Governors, legislators, highway commissioners, and personal friends of Collier's from the suites of Nevada, Oregon, and California will meet on the south slope of Hazelview Summit at the portal of the $7,500,000 tunnel to wind up a two-day celebration Officials of the California Divi sion of Highways said the new 4.3 - mile route including a aligned highway will eliminate 128 curves, five hairpin switch backs, and a steep grade that climbs 950 feet in four miles on Highway 199 between Crescent City and Grants Pass, Ore. The tunnel was named in Col lier's honor at the editorial sug gestion of the Illinois Valley (Ore.) News which stated Col lier "had worked single-handed for years for this ptoiect, which in the beginning people called fan tastic. ... He kept lighting un til he convinced his associates that the construction would be a great asset economically to the whole state, as well as Del Norte County and the port of Crescent City. We must admire such per sistence and salesmanship. . . The job has taken three years to complete since first begun in I960. Tourists, trucks, local resi dents and commerce Saturday will be traveling at 60 miles an hour through the Hazelview Ridge and into the hinterlands of Oregon, California, and Nevada, bypassing the former highway which the Division of Highways termed "one of the most rugged Indians A jingle in a 1947 flour mill con-!building authorities at Allied test won her a new auto.

Ask Busy Person To Get It Done on mmmm By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: What can I say to a good wife and mother who never reads a newspaper be- ( cause she in sists she doesn't have the time? The Red Chi nese could be on our porcn ana she wouldn't know it. We have four chil I dren under 10 years of age, a seven room house, two dogs and a garden. She is busy, Ann, and I would be the last person in the world to deny it, but all the same it's appalling that this woman can't somehow manage to devote 15 minutes of her day to reading a newspaper. 1 made the mistake of bringing up Ethel Kennedy yesterday and she almost took my neaa on. Please give me another approach. ' There must be a logical answer that I can give her but I don't know it. Help! Help'.-BRICK WALL Doar Brick: Everyone has equal time no more, no less Even the Kennedys get only 24 hours a day. People who insist they can't find time to do this or that should be reminded that it's the division of time and not a shortage w h 1 c h determines what gels done. The cliche is accurate: "If you want something done, ask a busy person. He'll do it." Dear Ann Landers: Six weeks ago I sent for some merchandise which was advertised in a repu table national magazine. I received a package with a let ter attached saying they no long er had the merchandise I had sent for but that they were sending a substitute of equal value and they were sure I'd be pleased. Well it was not of equal value, it was plain junk and I was not pleased. I mailed it back to them and attached a note saying if they could not send me what they had advertised in the magazine to please return my check for $5. Four weeks have passed and I have heard nothing. How do I go about getting my money back? I know they are not go ing to get rich on my So but if they can pull this on several thousands suckers every month it sure beats working. Thanks for your help. DUMB CLUCK Dear Cluck: Write a letter to your postmaster and explain in detail what happened. The post Ipffice department will investigate the outfit. If they are shady oper ators they'll soon be out of busi ness (and you just may get your $5 back.) Dear Ann Landers: Please pass the word on to "Dim Hopes," the poor kid who was getting head aches trying to study in the kitch en under a 60 watt bulb. At to day's average rate of 3 cents per kilowatt hour, the added cost of burning a 100-watt bulb over that of a 60-watter woujd be about Vs of a cent per hour, or 80 hours for the price of a candy bar. This is hardly worth making a fuss about And I'll bet that 60 watt bulb is in a ceiling fixture when it ought to be in a portable lamp beside her bed or on her desk. This means she is getting at the reading level only 1-30 or 1-40 the amount of light out of the bulb. If it were properly placed she'd have no problem. A.M. P. LIGHTING SPECIALIST FOR G.E. Dear A.M. P.: Thanks for your explanation. I received many let ters from lighting specialists (some called themselves engi neers) but yours was the easiest to understand. I hope this will help the young lady see the light. Confidential to BORED STIFF: I know the type one ear and two mouths. Your only out is to make a "previous engagement" immediately.

The new route, while a t r c mendous improvement, still had one major bottleneck over the Hazelview Summit where t h e roadbuiklers resorted to a series of severe switchbacks up one side and down the other to cross the ridge. The possibility of a tunnel through the ridge did not origin ate with Collier visionaries had discussed it since the inception of the route which has been dubbed the Redwood Highway. But early in the 1950s Collier began bat tling for it. In 1955 aerial surveys ordered by Collier convinced the highway engineers the plan mer ited detailed study.
