A popular cartoon feature appearing currently in a
monthly magazine reveals humorous and obsolete laws
which are buried in local and state law books. These
provide many a chuckle; however, it is less amusing
to find recent and apparently worthwhile regulations
also buried and forgotten.
The seemingly forgotten rule brought to mind is
that of the bicycle ordinance which two business men
reported to have seen violated five times in as many
minutes one morning last week. The main offense
seems to be that of driving on the sidewalks. With
these experienced young cyclists, it may not be a haz
ard to maneuver about the downtown sidewalks, but
if the car and tire shortage forces some of us old birds
to resort to a bike again, there will really be a hazard
to threaten Ashland's safety record.
Aside from the safety angle, it does seem that these j
bike riders with their operator's licenses should feel
some responsibility towards maintaining the regula
tions governing their driving.

LEGAL NOTICES
The January 28 issue of the Grants Pass Courier
pays high tribute to the hundreds of civilian aircraft
observers who have been giving freely of their time
since the first weeks of the war.
Herein we quote part of that editorial entitled
“Waiting, and Waiting, and Waiting”:
“As their eyes sweep empty skies by day, and their
ear*’ strain through the nights for the sound of distant
motors, our aircraft observers here in southern Oregon
may be forgiven if they wonder now and then what's
the use of it all.
“A patriotic duty is no task when it brings thrill
and action; but when it affords only waiting and
watching and listening in the rain or the cold and little
results to show for it, then it’s all duty and no fun, and
the men and women who perform this task have earned
the thanks of every one of us.
“They, with our Pacific Fleet presumably in far
distant waters, are the vital outposts which must func
tion first, before the warplanes which are our chief
defense can rise from their bases and attempt to con
tact the invading bombers which one day will attempt
to make a holocaust of our forests and factories.
“If they fail to detect the first sign from that inva
sion, when it comes, then our Pacific coast defenses
will be powerless to prevent scenes here that we once
thought could only come to England. It is for that mo
ment that the observation post waits.
“Do they think it is useless? Perhaps many of them
do, but the Army does not.
“The air force has its bases ready, and its formation
of pursuit ships poised for the summons. It has its
bombers assembled here on this coast, and its stores
of bombs prepared.
“The army is waiting, and working while it waits.
Our civilian observers are waiting and watching.
“Theirs is the duty to see that we, that all of us
are placed on the alert when the moment of danger
comes. “Theirs is the necessity, more than anyone’s,
to ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’.”

SOMETHING REALLY
We have just received a new set of plans
designed for “Convertible Defense Hous
ing Units.’’ Starting with a small unit of
one room the plans provide for expan
sion to two rooms, then three rooms and
eventually five room modern cottages.
The planning is carefully worked out
and the units may be built to use later
as garages, summer cottages or duplex
es. If you contemplate any speculative
building for defense these ideas will in
terest you.... Or if you plan on building
a home for yourself and wish to start
small with a pre-arranged plan for fu
ture betterments we know you will want
to see these plans.
