Swimming Classes Will Be Held Here June 16-30 Buses Will Bring Youngsters From Medford for Red Cross Instruction At a meeting of the Junior Red Cross committee held recently in Ashland, it was decided to spon sor a “Learn to Swim” campaign, and Robert Dodge, chairman of the Water Safety committee, an nounced this week that the course of instruction, led by a qualified swimming instructor from the Red Cross headquarters in San Francisco, would be held at Twin Plunges in Ashland, from June 16 to June 30. This will be the first such course offered in this county since the summer of 1942, it was stated. The course is free to all children of the county, and only a fee of ten cents per day will be charged for each pupil to defray the expenses of the pool. Each child is asked to pay the ten cents per day. Arrangements have been made for buses to bring children iron Medford and other county points for the course in swimming here. At the meeting of the Lions d a b Thursday evening, it was voted to set up a fund to pay the ten cents a day for those youngs ters who cannot afford to pay the fee asked.
