City employees now receive $72 per month bonus. George Bambrick Press Correspondent THE DALLES CHAPTER No. 9 We sort of came apart at the seams at our July meeting, only four members present. We made a lot of noise any way—looked for the dog catcher to show up while we were having a session at the piano. Next on the list was a picnic at Bear Springs, August 11. We had a good turnout, with several newcomers, and we hope they will become regulars. Hank Simms of the Salem shops came through on his old horse, checking equipment. Hank lost his hat at Dufur. Eleven members were present at the August 24 meeting. Nevertheless, it was a good meeting. Leo Ordway is making his annual tour gathering beer bottle caps. Maybe this chapter should buy an old jalopy, so that the President and Secretary could tour the district and visit the sick folks. There must be lots of sickness around here, as the mem bers don’t get out to meetings. E. H. Woodley Press Correspondent JO H N DAY CHAPTER No. 13 Walt Greene’s oiling crew, Chuck Hedrick’s patching crew, and Ollie Jones’ shovel crew have come and gone. We miss them, but they got away just in time, as we are experiencing some real Willamette Valley weather.
