TIME TO IMHJ. UP! To the Editor: While the "go to church" cam paign lb on it might be well to recall the saying of Wesley that "cleanliness indeed la next to God liness." Thia aphorism is one that should be taken herd of by civic authorities The apperance of Ash land s well kept streets is marred by unkempt parking lots, some bordering on main thoroughfares. Residents who keep their premises clean and tidy are deserving of commendation for their manifes tation of civic pride and the civic authorities should show their ap preciation by ordaining that all unmanicured lots be cleaned up forthwith Since much effort is being made to attraoC tourists, a general clean-up of all eyesores Is imperative.

Drivers’ Licenses Increased to $1.50 Persons Holding drivers' licenses which expire June 30 of this year will not be required to take any examination when they renew the licenses, it was announced today by Earl Snell, secretary of state. Examinations are required, however, for those persons who were not licensed during the 1939- 1941 period and for persons 70 years of age or older. Drivers' licenses for the 1941- 1943 period will cost >1.50 this year, Instead of one dollar, due to creation of a motor vehicle acci dent fund by the 1941 legislative assembly, it was explained. This fund is for payment of hospitalization costs of indigent persons injured in automobile ac cidents, cared for in hospitals which are then unable to collect from the patients. The fund will be administered by the state in dustrial accident ommission and hospitals must be registered with the commission and follow a sche dule of charges set up by the commission. There will be approximately >250,000 available for this fund during the coming two-year per- tod as there will be at least 500,- 000 drivers licensed during that time, Snell said. ------------- •-------------- CHILD HEALTH CONFERENCE HELI) LAST TUESDAY There were 13 babies and pre school children present at the monthly child health conference Varsity Theater held at the women’s civic club house Thursday of last week.
