ASHLAND'S Chamber of Com
merce directors yesterday au
thorized partial payment from
chamber funds to local creditors,
in connection with efforts to clear
the deficiency incurred by the
1940 Fourth of July celebration.
Simultaneously, the directorial
board voted to accept the offer of
John B Rogers producing com
pany which staged the cavalcade
for $25 this amount constituting
a portion of the figure requested
as reimbursement on assertedly
contract bills.
This action will
ciency matter as
nances are concerned The cham
ber recently raised approximately
$40 and made partial payments on
obligations and representatives in
dicated that the balance would be
paid as soon as the company's
check had been received.
The chamber also went on
record approving, endorsing and
actively supporting the program
calling for modernization of ths
Pacific highway between Grants
Pass and Roseburg and also be
tween Chehalis and Kelso, Wash. I
Frank Hull, manager of the Med
ford chamber who was a guest of
the local board, cited the progress
already attained since active work
was started in October and report
ed that this project had received
wide-spread endorsement through
out the northwest. He indicated
that if federal funds were to be
appropriated, this action was ex
pected within the next six months
and added that "there appears to
be little doubt as to the necessity
of modernization of these potential
bottlenecks in conjunction with
rapid movement of troops."
Hull urged a favorable local
representation
at
the special
meeting called for Friday, Dec.
27, in Portland where groups from
three states will meet to map fu
ture plans. A special railroad car
is leaving southern Oregon on Dec.
26 and local reservations may be
made through the Chamber of
Commerce offices here.

COL-
° LEGE OF EDUCATION vars
ity hoop team will open its 1940
conference season tonight, Dec. 13
and tomorrow, Dec. 14. when it
clashes with Don Faber's Albany
college quint from Portland. Faber
formerly was coach at Ashland
high. Ashland high will meet Bend
in a preliminary starting at 7:30
o’clock.
Half-time and
between-game
entertainment is being arranged
which will include the college and
high school pep bands and drill
teams. The Ashland Downtown
Quarterbacks have prepared a
stunt program and several college
students also will stage stunts.
A joint rally with students of
the two schools participating will
start at the plaza at 6:30 p. m.
and a serpentine through the busi
ness district will follow Yell lead
ers and bands of both schools will
lead.
The Sons, stinging under two
defeats handed them by the Uni
versity of Oregon Rangers, will be
gunning for the Albany Bucs
while Faber will be anxious to
make his Ashland return a vic
torious one.
The SOCE squad will be decked
out in new white jockey suits and
warmups for the game.
Albany will be led by Dan Koch
and Chet Cardiff, co-captains and
forward and guard respectively,
who are playing their last year
of college basketball. Cardiff is
rated by many as one of the best
guards in the state. He is an ex
cellent long shot with a knack for
breaking up the opponents’ of
fense. Kocli, second high scorer
last year, is an excellent one-hand
ed shot and very fast on breaking
around defense. He is a good ball
iukwk and first class pass inter-
cepter. Pete Leslie, southern Or
egon boy hailing from Glendale,
plays center and is a good swing
shot and leads the Albany back-
board play.
Wayne McGee, forward, is a
small but tricky ball handler.
Sam Tosti, guard, is the only
freshman on the starting five. He
is a small, hard-driving speedball
and a specialist on defense.
Following are the starting line
ups as announced tentatively:
