(UPI Teiepholo) Ashland Chamber Receives Requests For Information Ashland-As of Monday, the Ashland Chamber of Com merce had received 284 re quests for information about Ashland. The Ashland chamber has joined chambers in Medford, Grants Pass and Illinois Val ley in sponsoring advertise ments in Sunset and West ways magazines. The Jackson and Josephine county courts are helping to finance the costs. Velma Jones, Ashland chamber secreiary, reports in formation requests ha'e been coming in as fast as she can asmver them. The bright note, she indi cates, is that between 5 and 10 per cent of Hie inquiries have been asking about Ash land, as a permanent place to live. Such questioning as "What about permanent resi dences?" and "How's the cli mate?" are being answered frequently. Thirty-tour motor clubs from aii paris of the country have asked for brochures on Ashland. They include the Chicago Motor club, Automo bile Association of Michigan, ikMMMkt Sacramento-San Francisco fSKBgT5' '49.60 .,, Coii SP"ng 2-7269 " Your Troel Asen vSSSH WEST CURST RIRLIHES 1 U3CR rpifeS If Fast growing with the West " V"-j ''.' i, ' ?

A Pasa dena, Calif., man wrote "Have camper. Overnight parking?" A Canoga Park, Calif., resi dent requested information on rock collecting possibilities. Another California citizen in quired about gold panning. The prize question io date was from a resident of Bellfiower, Calif,, who asked, "Could you send me information on past beauty contests in Ashland?" However, most requests have been less unusual. Camp ing facilities, hiking areas, trailer accommodations, fish ing prospects, local industry and golf courses are areas at tracting interest. Points of scenic and histor ical interest also attract ques tions. One man sounded like he was ready to pick tip and leave California as soon as possible. He asked, "What are plane and train fares to your city?" ' From Juehitepee, Mexico, came tiie inquiry "Farm land for sale?" Every one of the 284 in quiries has been answered, Mrs. Jones says. Persons re questing information receive a brochure on Ashland outlin ing the city's history, progress and current condition. Other brochures on accommodations and recreational facilities are sent if requested. Many inqui ries have to be answered by a persona! letter. The chamber has hired additional office help to meet the demand. Where will it end? Who knows. Things will be hum ming in the Ashland Chamber of Commerce office for some time if the current number o questions continues.

THEODOHE M, BABTH Bishop cf the Episcspal IHoeese of Tajsnesss iWrsttea for UPIJ Once again the Christian world finds itself in the season of Lent- This seasnn of retire ment and nrayr has its origin in the 40 days of fasSing and eominisnksn with Gad our Lord communion which God our Lurd experienced in the wild erness at the beginning of His ministry. What He did there is what we are railed upon to do in our Lent, It is a time si soul-searching and realign ment of our lives in fellow ship wish God and obedience to Ills will. We speak of She 40 days as His temptation and so it w-. So Lent is tor all ot iis. The Evil One tried to get oar Lord to accept easier, more wssrisi; methods, in the ministry thai lay ahead of Him, "Give them free bread" he said, "or Jiurp off high wails and not he hurt." The people will ioie , and follow5. After all, Jesus wanted the world and sue Devil offered to give it to 11 ;c with aii Ms kingdoms ana the glories of them. But it w.isi',.1 still be the world and the way of peace and holiness He came to brh?g would never come. This problem does r r. change- We dream of b-lt-r Shiiigs for onr personal lives and the live of She wur r. arouiid us. Our Lessf bids us to take stock and examine both our motives and per formances, Gur present day world lays great demands upon us for the careful con sideration of these things. How are we going to solve the difficulties posed by god less ideologies, race tensions; and class and national strife?; Are we going to go on the world s way and fail, or are we going to take the way of holiness and sacrifice by which atone tho kingdoms of this world can be lifted io the Kingdom of God and His Christ?
