WPA TO STUUY CIVILIAN SET-UP [A ll CAN HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND SICKNESS DRAGS ON NATIONAL DEPENSE. REFINANCING 4TH COMMITTEE IS C-C PROBLEM SEES BALANCE Chamber of commerce members here will have an opportunity to express individual opinions on the prospects of a re-financing program, the board of directors decided this week. Faced with the prospect of a re-financing project as a result of loss of income from elimination of out-of-state registration, the booster organization must neces- >«riiy revamp its financial struc ture. Prospects of an increase in dues, plus the establishment of a so-called "service fund" were dis cussed, although the directorial board felt that the final exprea .'rions were due from the member ship itself. Questionnaires now are being prepared and will be sent to in dividual members with stamped, self-addresed return envelopes President R. I. Flaharty has re quested that all members submit their expressions as expressions are of importance to the continua tion of the current operational program. Directors tabled a resolution from the Marshfield chamber of commerce calling for revision of the program pertaining to devel opment of minerals in southwest ern Oregon, pending additional information.

The meeting will be in the form of an old-fashioned picnic on the south beach of the lake where with the cooperation of the U.S forest service tables and seats will be arranged for those who bring their lunch. The major part of the meeting will be a good old- faahioned get-acquainted affair with plenty of recreation and en tertainment. Diamond Lake is situated in the cool Cascade Mountains with pav ed highways leading to the shore of the lake from both Medford and Klamath Falls as well as Crater Lake. Stores, camp grounds and Diamond Lake Resort are nearby the picnic site. You can enjoy swimming at the beach, boating fishing, hiking or do just what ever you most enjoy. Hot coffee, ice cream and cold drinks will be available. The Association extends an invitation to all persons living in the Shasta-Cascade counties to at tend and enjoy themselves and meet their friends and get ac quainted with the Shasta-Cascad- ian group. If you plan to make it a week-end party there are ample places to stay over Saturday night within an hour or two of the pic nic grounds and it is suggested that you do not count on accom odations at the Diamond Lake Resort unless you have reserva tions since the Resort is running full this season However it will be possible to eat at the Resort at all times. The picnic is scheduled for 1 p. m. and all are requested to regist er at the Resort -------- •---- - --- Scouts to Spend Week At Lake o’ Woods Eighteen boys accompanied by Theo J.

Expenses of presenting a well- filled. one-day celebration amount ed to $749 59, while income from donations both here and in Med ford, concessions and the celebra tion dance, brought $1.163.30. Financial statement on the ro deo and horse show staged by the Trail Riders, disclosed expendi tures of $1,455.76 and an income of $1,537.95, leaving a net profit of $82.19 C. P Talent, business manager for the Trail Riders, stated, however, that the coat of constructing the "Diamond Circle Corrals” has been returned from the two performances on the Fourth. Considering the extent of pro fits from the rodeo, the executive committee agreed to waive the 20 percent refund which had been stipulated on the affair. Whether or not the present bal ance will be pro-rated back to the local contributors or will be held over as a “nest egg” for the 1942 celebration, will hinge on the ex pressions of the merchants them selves. The chamber of commerce will send out questionnaires within a short time asking for opinions. ------------ •------------ Local Bowlers Defeat 20th Squadron Team A team of local bowlers com posed of Pruit, Adair, Travis, Sims and Day defeated a team from the 20th Pursuit group in a match on the Ashland alleys Wednesday evening.
