CONVENTION HERE 4^ RESERVATIONS POURING IN FOR 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 tendance at the annual convention 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 tration at convention headquart­ ers in the Lithia hotel. Luncheons for the ladies and a drive up the Mount Ashland loop road will oc­ cur Friday, and Forest Supervisor Karl Janouch has informed us that the road, with favorable weather, will be ready for the tour which will be headed by Police Chief C. P. Talent. Those not interested in the lofty drive will be entertained with a scenic tour of the valley." The annual postmasters' ban­ quet. to be held in the Elks tem­ ple where facilities will be pro­ vided for guests and residents, will be one of the convention’s main attractions. Speakers from the post office department in Washington, D. C., will make the main addresses, and officials from principal coast cities also will speak. Forenoons Friday and Sat­ urday will be given over to busi­ ness sessions of the postmasters association and are expected to (Continued on page 6) TRUTH about ADVERTISING By CHARLES B.

T 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.
