Last week the last man of the
40-man crew left the valley and
now the camp is deserted and
locked up for the winter, Joe Al-
hova, bookkeeper of the camp left
last Friday and this completed the
vacancy.
Rae Philbrick, superintendent of
the camp this year, accomplished
a great deal of work, in fact it
is the most productive yc*r of any
40-man crew of the past.
Miles of road work was accom­
plished which will make it easier
in future years for other crews to
reach forest fires. Bridges built,
the most outstanding one being the
large bridge across the Illinois riv­
er near the bottom of Eight Dol-
lar mountain.
Most of the personnel of the
crew were college men, and this
work helps them get through their
college years.
A large number
of the boys this year were here
last year, and we hope they will be
able to come again next year. How­
ever, most of the boys had to regis­
ter, and this may change the per-
sonnel of the crew next year.
Mr. Philbrick is on his way east
to report to the department and
while there will pick up his new
automobile purchased through Des
Byrne and drive it home. Mr.
Philbrick is by far the most popu­
lar superintendent the crew has
ever had in the valley, and the
people here hope he will be back
next year.

Flag Day was fittingly celebrated in Cave Junction when Glenn Morrison Post of the American
Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary dedicated a new flag and a large flag pole rtcently erected in front of
the American Legion hall in Cave Junction. The local post has always wanted a large pole and flag and
now they can show their colors whenever nectssary. Cut is courtesy of the Grants Pass Courier.
Drainage
Will Be
Completed
Word comes from WPA head­
quarters in Grants Pass that a
foreman will be on the job Wed­
nesday, November 20th to help
the local donated help finish the
city drainage project. This date
is definite and all those who have
promised one or two days work
must be on the job Wednesday
morning with a pick and shovel
and this work can be finished in
one day.
The State Highway commission
has the tile pipe on hand for the
rest of the main street, and this
will be finished as well as the lat­
eral ditches in the back of the
main street.
We have only 19 days promised
and we need 25. Who will help,
this work along for one day, Here
is the list of those who have signed
up for work or will hire a man
to take their places:
Illinois Valley News, 2 days.
Bert Watkins, 2 days.
Art Drews, 2 days.
G. W. Martin, 1 day.
Elwood Hussey, 2 days.
Sam Smith, 1 day.
L. E. Bidache, 1 day.
C. Y. Arnold, 1 day.
W. F. Darger, 1 day.
F. G. Fagnant, 1 day.
O. W. Green, 1 day.
Dr. E. E. Brooks, 1 day.
Tom Davis, 1 day.
This makes a total of 19 days.
We need 25 days, or 25 men to
finish the work in one day. There
are many men who should be will­
ing to donate a days work on this
project in order to complete it.
Six more men for one day each
will do the work. Don’t be bash­
ful boys. Come to the News of­
fice and put your John Henry
down for a day.
There will be some work done
on the West Side road immediate­
ly after the drainage project is
finished, and then the crew will
move to Deer creek where the Deer
Creek road will be improved to
Dryden.
This project has been
written up, but the papers must
come back from Washington, so
'8 will take a couple of weeks be­
fore the Deer Creek project is on
the calendar, but the engineers
seem positive that it is all right
■ind are making their plans ac­
cordingly. After the Deer Creek
■•oad is finished, the entire crew
will move back to the West Side
highway and complete this much
needed work.
If you can’t work and want to
help, get a man to work for you
and pay him for the days work.
Many of the business men of Cave
Junction are going to do this, for
they, themselves, could not leave
their business.
This is the last information we
can give yoi< before November
20th. So please do not let this mat­
ter slip. Remember the date, Wed­
nesday November 20th, and the

WHAT THE LEGION
AUXILIARY IS DOING
The Legion and Auxiliary cele­
brated Armistice day with a 6
o’clock dinner at the Legion hall,
67 attending, followed by a pro­
gram. Guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Gray and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bab­
cock.
The program opened with a
speech by Pastor Gray. Command­
er Akerill gave a short talk and
our President, Lucille Arnold gave
a speech of welcome. Blake Mil­
ler, in charge of the entertain­
ment, called on the acting Ser-
geant-at-Arms to call the roll of
all veterans of the valley. Then
the Commander put them through
some of their old army drills, which
proved very amusing to the audi­
ence. Mrs. Babcock was called up­
on to play some of the old war
songs. This was enjoyed very
much. Dorothy Martin of Kerby
gave an accordion solo. Old time
and modern dancing was enjoyed
to the music furnished by the
Owen-Hill Billy orchestra.
