Chuck Taylor has been able to enlighten us on the story of the turtle which was found by the etty park last weak. It was a present from him to his grandchildren over a year ago. His gradnchildren are Daniel, Ricky and Karen Custafson, children of Rich ard Gustafson, local Crater chemistry teacher. The distinguishing feature of the turtle is that he w ill eat from your hand. He was lost sometime last fa ll. No one knows where he has been hiding out since then, but has been returned to the own ers, and a ll are a happy fam ily again. When Chuck found him, he wasn't much larger than a silver dollar, but has now pow n to quite a large spec im en. He was found on Long franch while Chuck was rock hunting and brought home.

If our readers suffered last week from the thunder and lightening storms, you were not the only ones! Many of the places of business on Pine Street were flooded in the back rooms, damaging stock and other m aterial. Even the city water tank was found spewing water from the pump house door. Sgt. Jim Corliss found hlm - seU wading In some 6 inches of Water when he opened the door to check on the situation Not only that, but a pair of shoes came floating out to greet h i m . . . . And, the lightening blew out an electric plate on the press so we had to go to Cres cent City in the wee hours to get the Times printed last week.

This triangular emblem is used on farm machinery tra veling on highways and pub lic roads to warn motorists of slow moving vehicles. The Oregon committee has made yc.lnnt.ry use of the emblem a major project in recent The emblem is a fluorescent yellow-orange triangle with dark red reflective border and is placed at the rear of the slow moving vehicle. It is about 14 inches high and 16 inches wide and can be seen from a distance of at least 500 feet. In addition to stressing the SMV emblem during Farm Safety Week, the Oregon committee is also calling attention to thé need for greater safety In the use of farm tractors. THIEF........... Last week we told you about our new poodle, Tasha. Not only have we decided she is a French communist, she is also a thief! I Our neighbors, the Bob Nagle's, have a mother cat with 4 kittens. Now Tasha has de cided those are HER kittens, SHF. is the mother, and no matter what mama cat set, Tasha is bound and determ ined that those kittens are going to live at our house. Six times yesterday we had to haul them h o m e .... this is getting old, Tasha. Hope you w ill soon have some of your own babies (pups, preferably). Three new cooperative houses w ill be opened this fa ll, but a ll of the coopera years. tiv e houses--students share household chores to reduce livin g expenses— are fille d already. August 27, 1966, w ill see the culmination of years of planning and three years of construction when the Astoria fridge over the Columbia river at Astoria, Oregon, w ill be dedicated. The Columbia was the last stream to be bridged on Highway 101 from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. Only the main span and its approaches are shown in the above State Highway Department photo. Leading from the north approach (on left) it travels another four miles to the shore of Washington to Cape E llice. This four miles crosses Desdemona Sands on cement piling which supports a four-lane roadway to another main span at Cape E llice. The m ain span pier nearest the shore at Astoria was the pier which was the trouble-m aker for the DeLong Corp, the original contractor and the State Highway Department engineers. It has been interesting to watch the construction of the bridge progress. It is hoped this bottleneck over the Colum bia w ill improve the economic lots of Clatsop County, Oregon, and Pacific County, Washington. The ferry service w ill always be remembered— and missed. There was always a lost feeling rushing to catch the last ferry in the evening, only to arrive at Megler with it pulling out of the slip. The alternative was a drive to Longview or continue on to Vancouver if one was Portland bound. If you wished to continue on 101, you doubled back to Astoria. Anyone wishing a ferry ride on the Columbia can still enjoy one at Westport, Oregon. If you want the Astoria-Megler th rill, your tim e is lim ited . DR.
