They reported that there are at least 25 women in Ashland who are interested in joining in the league program.

The expert ence derived from participat ing in the Medford leagues program would be a valuable move In the direction of ulti mately establishing a separate league in Ashland, it was said. The Importance of bringing the league's program to the attention of all women in the valley was mentioned repeat edly. The fact that more wom en than men voted in the last election, the role bein'g play ed by women in the current reorganization of county gov ernment and the increased contribution of women to gov ernment at all levels were cited as reasons for adding to the league's membership and extending the scoue of its in formational program. In this connection, Mrs. Logan point ed out that the fact that one of the nation's two women United States senators is from Oregon is particularly en couraging and could be used by the league to interest all women in the things they can do to further the cause of good government.
