THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
LOCAL
Dr. Rowland was a dinner guest of Mrs. Brickell
on Sunday.
Supervisor Bradley and Capt. Stacy were week-end
visitors at Portland.
Dr. and Mrs. Hans Seitz of Salem were visitors at
at Chemawa during the week.
The beautiful spring weather has brought out
many tennis fans to the courts.
Miss Roddy chaperoned an auto load of small girls
to town on Sunday. They attended mass at the Cath
olic church.
The girls’ class in commercial geography recently
made an inspection trip to Salem and vicinity. Few
places can boast of so many varied industries as Salem.
Our robins and other birds are appearing in Che
mawa again and are singing happily during the entire
day. This is one more evidence of an early spring.
The farm is sending its equipment to the shops for
overhauling preparatory to spring work. Numerous
implements have been repaired and there are more to
follow.
Ramona Tripp and Emily Ivanoff served an eight
course dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Iliff, Mrs. Brickell,
Miss Peters, Miss Strout, Mr. Bradley and Capt.
Stacy on Tuesday evening.
The concrete mixer that was bought several years
ago is about ready to “take the air” again. It has
been in the hands of the machinists for some time.
Pump repairs have also kept them busy recently.
The carpenters are putting a new roof on the in
dustrial building, and they say they are very anxious
to turn it over to the painters in order that they can
do some practical wearing of the green on March 17.
The harness to be furnished to the various agencies
in the Service is well along toward completion. We
have bargained to produce a greater number at a
better price next year and hope we get the business.
A shipment of 250 sacks of graham flour has just
been received for use at the Chemawa bakery. It is
reported to us that Mr. Turner, our baker, is doing
some mighty fine baking these days—and we believe it.
More land is coming in for attention by the farm
and garden details. Four acres have already been
added to the farm and when the present operations
have been finished a substantial addition will be ready
for crop.
Quite a number of young stock have been added
to the dairy herd recently. These cows have been
raised at Chemawa and are starting out to make a
record for themselves. This speaks well for the dairy
detail and their instructor.

Mr. Iliff was in charge and conducted chapel last
Sunday evening. During the service the orchestra
played “A Perfect Day” by Bond, Alice May Clark
sang “Tomorrow Land” by Tandler, Bernice Blakes
lee gave a recitation, the boys’ octette sang “Yacht
ing Glee” by Culbertson, and the choir sang “Onward
Into Light” by Donizetti-Wilson.
Capt. Stacy was one of the chaperones of our party
of young people to Salem on Monday evening. In
evidence we saw in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Hender
son, Mr. and Mrs. Tyrrell, Mr. and Mrs. Woodard,
Mr. and Mrs. Teter, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Holmes.
The occasion was the open meeting of the Rebekah
Lodge and Chemawa was well represented.
The last installment of the 18 bedside tables made
in the carpentry department for the hospital will be
delivered to the painters this week. Some very nice
chairs have recently been built for McNary Hall, and
a number of chairs, settees and tables to refit the boys’
reading room at Mitchell Hall have been delivered.
The volume of business through this busy shop is re
markable, as it serves so many other departments.
On Monday the boys’ and girls’ octettes of Chemawa,
under the direction of Mrs. Turney, appeared in Sa
lem at an open meeting of the Rebekahs, and did them
selves proud. Raymond Haldane and Reno Booth
were presented in vocal solos; John Dexter contributed
a violin solo; Louis Dupuis, Clifford McLeod and Reno
Booth each gave recitations. Every individual and
ensemble number of the entire program was enthus
iastically encored. Mrs. Henderson had the program
in charge and acted as chairman of the occasion and
proved at ease in that position. Delicious refreshments
were served our young people and in every way were
they honored. It was a memorable occasion for all.
On Wednesday evening the Chemawa wrestling
team went to Oregon City and met the team of the
Oregon City High School. There were nine of the
Chemawa boys matched. Karl Muller, Lafay Weaver,
Moses George and Dan Collins defeated their oppo
nents without going on the mat for the third time;
William Johnson and Percy Woodcock went to the
mat for the third time with their opponents and both
won; B. Ann held his opponent to a draw; Donald
Nickerson and Charley Fagerstrom lost, but each
went with his opponents to the mat three times.
Chemawa’s team made 101 points and Oregon City 55,
according to the scores, and the method of the Ore
gon City Coach. The Oregon City people certainly
showed a splendid spirit toward the Chemawa boys.
There was not a single decision questioned by either
side and during the whole meet “everybody was
happy.”
