Grading and Bridge
Construction Begun
On Widening Project
Construction work has begun on
widening the west side highway
99 between Camp Adair and Cor-
vallis. Graders are at work, as are
bridge builders, along with survey
ors and engineers.
E. C. Hall was awarded the grad
ing contract. He is the man who
has the grading contract on the Cor
vallis airport south of Corvallis,
on which job he is associated with
J. C. Comptpn. Mr. Compton has
the paving contract on the present
highway job, also.
The roadway will be widened and
■Straightened. The hill just north
of Lewisburg is being cut away by
heavy equipment and a dangerous
curve will be eliminated there.
Bridges will be rebuilt to accommo
date the wider highway.
The highway will be 22 feet wide
with 10-foot shoulders on either
side, according to engineers on the
job here now.
Traffic will be maintained, the
engineers say, although it may be
necessary to drop to one-way traf
fic part of the time, especially at
the location of the three bridges
being rebuilt. The present project
includes nearly six miles of con
struction and will be completed to .
Harrison street i-t (4nrvallis. The I
job will be finished about August ; i
15, engineers estimated yesterday.
B. O. Johnson is the resident
engineer representing the state
highway commission. M. W. Moore
is the bridge engineer. So far. there i
are three crews at work, the grad- :
ers on the Lewisberg hill, excava- '
tors on the Lewisberg bridge, and !
the surveying crew.
“One way traffic will be less I
troublesome than usual," Mr.
Moore, bridge engineer estimated
yesterday, “for the reason that
most of the heavy traffic on this
highway now. that to and from
camp, is one way mostly already.
It's heavy going north in the morn
ings going out to camp, and then
normal again until shift closing
time in the evening when traffic
is about 90 per cent going south.”

CAMP TRAFFIC IS
BEING STEPPED I P
Rush traffic in the late after-
noon at the close of most shifts
has been cleared up materially
during the past fe«v days. At
the last check by the U. S.
Guards, the area was cleared in
28 minutes.
This record was six minutes
faster than the best time there
tofore and the guards are well
satisfied with the showing. Such
movement of traffic is only pos
sible through the help of every
one concerned, the guards say.

“L.. ———.
Col. D. Mac Callum, camp 5un>
geon for Camp Adair, arrived this
week from Ft. Lewis. Wash., and
is organizing his detachment here
for service at the camp. Col. Mac-
Callum was a divisional surgeon at
Ft. Lewis, and hails from Los An
geles and the California National
Guard, of which he has been a mem
ber since his cominp west to Los
Angeles in 1926. He has traversed
the ladder from the bottom during
that time, serving in each rank to
his present colonelcy.
Military experience of the new
camp surgeon has not been limited
to the medical corps in the army.
At the age of 20. he served as a
second lieutenant of infantry in
the first World war. and although
not overseas, he climbed to the
rank of captain in the reserve corps
before completion of his medical
degrees and his entrance into the
: medical corps of the California Na
tional Guard. He also completed
advance courses in machine gunnery
1 at Augusta. Ga., during the other
war period.
“My infantry training and ex
perience have been of infinite value
to me in my medical corps work,’’
Col. Mart’allum said yesterday, in
discussing his army service. “I
wouldn't take anything for that
experience, and it undoubtedly was
of value to me in attaining promo
tions along the line.”
Col. MacCallum organized a
medical regiment in the California
Guard and was its commanding of
ficer until its dispersement in a
j new organization of forces when
i the outfit was inducted into federal
service in March last year. He wax,
thus, the regiment's only command
ing officer.
When his regiment was divided
into battalions in the new organiza
tion, his “boys” presented Col. Mac-
Callum with a fine watch, inscribed
with his individual service record
with the regiment. He has a high
sense of pride in thia former com
mand and believes they will acquit
themselves admirably in active
service, although they an separated
into battalions, he says.
As a medico, Col. Mac Callum
possesses the highest quality of
educational and professional equip
ment. He went into active service
last year with the California Guard,
leaving a post as head of the de
partment of anatomy at the Uni
versity of Southern California, on
a leave of absence for the dura
tion.
Prior to his association with
U.S.C. in 1926, he served on the
medical school faculties of both the
University of Chicago and the Uni.
versity of Wisconsin. His medi*
cal degree is from the University
of Chicago and he also has a Ph D.
degree in anatomy from there. He
attended the army's Field Servic«
school at Carlisle. Pa., in 1936 and
wax graduated from the advance
<. nurse there.
Col. Mas-Callum's family includes
a daughter, 12, and a son, 3. They
are at Ft. Lewis with Mrs. Mac-
Callum, and the colonel hopes to
have them down here within a
week, he s^s. He has found a
home on Sunset Hill, Corvallis,
which will
