to meet in the Cham ber of Com­

tion of band and noisemaker fea­
tures and details of numbered
ticket distribution. A turnout of
all merchants is urged so that the
affair may be the city's most suc­
cessful yet.
The Christmas openings in past
years always have attracted hun­
dreds of window shoppers and
has brought into sharp focus the
opening of gift-buying time. Mer­
chants will join in a community­
wide Yule party with gifts, prizes,
music, lavishly decorated windows
and other seasonal delights.
With Thanksgiving set ahead
one week, Ashland business men
will take full advantage of the
extended Christmas season and
will stage the gala opening as
their shopping period “kickoff.”

also will receive the same

which, along with the Ore­

glad to know that our Ash­

good newspaper features when
it sees them. We hope some

SHORT; DRIVE CONTINUES
Ashland’s Red Cross drive quota

approximately $500 of the sum
had been pledged.
The drive will continue, although
canvassing has been completed.
Balance of the funds will be raised
by voluntary contributions, said
Robert Dodge this week, and ask­

with him until Nov. 30. at which
time the drive will officially close.
