Six essays were chosen from each of the local four high school Eng- lish classes, by their teacher Miss Geraldine Hughes. Judges for the local contest were: Rev. W. G. Rowley, Mrs. R. P. Ink and Mrs. J. B. Ringer. They Judged Jeane's as first, Mary Carol Plattenberger, second, and Margaret Harris' third. All three were sent to the state contest headquarters In Des Moines where Jeane's was awarded ,first place in the state. As a reward she will receive the Auxiliary tra- veling trophy which she will retain one year. She was graduated from Mount Vernon high school last week as salutatorian of her class.

BLUE P- -N iRE COMPLETE ON NEW Will Have Six High Truss S p a n s 150 Feet Long Blue prints of the bridge which will be built across the Cedar river at Ivanhoe have been received at the IAnn county Auditor's office from the Io~a Highway Commis- sion. The plans can for a ten truss bridge of six 150 foot spans, 24 feet wide, with two I beam approaches 40 feet long and 24 feet ~ide, which means that it will .be quite a bridge. The bridge will be 977.6 feet long It Is Federal Aid project No. 765. The blue prints bear an April 1941 date. Included with the plans for the .bridge are blue prints for grading a new road from the east end of the bridge in a direct line to a point where It intercepts the present No. 261. The bridge will start very close to the south or west end of the )resent bridge, (which ever you call it). The east end will be 300 feet up the river from the end of the .present bridge. Thus the bridge and new road will .be built on a straight line beginning at the west end of the present ,bridge to where this line intersects the present No. 261, southwest of the creek bridge near the south line of the Harold Burgs farm. The new road will 'be .758 of a mile or 4002.4 feet long making a total length of new bridge and new road of .946 miles or 5000 feet. No further information is known as to when bids will be received on the bridge other than the statement made recently by Les Etcher, mem- ber of the Iowa Highway Commis- sion, that the bridge is expected to be built this year. Plans for the new bridge over Indian Creek on the Cedar Rapids- Marion road near the edge of Mar- ion, were received earlier than the Ivanhoe blue prints, .but bids have not been asked for yet on that pro- ject. In the Solon news on page seven it is stated that the pavement north of Solon will 'be opened this week from the old road north to the county line nlthough much wm'k remains in grading the shoulders. / Private piano lessons through the t summer months.
