Several petitions are, or soon will be, being circulated to have more names to submit to the voters. 1 hat, as the Pilot sees it, is a healthy sign, and should be en couraged. This act will not be construed by the commit tec as disapproval of the effort put forth by the com mittee. BUILDING PROGRAM TREMENDOUS A trip, in any direction, about the area convinces one of die tremendous building program under way here. The sights you sec simply amazes you of the growth and beginning of greater growth of this community. It is impossible to vision what the next six months or year will bring to the vicinity. All places selling anything which go into a building program tell the Pilot that their big problem is keeping materials on hand to meet the demand. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Brawn of Portland were weekend visitors of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Phillips. La Verne Mendenhall returned to the naval base at San Diego Tuesday.

OTHER CANDIDATES TALKED Thursday, August 16, 1951 BULB GROWERS Just Received Shipment CULTIVATOR SWEEPS & ROW MARKERS By Dewey Interest in the forthcoming city election gratifies me tp no end for it is the healthiest sign in my way of thinking. Differences of opinions are always good, when these differences are within reason. This interest points to me that out of the election will come a council which will be a credit to any town, for it will not be of one single opinion. A council, to be worthy of the name, should not always agree on all points. No man is that in telligent where he is not helped by suggestions. Yet, on the other hand, it will be bad to get on the council five men who would al ways be at odds on most ques tions which wil confront the city LL gov*ernment. The job which faces the first council will be tremendous. Re gardless of what they do, some one will be out with opposition, out to stir up dissent among the citizens. There should be on the part of the citizens, an under standing of the problems which face the council, and a willing ness to assist. Think oft the many demands which will be made upon the new council. The first year, not too much can be expected for lack of funds. There can be but a mini mum of street work, or any like improvements. For conveniences, little may be expected until next year, and then only so far as the voters are willing to pay. However, there will be many ordinances to enact, such as zon ing, police, parking, health, and such. This is a must for the first council, because it was for these that ^incorporation was voted. There must also be traffic ordi-\ nances regulating speed, and re-' stricted tones as near schools.\ Batter DAVIS TRUCK & TRACTOR Your International Harvester Dealer RUMMAGE SALE AUGUST 24 10:00 A.
