ber Of the state highway commission.
gave some valuable hints on securing
needed highways. He cited the fact
that those districts which in the past
have secured needed roads were the
ones who repeatedly sent delegations
to consult with the state highway
commission. Money used in keeping
in touch with the state highway COM
mission, said Mr.. Thompson, was
money well spent.

Frank Bramwell was called upon
TO tell fish story and he chose one

narrating how this certain guest had
bravely glided out into the swirling
waters of the Rogue in a boat, in
search of willy steelhead, and had
finally landed a "big one" after an
exciting battle, he produced the fish
to substantiate his story. The fish

enjoyable one, large crowd being
in attendance. The jazz music. was
excellent and as an added attraction
punch was served free during the en-
tire evening.

better feeling between the north and
south parts of the state, which it is
hoped will lead to united coopera-

oregon to extend her hand and saw
