Big Crowd Attends 2-Day
Celebration Sponsored
by Roseburg Eagles.
The Fourth of July celebration
sponsored at Winchester Sunday
and Monday by tho IOagles lodge
of Roseburg proved a very suc
cessful event, both from 1 the"
standpoint of attendance nnd
tertalnment.
Tho sports programs ot the two
days proved of particular inter
est.
The softball game Sunday was
won by Kuthcrliu, 18 to 8, from a
pickup Hoseburg ami Oakland
team. Suthorlln scored 10 runs In
tho rirst Inning, before tho hast
ily organized opposition began to
click, aftor which iho contest was
played on even terms.
In the nicos Sunday, "Tub"
Pemherton won the sack race and
pillow right. Charles Hiney won
the egg race and two small boys,
Wallers ami Itnmp, won the three
legged race.
A swimming race was one of the
outstanding fen lures on Monday's
sports schedule "Chub" Church
winning the speed event lu a close
ly contested event. With never
more than three feet separating
the contestants lu the 100-yard
speed swim, Church put on n final
burst of speed to win by hair a
length over Kddie Wyatt and War
ren Sayers. Lucille Woody won
tho swimming race for girls by de
fault. lu the oth.r races of the day
I here wero some very close and
exciting contests, with the follow
ing winners: Hobby lamko, 40
yard dash for boys under 12; Wil
lis Oage, fiO-yard dash; Irma Mor
gan, 10 yard dash for girls under
IS; Alice Johnson, 10-yard dash
for girls under 12; Hob Page, fat
man's race; Walter Dage. men's
free for all race; Yelda Goodman,
women's free for all race; Junior
Hosworth, potato race.
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.
W ort lien pitched the entire game
for Oakland. A sensational catch
hy Mines at second base for nose
burg was the outstanding feature
of tho game. Mines went high Into
the air after n line drive. Me hit
the hall, knocking It Into tho air,

Survey Reveals .Very Few
Given Chance to Enter
Chosen Vacations.
The number of "older young peo
ple" in rural aroan In Oregon be
tween tho ugea of 16 and 25 years
was approximately 75,000 al the
at the time of the last general cen
sus, about half of whom are out
of school und unmarried. The sit
uations, problems and Interests of
theso unmarried rural young peo
ple huve recently been studied as
u Joint effort of the national and
stale cooperative extension serv
ice at Oregon State . college, and
the mimeographed report of the
study issued by the United States
department of agriculture.
ileinunl U. Joy, a former Jack
son county boy who is now agri
culturist at Washington, 1). C, In
the division of 'extension studies
and teaching, und J. H. 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.

Right to Defer Under Farm
Credit Law Expires on
July 1, Bank Says.
The provision In the farm credit
act of 1936 grunting Federal Land
bank borrowers the privilege of de
ferring payments on the principal
of loans outstanding on June 3,
1935, expires July lu, 1938, IS. M.
Ehrhnrdt, president of the Federal
Laud bank of Spokane, announces.
After 'July all Federal Land
bank borrowers will be required to
make regular payments on the
principal of their loans on each In
terest payment dato.
President Ehrhardt explained
that farmers who have deferred
such payments will need to make
them later since they have, in ef
fect, lengthened the terniB of their
loans. Uut they have the privilege
of making additional payments on
any regular installment date which
may be applied toward paying off
the principal sooner.
However, the temporarily reduc
ed Interest rates on all louns will
continue until June 30, 1940. On
most Federul Laud bank loans'
through national farm loan associa
tions the- reduced rate is 3 per
cent a year, and for loans made
directly from the banks, 4 per cent.

You can't always avoid stop-and-go

Shell engineers found that getting

enough "undigested" gasoline to carry

To cut this costly waste, they rear
