TWO MORE SHOPPING May Organize Flood Council Christian Church ___ Since the approval of the Wil lamette valley flood control pro ject, army engineers have spent considerable time in studying con ditions of the basins, especially with reference to the history of all high water marks and fI«xxLs. Unofficial studies of local condi tions have led the engineers to the conclusion that a major flood oc curs hero about every seventy years and is now overdue, while minor floods occur at five-year intervals. Suggestions have been made and discussed in some communi ties relative to forming flood con- ci Is until such time as the gov ernment flool control project is completed. These councils would have an organization that would take over in times of emergency, notify the jxipulation when to evacuate certain areas, would do rescue work and prevent flood damage as far as possible. Logical organizations suggested to take over the emergency work are the national guard, boy scouts. Ameri can Legion or citizens committee. According to records investi gated. the area where Cottage Grove now stands was once flood- <*d under twelve feet of water. There has been considerable argu ment here as to how had the fltxxLs have been and how much damage has been done. Bible read ers will recall there was the same argument in the time of Noah and that when Nr»ah started construc tion on the Ark. his neighbors laughed at his efforts. Well, his tory repeats itself. ___ __________ Bible School to Christmas Tree Present Program Industry A Big One for Section The Cottage Grove Schools, both high school and grades, are closing this afternoon for the Christmas holidays and will re sume sessions on Tuesday, Janu ary 2nd.
