Special Notes.

Road clubs along the route in Della
ware county have been very busy in
promoting roadwork and they report
that division in a safe condition for
speeding.
Unless there is some immediate
work done on the Rosc-Salina section.
Santa will need "A pilot and "A pushcr
To make anything like schedule time.
The bridge committee at Saliua has
made special arrangements to get
Santa safely over the big free bridge,
regardless Of whether the approaches
are completed or not.
Owing to the unfinished condition
of the rock road between Sdlinu and
Pryor. Santa will probably be dctourod
via Mayes schoolhouse, where he will
probably make Il short stop
Judging from the active. actual
road work brought about by the Dsage
road club. Santa might be able to
comply with the requests of Usage

way over all eas,bound cars and other
vehicles. All castbound should keep

a through telephone line has been
arransed for to be used exclusively 10y

toned with respect to unncC, ssaIy use
of the telephones that evening. The
] idea is to give santa and his guides the

reasons.
