It will be the first time in many years that Ashlant has not had a celebration. This is disappointing t( hundreds of people throughout southern Oregon ant northern California who have counted upon the pro gram here as one of the highlights of the year. Man’ of these Ashland patrons, feeling the urge to give out ward expression to their patriotism, will go elsewhere this year if their tires are sufficient and gas sales art not too restricted. On the other hand. Ashland’s facil ities for picnic parties—namely beautiful Lithia Park, will be the focal point for large numbers of citizens who feel they can observe the nation’s birthday just as fittingly in a quiet manner and who can thank Goc they are Americans just as fervently in its matchless surroundings. With no thought in mind of violating the war de partment’s wishes in the matter, we would like to of fer the suggestion that the Municipal band play a con cert during the afternoon and that an impromptu pro gram be conducted for the benefit of those desiring that kind of a celebration. This requires no advertising, no drive for funds, and in the long run business con cerns will benefit about as much as they usually do. If it requires a war to arouse our patriotic fervor we should make the best of it. ★ ★ ★ W SALVAGE WILL WIN THE WAR—MAYBE!

QUESTIONS * ¥ JOBS FOR EVERYBODY ¥ * FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS * no other institution has as many “fair weather friends” as the church. You know the type referred to: the Christmas and Easter churchgoer who want to be remembered by Santa and those who want to display their new spring wardrobes. They are the ones who have little to give to the church and expect a lot in return. Most of us overlook the fact that the church stands for the same thing that our government is fighting for today. That is for the principle of freedom—the right tj ERHAPS ¥ TJ’ORTUNE smiled on the young people of this sec- tion when the war department decided to build a cantonment in the Rogue River valley. School doors of the county had scarcely closed when scores of young' peeople, boys and girls alike, flocked to the orchards, to the cantonment, into the forest service and various other pursuits, where they are making wages beyond their fondest dreams. It may be a dream from which they will shortly be rudely awakened but the sensation is one that they will not soon forget. For many of the recent high school graduates this means an opportunity to continue their pursuit of knowledge in institutions of higher learning and for college students the assurance of continuing their studies. It is gratifying to witness the manner in which the young people seized this opportunity to help carry on. If they but realize that it is an emergency and that the present era of high wages must of necessity be of short duration they will be better prepared to face post-war conditions, which, if history is a criterion won’t be good. b portant link in the chain that eventually will bind the Axis powers in impotency. Currently, the nation is involved in a drive to sal vage old rubber. Everything from old tires down to grandmother's old hot water bottle is being gathered up and toted to the receiving stations and the outlook is good for staying the gas rationing order at least until after the Fourth and possibly until summer va cation season is past. The drive has netted a few shek els to individuals making the effort to gather up the Salvage and this has spread the benefits in several directions. MRS.
