I0RBY TALK IS
FORUM FEATURE
An informative at id interesting
itllne of the purposes of educa
tion in Ashland public schools
given by Supt. Theo J. Norby was
the feature of the Chamber of
Commerce's first fall monthly for
um meeting in the Lithla hotel
dining room Tuesday noon.
Norby declared that public
schools are the foundation of
workable democracy and that the
local classrooms will be governed
with that principle ax their guid
ing theme. He explained that in
terest is being focused more on
the "how" than the "what” of
ibjects being taught. Develop
ment of thinking ability on the
art of students is of greater im-
portance than subject matter used
in this process, he said.
Superintendent Norby also told
of greater emphasis being placed
on music instruction this year,
with classes for beginners having
been provided. He also described
athletics as a valuable emotional
outlet for students as well as the
players which equals entertain
ment value of sports in public
schools.
New members of Ashland's bus-
lt ess life were present and were
introduced to
the meeting, at
hich Pres. C. M Litwiller pre-
ded. They included Henry Metz,
Flloyd Richards, Hiram Oster-
nioor, A. F. Barradough, R. E.
Van Vleet and V. Lassen.
The chamber group assured co
loration with the Ashland Lions

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14—
There is no immediate pros
pect of United States sending food
to Great Britain and France, al
though the first reaction to the
war's start was a sharp increase
in retail prices to American con
sumers in the face of surpluses of
everything. Later, and soon, the
farmers and stockmen will receive
better prices—now going to pro
cessors. wholesalers and retailers
entirely.
Conditions at the opening of the
second World war are quite differ,
ent from the first "war to make
the world safe for democracy” and
"a war to end all wars.” Wheat
acreage, for example, is far great
er today; there is a larger supply
of livestock. Great Britain already
has made contracts with Argen
tina for beef (same canned meat
over which there was a contro
versy a few weeks ago when Presi
dent Roosevelt said it was a better
product than the American ar
ticle). Canada and Australia have
large wheat crops; sugar is being
produced in British colonies; Ire
land (neutral) is in the sugar beet
industry in an important way.
Wheat carryover in all wheat
growing countries is enormous.
Australia has a heavy store of
wool. However, there will be a de
mand by the allies for fats.
To what extent food supplies
reach Great Britain and France
will depend on the scope of the
submarine warfare against British
flag ships carrying food cargoes.
£HE FIRST football battle of the
1939 season here will be waged
at 8 o’clock tonight, Sept. 15, on
the high school field when the
strong Lakeview Honkers and the
Ashland high Grizzlies clash in
Ule initial game fur both squads.
Tough workouts have been un

eral days but neither coach has
cared to do much predicting
The eastern Oregonians are

will make the trip over the hill,
while the Grizzlies have but six
award winners. Lakeview’s team
will average 172 pounds to Ash
land's 157. The Honkers’ line ave
rages 172 to 162 pounds for the
locals while the visitors' backfield
tips the scales at an average of
1(5 pounds as compared to 145
for Ashland.
During the half-time intermis
sion the fans will be entertained
by the newly-formed drill team
under the direction of Miss Elea
nor Coombe, physical education
director. The leaders, Carol Mc
Collum, Jeanette Burton and
Charlotte Short will be dressed in
new uniforms of white satin. New
costumes also have been purchased
for the marchers this year. These
consist of red slacks and white
satin shirts, in keeping with school
colors. Ward Cruft, musical direc
