Aroused Eugene Suburban
Citizens Plan Protection
. Eugene (U.R) Aroused citi
zens of the Willakenzie area
Wednesday called for a meeting
to discuss fire protection after a
disabled war veteran's home
burned down.
Cilisens Warned
; Fire chiefs in both Eugene and
Springfield said they were not
allowed to fight the blaze even
though a fire hydrant is located
nearby. They said the district
has been repeatedly warned that
Eugene and Springfield fire de
partments could not handle fires
outside their districts.
Destroyed by fire Monday
was the home of R. C. Millican,
who is married and has three
young children. Millican was
looking for work when the fire
started. His wife had to flee the
house without enough clothing
for their 18-month-old baby.
The Eugene Red Cross sup
plied the family with ney cloth
ing and reported public response
to the Millican's plight was
"tremendous."
Citizens called a meeting for
next Tuesday to study ways of
getting fire protection. About
3800 people live in the Willa
kenzie area.

Canada Eyes New Highway
To Build Up Wild Country
Edmonton, Alta. (U.B Fed
eral and Alberta government of
ficials look to a new highway to
help build up Canada's vastly
rich but comparatively un
scfatched northland. -
The all-w e a t h e r Mackenzie
highway also is being heralded
as an important road link in the
event of an enemy attack over
the polar region.
The highway crosses 384 miles
of muskeg, forest and farmland
on a course due north from the
northern Alberta center of Grim
shaw to ' Hay river, on Great
Slave lake, northwest territory.
A ' gravel road built three
years ago at a cost of $4,300,000
to both governments, the Mac
kenzie highway is making its im
portance felt in the northland.
Trad Grows
The highway is connected with
the main road system in north
ern Alberta which, , traveling
south, ties in with Edmonton,
and, northwest, reaches Dawson
Creek, B.C., the southern term
inus of the Alaska highway.
Alberta officials surveyed the
results of the Mackenzie high
way and got these results:
Traders who once had to wait
weeks for a shipment of supplies
freighted along the Peace river,
or by winter tractor-tram, now
have goods delivered to their
doorstep within hours after large
trucks have left Grimshaw.
Miners no longer have to fly
or freight their heavy machinery
into the north at exorbitant
costs. Heavy trucks carry sup
plies to Hay River, where boats
regularly serve Yellowknife and
points along the Mackenzie river
system, which reaches norm to
the Arctic coast.
North of Grimshaw, home
steaders use the highway to
carry rich harvests to elevators
on the railway. Last year more
than 600,000 bushels of wheat
atad 200,000 bushels of coarse
grain were taken to market over
the road.
Plenty of Fish
Great Slave .' lake : provides
Canada with the greatest source
of fresh water fish of any lake
in the country. Last year, about
8,000,000 pounds of whitefish
and trout, valued at $612,000,
were hauled from Hay River
south along the highway to mar
ket outlets.
Formerly, limited supplies of
fish were taken only in the sum-

kinds of handicapping condi

those we have already reached.

school in Eugene, the craft shop
in Portland and emergency as
sistance all made possible by
Easter Seal funds. Of sll contri
butions received in the commu
nity during the current cam
paign, 95 per cent will be util
ized in this area. The remaining
five per cent will be sent to the
national office in Chicago to
supports its parent program of
education, research and direct
services on a nationwide scale.
"Remember," Mrs. Partch add
ed, "there are four ways to help
the Easter Seal drive by buy
ing Easter seals, buying lilies at
the Lily Day sale, contributing
to the coin containers and at
tending the Easter seal benefit
dance." ,
The dan?e will be held Mon
day, April 7 between 9 p.m. and
1 a.m. at Rogue Valley Country
club. A buffet supper will be
