MEDFORD M3IL TRIBTJifE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAT 17, 1934. PA"GE SEVEN PLACES REMAIN T0 1 A. M. ASHLAND, My 17. (Spl.) Ilv. members of the City Council roted Wednesday to permit Ashland beer parlor to remain open until 1 o'clock In Mis morning. Instead of closing t 13 o'clock, midnight, while one councilman favored closing at the earlier hour. Members of the Ashland Ministe rial association have urged council men to close the parlors at midnight, Instead of permitting them to remain open until 1 o'clock In the morning, which la permissible under the state liquor laws. The councllmen were requested by the ministers In a resolution for a personally recorded vote on the sub ject. After a conference with beer dealers of the city, five councllmen concluded that the law should re main unchanged and the parlors should be permitted to remain open until 1 a. m. The one member of the council who favored closing the beer parlora at 13 o'clock was Dr. O. W. Gregg. It was generally agreed that the weaker beer, of 8.8 per cent which will be sold in July, would partially solve the principal objections to keep ing open until the late hour. A committee from the council, which met with Ashland beer dealers last week reported that virtually each dealer declared he would suffer severe llnanclal losses If he were forced to close at midnight. The traveling public, as well as Ashland residents, the dealers con tended, would drive outside the city limits or to Medford after midnight, where beer may be sold with sand wiches or meals until 1 o'clock In the morning.

Mr. Sherwood is credited with hav ing valuable experience on the stage through his career In Medford high, Since his entrance he has been a member of the Dramatic club and has taken an active part In their presen tations. He very oleverly carried leading role in the Dramatic club play, Tarklngton's "The Ghost etory,1 given this year. Among his other ac tivities in school hsve been band, or which he was president In 1933; the Latin club, the orchestra and the Studont council. The feminine role opposite Mr. Sherwood is carried by Miss Suzette Stennett, who portrays Vlrgy Maiv nlon, a snappy young miss of 18 who Is quite capable or handling any situ atlon. Miss Stennett has also been a mem ber of the Dramatic club for a num ber of years and played with Mr. Sher wood before In a student body pro duction. She also acted In the Dra- matlc club play, "Mrs. Oakley's Tele- phone." Belonging to the Commercial olub and the HI Times and Crater staffs, she has proved herself efficient in varied lines of endeavor, in sne Latin club play of last year she slso held a leading part. The plot of the play revolves around a newspsper office In the town of Eureka, which Is controlled snd dom- nated by a powerful man called Mr. W&rgrlm. Miss Vlrgy Mannlon Is em- oloved In the office of her brother, who Is the editor. She meets Mr. Samson when he comes to town In the Interests of the Blckley Slogan company which, through the workings of Jimmy, la going to "put aureus on the map." Complications arise when Mr. Samson tries to sell his Idea to Mr. Wargrlm. The play Is being directed by Miss Doris Baler, who Is very ably taking the place of Ralph Bailey, who has coached the plays in previous years High school basketball teams In Montana were divided Into A and B classes for the first time this year, Oar fish, which are unfit for food are despised by sportsmen of Geor gia and Florida because they devour great numbers of game fish. IN SALE TAX FATE (Continued rroi vage one) lis E. Mahoney, young ind militant anti-power trust" candidate, present mayor of Klamath Palls, and former mayor of the town of Tekoa, Wash. Two Withdraw. Although the ballot will carry the names of seven candidates for the Re publican nomination as governor. only five remained actively in the race today. Two had withdrawn. Among those to conclude active cam paigns tonight were Ulysses Grant McAlexander. a West Point classmate of Congressman Martin, and like Mar tin, a retired major-generol. Ms Alexander, who never before had en gaged In political combat, established a precedent In political campaigning by forgetting his adversaries within his own party and concentrating a bitter attack on Mahoney, General Martin's opponent. Many of those claiming political prescience concluded that the Repun. llcan race for the governorship waa a neck-and-neck race between Joe B, Dunne, state senator from Portland, and Rufus O. Holman, atate treasurer. Frank Lonergan, Portland attorney, and Sam H. Brown, Gervala farmer, both atate senators, were making strong closing campaigns, as was Mc Alexander. Mott Has Opposition. James W. Mott, Republican Incumb ent, was opposed for re-nomlnatlon as congressman from the first district (western Oregon) by J. M. uevers. highway commission attorney. Three Democrats, W. A. Delzeu or oaiem, John D. Goes of Marshfteld and R. R Turner of Dallas, sought the nomina tion of that party. Walter M. Pierce of LaGrande, con gressman from the second (eastern Oregon) district, was unpopposed for re-nomlnatlon, but either David F. Graham of Vale or State Senator Jay H. Upton of Bend will oppose him in the eeneral election In November. In the third (Portianoi district, the five Republicans seeking the con gressional nomination were J. E. Ben nett, cltv commissioner; iwuwfc . Stanfleld. who In 1918 was United states senator from Oregon; W. A. Ekwall, circuit Judge; Harry M. Kenin and W. F. Slgurdson. In the Demo cratic field was Walter B. Oleason Democratic nominee for United States senator In the last general election; John J. Beckman, state representa tive; Ralph M. Erwln and G. o. rret. well. t AMERICAN GOLF TEAM PRESTWICK, Eng., May IT.
