league's entire program is fi
nanced by local contributions
and is made possible only by
the volunteered donations of
time and money of members
and others Interested in the
league's activities.
The possibility of establish
ing a new league in Ashland
was examined. Mrs. Donald
E. Moore, Mrs. Arthur Kreis
man, Mrs. Fred Neal and oth
ers from Ashland attended the
conference. They reported
that there are at least 25
women in Ashland who are
interested in joining in the
league program. They recog'
nlzed, however, that a larger
group of women must be ac
tivated before a separate Ash
land league will be feasible,
in the meantime, all Ash
land women are invited to
participate In the program of
the Medford league, attending
general meetings and Joining
unit study groups, Mrs. Logan
pointed out that It has been
the leagues experience that
any community of 8,000 or
more population is oapable of
supporting its own League of
Women Voters. 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.
Mrs. Dunbar Carpenter.
president of the Medford
league, brought the two-day
session to a close with a strong
appeal to league members to a crease.

ing citizen and community in

The next general meeting
and luncheon of the Medford
League of Women Voters will
