3-DAY SESSION
YY^ITH nearly 50 hotel reserva
tions already received, Post
master John H. Fuller last night
expected a record crowd in at

of Oregon postmasters and their
families next week when the three-
day sessions will get under way
Thursday, June 15, and conclude
with a mass picnic in Lithia park
Saturday afternoon, June 17.
Said Fuller in explaining the
coming event, "In many respects
the convention to be held in Ash
land this year will differ from
previous gatherings of the post
masters in Eugene, Astoria and
Baker, as the setting for the con
vention sessions will be the Var
sity theater and Elks temple. Ca
pacity crowds are expected of
postmasters, their families and in
terested persons of southern Ore
gon, as well as postmasters of
northern California who are being
sent special invitations. The Ash
land city band will provide the
first entertainment feature for the
guests Thursday evening of next
week with their hand concer;- in
the park, which will follow regis

Karl Janouch has informed us that
the road, with favorable weather,

with a scenic tour of the valley."
The annual postmasters' ban

VAN DYKE, DAVIS
FILE FOR SCHOOL
BOARD POSITIONS
PRANK VAN DYKE, city attor
ney, and Frank Davis, present
clerk of the Ashland school board
dynasty, will seek election June
19 to the two school board direc
tors’ posts being made vacant by
the expiration of Davis’ and El
wood Herberg's terms. Hedberg
will withdraw from school board
activity, he indicated, because of
the press of business. Both Van
Dyke and Davis have filed nom
inating petitions for the election,
filing date for which expires June
12.
The school board election, which
annually polls but few votes, will
get under way in the city hall at
2 p. m. June 19 and close at 7
p. m. that day. Unless additional
petitions are filed by Monday, Van
Dyke and Davis will run unop
posed. Filing petitions are required
to bear the names of at least three
per cent of the voters at the last
general election, and the petition
ed candidate must accept his nom
ination at least five days before
the election.
Hedberg, who has served two
three-year terms, expressed him
self as having enjoyed pleasant
associations with other board
members and with his work, but
that increasing obligations made
necessary devotion of more time
to his own work.
Ashland's new school superin
tendent, Theo. J. Norby, is ex
pected here within a few days, at
which time formal announcement
may be made of the appointment
of a successor for the coaching
post at the junior high school left
vacant by Earl Rogers when he
was named as principal of the
school. It is understood that school
board members already have ap
proved Alexander Simpson, U of
O graduate, for the position al
though contract has not yet been
signed. Simpson, who has adopted-
Ashland as his home for several
years and is well known locally,
will arrive tonight and is expected
to meet with the school board be
fore returning to summer classes
early next week.
