WAYSIDE by J. J. I n s l “ep , Extension Agent Traveling the new express w ay south to Salem and be yond is a unique and pleasing experience after all these years fighting traffic on old 9P-K. We used this new high way a short tim e ago when a t tending a conference in Cor vallis. M otorists crossing the river at Oregon City are fif teen minutes from the e x pressway at Tualatin. From Oregon City south the Aurora junction is a convenient ac cess point. It's just five m in utes from Aurora w est to the junction.
