I Gateway to The Oregon Caves A LIVE WIRE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE INTERESTS OF THE ILLINOIS VALLEY AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS Volume III, No 22 Cave Junction, Oregon. Thursday, October 5. 1939 Price 5 Cents T WPA Pioject To Give Employment Word has been received that the work on the Happy Camp road, a WPA project will start in the very near future. This work necessitates labor from the valley that is signed up with the county relief agent. There is quite a list all ready signed up. but so many have left the country and have other jobs that it will be necessary to have more sign up for this work. In order to take advantage of the work, one must have lived here three years and out of work. If you can qualify for this work, come to the News office and we'll get you into Grants Pass and sign up for this work. If there are some people in the valley who can take a car load of men into Grants Pass on next Wednesday, please let us know, as we have made arrangements to have the men taken in to the agents office on tht day. Men who want to go in should also come in and make arrangements for the trip. This road is vitally necessary, and we should not take a chance to let pass by. but if there are not enough men signed up, we will not get the work lone. Don't pass this by as a trifling matter. It is very serious and everyone should be vitally interested. Help us get the men to Grants Pass to sign up for this work. Mrs. Stevenson has designated next Wednesday as the day she will see the men. and this is an off day for her but she has kindly put herself out to help this section, Wednesday is not her regular day in the office.
