have constructively supported the

ciation and the Shasta-Cascade
exposition commission in their
promotional activities to develop
and publicize the Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland scenic region and con
struct and maintain a creditable
building and exhibits at the
world's fair on Treasure island,
was adopted at a joint meeting of
PHONE
members of boards of supervisors
and county courts and association
members in Klamath Falls Satur
day. The meeting was in connec
tion with a session to provide
adequate financing for the expo
sition exhibit, and ways and
means of taking full advantage of
the promotional possibilities it
affords.
At the same time the meeting
unanimously deplored and con
demned, in the same resolution
the action of those newspapers
who have failed to evidence a
commonwealth spirit by support
ing the work of the two organi
zations and, in certain cases, have
printed allegedly unjust criticisms
an«l misleading stories without
even attempting to obtain true
facts from officers of the organi
zation.
The meeting was attended by
approximately 50 representatives
of all nine counties of the Won
derland region. It was the con
census of opinion that the Shasta-
Cascade exhibit has been splen
didly conceived and constructed,
properly managed and is a credit
and a valuable asset to the region.

Dr. Joseph Beeman, who partici

was explained. Dr. Menne believes
