J. G. Dayman was elected president
of the Estacada Community club at
the meeting o f the organization held
in the Masonic building Friday eve­
ning. J. C. Moreland wag chosen as
vice president and Miss Maud Sher­
man was re-elected secretary and
treasurer.
A resolution was presented by Ted
Ahlberg which had been adopted by
the Legion in regard to the improve­
ment of the Colton road. The grange
ut Springwater has also passed a sim­
ilar resolution.
A committee to meet with the
county court to tuke up the matter
o f the Colton-Estacada road, was ap­
pointed by the chairman, and this
committee visited County Commis­
sioner W. A. Proctor Tuesday eve­
ning and learned that considerable
work is planned by the court on this
road as soon as the weather permits
Mr. Proctor said that the road from
the bridge to the junction o f the
Elwood-Dodge road was in the pro­
gram this year, which would give
the Elwod people a way to get out
and in.
Mr. Proctor said he believed this
to be the most needed road work in
the county at the present time, and
that the major part o f the construc­
tion of the entire road was to be
finished as soon as the weather per­
mits.
O f equal interest to the people
in this vicinity is the improvement
o f the road between Eagle Creek and
Sandy, which matter was also dis
cussed with Commissioner Proctor.
It was planned to hold a meeting
of the club January 26, but as th s
is the date o f tne meeting of th
Greater Clackamas County Union of
Clubs at West Linn, President Hay
man has set the date o f the next
meeting for Friday, February 1.
The district convention of the Le
gion also falls on the date set for
the next club meeting, and was part­
ly respoi ible for the change o f date.
I’ luns are being made by the com­
mittee in charge o f the meeting at
West Linn. A number of prominent
speakers will be at the meeting, and
one o f the most important features
will be the presentment o f the schol­
arships to the boys and girls o f the
4-H clubs who have accomplished
their achievements in making the 100
per cent mark.
Among those entitled to these
scholarships to the summer school at
the Oregon State Agricultural col­
lege are the winners o f the first
prizes at the county and state fairs;
scholarships offered by the Portland
buisness men through the efforts of
the superintendent o f public instruc
tion; scolarships awarded by the U.-
P. railroad company; those awarded
by the S.-P. railroad, those offered
by the county court, P. T. A., Bunk­
ers, association, Jersey club, Guern­
sey club and Oregon City business
men and other organizations.
Other boys and girls in club work
over 12 years o f age, and who have
their work up-to-date, will be given
the privilege o f attending the sum­
mer school by paying their own
transportation and their board and
room while at the institution. Many
o f the boys and girls are to be repre­
sented at the gathering Friday eve­
ning.
The program committee is com­
posed o f W. R. Abel, Carl Joehnk,
Howard Belton, o f Canby; B. O. Gar­
ret and Percy Caufield of Oregon
