In n e r tub es can be as m uch fu n as sleds, e s p e c ia lly th e big ones. Record fatality rate seen Oregon’s march toward a new r e cord for traffic deaths continued in November with 57 people kil led in 50 reported fatal crashes. The Motor Vehicles Division says the state’s IT month traf fic death toll stood at 690, up 6.3 per cent over the same per iod last year. At least 29 of those killed last month were reported by police Dec. 9, 1937 The city council held their reg ular meeting Monday evening with Mayor R. Y. Neely presiding. Some of the business conducted was: A letter from the Civic club was read, which had to do with rest rooms at the theatre. Af ter discussion it was decided to furnish water to the two rest rooms for $1.00 per month. A new ordinance was passed which provides for a license fee of $50.00 per year for dis tributors placing, punch boards with-in the city and a license fee of from $ .50 to $7.50 on each board placed with dealers. City Marshall Linton presented a census of all chickens, pigs, cows, or other livestock now kept in the city limits. This looked like a joke to some, but it gives the council specific locations and they will be in position to take action should complaints be made and after investigation can de clare them a nuisance and direct their removal. *** Luther Bedorthe and Arthur Vann, neighbors in the Gold Creek District were going from the Bedorthe home to the Vann place last Saturday evening when they were attacked by a buck deer. Arthur had his flashlight and by keeping it’s rays in the deer’s eyes avoided injury. But Luther was thrown across a snag and into the reeds, receiving a broken skin wound on the leg from the deer’s horns and body bruises from the fall. *** Mrs. Grace Bostwick and her daughter, Ruth Lee Beach, had a serious scare last week when their stove fell over. Mrs. Bost wick was trying to stir the fire inside when a leg fell off the stove and the whole thing fell forward onto the carpet. She called Ruth who in the excitement grabbed a rug off the floor and lifted the stove practically alone onto it’s three remaining legs. Miraculously, neither woman was burned nor nothing spoiled by the mishap. to have had seat ‘belts in their vehicles but the belts werfe not in use at the time of the fatal crashes. The November victims included nine pedestrians. Winter months usually are especially hazardous to pedestrians because of early hours of darkness and reduced visibility due to bad weather. M. Petersen says in his social column from Old Grand Ronde: I believe there are millions of apples lying on the ground and still on the trees around Ball ston, Sheridan and Buell, where I was Saturday with Homer Hol man. Let’s take our sacks and go get them as surely one could get them for the asking. The Old Grand Ronde hotel is no more. John Smith lost a valuable dog on the highway, it having been run over by a car. Dan Majors and wife are pro gressive merchants, having stove wood for sale, first growth, at $1.25 per rick. Since our merchants, Melvin Wilson and Dan Majors advertise in the Willamina. Times, their business has improved consider ably. M. Petersen has real estate for sale. He has a forty acre piece on the highway, all fenced, with water, but no house, for $450.00 which is a snap. From the “ TownTopics” social column come: Clifton artd Maxine Huddleston returned to school Monday after an absence of one week. while they were* 1 ill with the flu. Frank Smelser, wife and son were McMinnville visitors Satur day. Mrs. Roxie Mendenhall and son Harold spent the week-end at Bonneville visiting friends and sight-seeing.

Kellog’s cornflakes, 3 for 25?, with a blue crystal bowl free. Uncle Phil says: When you know a man has a disposition like a mule don’t talk about him behind his back. B rrr - Why is it, the most beautiful time of the year is my least favorite? Being the coward that I am, I don’t know Which is worse, being shut up in a house or being half-scared to death riding in the Willys to town! Many years ago, a car skidded into the side of us in our old “ Woody” station wa gon, and I have been afraid to ride in the snow or ice since. 6 This is a wonderful time for the hale and hearty youngsters who spend hours sliding down the hill on Lamson Avenue. The police block it off each year when it snows to make it safe for sledding and youngsters from all over town bring their sleds, chunks of plywood, plastic rounds, and garbage can lids to fly down the hill. Our four offspring used to join them and lucidly, the only one ever in jured was Donna, watching on a corner, and struck by a large rusty tin sign used by a friend. Her chin required several sti tches inside and out, so warn your youngsters to not stand on corners to watch. Right? How are you all coming with your Christmas card mailing? Much better than I am, I hope. I have received four and re turned the same! It will be hard to comply with the wishes of the mailman this year, since most of our relatives have moved to new addresses and I won’t be able to mail early unless I get cards from all of them early. I have started the letters to my friends that I write to just once a year, so, I guess that is some thing. Whoever invented the slogan, shop early and avoid the rush? We did just that last weekend and out came the first of the week newspapers with everything priced from 40 to 8 dollars lower than we paid for them !! It must be the luck of the Irish in me. Drive carefully and God bless you all. the Pest Grand Ronde news b y B e rn e ic e Sdules A re a visitors fu m e d back by snow storm Mr. and Mrs. Milton Clark of Sitka, Alaska, almost flew into Portland Tuesday afternoon.
