a Job. Thin we found to be an understatement.
Arnold llavmond and Joe Harlle of our mechan

Just how many hours they have put in on It,
but there have lieen times when the nun was
shining brightly before they rolled Into bed for
a couple of hours (sleep. Without them there
would be no Welcome Edition and they deserve
a great deal of credit. The others of our Maff
have also come through as champions. We are
grateful for the fine help given by newspn jxt
friends at Woodburn. Gene Stoller and his part
ner Kd t'oman, for their help. The sx lal edition,
because of Its long run and many pages, was
printed on the press of the Woodburn Indepen

have It In operation at the OazetteTlmes later
this year, dene went far beyond the call of cour

In the printing process.
We want to thank the many volunteers who
contributed articles and pictures. Most of the
writing was done on a volunteer basis and It
forms the backbone of this paper.
When the Chamber of Commerce committee
asked that we do this Job. we Milnted out that
we were new and under some handicap. They
promised every help, and they have given it to
us. They have taken time off from their busy
work Mhedule to take u around the county.

There has l-en considerable commendation
already alniut the activity and recreation map

believe It only fair to point out that the map
was drawn by le Neperud of Salem Engraving
Company In Salem, and the Job Is more remark
able when It Is considered that .he probably has

Hums, who ha been helpful to us through our
years In the newspaper business, made the en

and are never disappointed.

May of 1879. The Rebekah Lodge
received its charter In May of
1888. The present hall was dedi

the hall was used as a meeting
place for different organizations
such as the Elks, the K. or v.,
the Woodman of the World, the
Degree of Honor, and Junior
Chamber of Commerce. It Is also
used for many community ac
