Bloodmobile Visits This City, June 25 Official spokesmen for civic and social groups caucused Monday noon at Mom & Pop's cafe on the import- ant matter of the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile Monday. June 25, to Mill City and area.

The contract was awarded on a low bid of $79,755. BPA’s Project Engineer supervis ing this construction will be Mr. N. P. Nelson who will maintain head quarters at Mill City.
