About Town
Ordinance Against Jay Walking
City officials call attention to
th»- fact that th«' new traffic lanes
painted with yellow lines are a
reminder that there is an ordi­
nance against jay walking. When
a pedestrian steps from the curb,
a car approaching the traffic lane
is supposed to stop until the
pedestrian reaches th«' half way
mark across th«' street. Warren
Edwards, mayor said Monday that
plans had lat-n made to point traf­
fic ianes across the highway on
Mom street.
Mah Survey On The 13th
Apparently neither Warren
Edwards nor Ival Humphrey of th«'
Humphrey Row River Grocery
have any superstitions as they
took an airplane trip on the 13th
over the high Cascade mountains.
Edwards said the purpose of the
trip was to make a fish survey of
th«* high mountain lakes. The two
men hopped into a plane at the
B. & H. Flying field and were
piloted to the fishing country,
flying over (’recent lake, Diamond
lake and Waldo Jake, the biggest
lake in the Cascade country. Be-
lieve it or not. but Waldo lake was
1 still frozen over they said. In
addition to the frozen lake they
found lots of snow.
Another Surprise Package
Gene Ware of the Community

so much comment had been created

drop another surprise package this

this kind of a stunt attracts the crowd,
regardless of whether any particular
