The softhall game between Hose burg and Oakland teams, won by Itoseburg, H to 5. was a much more Interesting game than Ihe score would Indicate. Oakland scored a run lu the second, while Hoseburg went Into the lead with three runs In each of the third and fourth Innings and five In the seventh, while Oakland scored two In each of the fifth and seventh. Hnnehurg otitbit Oakland, 15 In 10. and each team made four errors. Campbell pitched fine ball Tor Itoseburg for six Innings, yielding to tireen who took over the mound duties for the seventh frame.

Beck, rural service specialist at Oregon State college, are authors of this first eport ever made on older rural youth In Oregon. Few Enter Chosen vocation Eighty-nine per cent of the out- of-school youth in Oregon contact ed in the study had not entered their chosen vocation. While oniy 211.1 per cent of this age group are continuing in school, 68 per cent of the out-ot-school youth were high school graduates. It has frequently been said that the young men anil women in this age group had for the most part passed beyond contacts with -i-m clubs, or Smith-Hughes work and had not yet found places in regu lar adult organizations. The extent to which this 'is true was clearly indicated In the Oregon survey, where It was found that although 65 per cent of the young people in terviewed in this study had been members or -J-H clubs, only 10 pel cent were then associated with tho extension service, and 78 per cent of the out-or-BChool youth had no memberships in organizations ex cept those associated with the church. , The roport Is basod on actual in terviews with more than 100 young people In representative farming areas in Tillamook, Lane, Clacka mas and Union counties.
