The next night, at the jamboree, Chemawa played Detroit, and lost another close game with the score 13-11. The following Tuesday league playing began. Chemawa was beat en on the home floor by Scio. The score was 54-46. Three days later the team met defeat at Sublimity, 53-48. Farm Safeguards Health of Swine There is a state regulation that whenever garbage is fed to hogs, it must be cooked for thirty min utes at a temperature of 212 F. The reason for this is that the proc ess kills germs and so holds down diseases in pigs, which results in meat that is free from trichinosis. Chemawa has set up a small build ing just for that purpose. The gar bage is cooked by running a steam hose into the can containing it. Rivalry Is Keen For Unit Awards At Winona Hall, unit awards have been won by Geraldine Ham lin,s Unit 1, Bevery Carlson,s Unit V, and Lorraine Farmer’s Unit II. Unit III is working for the award this month. Charlotte Running crane is leader of the unit. Points may be won in several ways. Every day one point is given for each room with excellent rat ing; each girl is allowed one point daily for satisfactory detail; volun teer details, such as carrying linens to the laundry, delivering shop orders, taking over McBride Hall Mail, and changing ironing board covers, earn one point each. When competition is keen, girls volunteer for such work as mopping, waxing, and buffing halls, and cleaning linen closets, laundry, showers, and rest rooms. The award, given each month, is a trip to Salem with movie tickets purchased from Winona Hall funds, for the girls in the winning unit. Film Strip Premiere Mr. Edgar L. Wight, Indian Service Education Specialist in Agriculture, visited Chemawa on November 30. At a meeting with the teaching staff, Mr. Wight pre sented the subject, Field Trips for Learning, showing a film strip of that title recently prepared by the Education Film Laboratory of the U. S. Indian Service. Return of Books Important Each student is responsible for the book he has checked out of the library. Everyone should get books in on time. If you forget when it is due, the best thing is to check to find out Let’s all try bringing books back on time so that it will not be necessary for Miss Morse to send out notices about them.
