LIFE'S JOURNEY ENDS
Mrs. Elizabeth Fritze, wife of
Charles Fritze, Second street, who
passed away Wednesday, was laid
to rest this morning in Hargadine
cemetery, from services in Lady
of the Mountain church, Father
William J. Meagher officiating.
Recitation of the rosary was last
evening in the Litwiller Funeral
home.
Mrs. Fritze was a native of
Pennsylvania and had lived in
Ashland seven years. Her death
was due to a stroke suffered last
Friday. She was a woman of many
sterling traits of character. Her
kindly
sympathetic
disposition
won her many friends who sin­
cerely mourn her departure. Sur­
viving, in addition to her husband,
are two brothers, John Neill, Pitts­

for dedication ceremonies of

pointment of a temporary pro­
gram chairman and naming of pri­
mary committees to undertake en­
tertainment plana was completed
by a group of chamber of com­
merce officials from southern Ore­
gon and northern California here
Thursday night, meeting in con­
junction with local representatives
to formulate tentative plans for
the two-state celebration.
Dean Pieper, secretary of the
Ashland Chamber of Commerce,
was named temporary chairman
of the celebration committee, while
Nov. 26 was designated as a tent­
ative daté for the dedication cere­
monies. This date, however, will
hinge on the completion of con­
struction on the California side of
the line, it was emphasized.
Both Ashland and Yreka Lions
clubs were named as members of
the entertainment committee and
will co-ordinate plans for this
phase of the ceremonies.
Karl
Nims, local president of the Lions
club, assured the group of support
from the Ashland organization
and indicated a similar expression
from the Yreka club could be ex­
pected.
He planned a trip to
Yreka in the near future to draw
up tentative plans.
Both Pieper and J. P. McGinnis,
secretary of the Yreka Chamber of
Commerce, were named to send
invitations to Oregon and Califor­
nia notables, respectively. It is the
plan of the celebration committee
to bring both Gov. Culbert L. Ol­
son of California and Gov. Charles
A. Sprague of Oregon to this area
for the ceremonies, along with
other prominent state and high­
way officials.
Pieper, who will attend the con­
vention of the Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland association in Red­
ding early next week, was dele­
gated to request the support of
that organization in furthering the
dedication arrangements.
Next meeting of the original
group will be held at Yreka Nov.
