About 20 members of ihe Wheelers, Swif tans and Road Knights marched by in front of us out at the Camp White drag strip, each introduced himself and some even ducked their heads in what passed for a little bow. And there stood Pot pourri, quite unprepared. for all the ceremony and wishing we d worn something better than our oldest cotton dress and dime store earrings. And taken more The young men for the most wearing gleaming white shirts down. We got up nerve enough white shirts" and he answered rest, but I iron my own." Anxious that the reporter should learn all about drag racing, which the club members think Is misunderstood, they assigned Clarence Zeitler to answer questions and give us information. Which he did. From time to time Monty Wray or Jerry Lausmann or Fred Greene would wander young men, who know an amazing lot about cars and who have a genuine respect for a car, both as a source of pleasure or as a death-dealing instrument when improperly used, are banded to gether in a fraternal spirit. They work together on the cars and Some cars have two or more owners in some cases one member owns the engine, and the body Before breaking into print, Potpourri meant to do some re search and determine the origin of "drag," but didn't find the time. Those we asked why the unable to say for sure. It does the fact that drivers first raced between stop lights, and the word lism for street or road. But Potpourri hasn't yet found anyone who knows why or how this use originated. ' . Potpourri and pappy went to had to mop off the seats because land just before curtain time. Luckily it didn't rain during the play, and this was the only rain of the season. Seated next to us were the parents of Rosalyn Newport, who had come all the way from Kansas to see their daughter in the festival plays. Mrs Newport, arranging newspapers on the wet seats, remarked "It hasn't rained in Kansas for so long that I hardly know what to do." She said no measurable rain has fallen in their section of the state for five years, and that ground. We told her of our pet dream the new festival theater in Ashland, it will have one of the big plastic domes which we once read about. They can be folded back when the weather is fair, or rolled over the seats and stage when the weather is cold or stormy. We hope no one ever persuades the Ashland festival authorities" to and build a modern-type playhouse as has been done in Stratford, Conn.. Stratford, Canada, and Stratford-on-Avon, England. An English girl who visited earlier this summer, and who on-Avon, declared that she was sorry the English had contructed a modern theater and added "Imagine, I had to travel from Eng land half - way around the world to see a truly Elizabethan theater." Earlier this year Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times described the new Shakespearean theater in Stratford, Canada, saying that when it Is completed, it will cost $1,500,000 in Cana dian currency. Of this, $1,360,000 has been subscribed by the Canadian government, . the Ontario Provincial government, foun dations, corporations and friends. Stratford, contributed $140,000, or $7 for every man, woman and child in the small town. If the people of Jackson county could raise as much, it would mean $420,000 for the Ashland festival. We can just imagine the joy which that much money would bring to Angus Bowmer and others who can scarcely wait for the day when the much-needed new theater is a reality. y Dr. Edna Landros, former head of the foreign language de partment of the University of Oregon, who visited in Medford recently, has a delightful sense of humor. Her friends repeat her remarks with relish, and her Medford hostess has fun telling about the name Dr. Landros gave it "The Fir Cote." O.S. ROGUE RIVER Hobby Club Meeting Held Br MRS.

Three Drag Race Clubs Work For Highway Safety Contrary to what many be lieve, members of the three clubs which make up the South ern Oregon Timing association do not spend their time in crazy driving on the public streets and highways which make them a menace to their fellow motor ists. On the contrary members of Road Knights, the Swiftans and the Wheelers conduct su pervised races on a concrete roadway in the Camp White area' which they call a "drag strip" and they endeavor to pro mote safe driving among them selves and the general public. The clubs, which average about 25 young men each in membership, meet weekly and each has a corps of officers. They have club insignia, and they carry on civic work, such as marking of hub caps in such a manner' that the owners may claim them if they are lost or stolen. The clubs have the ap proval and cooperation of police officers. Club members are pledged to help a motorist in need; if they stop on the highway and help change a tire or tow a car, they hand to the motorist a little card which says "you have been help ed by a Road Knight (or Swift an or Wheeler). " The association carries on an extensive publicity campaign among 50 newspaper and radio stations from Seattle to San Francisco, informing the public of proper drag racing and its safety campaign. Club members operate concessions at the" Camp White races and take charge of car parking. Attendance at races runs into the thousands. If a member is arrested for a traffic violation, the club fines him in addition to his court fine; if his violations persist, he will in all likelihood lose his mem bership. Fraternal Spirit A fraternal spirit Is evident among the drag racers. Each club and each member has work to do, and they take pride in their respective jobs, and in helping out another club mem ber. Readily admitting that drag racing was first started by young men, sometimes unruly ones, 1 We Give GREEN STAMPS If Your Credit Is Good It's Good at Pick's .

" Mm Sunday, September I, 1937 who raced on public streets and highways, the club members are proud of the fact that they have "graduated" from . this phase. Racing has been held at the Camp White strip for a consid erable period now and the clubs hope to build a bigger and better strip before long. They are proud of the fact that from racing of automobiles has come many ideas for improvement of engines and car bodies, and that many safety features first used on racing cars, are now stand ard equipment. They cite the case of the safety seat belt which was first used by race drivers and is now found in many family cars. The padded dash is another instance. Safety Stressed Southern Oregon Timing as sociation officers say that no one has ever been seriously in jured in racing on the Camp White drag, strip and they cite the record of the National Hot Rod association which says that only eight drivers have lost their lives in the entire history of hot rod racing. Cars are checked for safety before each race,- and safety measures are enforced on the strip and for spectators. Officers Named Officers of the Wheelers are Gary Shaffer, president; Bill Clegg, vice-president and secre tary; Charles Hewitt, sergeant-at-arms. Swiftans have as offi cers Noel Black, president; Mike Russell, vice-president; Bud Golden, secretary-treasurer and sergeants-at-arms are J a r a d Black and Guy Parker. The Road Knights, an Ashland club, is headed by Charles Dean, pres ident; Don Coghill, vice-president; Ken Greiss, secretary and Dee Hillberry, treasurer. These men want to interest the public in attending the drag racing events, but are more in terested in educating the public out of the idea that drag racers are lawless or irresponsible.; OS.
