Why Not PAY RENT TO YOURSELF? o o MEDFORD LUMBER CO. North Fir at 3rd. phone 2249 Acros the tracks from the Fire Department BONNIE LASSIES FOUND TO HAVE Rogue River national forest headquarters said, yesterday that several women travelling in a Bulck car bearing a California license posed as refugees from Scotland at Lake o' Woods and procured "loans" from a num ber of summer residents to bring relatives still in Scotland to this country. When the wo men were leaving they were heard to ask the way to .Med ford, headquarters related. The women gave as security for the "loans" pieces of linen and lace which they said they couldn't sell because they want- j ed to use them as models in j teaching Americans how to make such articles, forest head-' quarters stated. One summer ; resident "lent" one of the wo-' men $26. Several of the resi-1 dents, however, recovered their . "loans" when they reconsidered the stories the "refugees" told and asked for a clearer explan-1 ation. Instead of the pfnk bloom , of a bonnie lassie, the "ref u- i gees" had a swarthy complex-1 ion, the forest office said.
