McCoy, chairman Total receipts to date were announced as $584, with 10 days left for further par ticipation in the mercy work here. According to McCoy, it is possi ble that some of the districts out lined here for the annual drive may have overlapped or that some districts may have been overlook ed and if any such have been noted word of such oversight would be apreciated at the Red Cross headquarters in lobby of the Li thia hotel. The drive for members, through further voluntary subscriptions which may be made at the local bonk or drug stores, should reach the desired goal, said McCoy, who urged those not yet contacted to be sure to take out memberships prior to Nov. 25. McCoy expressed particular praise for the fine cooperation given by the several division chairmen and their assistants in the drive, as well as the reception given the Red Cross work by all residents of the community.

VVITH the definite date having bee.” set as Tuesday after noon, Nov. 26, chamber of com merce and highway development officials from southern Oregon and northern California will assemble here this evening to iron out final plans for the dedication and for mal opening of the new section of highway over the Siskiyou*. The meeting will be held at 7:30 p. m. in the city council chambers. Invitations to the celebration have been extended to Governor Charles A. Sprague of Oregon; Governor Culbert L. Olson of Cali- omia, members of the state high way commissions of both states and representatives of communi ties from Eugene to Redding. The present plan is to stage the dedi catory ceremonies about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and then journey to Yreka for a dinner banquet. The California side of the new highway has not been completely finished but travel has been rout ed over the new portions from the Klamath junction on the Oregon side to the Hilt cut-off, near the checking station on the south slopes of the mountains. Meanwhile, local chamber offi cials announced that preliminary arrangements for the 1940 Ash land Christmas opening have been completed and the date for this year’s unveiling is set as Friday, Dec. 6. at 7:30 p. m. The Christ mas opening committee met this week, voted to request the city to decorate the streets, request the city band to appear and also ex tend an invitation to the well- known Ashland Kiltie band to par ticipate. Numbered tickets, good for merchants' prizes will be distribut ed free within the Ashland trade area. Merchants will be formally requested to decorate store win dows with the Christmas motif and also to donate a small amount to allay costs, of providing the tickets. The Chamber of Com merce will provide free noise mak ers for the youngsters and Santa Claus, after considerable commu nication between Ashland and his North Pole headquarters, has agreed to appear and distribute the favors. Grants Pass-Ashland Football Game Is Off A mutual agreement between the two schools has brought about cancellation of the Grants Pass- Ashland football game which was to be played here Nov. 28. According to Leighton Blake, Grizzly coach, it was decided that nothing could be gained in playing the game since it would not affect conference standings and both schools would rather devote the time to an earlier start on basket ball. ------------- •------------- CLARK G.
