Bill is now an assistant resi dent engineer and grade in spector with the California Division of Highways, and while visiting Bill and his family, he took his parents on a tour of his present job, which is the building of a new highway across the peat bogs in a straight line between the Sacramento river bridge at Rio Vista and the Mokelumne river bridge. Anyone who has driven the existing portion of road be tween these two points will appreciate the improvement in eliminating all the curves The whole area has been "de- farmed" and the right of way backfilled. When completed, the Rio Vista end will have 1200 sand drains under it. To make these sand drains, a steel pipe 40 feet long and one foot in diameter is driven into the peat by a huge pile-driver-like machine. The pipe is filled with sand, then with drawn, leaving a "pillar" of sand, through which the un derground water is forced up to the top. . A total of 650,000 tons of material are being hauled from the Brannan Pit on Seven-Mile delta and placed on top of the existing peat. The pit is on state -owned land, and after this material has been removed, the area is to be converted into a state park especially adapted to boating enthusiasts and fish ermen. By working together this way, both the Division of Highways and the State Park System are saving a consid erable amount of money, m that the park system is getting their land levelled and the Division of Highways gets the needed material for their fill work. The work was started on Aug. 4, 1958, and it is ex pected the project will be completed by Sept., 1959. nnr tt?at3Mt n n n niT'T r oy uAijii uniin -rnuit A Tribute To Our Firemen!

This year, however, two of the topics in Oregon will deal with this state. The program gives all par ticipants the facts of several major problems facing our leaders, Petty said. "It allows us to come to our own deci sion as a means of actual par ticipation in the democratic process," he declared. Each person, after studying the facts of each weekly ses sion can then complete his personal "opinion ballot," which will in turn be sent to Oregon State college and ac cumulated with all others in Oregon. In this way, an indi vidual opinion, supported by thousands of others, can pre sent a "voice" of the public which can help determine the action on some of our major issues in public affairs.
