TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM TOLD Famed Quartet to Appear at College Fate in the form of a |xx-ket knife quivering in a wall map on a battle cruiser hundreds of miles from Ashland was respon sible for the arrival of Jack Ris ky’ Hunt, first class seaman in this city, Sunday. In true story-book faahion, Jack and several com|>anion» decided to let fate determine where they would «pend their 15-day furloughs; so they hung a map on the wall and let their knives select their destinations. Jack's knife landed in Ashland —and so did Jack, Sunday. Hunt has made many friends already and reports that he is enjoying his furlough. He also assisted in the flag presentation at the Quarterbacks' banquet Wednesday night. One injury and considerable damage resulted from two acci dents which occurred in the Ash- land area due to slippery road conditions the past week. Mrs. Paul Sparks of Medford received a scalp injury and minor bruises when the car in which she was riding skidded and turned over on the Klamath Falls high way. Mr Sparks and four other passengers in the car escaped injury. The other accident, involving two trucks and a passenger car. occurred Tuesday morning on the Pacific highway near the north city limits The two big trucks driven by Don Kerby of Talent and Louis Ramirez of Turlock. Calif., met headon when the semi trailer driven by Remirez skidded into the left traffic lane in the path of Kerby's truck. The Remi rez truck turned on its side in the ditch at the south of the highway and although the impact practic ally demolished the front of Ker by's truck, it still remained on the highway. A passenger car driven by Mrs. Earl Anderson also was damaged in the accident Mrs Anderson was following the Kerby truck when the headon crash drove the truck back into the front of her car. Drivers of all three vehicles luckily escaped injury.

The occasion honor ed the high school and Junior high football squads, girls' drill team, high school band, basketball squads, coaches and school direc tors. An impressive highlight of the after-dinner program was the pat riotic ceremony honoring the mem ory of Bobby Farlow, former grid star and popular high school stu dent, who became Ashland's num ber one sacrifice in the country's present defense effort. After Toastmaster J. H. Hardy spoke a few words of the popularity and achievements of Bobby, the audi ence stood in silent tribute and a flag presentation was made by Capt. Charles Delsman, Pvt Jack Bentley and Jack "Rocky" Hunt, first class seaman Following the presentation the group sang “God Bless America." Another highlight of the eve ning was Jhe awarding of the Charles White trophy to Chuck Jandreau This award is made each year to the senior selected by a secret vote of the team members as the most inspirational player. Introduction of coaches and players of both high school and junior squads provided an enter taining bit to the program. Sever al of the quarterback members also were introduced and spoke briefly of the successful grid sea son with many references to the coveted Medford win In regard to this particular game. Principal B C. Forsythe presented some statistics which provided an in teresting background to the many years of Ashland-Medford rivalry Irving E. Vining, main speaker of the evening, referred to the banquet as *'. . . not so much a feast of food as a feast of glor ious memories.” In his brief re marks he particularly emphasized the ''win to win" which paved the way for gridiron success and ex pressed the hope that the students would carry the same spirit, men tal alertness and initiative with them in their every day living. Opportunities for the audience to enter into the festivities were provided for by group singing and a serpentine serenade for the hon ored guests. The high school or chestra furnished music through out the evening and the girls' drill team paid tribute to the Quarterback club in a short drill introduced by their leader, Miss June Brasted. The evening's fun ended in a wild scramble for colorful balloons released from the ceiling. ----------- •------------ Medford and Ashland C-C Directors Meet Directors of both the Ashland and Medford chambers of com merce will meet at the Plaza cafe this noon to discuss problems of mutual interest to the two com munities.
