G. Enders, Ashland, and W. H. Young, farmer of Eagle Point were named this week as members of the 1939 county bud get committee. Enders has had previous budget committee exper ience The committee, with the county court, will start consideration of the budget within the next few days Most of the county offices and departments have submitted I heir budgets for the coming year. All run about the same as last year, it is said. Plans are to have the budget ready for a public hearing about Nov. 1, Number 38 UU ASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept 21 No secret is the fact that moat menibcra of congress are very pes simistic about the European sit uation and feel that the United States will become involved direct ly in a matter of months. With the ; opening of the special session, every effort will be mude to keep clear. Majority of members (and the administration) believe that President Roosevelt's "cash and carry' plan will prevent an en tanglement; minority is Just a» strongly convinced that Uie way to avoid war is to sell belligerents nothing to retain the mandatory embargo.

Into the offices of the delega tions from Oregon and Washing ton are coming thousands of tele grams, letters and petitions pray ing to keep the United States out of war. Public opinion is unani mous on that point. The letters arc from people in every walk of life and from every county in the Pacific northwest states. But the senators and representatives re quire no such requests; the law makers, themselves, have no taste for war. At the White House President Roosevelt assures the newspaper men that the administration is not thinking of war; is making no preparations, has outlined no plans. This, of course, is not ex actly correct, for the administra tion is aware that in some way America's desire for peace may be wishful thinking and, like a | sensible administration, ¡»Ians and precautions are being made in case the worst comes to the worst Not to consider war as a posai bi I- | ity and act accordingly would fa- foolish, and the administration fa not that.

Applications are being taken at the registrar's office for this work from students who will have at least if sophomore standing. They will get flying training along with their other college work. Applications have been coming in rapidly and school officials ex pect to sign up about 100 for con sideration of aeronautics author ity representatives. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 25 years and must pass rigid physical examination. The total cost to the student in addition to normal college ex penses will fa- $40, which goes to the institution to pay for a com prehensive physical examination, insurance and other incidental ex penses. The Civil Aeronautics au thority adds $20 per student as its contribution to the cost of cor^ ducting a ground school by the institution, and then meets the entire cost of actual flying in- I st ruction. The ground school, consisting of 72 hours of training scattered throughout the year, will begin about Oct. 1, according to college i officials. Planes used in flight work will be kept at the Medford airport, where Instructor Tom Cul bertson will conduct dual flying I training.

Tops of trees cut for peeler logs, previously a timber waste, will be used to feed the newly reopened sawmill on the Hash place on Dead Indian, it was announced here this week by Graham and sons, former Talent sawmill oper ators who have leased the property from Owner Arthur L. Coggins of Ashland. Graham and sons will receive logs from Charles Skeet ers, Talent logging contractor who has been shipping peelers to Wash ington from the Dead Indian. The peeler logs, which have been a common sight in Ashland en route to their loading yard in Tal ent, are unusually large sugar pine. Tops of the trees, too small for peeler shipment, will be suit able for cutting into lumber at the mill, which will employ about 20 men. Skeeters' logging opera tions also employ an additional number of men in the area. The mill, a steam outfit, has been leased by the Grahams for a five-year period, Coggins said. INDICATING an all-time high for enrollment at Southern Oregon College of Education, advance reg istrations yesterday had reached a total of 100 students as hi my Officials made preparation» for opening of the fall term Monday, Sept. 25, according to Frea.

ROTH ‘HERE COMES THE QUEEN I’ I WAS talking In his office with a man who is head of a large store. 1 was complimenting him upon the extraordinary courtesy and service a woman told me she always received In that store. "My friend says that your salespeo ple treat her as though she were the queen," I explained. “Come with me," the executive said, and left his chair, and started down stairs. "I want to show you some- Charles Roth thing." I followed. He took me behind the counters. He pointed out neatly printed white cards pasted up at close intervals throughout the store, where the clerks couldn't help seeing. I read what they said. "HERE COMES THE QITEENI” "It’s our slogan." the executive explained "Yes; it's more than a slogan. It's our watchword, our business policy, to treat every wom an who enters the store as though she were the queen." I happen to know that this policy has paid handsome dividends to the store. As I think it over, however, only in form and expression is that policy different from that of every other organization which advertises for your trade. All have to treat you as though you were the queen—or the king. Anyone who has been buying much in the stores will tell you that the treatment received from clerks is vastly different from what it was years ago. They are more consid erate. They are better informed. The reason for this change Is that they have the ideal which advertis ing has created in their minds, and to this ideal they must conform. All over the country, in every newspaper, advertisers are vying with one another in telling the story of their products and in improving their products to make them more acceptable. Their desire is to produce some- thing fit for the queen—or the king— and their advertising sets up a standard to which they must strive. In the process you get the best products and service it is possible to provide. O Chari«« B. Roth. A. A. MADDEN being the first local hunter worthy of the name.
