Record Number of Souvenir Programs
Printed by NEWS for 1952 Jubilee
The fifth printing of the Illinois
Valley Jubilee souvenir prograin
which was completed Monday
Aug. 4 by the Illinois Valley News
will be available for local distri
bution within a few days.
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.

the meeting was attended by
Mayor Frqd Salvage, councilman
Sherier, councilwomen Farlien,
recorder Hubbard, Bob Rausch and
Clem Arnold.
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.

JONAH WAS A PIKER!
14 Whales Sighted by Illinois Valley
Fishermen OH Rrookings Sunday
Jonah was a piker! 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

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

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

ivities and competition planned.

were all right and since ftie motor
wouldn’t start anyway, why, they
might as well land the fish! Butch
will tell you he seriously thought of
cutting the line and paddling a
way with his hands if necessary,
but when a fish is “on", you just
don’t do that, so he had to be in
trepid against his will!
However, as soon as the motor
would start (and the salmon was
in the boat) and the men could
find their way toward shore out
of the fog, they did. The episode
ended the fishing for the day.
This story is given credence by
the fact that a boatload of seven
other local fishermen saw some
of the 14 whales reported in the
territory that day. Ed McKinnon,
"Mike Wells, Ole Na«*sen, Clint Tre-
fethen, Buck Campbell, Romie
Holzhauser, and Howard Salvage
