Queen Candidates
Needed for Jubilee
At Jacksonville
Jacksonville The general
consensus of officials for
the coming Gold Rush Ju
bilee is "If you want to get
ntarried, join the queen's con
test for the Jubilee."
This feeling has resulted from
the fact that two proposed cand
idates, both from Ashland, have
dropped out from entering the
contest because of marriage
plans.
Dr. Al Griffin, queen contest
chaiman, would make no state
ment as to any magic in the
connection between the contest
and wedding bells but only look
ed sad and issued a call for more
candidates from 14 to 21 years
of age.
He pointed out that candi
dates may enter without spon
sors and that there were weekly
prizes to be gained, and that ev
ery candidate would receive a
prize at the end of the contest.
Miss Anne Weaver won the
weekly queen's contest ending
July 18 with 22,500 votes. Miss
Donna Schrader was second with
15,000 and Miss Kay Carrara
was third with 12,500.
First prize was a table lamp
from Weeks and Orr Furniture
store; second, a view - master
from Ander's Photo shop; and
third, a slip gift certificate from
Jean Hart's.
Weekly contests include only
that week's vote, while the fin
al contest will be the cumulative
totals for the entire period. Each
ticket sold counts 100 votes.
Rogue River Bond
Election Passes
Rogue River A $4,200 bond
election to install night lights

Friday, according to Mrs. Cloyd
Dick, clerk of school district No.
35. The vote was 109 for and
100 against.

crepancy in posting election
notices.
