7 RedCrOSS
- Activities

While the attention station at the
depot did its full share under Mrs
MaXey's able direction, in represent
ing the local Red Cross last Wednes-
day when the troop trains went
through, the amount of willing help
accorded her and the Red Cross on
that auSpiclous day in receiving the
boys was in marked contract to the
usual situation on such occasions.
Mrs. MaXey has sent in the following
plea for a continuation of the same
spirit shown this past week through
out the year:
"Now that our own, our brave
Ashland boys, have been so well and
lovingly remembered, let us not for
get the strangers in our midst. Re
member that strangers, perhaps in
strange lands, will have to minister
to the comfort of our boys, and let
us do for others what we hope will
be done for ours. There is a commit
tee working at the attention station,
appointed by the Red Cross and the
government. These ladies are work
ing by rules from Washington, D. c.,
and while they look after the COM
fort of the boys in many ways, re-
spending to calls day or night, rain
or shine, they need the help and do
nations that have been so cheerfully
given by the Ashland people. This
help may be given by sending reading
material, magazines, etc., and fruit
of any kind If you have donations
to make, call up F. E. Watson, Mrs.
MaXey or Mrs. Everton and they will
be called for and taken care Of All
persons wishing to leave packages or
to visit with the boys are cordially
invited to come into the attention
station at any time.
Mrs. Denton has given an addition
al $780, making s. in all, for the
purchase of apples for the troop
trains, and they will be distributed
under the direction of Mrs. Maxey.
The director of military relief of
the northwestern division, A. R. c.,
has approved Mrs. Maxey's suggestion
of first aid kits for the men of the
fighting forces when en- route.

Peoples Forum
Not PrO-German.


Editor Tidings: With the desire
that we may not be misunderstood,
we wish to say that the International
Bible Students are not opposing the
war measures, but affirm that for
them to participate in war would be
violation of their own conscience
which would put in jeopardy their
eternal destiny and welfare. The
government has recognized the fact
that there are such persons as con-
scientious objectors when 1t provided
for their exemption under the select
i've draft act.
1t is preposterous to suppose that
the l. B. s. A. is pro-German when
its members first suffered martyrdom
at the hands of the German autoc-
racy. Over one hundred have been
shot for faithfulness to their re-
ligious convictions, while many have
disappeared and their fate unknown.
Now are we to be misrepresented and
meet similar fate at the hands OF
people who have always upheld the
constitutional right of worshipping
God according to the dictates of ones
own conscience?
With charity to all and malice to-
ward none, we wish to be known as
conscientious, law-abiding followers
of the Great Master, Christ Jesus,
with whom we have covenanted to
do His will.

One of the most pleasing enter

six grades took this means of raising
money to enable the schools to be-

assembly room was filled with an en-
thusiastic audience who gave the lit
tie performers rousing reception at
each number. The program consist
ed of drills, folk dances and songs,
and all were carried out in way
which showed much effort on the
part of the teachers in preparing the
exercises and attention among the
little ones in presenting them. A

by score Of so to 10, and the score
of the second at Medford Saturday
night was 32 to IS. The first was
fast, clean game, but Medford
changed her tactics the following
evening by playing the man and not
the ball, and the game was rough.
Medford played practically every man
they had during the game, trying to
stem the attack. Ashland's soft toss
ing, the stellar work of the two
guards, Burnett and Clary, together
with the shooting of "Dick" Bryant,
were responsible for victory.
The main features of the games
were the floor work of Ashland's tall
center, Bill McMillen. Medford
thrust three fresh centers against
him and he succeeded in outplaying
all of them. The work of Burnett
and Clary was the best of any this
season, as they allowed their for
wards but one basket each, and broke
up nearly every play Medford started.
Provost and Frazer each played a
splendid game.
Ashland high won IL out of IL
games played in the Southern Oregon
League, and by virtue of winning
these games holds the championship
of southern Oregon. The Medford
girls claimed both games from Ash
land.
