lead of the southern Oregon junior
high conference with a decisive 13
to <> triumph over Medford juniors

the local boys their margin of
victory.
The juniors next go against

ASHLAND WELCOMES BATTERY B
SCHOOL BOARD
STUDIES REPORT
ON BUILDING
The school board studied an
architect's report concerning ai-
te rations in the Washington »choo
at their meeting Tuesday evening,
but definite action win deferred
until further consideration of the
situation. The report which esti
mated alterations would require
$7,700, was submitted by Miles K
Cooper, an engineer employed by
the Portland architects, White
house und Church.
The report indicated that ", by
correcting
certain
structural
weaknesses the building could be
made sound and usable In add!
tion to the matters of fireproof
ing boiler room and adding fire
stopping we recommend the ap
plying of approved panic bolts to
the exit doors By these changes
you will have taken practically all
precautions possible considering
the type of construction you have
to work with and without making
very extensive structural chang
es "
"School design and plan has
progressed so tar since this build
ing was built that it would not
seem a sound investment to try
to make all changes necessary to
make It a modem, firesafe educa
tional plant."
A report to Supt. Theo J. Nor
by on a recent survey by the fire
marshal's department also stress
es the poor condition of the Wash
ington school structure
"It is not possible to lay too
much emphasis upon the need for
an entirely new structure to re
place thia Washington grade
school The building is in a partic
ularly deteriorated condition and
is so constructed as to lend itself
to the rapid spread of fire
The
use of this building by high school
students or junior high school stu
dents would still present a matter
for serious concern That It is
occupied by grade school students
accentuates lh<- danger as I look
upon it. Through you I wish to
recommend to the school board
that plans be set for the retire
ment of this building at the ear
liest possible moment."
Student Traffic
Patrol Now Active
Student traffic patrol which has
been delayed for some lime await
ing arrival of materials was fin
ally inaugurated at the Washing
ton school Wednesday
While
headgear and Sam Brown belts
were distributed to the schools
through the city police department
and the Ashland Idons who spon
sored the project are to supply
white raincoats to complete the
uniform.
The main function of the patrol
is the safety of students at street
crossings before and after school
and during the noon hour Accord
ing to plans, the patrol will be
active at the other city schools
very anon.

C-C Forum Luncheon
Draws Fine Crowd
The second chamber of com
merce forum luncheon of the sea
son, offering discussions on tax
law changes, price trends in retail
merchandising, attracted a fine
turn out of members to the Plaza
cafe last Friday.
C. R. Bowman, county superIn
tendent, briefly reviewed some ol
the changes in the tax laws and
discussed the reasons for the
changes and the effects they will
have. The two main reasons giv
en for tlfe changes were that they
would bring about a uniform bud
get year and fiscal year and that
the tax collections would be timer
to avoid other heavy tax collec
tion periods.
J. H. Hardy, discussing pric<
trends in retailing singled out sev
eral commodities which have seei
marked price advances and show
ed the factors contributing to thi
advance. He also pointed out the
irregularity between price rises
and the incomes of various groups
