in the old uduge that a bird in

We doubt if there Is any way to
compel the highway department
to put up money for a project
they don't like. They might turn
around und put the highway en­
tirely out of the busines district,
and brother, should that happen,
Ashland will suffer. We have
known of a few small towns that
were ruined because the highway
or railroad wus rerouted away
from them. Soon another town
grew up along the new route,
leaving the old part of town to
depreciate and even disappear.
Let’s get the Plaza project first,
and later maybe something else
can be done about the other mat­
ter.

ASHLAND, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON IHURSDA Y, OCTOBER 18, 194$
Work Starts on Building on
Plaza far Weitzel's Store
¡Paper Drive Ends
ouccessiully Thurs.
Roland Harks, principal at the
Junior high school, reported this
week that the paper drive, which
ended last Thursday was very
successsful, with 50,480 pounds of
paper turned in .The drive was
entirely under direction of the
Junior High school this year.
The drive developed into a
race between rooms to get the
largest amount of paper, and fin­
al recounting showed Miss Ken­
nedy’s 7B2 room ahead with 8500
pounds and Mr. Mittag’s 8B3 se­
cond with 5300 pounds. Some
$300 will be realized from the
sale of the waste paper and will
go into the student body fund to
be used for school needs.
“The students and the faculty
wish to thank the townspeople
for their co-operation,” stated Mr.
Pdrks.
