With two Ashland area districts
unreported. Red Cross membership
goal of 560 already has reached a
total of 456, according to J. W.
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. Those
taking an active part in the drive
here include the following:

VVITH the definite date having

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.
