The young couple will make “Road To Singapore” their home at Klamath Falls where Saturday and Sunday Mr. Schiro has employment. It may have taken about a m il- lion years for nature to produce the lush tropical foilage used in “Road to Singapore,” coming to the Cave City theater Saturday and Sunday, with Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour and Bob Hope in the starring roles, but that’s only fair when one notes that it’s just 5000 years apiece for 200 Goona Goona girls who appear in the big dance number. There were mammoth banana trees from Tahiti, gigantic ferns from India, palms from Java, rub ber plants from Sumatra, bamboo from the Philippines, Eucalyptus trees from Australia, and various other flora and fauna hanging around on the tropical set. Miss Lamour is the disturbing factor jn the story, for she has Bing and Bob falling in love with her after travelling to the South Seas to get away from the ladies. JAMBOREE BOOSTERS Kerby News Notes of General Interest James Russel, Miss Mary Rus sel and Miss Margarete Russel were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Horn at Maple Court last week. They were formerly neighbors at Los Angeles where the Russel’s reside. On Wednesday they with Earl and Evelyn Horn made a trip to Crater Lake and on the return had a serious accident when their car turned over in loose gravel, in juring Miss Mary Russel. Others escaped with minor cuts and bruis es and a badly damaged car. Miss Russel was taken to a Medford hospital where it was found she had pelvis bones broken in three places and will remain in the hos- oital several weeks.

I For Legion Visit Here & Contest Foi Queen Getting Hot Only six more days and some nice young lady will be chosen queen of the Miners' Jamboree for 1940. Only six more short days girls. Dont let any grass grow un- ler your feet. The one who has lie most abundant display of en- ergy is going to come out with tl e honor of being queen and a andsome prize as well. There will be no published tending of the contestants. No -no will know who is going to win •ntil the verv last minute of the race. The contest closes Wednes day night, August 28 at 8 p. m. The winner will be announced be tween shows at the theater. Fred I.inkhart, manager of the contest says he nqver saw such a close race. Of course he won’t tell us who is ahead, but he did say anyone of the contestants in Cave Junction could get in the lead with just a little effort, it wax so close. What the girls are doing in Hap py Camp we no not know, as no word has come from the contest manager over there, but if we know Happy Camp, the girls here will surely have to hustle to get ahead. The girls in the contest here are Fay Tycer, Marion Mc- Briety, and Alberta Hatley. ------------- o O’BRIEN CLUB MET FRIDAY The O'Brien Woman's club held their regular meeting last Friday at Antler Valley farm, with Mrs. F. C. Stiwait as hostess. Mrs. F. E. Barrett graciously as sisted as secretary in the absence of Mrs. E. L. Oppie. Mrs. Phil Patrick read a splendid letter to the club from Mrs. W. A. Brown, who was an officer and active member of the club, and her letter written on the eve of her depart ure for Los Angeles was filled with love anil good wishes for the mem bers and high hopes for the de velopment and prosperity of the Hub during her absence. She al so thanked the club members for he Five Year Diary, which was their departing gift to her. Mrs. Robert Balxke, librarian, reported the arrival of 40 or more books for the local library. It is due to the efforts of Mrs. Brown that many of the splendid books now on hand have found a home in the local library, where they are in deed an asset to the community. Mrs. F. E. Barrett wax asked by the president to fill Mrs. Galenos unexpired term on the membership committee. Mrs. Galeno’s moving away also left a vacancy on the hostess’ committee which was filled by the appointment of Mrs. Earl Boyd. The next meeting, scheduled for September 6th was previously arranged to be held at the home of Mrs. A. E. Williams, but due to the fact that it would be difficult for her to entertain at that date, Mrs. E. J. Wilber kindly invited the club to meet at her home on that date. Learning that several of the members were with out "Year Books" it was decided to have a dozen more made. Miss Maxine Patrick is to attend to the making. Mrs. E. N. Cook, who recently returned from an extended visit to her former home, told of her trip, and expressed her pleasure at be ing back home. She also led a dis cussion ax to the identification of paper money. Mrs. I. B. Hearing gave a splendid reading by one of the best loved old poets. Mrs. Patrick also read a charming poem. Mrs. Wilber led in games and continued with a review from her very interesting diary. The lad ies are anxiously waiting another installment from that wonderful book. Refreshments of ice cream and cookies were served by the hostess. Anna Stiwalt. ------------- o - - Send The News to a friend.
