Mrs Leever pointed out that a
well planned, wide choice of en-

thousands of men on leave will be
a definite contribution to the de

Shift of General MacArthur to Pacific Leadership
Brings Cheers From All Over Anti-Axis World
Widespread joy throughout, the anti-Axis world
greeted the announcement that General Douglas Mac-
Arthur, hero of Bataan, had been chosen to direct the
campaign of the Allied Nations in the Pacific area. 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

¿»peaking of the motives back
of xsationai Music week, Mrs. Ep-
ler had the following to say:
Among the keynotes of the past
half dozen years have been "r os-
ter Local Music Talent," "Sup
port Group Music Activities," ana
"Make Good Music Familiar Mu
sic.” In addition, there has been
the permanent objective of pio-
moting American music.
"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
