Modernizing Of Highways Requires $750 Million (Continued from page One) interim committee traveled through out the atate gathering the infor mation needed to draw up a con structive long range program of highway improvement to recom mend to the legislature. Moore went on to explain that the present interim committee was a natural outgrowth of the 1947 committee. Its purpose, he said, is not to gather information but rather sell the public on the program that it has recommended to the state legislature. In closing the meeting, Chairman Moore stated that Douglaa county had one of the best highway pro grams in the state of Oregon. Such a program, Moore commented, is needed in every county in the state if highway modernization is to be carried out successfully. It's Spring Time fer eelnt end welleeeer. Lenje steck.

HERO HAILED Man's Best Friend Aids Fellow Dog SPRINGFIELD. O.-rUPt-k half. and -ha If dachschund-beagle has pretty well established that "man's best friend" also can be the same to one of his own kind. The story is that of FriUy, the half-doxie, and Archie, I two-year-old boxer. Archie owes FriUy nil life and if ever a dog said "thanks. pal" that's what Archie told Frit- zy at a flog hospital here. Five-year-old Bobby Unkel. the boxer's master, let Archie out of the house Monday, April 3. Archie didn't come home that night. Nor the next. Bobby and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Unkei, hunted Archie six days and seven nights. But on Easter morning, Richard Miller, a neighboring farmer, came to the Unkel borne carrying Archie. The boxer was mangled and nearly dead. Miller had found Archie hopelessly impaled oa a barbed-wire fence. Miller said he had noticed Frit zy, his half-doxie, carry her food away each time she was fed. Fi nally, out of curiousity, he fol lowed her. He found out why. She toted her grub straight to the pris oner in the fence. There were enough food scrsps scattered around, Miller said, to indicste the mercy mission he had witnessed was not FriUy's first. And, spectators reported, Fril ly's first visit to Archie in the hospital was a strange and won derful sight. Archie all but hugged her.
