The 3,000 programs, the most to ever be printed for a Valley Jub­ ilee, were ordered earlier than usual by editor Slim Hamrick this year so about 500 could be sent to nearby tourist centers as public­ ity for the three-day Labor Day weekend event. The Jubilee program was origin­ ated in 1948 and has been publish­ ed every summer sinçe by the Le­ gion, with the advertising and fea­ ture material handled singlehand edly by Hamrick. The remaining 2,500 programs will be available at the Legion grounds during the Jubilee and will be distributed to Valley motels, according to editor Hamrick. Entirely produced with Valley labor in the NEWS shop, this an­ nual largest Valley-printed job of printing this year required the NEWS presses to turn over 66,000 times to produce the 3,000 44-page booklets. Well over one hundred hours of hand work such as fold­ ing, gathering, stapling and trim­ ming were required, mostly done by part-time Cave Junction girls hired by the NEWS. Resplendent in its bright yellow cover, the 1952 program is dedi­ cated to the Ix>wis family, pioneer family who are descendants of Elizabeth Washington, sister of George Washington. Feature ma­ terial in the program include his­ torical items and short sketches of Indian legends in addition to the event by event program for the three days. Ninety-three Valley businesses and organizations contributed to this important part of Jubilee pub­ licity with their advertising. --------------0-------------- Q-X Herefords Win-12 Ribbons Provisions of the city building code passed by the former council were upheld in a special council meeting Tuesday night at the Chas. Hubbard home to consider a -eque-t of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hall to move their accounting building 'o a lot adjoining the bank. The code which is recommended for use in small cities by the Lea­ gue of Oregon Cities stipulates no cons'ruction, renovating or mov­ ing of buildings on Main St. or Caves Hwy. shall be done unless it is made fireproof and satisfies cer­ tain other regulations.

City officials advised all citizens planning construction, or additions to buildings within the city limits to familiarize themselves with the regulations affecting the work. The provisions differ for residen­ tial and business zones. All work requires building, electrical and plumbing permits to be issued by the city. Failure to comply with any provisions of the code constitutes a misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine not ex­ ceeding $500 or by imprisonment for each provision violated. The responsibility for abating the violation when discovered rests with the offender and each day the violation is permitted to exist constitutes a separate offense, city officials warned. --------------o Q—X Ranch Hereford entries in the Josephine County fair brought home the bacon for ranch owner L.

He had only one whale to contend with, but several Illinois Valley men had 14 to worry about last weeken! Those concerned were fishing for salmon off Brookings and Crescent City at the same time the 14 whales were “fishing’’. Butch Hollingshead from Cave Junction, Lloyd Cornett of Kerby and Wier Dixon of Grants Pass came back with a 10 pound salmon and one “whale" of a story. Seems they were about seven miles off­ shore from Brookings in a little 12-foot boat, somewhat lost in a dense fog, when their salmon struck. To those not versed in sal­ mon fishing, that meant the motor of the boat had to be stopped while the fish was landed. Suddenly, instead of a small salmon breaking water, a huge 60- foot whale rose to the surface just 50 feet from the small craft! Now when all 60-odd feet of a whale gets so close you can smell his not-too-good breath, it’s time to find a way out of the situation, but to the trio’s consternation, the little five horsepower motor re­ fused to start. Being intrepid fishermen they decided that as long as Mr. Whale Gen. Rilea Still to Attend Parade; Band Makes Jubilee Plans With last minute arrangements bearing down on organizations and individuals planning to participate in the many and varied Jubilee activities which start in eight days, a smoker was definitely scheduled this week for the first night of the Labor Dnv celebration, Saturday August 30. starting at 6:30, rbe location to be announced next week. Eight bouts between Valley fighteis from two training camps are planned by Hal Moore, Sr., chairman of the sponsoring organ­ ization, the Baldheaded Buzzards. He will be assisted by Ed Cooke. Proceeds will go towards youth guidance. Prospective fighters should con­ tact the trainers, Ted Peckham and Henry Borba of the Wonder Fire­ balls and Johnny Cozad of the Valley Outlaws. The matching will be done by Cozad and Wilson for this opening Jubilee event. A pre­ vious plan to import a big-name referee was dropped because of the expense involved. Encouraging news was received by the Jubilee committee this past week with th«“ information from Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, of the Nat­ ional Guard, that he will be on hand to participate personally in the tabor Day |>ara«le. (Contrary to a previous announcement.) Gen. Rilea will be accompanied by his executive- officer. Major John H. Neilson. Additional news from another element of the national guard was the «lefinite word on the planned arrival of the 234th army ban«! of th«* Oregon National guard which will add a professional touch fo the thre«‘ days of merriment in store for th«1 Valley by performing at "jam sessions” and band concerts for which the group is well known. Fifteen band members will ar­ rive in Cave Junction by bus while the remainder of the 70-piecv org­ anization wall journey via a C-47, landing at the Medford airport. After participating in the Labor Day parade the group will offer a concert on the Legion grounds at a band stand to be erected for that purpose. With th«- opening event of th«* Jubilee, kids games and races, scheduled to get underway the first thing Saturday afternoon. August 30, participants in the var­ ious Jubilee activities are remind­ ed that only eight days remain for building a float, practicing for the talent show, growing a beard ami the dozens of other types of act­ ivities and competition planned.
