Planned
Working on Important Matters
He Wu Not the Lost One
Judge James T. Brand was a guest
at the Lions Club dinner yesterday
and in his talk to the members com­
mended their efforts to secure a coun­
ty aviation field. With the American
Legion, the county Chamber of Com­
merce, the Lions and other semi-pub­
lic organisations working to secure a
flying field, results should be achieved.
The effort is not to secure it for any
particular locality but at a point
where it might serve all of Cooa
county.
f
Another matter brought up at the
dinner session, was that of a bridge
across the Rogue in Gurry. With the
State Highway Cotqmiasion prepared
now to earry on the delayed work, It
la felt that the Rogue ferry is one of
the moot vital points on which its at­
tention should be centered. President
Gant appointed J. E. Norton, C. C.
Williams and Lyman Carrier as a
standing committee to further in any
way possible bridge construction at
Gold. Beach.
It isn’t every boy of six years that
has the presence of mind that Bobby
Gilbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Gilbert, displayed in Eugene last Sat­
urday. He was with his mother at
the entrance to the McMorran A
Washburn store, and be did not see
her as she stepped through the swing­
ing door, while ahe supposed he was
right behind her. When she turned
to apeak to him he was not in sight
She rushed back to the sidewalk but
he had disappeared.
After vainly looking fpr him on the
street »he called up Mr. Gilbert at
the Oabuyn, and the first person the
latter saw when he got down stairs
wae Bobby, sanding in the lobby.
When his mother “vanished.” as he
expressed it, he stopped to think
where the Osborn was, although the
family usually stops at the Eugene,
and then made a straight shoot to th«
hotel. Asked if he wasn’t scared at
being lost he replied: “I wasn’t lost;
you were the one that was lost,
mama."
And there was plenty of traAc in
Eugene late Saturday afternoon.
