MARION, Dec. 19. An excep
tionally big attendance enjoyed a
splendid program at the Marlon
Community club meeting Tuesday
evening. The program was pre
sented by tne Benner family of
Salem who are very interesting en
tertainers, there being no dull
moments In the program. The club
was also addressed by C. A. Bear,
president of the Turner Commun
- lty club, who with a delegation of
about 25 members of the Turner
club, was present.
The matter of improvements In
the road between Marion and
Turner, which Is rutty and full of
water holes during the ; winter
, months, was discussed and it was
.decided that the.Turner and Marl
'on clubs would unite in an effort
to secure action by the county.
Some years ago a special tax
was voted in this district for Im
provements to this road and the
Marlon-Stayton road and It was
the impression of a large number
who were present at the tax meet
ing that these roads were to have
been paved and in fact about a
mile and a half of paving was
laid, but during the past few
years nothing more has been done
although almost a yearly appeal
hag been made to the county that
this paving be completed, but to
no avail.
This road is a main through
road serving considerable terri
tory and there is no question but
that this road should be completed
and to this end the south of the
county is beginning to unite.
