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 first annual mid-summer
meeting of the Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland association has been
set for Diamond Lake, Sunday,
Aug. 3 according to an announce­
ment made by Earl Janouch, coun­
ty director for Jackson county.
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. Norby and Al Simpson
will leave Junior high school at
8 a m. Sunday for Lake of the
Woods where they will spend a
week at Camp McLoughlin. Boy
Scout camp at the lake. Final ar­
rangements were made Wednes­
day evening at a meeting of the
boys and the supervisors.
The boys will fit into the regu­
lar scout program of the camp,
but will do their cooking as a
group and care for their own
quarters. There are plenty of ac­
tivities such as swimming, boat­
ing. hiking and crafts, planned to
make the w-eek an ideal vacation.
Any Ashland boy over the age
of 11 may still make arrange­
ments to accompany this group
bv contacting either Norbv or
Simpson. Cost of the week will be
$3 50 and the boys plan to return
Sunday afternoon, Aug. 3.

Although one or two small bills
remain, Ashland’s 1941 July 4
celebration is approximately $400
to the good, members of the ex­
ecutive committee announced this
week.
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.

Total scores were 2245 and 2664,
