Commencement
It s always a sad time tor the seniors of the high school and the col
lege when spring and commencement come. It’s commencement for
sure.
To some of the students it means merely the ending of high school
and a three month vacation before college begins. To the majority ir
means the end of school and the commencement of work. To all it
means a greater responsibility, a flight with their own wings.
Jefferson
I t ’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about the fine state
of Jefferson. W hat has happened, we wonder, to all those political pion
eers who were out to carve out a new state, a 49th commonwealth,
from Southern Oregon and Northern California.
Sometimes we think they were on the right track, and we almost re
gret that they didn't get the job done. Just think of the fun that would
have taken place when all the communities in this proposed state re
gion started slugging it out for the honor of being the state Capitol.
School Elections
A small number of voters turned out Tuesday for the school budget
election. These days this is to be expected. Some day, however, some
quietly operating anti-school expansion group will swarm to the polls at
the time of the annual school budget election and cut the school ap
propriation to zero. It can happen here, and it would be a sad dav in
deed.
Six Per Cent Limitation
•
That the growth of the city of Ashland has caused a drain on the
city’s financial resources goes without saying.
The addition of the Bellview area has brought the community more
land and more people but not more money. Under the state laws of
Oregon a municipality cannot in any one year exceed by more than I
six per cent the previous year’s budget. This City of Ashland, like!
many other Oregon cities has found that the high cost of operating a '
municipality has increased faster each year during the inflation than
a mere six pier cent.
If this community is to have good roads, good water, good sewer
systems, a first class police and fire department, one of these days it
will be necessary for the people to go to the polls and vote the city
fathers an OK to exceed the six per cent raise over last year’s budget.
That particular election isn’t too many years away.

Old Fashioned Fourth
Ashland’s plans and preparation for an old fashioned Fourth of July
are now well underway.
For many years now Ashland has been known as the community in
this area where July Fourth is still July Fourth.
W e’re glad that this is true. Ashland is each year getting more recog
nition for it’s varied recreational programs, and a Big Old Fashioned
Fourth provides recreation for a lot of people.

Christmas
Seems right now as though Christmas is a long ways away. But it
will be here before you can say "Jack Robinson.” Might be a good idea
to get a committee together and begin laying out plans for this
seasons city decorations.
The Christmas decoration committee could set up prizes for the
best decorated business block and the best decorated store.
Last year the heavens cooperated and the season was blessed with
snow, the finest decoration of all. This, however, happens only once
every fifth generation so we can’t expect it to happen again.
The Southern Oregon News Review is planning to hold a residence
contest and will give prizes to the three best decorated Christmas homes
in the city. More about that later, but keep it in mind.
The National Scene
Threat of war seems to have diminished lately. We’re glad that it
has. Although the Russians are still proving to be hard-headed and
obstinate about portions of the no blockade pace, and Vishinsky is
giving the three representatives o f France, England and the United
States fits at the Paris conference, there seems to be a let-down in the
tension which his been so apparent for the past two years.
The Berlin blockade, which was broken by the United States air
foroe, did quite a bit to put the Soviets in the shade. They aren’t
t j t si i''k-s’ir. about th .ir strength in Europe as they were.
This show of force and strength in the air has been a good thing.
It has proven to the people of the world that the United S tet’s is
planning to accept world, not regional, responsibility.
