Information on Wills Topic of Coming Extension Meeting GATES In Oregon, who will receive property if there is no will? Why have a will? Do young couples need a will? Steps in making a will will be presented in 1-2-3 order at the next meeting of the Santiam Canyon Home Extension Unit, March 28, at 10 a. m. Project leaders, Mary GulHford and Le ola Delker will present the les son, "A Will of Your Own.” which is designed to help people get a clear understanding of some basic legal matters. The noon luncheon will tie potluck. Lee Bassett, president of the Lions club said Monday night that a representative of the State Highway department will be at the dinner meeting of the club Monday night, March 18. to discuss the sign placed at Interstate No. 5 at Salem, directing traffic up the North Santiam Highway, or Highway 22. This has been a bone of contention for many years in this area, as residents feel the present sign is misleading and insufficient. A number of civic leaders from the surrounding towns will be present for this meeting, and those planning to bring guests are asked to con tact Lee Ross at once, so ar rangements can be made to feed the group. At the meeting Monday night. District Governor Ted Schwartz of Yachats spoke to the group. He was accompanied by David H. Warde. Gov. Schwartz attended the Lions International convention in Nice, France last year and made a report on his visit. He said Lions clubs are active in 118 countries at this time, and have a total membership of some 668.711 members in 16,953 clubs. These clubs had a total of 343,000 projects last year, which if figured in good to their communities would amount to billions of dollars. He told of visiting with a Lions member from Calcutta, India. This man stated their country owed a lot to Lionism, as it has taught their country to be of service to all mankind. In that country where they have the caste system it has proven to be of especial bene fit. Before Lionism in India, upper class people would do no thing for the "untouchables.” Now they help them through the sight conservation program and this has aided the Indian people in realizing the benefits of helping the poorer classes. Another guest for the even ing was Byron Rarey, who came with Lowell Fleetwood.

Coffman s interest in making a run of the North Santiam river was triggered by a news story published in a Salem newspaper. He believes that the river would be suitable for a white water spectacular similar to the one staged on the Mc Kenzie river. He plans on making the run in the near future. Run Made oa Saturday Three men did make the San tiam run on Saturday. They were James Frichtl of Stayton, Tom Wright, state editor of the Statesman, Salem, and Marvin Sandburg of Sublim ity.
