W ashington School Ramsey’s Jewelry Store See Crosby Texaco Service for Free Defense Stamps 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. WWW Waiting, Waiting, And Waiting! I 4 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’.” CLUB MET LAST WEEK WHO DO CLASS MEETS Mrs. Gareth Goddard assisted Mrs. George W.

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.
