DRAINAGE PROJECT
PROGRESSING
F. E. Thompson, district engin­
eer for WPA projects of Med­
ford, and H. A. Fallin, district em-
ployyment officer, were in the city
last Thursday looking over the
work of our drainage district.
He was indeed agreeably sur­
prised at the work accomplished
in the short time the men have
been on the job, and was loud in
his praise for Foreman Jack Dix
who, according to Mr. Thompson
is doing one of the finest jobs of
construction work.
The work was started at the
end of the big drainage ditch that
crosses the highway at Scott’s
Market. When this ditch is fin­
ished the men will start on the
highway laying the concrete pipe
furnished by the state highway
commission. Then they will move
to the east side of the highway and
get the drainage ditches dug for
this section of the city.
The work is progressing rapidly
and Mr. Thompson says they are
doing mighty fine work.
PINOCCHIO
IS COMING
Walt! Disney’s second de luxe
full-length Technicolor production
is “Pinocchio.” an adaption of the
story beloved by grown-ups and
children alike, which was origin­
ally written by C. Collodi.
The story of “Pinocchio” con­
cerns an old woodcarver named
Geppetto who creates a little pup­
pet boy of pine. Because the kind­
ly old man loves children and has
never had any of his own, the
Blue Fairy brings the marionette
to life to be a son to him. But
Pinocchio has to prove himself
worthy, and the story concerns the
many scrapes and adventures he
undergoes before this is accom­
plished.
“Pinocchio” is scheduled for an
early showing in this city.
