B WEDNESDAY. JUNE . 19(3 MlUtOBD MAIL TRIBUNE, MLDt'OHD, OiUGOM Regional Roundup by Crave Twltchetl Mail Tribune Regional fditer Acting op some of the oburvationi 'hey made on their good will tour to Siskiyou county the other diy, member! of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce are con sidering concrete steps that can be taken to induce more northbound tourists to take highway 98 through Ashland and the Rogue valley instead of highway 97 through Klamath Falls. One of the steps the Ashland chamber's tourist and recreation committee is studying is buying some adver tising on the lone radio station in Mt. Shasta. They figure that such advertising could accomplish two things: 1. reach travelers coming north and suggest taking high way 99 to them before they reach the 99-97 Junction at Weed, and 2. Inform residents of the Weed-Mt. Shasta Dunsmuir area of the beauties and advantages of travel ing through the Rogue valley. The chamberites are figuring on emphasizing the sight seeing and recreational facilities rather than trying to persuade travelers that 99 is a shorter route to Portland than 97. There seems to be much disagreement over which route reaily is faster, and the current thinking is 1 not to bother with the motorist who's interested only in speed because he may not stop and spend any money at all. It also appears Inadvisable to try any persuading with the service station operators in Weed who currently recommend 97 instead of 99, they feel, because the city of Weed will in a few years be bypassed by the Interstate 8 freeway and the businessmen there want to get motor ists accustomed to turning off onto 97 so that they'll continue to do so after the freeway is completed. The Weed program apparently is quite successful. One Ash land chamber member learned from Crater Lake offi cials that, according to a recent check, 82 per cent of cars coming into the park's south gate come in via 97 rather than highway 62. ,. ... w , The Ashland tourist committee has Invited the Med ford tourist and recreation committee to participate in a radio advertising program in Mt. Shasta. The Medford group is now considering the idea. Mrs. Stripling Resigns Because of illness and on the advice of her doctor, Mrs. Charles Stripling has resigned as general chairman of the Cold Hill Odd Fellow and Rebekah Building Fund drive. The drive will be continued, however, and other fund raising projects will be held, since the goal for funds necessary to finish the building has not yet been reached. Mrs. Stripling expresses her appreciation and praise to those who have given so generously of their time and money In this worthwhile endeavor. "A very special thank you Is extended to those friends in Grants Pass, Ashland, Medford, Central Point and Gold Hill," she wrote in her letter of resignation. "It was a great pleasure to work with all of you." Mora Ashland Notts This is a week of reopenings in Ashland.

Dairy Princess Contest Winner To Be Crowned Sunday, June 16 Library Circulation Up At Happy Camp By HAZEL DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent Happy C a m n - Siskiyou County Librarian Mrs. Fiuift Sellstrom and Mrs. Marvel Soule of the library staff from Yreka stated recently that the Happy Camp library now has an annual circulation of more than seven times what It had before a move to new quarters In April of 1962. Mrs. Soule stated that dur ing the 1950 to 1060 fiscal year, the annual clr.tilatlon of the Happy Camp branch was 966 books, with a break down of: adult fiction and non-ftctlon, 713; Juvenile fic tion and non-fiction, 253; and special requests, 110. During the fiscal year I960 61, the annual circulation was 909 with a comparable break down for adult and Juvenile renders, showing that a big majority of the readers were adult. The move of the local branch to another building was made In mid April, 1962, and the total for the fiscal year up until that time was 831 books circulated according to Mrs. Soule, from April 15 to the end of that fiscal year, a little less than three months later, the circulation Jumped to 1,763 books, to bring the total for 1961-62 up to 2,584 books circulated. Of that total 1,658 books were for adults while 935 were of juvenile books. The total for the current fiscal year up to May 1 with two more months to go before the end of the year, stands at 6,984. The most interesting part of this figure, noted Mrs. Soule, Is the fact that Juvenile fic tion nearly equaled circula tlon of the adult fiction. Adult fiction circulated 2,978 books, while Juvenile fiction climbed to 2,425 books during this period. At the same time juvenile non-fiction also was close to the adult figure, with 838 books for the young read ers to 696 for the adult non- fiction circulation. Special re quests during this period to taled 257 books. According to Mrs. Soule, the local branch now has 2,270 books stocked here on shelves, with books rotating rcgulurly so as to have new stock many times of the year. There are also many period icals, newspapers, and maga zines currently on hand for the readers' use in addition to the McNaughton rental books for a small fee and other free library books, While Mrs. Sellstrom was here, the Happy Camp LI brary board met to go over plans for the new library building which will be built this year. Mrs. Sellstrom answered many ques t i o n s asked by the board concern' ing the property and offered advice as to the best way in which to build the building for the best display of books In a small building. The library board plans to build the new building on the former Siskiyou County Jail site, the property still being owned by the county Just to the bark of the high school shop building and school parking iut. The library la now housed in the old jail building which will probably be torn down and replaced by a modern structure. For the past year, the board and Its ways and means committees have been taking part In fund raising drives.
