C Of C Opposes Highway Route (Continued from Page I) through traffic that would be hard er to slow down. The land west of the highway would probably be sub divided and buildings constructed on it. That would add another half mile to what we already have for children to cross en route to school. Foul balls and kicked balls would go onto the highway. There is not a great deal of danger to children on the present playgrounds. I think the additional highway would in crease the traffic hazard immeas urably. The new highway would also go within a block of the Mal heur Memorial hospital. I do not think we should support such a project”. Although there is some discussion in the community of the proposed highway, there is no Indication now th -t the state highway department is in iavor of such a project. School Superintendent H e n r y Hartlej said not many persons had realized the expansion that has taken place In the school grounds, whioh now extended to the strip that would be covered by the high way. More youngsters will also be using the playgrounds when they are turfed. Owyhee Riding club and softball committees met Tuesday night to discuss the suggested use of the rodeo grounds for softball, but reached no definite decision, Hugh Tobler reported. Tobler said the riding club will meet Friday night to decide the issue. Changing the rodeo grounds to accommodate soft- ball would Involve an estimated ex penditure of $500. The change would include, among other things, the elimination of the race track. This change would put the arena closer to the grandstand, which many persons would approve.
