BACK THE JUBILEE Members of the American Legion and a couple of other organizations have already begun preparations and plans for what they expect to be the largest three-day Jubilee celebration ever attempted in Cave Junction. The Legion has the task of care fully organizing the details to assure a smooth programming of entertain ment events being brought into Cave Junction from all over the state for the August 30, 31 and Sept. 1 affair. 'file support and unsolicited aid from many Valley organizations and persons is the only guarantee of suc cessful Labor Day weekend festivi ties. Then when the big three days of the Jubilee arrive Valleyites should turn out by the hundreds to compen sate for the many manhours of labor and planning behind such an extens ive event. The Legion is to be lauded for at tempting a show' that they hope will put Cave Junction on the map. We WHAT BREAK? The first break in the turbulent unfortunate history of the city water department came to the city council this week by accident.

Spurred by frantic phone calls about the lack of water pressure, city authorities not only found two dry tanks, but a thick layer of red mud on the floors and walls of the reservoirs, which they now believe to be the source of dirty water periodic ally raising the ire of Cave Junction housewives during the past three months. The town fathers only wish that this was the one and only problem to lick concerning the city’s costly and deficit-operating water system. This important city government depart ment has been the source of so many gray hairs for the five councilmen, mayor and recorder since taking of fice they’ve decided to unload some of the burden on the shoulders of any one who will listen to their tales of woe. By council action, citizens are in vited to attend a special public meet ing July 28 to learn the facts about the department’s stormy past and un certain future. What the Republicans are won dering now is whether the attempt at high pressure politics which beat Sen ator Taft will also backfire for the Democrats in November? 14 YEARS AGO July 21, 1938—Mr. and Mrs. Paul Newlands returned last Fri day from several weeks visiting in Prineville, Oregon, Port Angeles, Washington and Prince George, B.
