FOTTHTiSEW MEDrORD (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUKE Tuesday.

Deadline Nearing ; The primary election falls on May 16 this year, and the dead line for registration is April 15, two weeks from today. , Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Hopkins also suggested that it would be helpful if employers would join in encouraging voter registration and would give their employees time off to register, if necessary.

County's Barbers Study 5-Day Week Jackson county barbers are discussing the possibility of adopting a five-day week, it was reported here today by Cecil McDonald, president of the Jack son County Babers union Barbers in - Klamath county recently voted to adopt a five day week beginning April 7. McDonald said he believes a ma jority of barbers here favor such a plan. Where barbershops have adopted the shorter week, the extra day off has been Monday, allowing a long week-end. Mc Donald said about 75 to 80 per cent of Oregon shops are now on this schedule. A majority of those in California and many in Washington are also said to be on the short week. Barbers favoring the change say it would eliminate many idle hours during week-days.
