plans for improvement of high
way 99 had been made with the
idea that it would be part of the
main coastal highway linking

plans of the federal highway
bureau, and that highway 91
had been indicated as a lesser
route.

the effect of laws for two years",

mall groups were now taking
teps to nullify the milk bills

moved mail from the boxes and

O Call if vision or just plain horse sense, we Americans cannot help
planning and hoping for a brighter future-even while doing our level
best to meet the limitations and demands of this war period.
O We in the California-Pacific Utilities Company are making every ef
fort, and I believe successfully, to keep gas service at a high quality
level. As difficult as this is, we are also planning for your future re
quirements. O Gas appliances at present are giving dependable, unfailing, day in
and day out service. This war psriod has emphasized the dependa
bility of gas appliances - their long life and service-free character
istics. Nevertheless, you are probably planning, as are many others,'
to make certain appliance replacements when that is possible.
O Your Gas Company, gas appliance manufacturers, and the local deal
ers have laid definite plans for the time when homes may be equipped
with the latest developments in gas automatic ranges, gas refriger
ators, gas water heaters, and gas heating equipment for your home
and office. The production lines of peace-time will, shortly after vic
tory, give you gas appliances of a new beauty and improved per
formance.' O These new gas appliances will be a challenge to all other similar
equipment on the market. I earnestly hope that you will look into the
new developments as they become available, since they can mean so
much to you in the daily and hourly operation and comfort of your home:
Vhlch they cashed, authorities
said.
Information on their cases was
submitted to the United States
district attorney at Portland
who referred it to the local juve
nile court lor action.
The youths were made wards
of the court with certain restric
tions, until they reach 21 years
of age. They were given leniency
from the serious offense because
of their age, Juvenile Officer
Robert M. Elder said.
