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. The
Southern Oregon Museum of Natural Resources reopened

mer. Co-operators are David Hagerbaumer and L. I.

summer. The museum is located in the Lithia Auto

ater In Ashland is reopening, following a little more than
a month of inactivity, due to the death of former operator,
Russell Osborn on April 27. New owner of the theater
Is Harry Arnold of Dunsmuir, Calif. He's the fellow
we encountered on the Ashland chamber good will tour
week before last who has been spending some of his time

of the abominal snowman. The Dunsmuir Rotary club,
of which Arnold Is a member, Is eager to Invite Mr.
Blgtoot to the city's Railroad Days parade over the week
end of June 22 and 23. If the hunt Is successful, perhaps
he will arrange a personal appearance for the Bigfoot at
the Varsity.
Arnold plans to remain a resident of Dunsmuir.
Mike Shirar has been named manager of the theatre.
Ho has come to Ashland from Sparks, Nev.

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.

Convene At Rogue River
Rogue River - The Rogue
River Art class acted as hosts
at a quiet picnic on Monday

Highway 99.
Guests were the three art
classes of Mrs. Ruby Twedell,
and were from Medford, Jack
sonville, Gold Hill, Rogue
River, Evans Valley, Grants
Pass and Riddle.
The event was planned as a
joint art lesson and a get
acquainted picnic, but due to
unforeseen circumstances the
instructor could not attend.
and since the membership list
of the classes was not avail
able, the lesson-picnic could
not be cancelled.
A number of paintings done

dell were displayed in the
family room of the Hendry
home and after the potluck
lunch in the patio the group
I viewed slides of famous paint
ings, shown by June Phillips

On exhibit were paintings
of local scenes, floia! and his
torical subjects. A book of
sketches of the buildings of
Jacksonville, done by Mrs.
Eva Whitney and a group por
trait being painted by Mary
Schrecengost of Schrec's
Clothing store, added variety
to the exhibit.
The subjects of the portrait
are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
Alexander and son John, now
on a four year world cruise
in the 42 foot ketch "Sea
Fever."
Mrs. Schrecengost is work
ing from photos taken in

The reminder was issued
