The plans are for life saving claaai*s in the mornings and other groups In the afternoon ly stood Jimmy in good stead for he "navigated the little old Model T right across the States,” Their route was planned to follow a straight line as much as possible. On the rusty side« of Lazy John are chalked the cities which out lined their route: Memphis, Wichi ta, Pueblo, Salt Lake, Boise, Bend, and Cottage Grove. Eugene thought the thing that amazed most people was the lack of motor trouble along the way. "AU we had to do was tune the coils a couple of times and tighten the brakes.” he said. They also spoke with pride of the excellent gas mileage 30 miles to a gallon on flat country and about 27 in the mountains. After three days in Cottage Grove, the boys were still rather uncertain about jobs. One of the brothers. George, already had a line on a job as choke-setter for a logging outfit. Jimmy was wait ing word on his application as a cat driver. Eugene wasn't quite sure about his future yet. Floyd Githens of the Githens Ford Motor Company in Cottage Grove said he would help them find jobs if nothing turned up soon. When asked if they planned to sell Lazy John. Jimmy said em phatically. Heck no! We plan to give it a new paint job and a new roof. We could pretty it up a little and even drive back to Mississippi again if we had to." George and Eugene were “still doubting." We have started our winter cold deck and we are paying high prices for good sound second and old growth logs. Also buying standing timber near Cottage Grove.
