That softball has become a most popular sport for players and spectators alike, recent crowds at the * * ... « > field _ i can __ Dut Qaido But t Him Eiland high school attest. aside from the fun of it. softball is doing a great service for the community. Rosters of the six league entrants embrace some 90 youngsters and men not too old to try who almost daily get out in the good, clean, cool evening air to ex­ ercise and relax. The physical benefits of such variety are hard to measure, but they most certainly are ot importance to the health of many who otherwise would get almost no outdoor exercise. The mental stimula­ tion that the game affords also is good. But more than that, softball centers the attention and interest of the younger, formative generation on wholesome, constructive effort and pastime. Half a hundred growing boys are off the streets and into supervised sport, while other dozens come to watch. The moral benefits perhaps are as important as the physical advantages of the games. The beneficent school board and the sponsoring business men who work together to make softball prac­ tical and interesting are to be thanked by the parents of Ashland. It is a good work and, what is more ap­ pealing, swell fun. ★ ★ ★ MORE GOOD NEWS! Reassuring as warm, late spring weather is, the good fortune of young men of the community is even more so. Recently Bob Hardy received his big oppor­ tunity when he signed with the Detroit Tigers base­ ball club, and this week it comes as good news that Al Simpson, another popular young man hereabouts, has been appointed to the junior high school coaching position left vacant by Earl Rogers’ advancement as principal of the school. The selection of Ashland’s most efficient and very popular Rogers to the principalship was greeted warm­ ly here, and The Miner believes that Simpson will be as happy a choice for coach. Like Hardy, Al has proved his character and has worked hard for his objective. That such deserving young men are being recog­ nized at home and away brings satisfaction to those who know them. ★ ★ ★ HERE COME THE BRITISH, BLESS ’EM! The pomp and parade incidental to English royalty seldom appeals to the average American removed from the actual scene and because of this, some quarters have suggested that the British rulers’ visit to this country will never be repeated because the history­ making tour will have injured international relations instead of strengthening them. Those who believe the monarchs should not have come overlook the American appreciation of good sportsmanship. For King George and Queen Eliza­ beth have proved that they can take it. Strenuous days of formal presentations and a rigorous, enervat­ ing schedule of public appearances have been borne graciously and happily by the rulers. And Americans, lovers of ability, can do nothing but admire the royal pair for the outstanding manner in which they have handled their friend-making job. We respect the monarchs, in true democratic fashion, more for what they are as two fine people rather than for their high station. Long live King George and Queen Elizabeth—and all good people who do their work so well! • Mrs. J. H. Sander and Frances Sander returned recently from a two weeks visit in Portland with relatives. • Jackie Porter arrived Monday from Spokane, Wash., for a month visit here at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. I. J Porter. • Mr. and Mrs. Everett McGee visited last week-end with Mr and Mrs. J. H. McGee who are spend­ ing the summer at Lake o’ the Woods. • Henry Enders and son Jack re­ turned Monday from New York where Jack has been attending school. • Frances Howard of the Summit ranch returned recently from a three months trip throughout the United States, including visits at both world fairs. • Mr. and Mrs. Harold Murphy of Los Angeles are visiting here at the home of Mrs. Bertha Heer. • Mrs. Cliff McLean spent last week-end in Portland. Regardless... of the amount expended, your tribute t° the departed will remain through­ out the years, a cherished memory when the last rites are conducted by us.

Their citations are in recogni­ tion of their activity in enrolling new adherents to the Townsend plan and are made on the recom­ mendation of S. S. Davenport, club secretary. E. B Handsaker has enrolled 151 new member» this year. He is distributor for the Townsend na­ tional weekly in Ashland anti has increased sales 1000 |>er cent in six months. Mrs. Estella Cobb also is hon­ ored for having enrolled 50 mem­ bers during the last three months The Ashland club is preparing to send delegates to the fourth national Townsend convention to be held June 22 to 25 A PROFESSION that can bring out as many stories in book form as has the practice of medi­ cine proves itself an engrossing calling. "Horse and Buggy Doc­ tor,” "Doctor Here's Your Hat," "An American Doctor's Odyssy.” "Oh Doctor, My Feet," "Consul­ tation Room," "Y'ou're the Doc­ tor,” with "American Medicine Mobilizes" and "Medicine at the Crossroads" on the serious side are some of the books that have come out during the recent months which were written by and about doctors. No other phase of Ameri­ can life is represented to the same extent in the literary field. Incidentally, we haven’t read a one of them but we can recom­ mend "The Story of St. Michele" j by Dr. Alexander Munthe as an informative and entertaining book common with the rest of the hu­ » 1 1 man race.

When 5500,000 is taken in they are going to build a big dormitory and san­ itarium for indigent movie people. And in New York City by pay­ ing 10 cents you can board an ocean liner on sailing day, visit the public rooms, watch the de­ parture festivities and get a gen­ eral look at some of the things that most of us can only read about. The steamship companies turn these admissions over to the Seaman’s institute for the oenefit of disabled seafaring people and the take amounts to 5100,000 an­ nually which means that a million persons visit the liners every year. Two mighty fine ideas for rais­ ing a lot of cash without hurting, we say. 111 The Bond club, organization of top flight Wall street employes has just held its annual picnic where they take time off to get a laugh at some of their troubles. "The Bawl Street Journal,’’ a take­ off on the dry conservative factual Wall Street Journal, published for this occasion, has just come our way. Here is what some of the ticker- tape boys laughed at as published by their own subsidized journal: Fact Omission Brings Lawsuit: Miss Ina Quagmire, 82-year-old heiress who purchased a million dollars worth of government bonds, has just sued the broker­ age house which made the deal for misrepresentation. She maintains that she should have been inform­ ed that interest on the govern­ ment's obligations was not being earned. Or in a letter to the paper: Question. I have 510,000 to invest. What would you recommend? An­ swer. We would recommend that you keep it a dark secret. Lost: Brief case containing $5000 par value Chilean bonds. Finder can keep the bonds If he will return the brief case. However, the mimic advertise­ ments gave the best laughs with their exaggerated picture of lack of business: Clarke Dodge & Co.: Wanted, office boy. Salary $16 a week or a partnership in the firm. Speyer & Co. advertised a lim­ erick contest with 12 bottles of beer first prize, $2.50 second prize and a partnership for third prize. Gracie Allen & Co.: If one of our issues defaults we give you three shots at the salesman. Joseph Walker & Sons: We could do a big business in govern­ ment guaranteed railroad stocks if someone would guarantee the gov­ ernment. 1 1 1 This group has one thing in American operator» 1« from 53 to > I par thousand board feet mon* than the cost to operators in Brit­ ish Columbia.
