Why." said Tom, In explaining
the situation, "the pavement out
there la so bad that on 11:30 New
Year's eve as we started to as
cend this certain hill we decided
we couldn't make It and turned
back to town.'"
Fie. lie. Tom. You're not the
only party who couldn't get home
on New Year's eve. We could name
Just dozens of them around Here,
But they don't go and complain
to the county court about it.
Now that the Wickersham com
mittee has reported, we suggest
that Mister Hoover name another
coinmk&ion to find out what the
report means.
Sportsmen held an oyster ban
quet at Jim Linn's place last night
and looted around ior a couuie oi
hours doing It. Sort ol an oyster
loaf, as it were.
It's a good thinj to have
sportsmen get together over
food once in a while. That'i
the only way Oiey ever will
get together.
We can't heln but wonder whe
ther the oyttcrs were caught by
salmon eggs or flies. That ems

According to a report a lot of
people are now going over to the
West Salem btore for their water.
That's good for the Oerth, anyway.
But it Just shows you what
municipal ownership can do. Bince
Salem voted to buy the water
plant we haven't heard a kick about
Little Algae, bum water, or any of
the diverse and sundry complaints
so common to past winters.
It's the old story. If anyone fig

becomes a little better than any
thing anyone else owns.

How far did the commission

'The statement this morning in

Neither the chairman nor any
