Really severe weather will be the only thing that will halt the annual Elks fall picnic at the lodge grounds on Rogue river Thursday evening of this weeic, was the opinion of Ernest Scott, lodge secretary, this afternoon. A special meeting has been called for tonight to discuss the advisability of preparing to move the picnic in doors to the Elks temple here In case of rain. Last year a drizzling rain fell throughout the afternoon but an un daunted committee announced that the picnic would go forward out doors as planned. Beautiful weather greeted the picnickers. Two huge bon fires warmed the crowd at the ath letic contests, and the same plan will be followed this year. Mack Li I lard, wrestling promoter, will probably announce tonight which grapplers will perform on the outdoor card to be presented at the barbeque picnic, It was stated. Fresh and tough after their sum mer's layoff from fighting, CCO box ers will pour Into Medford this week to do battle on the card. The bruised hands and other Injur ies which handicapped many fighters during the spring campaign have completely healed, the lads have been training religiously for several weeks, and all aro In the pink of condition. Several new boys as well as a num ber of old favorites will make thetr appearance on the card. Al Call, Oak Knoll's diminutive slugger, will be hero with his manager, Capt. Hank Phelan, and will probably tangle with Julius Brauh, a green but willing boy from Camp Annie Spring, whom Capt. Harold Capers has entered for the card. From the Lava Beds will come Billy Chapman, an experienced 124 -pound er who will probably mix with Harry Hunt, another newcomer from Annie Springs. Camp Wlmer has promised to bring In a wrecking crew to uphold tho company rocord, while Prcscott's men have been In training and will come down off tho hill prepared to battle for dear old Roxy Ann. roneously Inferred from the affidavit of prejudice motion. 1 The motion reads In part:' "Come now the defendant, J.

(AP) An otherwise quiet meeting of the state board of higher education here today was enlivened near Its close by a sharp objection voiced by B. F. Irvine, Portland member, to the long established practice of holding board committee meetings on Sunday as a ptelude to the Monday meeting dates called for In the by-laws. With some 50 personnel changes and the five institutions and some minor miscellaneous business cared for, Irvine voiced with some heat his feeling on Sunday committee meet' Ings which he said have been used as a "cloak and a shield" for full Intcr iral board meetings, and said this Is partly to keep out newspaper men. Sunday meetings, he added, places the board, presumed leader of youth, In a position of setting a bad exam ple to youth and the state at large. P. E. Calllsteri chairman of the buildings and grounds committee which has carried the brunt of the campus building programs, denied that the commlttco meetings are a "fraud and a pretense" but that ab solutely necessary to the conduct of the bonrd's business. The upshot of the Interchange was the proposal by E. C. Pease of an amendment to the rules and by-laws substituting Tuesday 'for Monday as the regular meeting dates, which vould permit committee meetmss on Mondny. He said that arrangement would suit him better, and probably some other members. The .question will be voted on at the next meeting called for Monmouth Monday. Octo ber 38. when two new Oregon Normal school buildings will be dedicated. Other building and Improvement matters, mostly connected with PWA end WPA projects, took up that part of the board's attention not given to acting on the largest Hat of personnel changes since the annual budget meeting.

S FOR BETTER RELATIONS The question of public relations was discussed at the first fall meet ing of the Southern Oregon Bar as sociation in the Redwoods Hotel at Grants Pass Saturday night.

Delay In court procedure was one thing the attorneys felt brought pub Uo censure upon the profession. It was agreed to map out a program designed to aid in bringing litigation to an early determination. It was also decided to formulate a program in tended to create a better understand ing between the public and the legal profession. The new officers of the association assumed their duties for the first time. They are Frank P. Farrell, presi dent: O. F. Pruess of Orsnts Pass, vice-president, and F.
