Should Lynden have a Fourth of
July Celebration and Community
Picnic at home this year?
This will be one of the questions
that will be brought up and discussed
at the meeting of the Lynden Com
munity Club Monday evening at the
High School. The Club discussed the
matter of eelebratln at home in
formally at its last meeting, but laid
the topic on the table until the June
session.
1t was pointed out that Lynden
could put on just as lively cele-
bration as that furnished by other
localities. and a far more enjoyable
one for Lynden people. A home pic
mic with races and sports was the
plan suggested.
That many people will stay at
home this year because of the gaso-
line shortage is likely, so that the
topic will be considered with inter
est Monday night.

Petitions For Drainage And Dyking
Improvement Will Be Circulated
Among Farmers

Petitions to form a huge dyking
and drainage district to include the
entire Nooksack River from Marietta
to all forks, will be ready for dis
tribution next week, the first step in
the plan to protect river farmers
from the ravages of the stream.
Each signer will be asked to de-
posit in cash 25 cents for every acre
he owns, the money to be used as a
guarantee fund for the preliminary
expenses. In the event that the dis
trict is allowed, this money will be
credited as a payment on the assess
ments for the work. Should the plan
fail, expenses will be deducted from
the fund. and the balance distributed
to the individuals who contributed.
With a drainage and dyking dis
trict in effect, permanent plan Will
be worked out for the improvement
of the river, including the straight
ening of curves, and the dyking of
low areas. An engineer would be
employed, and a certain amount of
work undertaken each year. With
this form of legal organization, rep
resentatives could appeal for aid to
the state and federal governments,
with some chance of getting it.
