TOWN EXPANSION
Cave Junction’s town council
should be given every encouragement
in its consideration of whether to
spend a few hundred dollars on oiling
the most thickly populated residen­
tial streets and a strip on each side
of Main Street.
Probably no more constructive
improvement could be made to city
property than the oiling of these
streets, providing, of course, the
street fund can bear the expense.
The physical improvement o f
Cave Junction should be led by the
betterment of town property, to serve
as a guide to private property owners.
Certainly the obvious growing future
of the town warrants every well-
spent dollar that can be mustered.
Not only is the dust on Main street
and our residential streets undesir­
able to those presently living along
these thoroughfares, but it offers lit­
tle encouragement to those who
might consider moving into town or
building within the city limits.
Cave Junction as an incorporated
city is no passing fancy. Improvement
of its physical property should keep
pace with its expansion and bright
future.
Constructive letter« to the
editor of general interest are
both welcomed and encour aged.
Although the writer may re­
quest his name withheld from
publication, ALL letters must
be signed when turned in.

The inflammable nature of nearby
forests has already been demonstrat­
ed by a small forest fire started by an
unwise smoker near the Oregon
Caves Monday.
Although quick action by the for­
est service prevented much damage,
this early fire should prove an exam­
ple to all Valleyites capable of start­
ing fires—motorists, loggers, mill­
men alike.
Thoughtlessness on the part of any
one of us could start a blaze meaning
the loss in the future of many hund­
red thousands dollars of stumpage
revenue. The lack of adequate fire
fighting equipment in the Valley, oth­
er than that owned by the forest ser­
vice, makes forest fire prevention of
utmost importance to us all.
