Jeane Houstman Wins
Iowa Poppy Day
Editorial Contest
Miss Jeans Houstman, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Houstman

the close of the Mount Vernon high

had received the traveling award
in the state wide essay contest held

minutes during one class period.
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.
Next year she plans to enter Iowa

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.
