OREGON, THURSDAY, September, 7, 1944 Many Soldiers Seek Ashland Schools Start Baliots From County Monday Morn, Sept 11 From all indications, a good many soldiers from Jackson county are planning to vote thi3 fall, County Clerk George Car ter said at Medford. Carter said that 730 applica tions have been received so far for soldier's ballots, with 161 ap plications arriving on one day alone. Ballots will not be put in the mail until after September 27, the last day for candidates to withdraw, or to get on the ballot. The last day the ballots can be mailed out is October 27. If the ballots do not reach the soldier in time for marking and returning to the county, the sol diers can apply for the federal ballot, which will have candi dates for president, and for sen ators and congressmen. The sol dier, however, must have tried to get a state ballot first.—Med ford News. ----------- o ------ — Number 30 Local Church Is Horse Show Is Popular Is Being Improved Monday With Locals Following out a plan of contin uous improvement in physical plant which has included in past years an organ, a new roof, and carpeting of the sanctuary, work men began in the Presbyterian Church Monday to redecorate the interior of the rotunda. The walls and ceiling of the room are being finished in ivory and the material being used is Weath erwood insulating tile board . laid in block effect. * It is planned that this work will not only transform the room in terms of beauty, which is al ready evident, but that accous- tics will be improved and insula- i tion greatly helped. I From the progress already made, it is certain that this part of the church will be again ready for use by Sunday, September 10th, when there is to be a Rally Day for the entire church. The improvements are being made under the competent direction of Mrs. Imogene Smith of Medford who is a member of the church.
