Price 5 Cents News Notes of General Interest Garden Club Cave Junction Kerby Contract Let Held Annual Drainage Party Dec. 15 On Again For Bridge Over Illinois The Illinois Valley Garden club held their annual Christmas party last Friday afternoon in Kerby at the I. O. O. F. hall. A very large crowd was expect ed to enjoy this much looked for event, but due to the unusual heavy rains only about 29 were present. Too much credit cannot be given the untiring decorating committee and assistants who worked so hard to gather shrubs, trees, greenery etc., to give the hall such a glor iously looking Christmas atmos phere. Several attractive and cleverly arranged tables were dis played, wreaths, trimmings and mantle effects were outstanding. Groug singing of Christmas car ols preceded the gift exchange. A very special remembrance for the occasion was sent to each member of the club by Mrs. Leo M. Martin, formerly living at Bridgeview but now a resident of Waldport, Ore gon. Not to be outdone in this re spect, Mrs. E. J. Wilber more than surprised her guests by bringing in a large piece of lattice work, load ed with stockings of different hues, lengths and widths, and each filled with gifts she had made her self, home made candy and hick ory nuts coming from Michigan. Later dainty refreshments were served by Mrs. Samuel Smith, Mrs. A. C. Barnes, Mrs. C. Y. Arnold, who were hostesses for this occas ion The January meeting of the Garden club will be at the home of Mrs. George W. Martin on the Caves highway. Good news for Cave Junction. The county court has notified F. E. Thompson, engineer in charge of WPA work for this district at Medford, that they would sponsor the Cave Junction drainage pro ject which the WPA officials re fused recently Mr. Thompson and R. A. Berry, operation superintendent for Jos ephine county were here recently looking the project over. On ac count of the change of hours in WPA working conditions, Mr. Thompson had to change the en tire set up and there may be a slight delay on this account. If everything goes well, it will only take about six weeks before word is received to go ahead with the project. This will give a number of men work and it is hoped that there will be no further delay in getting it started. Mr. Thompson has done everything he could to speed up the work, and is assured that the sponsorship of the county will be accepted by the WPA officials at Washington ------Merry Christmas------ Western Star Chapter Elects 1940 Officers Dave Bour who is quite ill at his home in Kerby, is somewhat better but unable to leave home.

Merry Christmas After a frightfully long delay, the State Highway Commission finally let the contract over again to J. F. Johnson of Newberg, to build the bridge over the Illinois river nead Takilma. The bid was for $12,928. The contract calls for construc tion of a bridge over the east fork of the Illinois river on the county road. Eight bids were submitted, and they were opened June 22. The letting of the- contract fol lows the longest delay of its kind in memory of state highway de partment employes. A few weeks ago the contract was let and im mediately recalled. At that time the record for delay already had been broken. The Grants Pass Courier says that because winter is well ad vanced it is unlikely that construc tion of the bridge will start until next spring. If this is the case, high water may take out the present structure and considerable annoyance and delay in transportation and mail delivery will result. LATER REPORT SAYS CONSTRUCTION TO START The following report from the Grants Pass Courier indicates that construction will start this win ter: Immediate construction is ex pected of the Happy Camp road bridge over the east fork of the Illinois river, according to a letter received Wednesday by 'County Judge Johnson from Secreatary H. B. Glaisyer of the state highway commission, informing him that the $12,928 contract has been awarded to a Newberg firm. Because winter has already be gun it was thought unlikely that work would begin until next spring but Glaisyer wrote that “it is my understading that construction operations will begin immediately. For once County Engineer H B. Brown admits that he has plen ty of road labor. He announced Wednesday that there are now 190 WPA workers employed in improv ing the roads in this county, 20 having been added this week. Never before have there been more than 120 WPA men employ ed on the roads, he said. Those being developed are the Golf Course, Upper River, Murphy-New Hope and Happy Camp roads, with 52 men working on each of the first three named and 34 on the Happy Camp job. ------Merry Christmas------ WHAT THE LEGION AUXILIARY IS DOING The following is a report of the activities of Glenn Morrison unit Kerby for work from September 1 to December 21st: We are very proud to say that we now have our quota for 1940.
