ELECTRIC SERVICE MAINTAINED DESPITE STORM Rather nice now to lean back, even now, and tell about the big snow that fell on January 31. 1937. Lots of unusual things happened, of course— to many of those, out of town, Uncle Sam’s mail w as a day nr so late—and the (ta per failed to show up— in town some were forced to g e t along without the regular milk supply and so. on ami on. although un usual efforts were made to sup ply all these regular services.it was almost impossible in many cases. In the electrical field the high line men. of course, are just as fond of sitting around the fire as you and I. hut it is their dutv to maintain service day and night and so, on Sunday evening, about 9 o’clock you remember how the “ snow was snowin’ and ’ twas murkv overhead” -well, out goes one of the branch lines— in the Sheiidan territory of the Yamhill Electi ic Company.

However, the games were witnessed by the largest crowd th a t has attended this year. The girls started the ball to rolling with a game of volley ball. I t was the best game we've seen them play this year The score at the half was 14 21 in Amity's favor and they kept the lead till the final score of 26-33. The main event, the boys' basketball game, came next and started by Am ity securing a basket almost the first thing. At the end of the first quar ter the score was 3-6 in favor of Am ity. By this time everyone knew they were going to see a good as well as ex citing game Both teams have been well trained and made some clever plays and it would mean a fight to the finish for either side to be victorious W hen the whistle blew for the half Amity was still in the lead with the score 8 to 7 Both team s made a num ber of fouls during the second half, and two W illamina boys and one Am Ity boy were disqualified. This fact Just added to the excitement o ’, the i am e though everyone was sorry for the boys who went out At. the third quarter the Willamina boys had gained several points and were in the lead by two points, the tcore being 11-9. The last quarter was a battle royal and the boys kept the crowd on their feet most of the time and finally ended with the score tied. 13-13. After a short rest three overtlm? periods were played, each one en&lng In U tie and when the final whistle blew they were tied with a score of 20 20 The play-of’ game will be played on a neutral floor In the near future The public will be notified of the time a id place. $150 A YEAR ELECTRIC COMPANY ASKS FOR FRANCHISE City council was called to order at 8 o'clock Monday evening by Mayor Neely, with all council men, city re corder. treasurer and city attorney present.
