PLANS MEETING The Siskiyou Miners’ assixha- tion is sponsoring a meeting at Grants Pass Monday, Feb. 2. to which all persons interested in the production of chromite are invited. John F. Norton, head of the mining division of the Reconstruc­ tion Finance Corporation, is com­ ing from Washington, D. C. to be present at the meeting. Earl K Nixon, director of the state de­ partment of geology and mineral industries, states that Norton will probably clarify the government’s position in relation to (1) pur­ chases of chromite ore in small lots by the Metals Reserve com­ pany; <2) location of stockpiles; 13) whether or not the RFC will cut red tape and make small loans to chromite prospectors and pro­ ducers. Nixon pointed out that matters have reached a state which might be called an impasse and that im­ mediate decisive government ac­ tion is a "must” if the Metals Reserve company intends to bring pu*. maximum production of hard rock chromite in time to do any good. "We want cold facts,” Nix­ on said. "On the one side, chrome miners should inform Mr. Norton of actual conditions attending chromite occurrences and produc­ tion in this area without ballyhoo or exaggeration, On the other hand, we want direct, definite statements from Mr. Norton on what the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and Metals Reserve company will or will not do to get chrome moving, both in the John Day country and the southwestern Oregon and northern California localities.” ---------------------•--------------------- Dairy Manufacturers To Study Quality Methods for maintaining high­ est quality in the production of dairy products while increasing the output to meet wartime de­ mands will be emphasized at the 31st annual convention of the Ore­ gon Dairy Manufacturers associa­ tion to be held at Oregon State college Feb. 16 to 21.

Number 5 BALL TO CLIMAX POLIO CAMPAIGN Ashland, along with commun­ ities throughout the nation, will * gather this week-end to celebrate the 60th birthday of the President of the United States, in the form of benefit birthday balls to pro­ vide funds for the campaign against poliomyelitis. Under the chairmanship of Verne Smith, the 1942 campaign here will be climaxed with a bene­ fit dance in the Elks temple to­ morrow night. Music is to be fur­ nished by Steve Whipple and his orchestra. From all indications the Ash­ land campaign will wind up as a decided success. Alice Patterson, chairman of the ticket sales com­ mittee, has reported that so far more than 140 tickets have been sold in the pre-sale canvass Addi­ tional sales at the door Saturday night are expected to boost this total considerably. Both« the Lithia and the Varsity theatres are offering ticket hold­ ers free admittance to the 9 p. m. shows tomorrow night, in place of the dance. The Bellview grange is sponsoring a dance and turning a portion of the proceeds to the fund, while the Ashland Skating Rink management turned over a percentage of last night s receipts to the campaign. Coach Jean Eberhart of the Southern Oregon College of Edu- cation also offered all receipts above expenditures from tonight's SONS-Monmouth game, to the lo- eal drive. The chamber of commerce re­ ports that the "March of Dimes” campaign here is being accorded favorable results. Complete tabulations on the re- eipts will not be available until early next week, Smith said, add­ ing that if present indications are to be considered, this year’s affair may more than equal the 1941 results.
