Holiday Season
Three Blocks To Be Criss-
Crossed With Holiday
Lights
LIGHTING OF HOMES TO
BE ENCOURAGED
More holiday lighting will be In
evidence during the coming Yule-
tide season In Cottage Grove than
ever before, if the present plans
of the Boost Cottage Grove Com­
mittee materializes.
While the
plan to be carried out will not be
ax elaborate ax that undertaken
in some localities, committee
members expressed a hope that a
substantial start could be made
this year on what may develop in­
to a real holiday lighting cam-
paign
At the committee meeting
Tuesday evening, it was decided
to criss-cross three blocks on
Main street with strings of multi­
colored lights and criss-cross two
additional blocks with garlans
and other greenery suitabk* to the
occ/tsion.
Holiday lighting in the homin
and on the home premises will al­
so be encouraged with prospects
that prizes wlli be offered for the
best decorated homes or premis­
es. Details regarding prizes will
be announced later. It wax also
indicated that protection would
be offered those who wish to
erect outside decorations on their
premises.
Heretofore some dif­
ficulty has been experienced by
property owners in keeping light
bulbs and other decorations on
trees and shrubbery on Lawai or
on premises, but Iones can be
held tn a minimum on a plan of
protection to be offered in the
next few days.
Merchants are also urged to
decorate and to display their holi­
day wares, starting early in Dec­
ern ber.
Two Brothers to
Meet First Time
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving day will be a very
special occasion at the R. S. Dren-
nvr ranch near Culp Creek, for
Mr. Drenner expects as his guest
his brother, William Samples, of
Stayton. whom he has never
seen.
The men contacted each other
through a third brother in the
east, and found to their surprise
that both were residents of Ore­
gon. Mr. Samples’ son visited the
Drenners several weeks ago. and
the two brothers plan to meet
Thanksgiving day. Mr. Samples,
about 60 years of age. is 16 years
older than Mr. Drenner.
Mr. Drenner, president of the
Cottage Grove Rod and Gun club,
is active in conservation organ­
izations throughout the state. His
home is decorated with wildlife
scenes, and he has an interesting
collection of paintings (his own
work) of the various species of
wild ducks.

Survey Underway
Flood Reservoir
Représentatives of the U. S.
Engineer’» department are mak­
ing a continuation of the aurvey
of what is known ax the Dorena
dam or reservoir and will com­
plete the survey about the first
of next month, if favored with
weather conditions under which
the work may be conducted. The
present work consists of digging
test holes and making augur bor­
ing to determine how far It is to
Ix-drock, so that when and if con­
struction starts, the dam will be
properly located. The prospective
dam site Is near the Mosby creek
bridge, this side of Dorena A
pK lirnimary survey of this site
was made about two years ago.
along with a survey of what is
known as the Cottage Grove dam
site on the Black Butte highway
this side of London. However, so
far as known no further survey
is contemplated on the Cottage
Grove dam site, located about
six and a half miles out.
The present survey in the Do-
rena community or rather the
continuation of the survey has
been underway since the first of
th* month. Those in touch with
the situation feel that the two
dam sites arc practically assured,
however actual construction work
can not start until after funds
are appropriated by congress.
Some believe that once the funds
are appropriated coastruction will
be pushed to completion much in
the same fashion as Bonneville
dam.
Of immediate benefit to this
section is the prospect of furnish­
ing employment to a large num­
ber of workers. Aside from flood
control, the permanent benefit of
these projects is a mooted ques­
tion. The general opinion is that
these projects will be of material
benefit for the irrigation waters
they will be able to supply.
The proposed dam at Dorcna
will back water for a distance of
some four miles, inundating the
canyon land. The water in the
proposed Cottage Grove dame site
will cover equally as much terri­
tory.
BOY SCOUT COURT OF

been practically completed Tues­
day, according to Mrs. Max Bird,
chairman. Lloyd Griggs, in charge
of the drive for members in the
business district, had reported re­
ceipts totaling $80, and residen­
tial memberships had swelled the
total to $125.50. In addition $10
had been collected in the Delight
Valley section, and Hebron and
Culp Creek sections were yet to
be heard from.
Last year the total receipts in
Cottage Grove totaled $115, this
year this sum has been reached
and passed, with the drive still
incomplete.

same subject, was called to Rose­
burg by the serious Illness of a
brother.
In speaking of the origin of the
Thanksgiving season, the Rev.
Tilton said Thanksgiving was the
season ‘To think in retrospect
over what we have to be thank­
ful for." Touching briefly on some
of the recent world events, the
speaker said that the American
people were in danger of losing
some of the things “we have to
be thankful for.”
He suggested three necessary
things in the rehabilitation pro­
gram of thanksgiving. 1—Try to
improve the things we believe to
be wrong without too much com­
plaint. 2—Try to find all of the
things to be thankful for. 3—
Share good things with others.

class of the Cottage Grove high
school will present the weekly
