LEGAL'
Report Made
On Bond Sales
At the finish of the third week
of the opportunity drive, which
ends on June 30, the people of
the state of Oregon had pur
chased a total of $5,419,399 or
55 per cent of the assigned
quota of $9,790,000, according
to figures released by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank for the period
up to and including June 4.
For the week ending on that
date, Oregon people purchased
$506,610 worth of E Bonds, or
approximately the same figure
as they had bought the week be
fore.
Sales in Marion county last
week were $22,015, according to
Sidney L. Stevens, county chair
man. To date, our county has
sold 43 per cent of its assigned
quota.
According to the county
chairman, every effort will be
made during the next three
weeks to place this area In the
! forefront among Oregon coun
ties when the final figures for
the opportunity drive are in.
He asked that employers who
have not been approached up
until now by volunteers, get in
touch with him In regards to
ways and means of installing
the pay-roll savings plan if it
is not now available, thus mak
ing it possible for new em
ployee groups to begin building
reserves for themselves and the
community through the opera
tion of this automatic plan for
buying Uncle Sam's bonds.
Arthur Schaefer Is
Kiwanis Speaker
Lebanon "What we need to
put the Cascade Freeway into
an actuality," said Arthur
Schaefer at the Kiwanis lunch
eon, "is more unity within the
Willamette valley, and especial
ly unity in great numbers."
Schaefer is president of the
Cascade Highway association
and a member of the State bank
board in Scio. He was here on
behalf of the association to pro
mote interest in the freeway
which would pass through Leb
anon on its route between
Springfield and Portland.
"There is a definite need for
this highway," said Schaefer,
"which should be apparent to
anyone residing in the valley
The road is to be four lane with
emphasis on utility for-traveling
up and down the valley for
those who have already seen the
scenery and want to get some
where in a hurry," he said.
One of the largest bottlenecks,
he added, is Linn county. The
other counties concerned, Lane,
Marion, Clackamas and Multno
mah, have gone on record fav
oring the freeway and are ac
tively engaged in promotion and
legislative lobbying for it.
The Cascade Highway asso
ciation was formed, Schaefer
stated, in 1930, only to lose iner
tia and die out before end of
the war. Since then it has been
reactivated and is busy organ
izing communities directly af
fected by the route.
Just north of Hubbard the
highway is to cross 99E through
Wilsonville, up through Tigard

Vacations that bring enjoy
ment and relaxation are one of
the best aids to good health. If
you plan such a vacation with
care, and then not let your en
thusiasm run away with your
good judgment you will avoid all
those painful annoyances like
sunburn, sore muscles, and skin
poisoning which spoil even the
best vacations.
A physical examination is a
good way to start vacation plans
for then you will know exactly
the state of your health and th
kind of vacation that will do you
the most good.
Always carry first aid items in
case of emergency.
