Mrs. France endeavored to con- 0le this writer by relating a minor catastrophe that occurred in a recent issue of her home town paper, the Sheldon Mail of Sheldon, Iowa. The paper print ed the obituary of a man who had recently passed away, and above this item, instead of hav ing a picture of the deceased man, they had a picture of his late wife, who had died three years ago. .

Rural Reflections: Unusual wildlife stories still come to us from the Applegate. Mrs. Wil liam Travis informs us that she saw a sea otter in the upper Applegate river last year. She watched it jump on a rock and then go after frogs. Five years ago, a marten and a wolverine were sighted in the wee hours of the morning on Top o' the Hill. An old-timer informed us that approximately 15 years ago the grasshoppers were unbear able on Top o' the Hill, and at 1 I: " -.V 5 I iMieia, , -j hv,v I Q ACTUAL (SIZE i Z 'u THUMBNAIL S&Z ly HELEN BOTTEL Cave Junction A concert, featuring the county grade school honor band, was given Friday night at the Illinois Val ley High school. The band formed of first chair player from all county grade schools, gave a concert at Hugo Monday night. Members have met seven times for practice throughout the year, and are planning to enter competition in the southern Oregon music fes tival at Medford April 28 and 27. The unit placed in division 1 at last year's festival, and muaie instructor Van Johnson ays he hopes for a similar hon or this year, as the band shows great promise. The Friday concert was one of a aeries of four offered as a money railing project on the various band pieces. On March 8 the honor band will give a public performance t Jerome Prairie and the final concert, tentatively set for March 20 at Granti Pasn, will not only include this top county band, but all band students in county schooli and the Illinois Valley High school.

Just a little over a year ag the new oridge under eonstuc tion at th east fork of the Illin ois river near Cava Junction was partially wrecked by flood waters. Last weekend the now com pleted Bridge held firm as high waters boiled around its piers Three disasters set back the finish date for the bridge which has been under construction for wall over a year. Floods in De cember, 1(55, and again in Jan uary, 1956, tor out framework, wrecked construction sheds and overturned equipment. Just as builder Tom Lillebo and company were getting un derway again, two sections of the span collapsed in March in juring three workers and costing the Reedsport construction man nearly $10,000 in material alone. The bridge, and its sister span across the west fork of the Illin ois, are completed, but traffic over them awaits the realign ment of the Redwood highway to eliminate some four miles of dangerous curves. The state highway department Is presently grading and leveling the new road, which starts just-south of the west fork bridge and extends to Cave Junction city limits. Spans from the two narrow bridges now in use will be used in the construction of the Finch bridge, a replacement for the old swinging bridge at Kerby, washed out in the 1955 flood. ed at Redwood Inspection star tion. Correction of open sewage conditions within the city limits was discussed by William D. Quinn of the state board of health before the Cave Junction city council meeting this week. It has been reported that sew age draining into an open ditch along River road has caused un sanitary conditions, odors and a possible menace to health. Quinn, members of the City Council and Recorder Paul Glines will make a survey of the area early in March. Mayor Carrol Banks directed the 5-man planning commission to contact property owners on the question of widening Main street to a uniform 100 feet from curb to curb. This would in volve moving back several build ings and installations over a 10 year period of grace, end deed ing land to the city.

Many are also chain cigar smokers. Yet cancer is- a rarity in the West Indies. Horses and Women The hip measurement of the average housewife is increasing. The figures of home managers are bulging in alarming fashion. They don't look so well when re treating. Especially when wear ing slacks. What is the cause of this regrettable state of affairs? According to those who have made a study of the situation, it is caused by too much sitting down. They say the average housewife sits down from seven to eight hours a day.
