Stow’s Sign Copied In Magazine Delegations Call Road Work Being Done Near Kent Some work is being done on the projected road east from Kent to the John Day river. County ma chinery was in the south end of the county ready to work on the Bourbon-Kent road which was de layed. Residents of that district offered their work and the county machinery was taken to the head of the oanyon end put to work. Some grading and bull-dosing was completed and it Is possible that a passable road will be opened before work steps. SPEA K ER URGES S A F E T Y John Kerrick, speaker from the office of Earl Snell, secretary of "State, recently completed visits to 4 high schools which took him rom Helix, above Pendleton, to Portland, showing two short movies which emphasise important safety essons.

Road matters were uppermost in their minds. W alter Blau, L. P. Haven, and Cecil Fields appeared to ask that some graveling be done on Market Road No. 7 near the Haven home, as that stretch of road has an al kali base and is hard to gravel when wet. I t is a short stretch. Tom Douma, Mrs. Frances Hen- richs, Orlo M artin and R. W . Bel- shee ask that a new grade be made on the Martin-Henrichs road aa R is impassable during the winter and no school bus will travel it. Tom Douma said that if a new route was wanted through his place he would interpose no objection. Possibility of getting some route around the McIntyre bridge was al so discussed. The Erskine road, siibject of much debate, was represented by a delegation of nearly all the resi dents of that district. Roy Powell, Caroll Sayrs, Jess Landry, Omer Sayrs, C. R. Morrison and L. R. Conlee, W. A. May, W. T Balsiger and H arry Peterson representing business men asked that toms of the roads to that district be im proved. I t was agreed that the roads are now well graded except that they are hard to stay on in the winter time when it is wet. Gravel enough to make a surface in the center of the road was asked by several. I t w m stated that this district has paid $8000 in road taxes fo r the. pest 20 years sad obtehMd'Httte road work, while doing much work themselves. Light Gravel Asked I t would be acceptable to the residents if either the main Erskine road bo graveled and one of the oast-west roads be graveled or that the three east-west roads to Moro be improved. L e u than two miles additional gravel would be needed for the latter proposition, it w m said. Kenneth M artin and Clarence Lafoon, who have been active in promoting the road along the ra il road track between Kent and Bowr- bon appeared for that route. The right of way is still held up and it is possible that the M artin chil dren will be sent to G ra u Valley IiIBLCwu OI j V-BT iv BnCX vfMv tnO KOA(1 east of Bourbon will be graded and Improved to facilitate thia cahnge. John DeMoss Mked the right to put a cattle guard across the road running to Nish from Deflfioss and making other changes in the road. Consideration of all these propos als was promised by the court whose members stated that the road program for 1938 w m not as yet made up. Appointments made by the county court Thursday in their second day of the January session were as follows: Fair Board, O. G. Sayrs, T. M. Rolfe, and O. G. H il- derbrand.
