straightening the Pacific highway between Grants Pass and Roseburg, as asked by commerce groups of the two cities.
