COAST REGION
During the past week or ten
days Oregon’s, coast region has
been visited by the worst storm
period that has been known here
in .the past twenty years. Ex
treme tides on the, coast, high
winds' and torrential rains have
combined*to cause heayy damage
along the coast and for some dis
tance inland. Highway, telephone
and electric power crews have
been kept busy, clearing fallen
trees and repairing washouts, an
the highways and replacing brok
en poles and wires of the tele
phone and electric lines.
Sunday afternoon the wind
reached hurricane proportions
and the highway between..
and Otis was blocked in ma’nÿ'
plaees by fallen trees and tele*
phone and light poles. The Will
amina and Sheridan lights were
off for several hours white the
crew were trying to repair the
damage, and it was a.case of now
we have, now we haven’t until
Tuesday night, when something
like normal service was restored.
Also a crew of ïnenLhas been
kept busy removing fallen timber
along thé Salmon River cutoff.
M. PeterSen, our (frand Ronde
. eorrespondent, senda the follow

cinity: Part of the roof was blown
off his house; as was the the roof
of Wm. Langley’s house. Joe
Dolp lost part of his orchard.
The roof was blown from the
Leonard Quenell residence and
the family took refuge with the
Petersens. Sheds at Jack-Fair-
brothers’ farm were, blown away
and the barn is leaning about 45°.
The lorregated roof was. blown
from the George Bohn barn. The
windows at the church were
blown in and the chimmey de
stroyed, causing about $300 dam
age. Part of the front was blown
in at the Jack Whalan store, and
th at and the Wilson store both
lost thèir signs. Electric lightand
power was out of commission for
over 48 hours.
Willamina escaped with dam
age to a few roofs and signs and
a window blown in at the Val-
liere real estate office. Also, as a
result of the storm the city water
supply was short for a few days
due to trees fallihg on the pipe

HIGH SCHOOL
ÖÖerry Christmas!
f UCH is the old, old greeting that is
ever new which will sooft be heard on every side in this community.
I t is the greeting between individuals, between friends and business
associates; it is the greeting which
will hear frequently in our chibs
and societies and civic organizations, in our churches and our schools.
On Tuesday evening the first
and second basketball teams pi
Dallas high school came'and met
the first and second Willamina
teams on the local floor. Both
games resulted in victories for
the visitors.
A fortunate audience enjoyed
an unusually pleasing musical en
tertainment Wednesday night,
December 20, in the gymnasium.
The following is'.the program,
which was very capably directed
by Mis? Graham: .

feeling o f sharing in the Christmas greeting which comes from them.
B ut there is one institution whose interests are the interests o f the whole

devoted to serving the interests of all. T h a t is the H om e Town Newspaper.
A welcome visitor into the homes o f this community; a messenger bearing
news o f community interest; a chronicler o f the joys and sorrows and of
the trials and trium phs o f its people; a mirror held up to reflect the daily

So,through what more appropriate medium than the H oineT ow n News

are happy to have the privilege o f saying to you all: " A Merry Christmas.”

Mrs. John' Shetterly last Sat
urday entertained at a birthday
party honoring her husband’s
mother, Mrs. Luofia Shetterly,
who was passing the 8tst mile
stone of life. Other guests were
Mrs. Jennie Barber, aged 87,
and Mrs. Hattie Lockhart. Mrs.
Olive Hussey was also invited
but, to the regret of all, was
unable to be present.
For years Mrs. Shetterly has
made this an annual affair,
when these four elderly ladies,
friends of long standing, meet at
her home for a birthday dinner
and a Visit together.
The delicious birthday cake
served at the dinner was made
by Mrs. Jennie Barber, who has
been totally blind for the past
several years, but who is so sweet
ly patient in; her affliction that
she is an inspiration to all who
know her.
A pleasing feature of the day
was mention of the party and the
dedication of the KGW “ Cheer
io” program to Grandma Shet-
terly by. Clarence Tolman of that
radio station. KGW is always
obliging in mentioning events
regarding its listener?.
