Received by the Portland Chamber
of Commerce for First Fifteen
Days of August.
Thursday last the ladies of the
Social Service Club of Webfoot, in-
culding the children of the respective
families met for a picnic dinner on
the Willamette river at Wheatland.
As the result of an attendance con­
test, one-half of the group of ladies
frunished the dinner for the remaind­
er, and when it comes to cooking
“good eats” they certainly are in the
first row. The baskets were filled
to capacity with an abundance of
everything that one could wish on
such an occasion, fried chicken,
n’everything. The day, being a very
warm one, made it ideal for all who
went in bathing, which included near­
ly the entire group.
Those ladies furnishing the bount­
eous dinner were Mesdames Joe Dor­
sey, C. A. Wilson, Albert May, Rus­
sell May, Fred Lyman, Fred Kuhn,
Will Criteser, J. E. Finnicum and
Rex Peffer. Mrs. Leah Shanks, sis­
ter of Mrs. Peffer, also was present.
Those immensely appreciating the
efforts of the afore-named included
Mesdames J. W. Boundy, A. M. Ver­
non, Del. Morgariedge, J. T. Cocker­
han. For various reasons five mem­
bers of the club were unable to at­

Notify Owner When Damage la Done
While Parked—Select Space
Large Enough to Park.
One form of courtesy that motor­
ists as a group well might display
is that involved in protecting the
other man’s car when pulling into
or out of a narrow parking space,
says Dr. R. G. Moss, director for thia
district of the Oregon State Motor
Association. Thousands of dollars
of damage to automobiles is done in
this way monthly says Mr. Moss.
“It ia unfortunately true that the
careless motorist can 'get by’ with a
great deal of damage he does to the
machines parked alongside hi* own,”
says Mr. Mos*. "Owners of the ma­
chines so injured cannot stand be­
side them all day to check up on the
inconsiderate driver but with the
acute dearth of parking space exist­
ing, it is becoming almost necessary
to do just that if one wants to make
certain that his car will not be un­
damaged.
"As an exhibition of poor driving
and worse sportsmanship, striking a
parked car and failing to notify its
owner, tops them all.
The good
driver does not have to experiment.
He can measure a space with his eye
and if it is too narrow for his car,
he is not foolish enough to attempt
to enter it Some driver*, however,
will try to get into a space that is
too small. They will damage the
fenders of the cars parked beside the
space and then, turn around and flee
when they have made certain no one
has seen them.
“They are responsible only to them­
selves for the harm thus done to their
own automobiles but mangling the
fenders of another man’s car is quite
another thing.
“Of course, there are many acci­
dents of this kind that are forgivable.
These are the ones wherein the of­
fending motorist takes the number of
the other car and reports to its own­
er that he has wrought the damage.
It is the only courteous thing to do
under the circumstances and it is
one form of courtesy that might well
be practiced by every motorist in the
country.”

REPAIRS ON NEWBERG BRIDGE
NOT MADE ON TIME
More Time Has Been Asked For and
Granted—Repairs Are Being
Rushed.
Repairs on the Newberg bridge
over the Willamette river will not be
completed according to schedule and
will probably take about a month
longer. On account of the delay of
starting the work the contractors
have asked for an additional month
in which to complete the work. This
has been granted them.
Piling is being driven as quickly
as possible and the work is going
rapidly ahead. Crews are following
up on the heels of the pile driver,
finishing the super-structure and lay­
ing decking.
Original plans called for the work
on the bridge to be completed by
September 1 but it is not now expect­
ed that the work will be finished until
the early part of October.
