Berry Pickers Are Easy Pickings for The Grove Lions City Faces Prospect of Having to Build Sewer Disposal Plant Soon A well-balancpd Cottage Grove football team ran rough-shod over the Lebanon Berrypickers at Leb anon Friday night under the lights. Thia marked the initial ap pearance of both teams in the n e w l y organized Tri - County League. The game was a well played one with the Lions holding a slight edge. After a slow start in the first quarter the Lions came back strong in the second and drove »o the Berrypickers' one-yard line where Lusk cut off tackle for the first Lion score. The attempt for extra point was not good In the final frame the Lions started roll ing. they drove io the Bcrrypick- ers’ eignteen yard line, where Lusk passed to Minor for the sec ond touchdown. Th<- try for point was good making the score 13-0. The Lion half-back, Minor, with but a minute to play, intercepted a Berrypicker pass on the mid- field stripe and with a beautiful downfield blocking, raced "fifty yards for the final score. The try for point was not good. The Berrypickers threatened o n l y once, in the opening minute of the game wic-n an attempted quick kick by Lusk was blocked and re covered by Lebanon on the Lion 18-yard line. But their attack bogged down, and the Grovers were never threatened after that. Tommy Jones, brilliant little quar ter-back, had to be carried from the field in the early stages of the hall game with a badly sprained ankle. Lusk was the main spark in ihe Cottage Grove back-field with Krause showing well in the line, although the whole team played a good ball game. Johnson showed well for the Berrypickers.

Local Residents Offered Extension Courses at U. of 0 The city of Cottage Grove faces the prospect of having to build a sewerage disposal plant due to the fact that an army cantonment has been proposed for the Albany-Cor vallis area and will use water from the Willamette river. The mayor and city council have been advised by Curtiss M. Everts Jr., state sanitary engineer, to make preparation for plans for the con struction of a sewerage treatment plant. The problem of sewer treat ment was discussed at a meeting of the sanitary board in Portland September 12th and all towns be low the proposed cantonment were advised of the decision of the board Whether or not the city can be forced to build the sewerage treatment plant is a mooted ques tion. The problem will be discuss ed at the next regular meeting of the council Monday. If a decision is reached to proceed with the construction of the plant, such construction will involve an ex penditure in the neighborhood of $100,000. Springfield now has such a plant under construction to cost $95,000. Some of the council members are of the opinion that a federal grant might be obtained under the present conditions and that pos sibly now would be the logical time to build a treatment plant. The sanitary board*has advised the city that a plant should be constructed and in operation by May 1, 1942. in order to protect the cantonment water supply. Un der the present setup, it is pro posed to take water from the Wil lamette river, six or seven miles northeast of Corvallis for the cantonment. The University of Oregon ex tension classes meeting in the eve ning will start Monday. October 6. These edasses ore open to resi dents of Cottage Grove.

Beattie, assistant direc tor of the extension division. Twelve courses embracing such widely divergent fields as vocabu lary building and exploring the heavens will be taught by mem bers of the university of Oregon faculty. A fascinating class in Post-War Europe will lie offered. This class will aid those interested in follow ing the intricate designs in inter national affairs today, plus pro viding a store of knowledge for the many problems of reconstruc tion to follow. The class deals ex clusively with events frm 1919 to an analysis of wartime Europe. The classes will meet once a week for a two-hour period from 7:15 to 9:15 p. m. Enrollment cards will be handed out at the first meeting. Other courses being planned are: military organization Bnd na tional defense, garden clinic, and mental hygiene for adults.
