Stevens This Week By JACK BENTLEY CAMP CLATSOP, ORE . Jan 20 Approximately 300 draftees ate expected to artive at Fort Stevens tins week to begin their year of mililaiy training The draftees will spend four months in prelim inary training and will then be transferred into sepurate batteries throughout the regiment. Battery B expects to get about 40 of these men. Nearly 30 men from the 249th Coast Artillery have been assign ed to train the men until the regi ment is transferred to the fort. Supply Sgt. Delbert E. Jones and Prvt. ist Class Kenneth L. Evans, cook, are the only men from Bat tery B detailed to help in thia training program, and they will probably continue at the same type of work after their transfer. Sub-calibre practice has been slowed up somewhat by the bad weather, but probably will be con cluded within the next few days. According to present plans, the service practice will not begin un til the first of May. A bad storm struck the camp Thursday night and continued Fri day with the wind velocity reach ing 60 miles per hour at times, however, very little damage oc- curled because of the quick action on the part of the men. The cook’s tent in the Battery B area did rip open, but quick removal of beds and personal belongings kept the losa at a minimum Either on Monday night or Tues day morning the second battalion is scheduled for a four-day biv ouac which is to leave upon 20- fainute notice.

ACTIVITIES ADD TO POLIO FUND Number 4 PLAZA CORNER IMPROVED IF PLAN ADOPTED JDEPORTS brought back by the v local delegation which attend ed the highway board meeting at Portland Tuesday, indicate that prospects are good for straighten ing the dangerous Plaza corner. The original plan called for making a straight road from Oak street to Water street, but it was decided at the board meeting that a modified plan leaving a slight curve would stand a better chance of being adopted because the right-of-way costa would be much smaller. According to the original plan, a large part of the Ford Motor company building and some of the Claycomb service station would have been included in the right-of-way, whereas the new plan will include only a small part of the Ford Motor building and none of the service station. Other buildings affected by the project are those occupied by Harrison Parts. J. D. Mars and Sen, Postal Telegraph, Billings Agency, Log Cabin. Laughlin' Printery, Mitch ell’s barber shop, Herbert’s gro cery, the Westfall variety store and Baird's cafe. There will be no definite action taken on the project until a care ful survey of the modified plan is made. The local delegation attending the commission meeting was head ed by Mayor T. S. Wiley and in cluded city Attorney Frank Van Dyke. Councilman Ralph Koozer and G. M. Green.
