tained. Bill Reeder was chosen
president of the association and
Mrs. Ralph Coates, secretary.
A public relations board was
formed with Phil Engle as chair
man, Dave Gelvin and Shade
Combs being the other two mem
bers. The first matter brought to
the attention of the members
was a statement that no lighting
of the new bridge has been
planned, and that construction
work had been halted Jfor the
past week but was to begin again
Monday.
Further plans were made for
the Rogue River merchants' ad
vertising program on KUIN daily

nounced he has received the
baseball uniforms and plans on
having three R's sewed on them.
The first two letters represent
the words "Rogue River." He
asked members to suggest the
third word, and he stated it will
not be "Rats." No name was de
cided on and the public is in
vited to send in suggestions to
post office box 425 or address
them to the Rogue River Busi
ness Men's association.
Suggestions for the good of
v.the city came so fast that Reeder
called the members to order by
blowing the large wooden
whistle which had been fur
nished and properly inscribed for
the occasion.
While other cities are smiling
Rogue River is whistling because
they have some choice indus
trial sites they are sure will be
needed when the Rogue basin
development gets under way in
the near future.
