Refusal of permission to all or ganizations of any kind to stage any further drives in The Dalles, until after the big Community Ser vice pageant is put on here May 27, was asked of the board of di rectors of The Dalles-Wasco Counts Chamber of Commerce last night bj a delegation of persons represent ing Community Service. Any furthei drives, with the exception of the Chinese and Near-East relief drive now on, will seriously hamper the presentation of the pageant, as well as other Community Service activ ities, it was pointed out. After some discussion, the direc tors agreed to grant .the request of the visiting delegation and allow no more drives to be put on in this city until after June 4, at least, by which time, Community Service hopes to finance itself. T. A. Sammls urged that the chamber directors take steps to se- rurn a connection for The Dalles with the Ml. Hood loop road, via Mill creek and Brooks' meadows. It is all right for Dufur also to have a connection with the- Mt. Hood loob voad, but I bellove that The Dalles is overlooking a good bet if it does not direct some ef fort to , securing a connection be tween the loop and this city," Sara mis explained. The United States forest ser run pos was vice has already promised to . . i.i i a survey wmcn wouiu uiimo slble such a connection, it b'rought out in the general discus sion which followed Sammls'. re marks. No active work on this pro ject has been started, however. Tho directors decided to wrjte the for estry department in Portland, ask ing them when they will bo ready to make the promised survey. The proposed survey would extend only in tho government forest re serve, it was pointed out, the gov ernment wishing, a road there in nrdor tn lessen danger from forest fires and to make easier accessibility Into the various parts of'tho forest The entire connectiom would .extend from Tho Dalles up Mill creek a short distance, across Mt.' Hood flat 'and then to Brooks' meadows. DISCOVERER OF RADIUM ARRIVES IN U. 8.
