It wasthe most cheering news coming from the Allied high command since hostilities opened December 7. Greatest elation probably was shown by the people of Australia, whose island continent stands in line for the next big Japanese push (if the Allied planes leave them enough ships to transport their troops). Austral ians have been crying for MacArthur since nis un equalled stand on the Ba Cantonment Bus Seems Assured I I Number 12 Efforts of the local chamber of commerce to secure an adequate transportation schedule between ^inland and the cantonment con- fliuction si ve appear to be draw ing to a successful conclusion, with definite service expected within the next few nays. Appearing today before the Oregon Puolic Utilities commis sion in a special hearing in Med- tord is the Rogue Valley Transit company, whicn has applied ioi a francnise to operate to and from x.sniand. Unless unforseen com p ¡cations arise, it is believed that there will be little opposition to the application, chamber olficiais having been informed by the » ac- ific Greyhound lines that "__ tnere is an understanding of com plete cooperation" between the two carriers. Meanwhile, chamber directors have approved an increase in the Budget for the new fiscal year. Additional amounts have been provided for special activities, lu time office help, and a special emergency fund has been set up.

"The disturbing developments in world conditions, and our ac tual entrance into the war, call loudly this year for utilizing Music week and its far-flung volunteei organization to serve a national and international purpose. Noth ing could be more appropriate than to foster through Music week American unity and the co operative spirit-among our Allies To develop this spirit and to help defense needs, two keynotes have been designated for the 1942 ob servance -one, "American Unity through Music." and the other, "Music Maintains Morale." “We believe the two selected keynotes will strike a responsive chord in every music lover, every volunteer worker in the field of music, and every organization af filiated with Music week, whether its interest be of primary or a supplementary character. We are now united in a Joint defense ef fort, and we must make that de- fense sure and powerful. Partici pation in a synchronized Music week, and cooperative action by which it is promoted in the com- munity, state and nation will foa- taan peninsula and the pressure became so great that presidential order tne only authority that could move the loyal general— was brought to bear to get him to release command of the brave little Phiilippine army to a sub ordinate Ox.icer and accept the higher post. General satisfaction was ex pressed among Ashland people when the news came of the gen- erais appointment. It was first learned over the radio and the af ternoon papers earned the full story from Washington. The com mon expression was "Now we’ll get somewhere." That same ex pression appears to have prevailed tnroughout the Allied world, for dispatches from London and else- wnere bore similar statements by entnusiastic officials, men in ser vice and the man on the street. This news coming on the heels -of the naval battle of Java and other events which have not been too cheering to the Allies, has raised hopes tnat the Allied Nations now are ready for the offensive campaign which has been “just around the corner" for several weeks. Third Draft Lottery Coming in line with tne Mac- Arthur appointment was the third draft lottery, which began at 3 p. m., Tuesday with Secretary of War Stimson drawing the first capsul«», numuer 8466? ft was the first of 7,000 capsules to be withdrawn from the famous bowl which was used during the World war drafts and during the call on the nation's manpower in 1940 and 1941. Each pellet contained a number which will determine in what or der some 9,000,000 men—1,650,000 m the 20-21 age group and 7,350- 000 between the ages of 35 and 44, inclusive—who registered on Feb. 16, will be called up for mil itary service. Gas Order Hits Oregon Beginning Thursday, March 19, Ashland motorists, along with all other motorists of Oregon and Washington, were rationed on gas oline. Under the order, the motor ist's use of gasoline is curtailed only by cut deliveries to sealers. Motorists are being urged to ob serve driving regulations more carefully in order to save on gas oline. President Roosevelt has urged governors of all states to consider a 40-mile speed limit law for the duration of the war. On the labor front it was de cided that it would be better to give up the right to strike than face restrictive labor legislation. There appears to be no intention to give up the 40-hour week and time and a half pay for overtime. While all these momentous events have been happening, the Russians have continued to pour4 it on to Hitler's forces, declaring that the widely advertised German spring offensive already has been checkmated. Turnouts Called for Field, Track Squad Turnouts have been called at Ashland high the past week for Che track and field squad, accord ing to Jerry Gastineau who will coach the squad. Plans origins' called for the district field meet to be held on Walter Phillips field but, since the field will not be completed, this has been aban- doned. The site of the meet has not yet been determined.
