By CARL I. RYNEARSON, Manager Oregon Pacific Highway Association. The most Interesting develop ment in Washington (luring the past week. In connection with pro posed road legislation, was the of ficial release of the MarDonald- Csrmody re |» rt •'Highways for the National Defense.” This is the report for which the way was paved by thia asaociatlon last year, when through the good offices of Senators McNary, Hayden and Ixxlge, the President agreed to re quest such a report from the pub lic toads administration. In this bulletin It is impossible to give mon* than a brief outline of the above report, nor is It pos sible at thia time to secure enough copies of the report to supply all those Interested. Later, when the report is printed Instead of mimeo graphed, It may be possible to se cure additional copies. As many of you know from stories In the press during the l>ast week this report recommends in addition Io funds now available. a|iproprlatlona as follows: Access Hoads. 150 million dol lars; Tactical Roads. 25 million dollars; Strategic Network. 100 million dollars; Surveys and Plan ning. 12 million dollars. Of particular Interest to those Interested In the work of the Ore gon Pacific Highway association la the map attached to the report showing the routes approved In the strategic network by the W ar and Navy Departments. Several changes liave been made on this map, from the 1939 edition of the so-called revised Pershing map. The map attached to the report shows Oregon roads as follows: Roads of First Priority: High ways U. 8. 99. 199. 97. and 30 Ito Portland); Wolf Creek and Port land to Hebo roads; Junction City to Florence Highway; Sections of 101 in Northwest Oregon. Roads of Second Priority: On tario to Arlington (U.S. 28 and S.R. 19»; U 3 . 95 through S. E. Oregon; U S . «6. Ashland to K la math Falla; S.R 42. Roseburg to Coquille; U.S. 99W, Junction City to McMinnville; S R . 26. Albany to Newport; U.S. 30. I*ortlnnd to Astoria; U.S. 101 (Except in northwest Oregon i. Roads of Third Priority: U S. 28 and S.R. 54, Dayville to A l bany. The report, in accordance with the policy of the W ar department does not specify the above roads by their route numbers, but os near as can be determined from the map. the above roads are those specified. The map Is subject to change at any time. Of particular Interest Is the fact that while seven roads are shown connecting (he Pacific highway with coast points, only three roads are shown over the Cascades the Ashland to Klamath Falls rood, U. S. 30. and the Santiam (third priority). Road legislation should start shaping up In committee within the next two weeks, and I will Issue another bulletin as soon as important additional information Is available.

The purpose of the registration is not to call the veterans back into actual war service, hut to obtain If jsissibie the different types of men avail able for defense work.

Townsend Club Closes Drive for Membership 17th 'Hu- Cottage Grove Townsend club closed u very successful drive for new und delinquent members Monday evening, after a campaign of alstul two months adding 191 mcmliers since December 1st. To add interest to the drive, (wo cap tain* were ap|»lnted to stimulate the campaign. Peter Brlttian and Mrs. Annie Petrie. Mr. B rlttian’* side was the winner and will be guests at a covered dish luncheon to be served February 24th at 6:30 p. m. The men will give the pro gram at this time. Elmer J. Kent, president of the local duh and chairman of the membership committee of the first congressional district, gave a report on all clubs In the district, which showed large gains. Some gained more than fifty percent. South Lane Gets Road Machinery James Tedford, road superinten dent of the South Lane county district, received the first of new road building equipment Friday, purchased by the county for this section. The new machine is an Adams grader, the latest type road grader, powered by a diesel mo tor. Additional cquqiment con sisted of two new gravel trucks and a new road oiling machine. The new grniler was tried out >n ’he Black Butte highway, now bearing the brunt of a heavy haul ing program for the Cottage Grove dam. The freezing weather which oc curred over this s i t tion five or six weeks ago damaged practical ly all the county roads, doing se vere damage to some of the sur- fiv-ed roads and as result of in clement weather and this damage, the county road crew is working behind schedule on all road work. The new equipment, however, will be placed in operation us rapidly as possible and Is expected to speed road repairs materially. O f Interest also is the fact that the county rock crusher has been set up In the W alker section and will supply crushed rock for re pairs. TWENTY-ONE EXAMINED. Twenty-one children were given a physical check-up at the Adams school building Monday. They were children from both the Adams nnd Jefferson schools. Thirteen parents w e r e present.
