POSTERS ON
MILK VALUES
ARE JUDGED
SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE GIVEN
AWARDS ON ORIGINAL DRAW
INGS AND CUT-OUTS MAKING
STRONG APPEAL FOR USE OF
MLK-TWO RECEIVE HONOR.
ABLE MENTION.

In deciding upon the posters thai
were TO be awarded prizes at the Fair
the Judges were asked to keep in
mind three points
First, the posters must express IN
one glance the story OF the values
of milk, on which rating of so per
cent was given. 1t was not neces-
sary that the posters be u drawing,
for the competitors were ut liberty
to use magazine cut6uts so long as
they made Il strong appeal for milk.
Second, upon the neatness and at
tractiyeness of the arrangement Of
the poster, 40 per cent was given.
Third, upon the originality 10
per cent was received.
The judges We're rather disappoint-
ed that the artistic endeayors and
originality shown should have to re-
ceive such a small percentage, but as
the committee had announced the
subject and the treatment either to
he drawing or cutouts, so as to make
the appeal or story, the focus point,
the decisions had to be made accord
ingly. However. under such a com
petition. there was a lesson to he
gained in neatness and the arrange
ment of material into poster space,
even If the original drawings did
have to take a back place, Many of
them received share in the honOrs,
through the awards made In the
grades.
Eagle Point sent in number of
good posters. They were not only
appealing and well arranged, but very
original too. AS they were ouside
of Ashland competitors and could not
profit by the theatre ticket awards
there are to be two cash prizes award
ed them, besides the second main
award
The decisions were as follows
three cash prizes to any OF the com
petitors:
First was received bv Ezra Graves
OF Ashland. He arranged a very
convincing poster with a beautiful
Jersey cows head next to o healthy
baby's head and titled ii Foster
Mother" The poster was exception
ally well designed and balanced.
Second, Lois Robertson OF Eagle
Point presented Il good idea well
worked out and appealing She had
boy scout and red cross girl
leaning on bottle of milk between
them and gave the poster the title,
"Brim Full OF Health"
Third, Harland Drue OF Ashland
took a good idea and worked II out
especially weell Of the globe. with all
the countries marked thereon and q
glass OF milk placed on top. Ii was
clear and catching with the inserlp-
tIon. "The Worlds Famous Drink Is
a Glass of Milk" There were sew
eral with the same idea in the draw
ing but not so well worked out.
Tho two special mentions from Ea-
pie Point who will be awarded cash
prizes to make up for the theatre
ticket awards in Ashland were:
First. Opal Turnbough, who titled
her poster, milk Is My Life Saver"
so, OF course, thore was boy astride
bottle OF milk in the sea,
Second, Alma Durand had an es-
pecially we'll drawn poster represent
ing the various foods that are usually
compared to milk to show how much
more we gain through drinking the
latter than eating large amounts OF
some Of the others, such as meat.
peanuts. eggs. etc. Her poster was
titled milk as Compared to Other
Foods"
II would be interesting to note fur
ther the clever titles, ideas aud to
make especial mention OF the other
awards, but not advisable since there
was. as far as possible a first and a
second prize awarded to each srade
In the Junior High school and Haw-
thorne school
