THE NEW YEAR
ASHLAND, Jan. 10. With the close
if the holiday season, and the resump
:ion of "normalcy" as applied to prac-
, leal everyday affairs, mutual congrat
ilitionr. are in order over general con
lltions extant on the threshold of the
lew year. Realijlng this pleasing sta
lls, various local organizations relig
611s, educational and industrial have,
jy way of innovation, voiced such con
Sratulatlons through-tbe public press,
nasmuch as' through this channel a
riare extensive 'field is covered and a
arger clientele Is reached.
.Initially the Ministerial1 association
alazes.the trail into the realm of fra
:erali, greeting, its t . president, ' ftov.
harles A. Edwards, sending forth the
'ortowlng kindly benediction:
!'May the blessing of Thy God rest
Llppn thee. May the sun of glory shine
around 'thy head. May. the gates of
, plenty, honor and happiness, be always
pen to "thee and thine. May no strife
disturb thy days, nor sorrow thy
.lights. May the pillow of peace kiss
jj Cheek.: May the pleasure of imag
ination attend thy dreams, and when
:ou aft weary of earthly Joys may the
;tutains of death gently close around
the last scene of thine existence. May
.'he angels of God attend thy bed, and
tjifca care that the expiring lamp of
Ijffe . receive- not one rude blast to
iiHHlen Its extinction." . .
''The chamber of commerce, at the
Instance of L. F. Ferguson, president,
aiid J. 'H. Fuller, secretary, announces
lliat ";We look upon the coming of the
tpe'w ySar with an optimistic eye, and
sense the problems that are to be met
within our circles of commerclality
wil need our undivided attention, as
well as the best Bentiment of the 'pub
lic; for whom we are working, to place
the big things over.
, ."That Ashland holds within the hol
low of her palm the possibilities of
great work and promotion has never,
been questioned. Ashland, directly
through its commercial body will forge
ahead each . year with renewed
Strength and purpose. ; . ,"
' ','With a new born hope for your
prosperity and 'happiness, and a coni
.liniiance of the, good health in the
beat health resort locality In southern
Oregon," v
; Municipally", Mayor Lamkin deliv
ered i his "speech from the throne" to
l)ie, council in person. .; He- reviewed
lle, statUB of '-municipal affairs in ex
tenBO.'.every department working over
time in' behalf of the general welfare.
Revenues of the. city are. steadily In
creasing, and In Jike ratio- its bonded
obligations are as steadily decreasing.
Municipally the financial outlook is
not one of depression even during
Hie- days of readjustment. In the face
of all contingencies which that term
implies. , ; , ' ,
In this connection, certainly the edu
cational factor is not to be ignored,
and Supt. Briscoe adds -a brief mes
sage, congratulatory in sentiment as to
conditions past, present ad future,
epitomizing as follows:
"The dawn of the naleildar year
marks near the end of the first semes
ter of the school year, in which, thru
the hearty cooperation and the earnest
efforts of the patrons, the past semes
ter has been an exceedingly successful
one. The student body is pleased to
note the whole American-like spirit of
the students of the Ashland schools,
and looks forward to the remaining
semesters with thoughts alive to the
education of the scholars. Aud now
that the season of festivities has
closed, the school officials ask the co
operation of pupils, parents, and citi
zens In the work Bide of school life to
the end that the common, welfare of
our people may be best assured.
'UJierefore we wish for all of us not
only a Happy New Year, but as well
a year .in which all pur mutual inter
ests may find the heartiest support."
Opportunely, - the American Legion
is also heard from, and the local or
ganization, which according to the
tenets of the legion, spells "loyalty"
with a capital "L," sends through its
commander, Glenn E. Simpson and his
efficient subordinates, the following
greeting in behalf of the rank and file
wheresoever dispersed:
"Ashland post No. 14 of the Ameri
can legion faces the New Year with
plans for the liveliest and most active
year it has had since its organization.
Included. In these plans are those. of
complete reorganization and the or
ganization or the Women's Auxiliary.
Within the next weeks the member
ship expect to start activities with a
bang and carry on actively during the
'ear- .
"Composed. as it is of the youth of
the city-and community the local poBt,
with its auxiliary, can and will be the
most compact group for the upbuilding
of the community.
"The new ritual and initiation cere
monies of the American Legion are
equal to those of any lodge or organi
zation In the country, and will be a
big factor in making the local post &
real organization.
"It Is the spirit of peace and good
will that the members of Ashland poBt
greet you and wish you a Happy,
Healthy and Prosperous. New Year." .
