PARK SHOULD PROVE POPULAR
y^SHLANDERS might as well make up their minds
right now to stay home and enjoy their own shade
this summer. With thousands of new people in the val­
ley, many of them living in trailer houses and cabins
out in the treeless area bordering the cantonment, the
city park will be about the most popular spot in all
southern Oregon. Not that it has been otherwise
throughout the years for people of neighboring towns
and counties, but this year there will be a pressure
behind the rush to the park hitherto unknown.
In this connection, it might be well to state that the
swimming pools will prove popular. Entertainment fa­
cilities will be at a premium. Ashland has quite a lot
to offer and with proper management can take care of
a goodly share of the new business already developing.

are going to be scarce. Immediate
curtailment of production of all '
portable lamps has been ordered,'
and the use of metals in their
manufacture is drastically limited.
Flashlights will be wearing new-
style cases, too, because all the
usual metals, like chromium and
nickel, have been prohibited for'
this use. Overworked plastics will'
probably come to the rescue.
