CHANGE;FAVOR
GREAT PROGRAM
REGISTRATION
A CTION on the proposed classi­
fication and establishment of
departments wihin the directorial
board of the Ashland chamber of
commerce was deferred until the
next meeting by vote of the board
members, who met Wixinesday
noon for their first session of the
new year.
Reason for the deferment was
given that with less than two
months remaining in the present
fiscal year, it was believed best to
withhold adoption until a later
date. Possible changes in the ad­
ministration of the chamber also
would enable new officials oppor­
tunities to revise arrangements to
better serve the organization's in­ I
terests It was decided however to
bring the matter up at the next
board meeting as one of the prin­
cipal items of business.
The directors also voted to
take an affiliation with the Better
Business bureau of Portland in
connection with moves to provide
better control over the activities
of solicitation crews, fly-by-night
promoters and fake advertising
schemers which regularly prey on
business concerns.
Through this
membership, the chamber will re­ l
ceive regular reports from the 1
Portland agency and in turn will
provide items of note through reg­
ular press channels and also In the
bulletin.

The Ashland Radio club an­
nounces that it will sponsor a
radio training course in the near
future providing there U sufficient
enrollment.
Members of the club will act as
instructors
and
although
the
course does not pretend to turn
out professional radio engineers,
it does provide a sound back-
ground in the fundamentals of
electricity, radio transmission and
reception, and other subjects per­ '
taining to the maintenance and
operation of an amateur radio sta­
tion. The course is especially time­
ly because of the need for men
with radio training in the national
defense program.

by sending an inquiry to the Ash-
land Radio club, P. O. box 44,

ASHLAND'S second annual gala
basketball Jamboree, featuring
Jerry Gastineau's unbeaten Ash­
land high Grizzlies, the aebut of
Al Simpson's junior high five, all
decked out in their new uniforms,
and a vast array of sparkling en­
tertainment is all set for the Jun­
ior high gym tonight, Jan. 10.
The full evening of entertain­
ment will begin at 7:30 p. m. when
the Juniors take the floor against
the Roseburg junior high Papp-
pooses. Simpson, employing a fast
break, will have 10 men in suits
for the clash. They will be Riggs
and Kerr, forwards; Bartelt, cen­
ter, and Roberson and Kannasto,
guards for the starting five and
Griffith and Wordsworth, for­
wards: Landing, center, and Sam­
uelson and Garrett, guards on the
reserve list. Most or perhaps all
of these will see action before the
game is over, according to Simp­
son.
The junior high band will be on
hand to provide entertainment
throughout the program.
The
Downtown Quarterbacks will stage
a comic basketball game between
i the halves of this game.

An effort is under way to get
the following men to participate
in the stunt: Clyde Dunham. Theo

Marshall Woodell, Sid Reed. Bob

Burdic and John Daugherty. Dr.
G. B. Hull and I. C. Irwin will act
as coaches and Jean Eberhart will
referee.
Immediately following the AJH-
Roseburg game the newly-organ­
ized Grants Pass high rchool girls'
drum and bugle corps will perform
and this brilliant show will be
followed by a flag salute and pre­
sentation of colors by three high
school lettermen.
Then the Ashland high Grizzlies,
undefeated in six games and being
spoken of throughout the state as
potential champions, will open
their 1941 conference schedule
against the Grants Pass Cavemen.
At this writing, no news of the
Cavemen has drifted into Ashland.

Grizzlies plans to use the same
