It has been esti- mated that the strawberry yield will be cut down prob- ably one-fourth. Among the apples the Winter Banana, Spitz, Ortley, Jonathan and probably other varieties have been seriously affect- ed. The D’Anjou may have escaped with the Bartlett, on account of blooming ear- lier, but the Winter Nellis was probably nipped in most places. This warning may prompt the demand for orchard heaters in the fu- ture. Announcement was made by the post office depart- m e n t t h i s we e k t h a t a fourth R.ED. route will be established here, the ser- vice beginning on the six- teenth of next month. This carrier will serve 265 fami- lies and the route will cover 25 miles. His salary will be $1200, the same as the pre- sent carriers receive.

This information was con- tained in a statement which was given to this paper dur- ing the week by Lewis A. Arthur, of Portland, vice- president and general man- ager of the power company. The exact figures covering the kilowatt hour output on the Hood River feeders are as follows: 1917, 1,407,900; 1920, 1,739,640; and 1924, 2,734,502. The four hundred Port- land businessmen who, last year, endeavored to per- suade the officials of the Parkdale Strawberry Festi- val to postpone their affair as it was seriously interfer- ing with the success of the Rose Festival are using dif- ferent tactics this year. They have, and correctly, sensed the magnitude of the Parkdale constellation and are now engaged in a drive to raise the gigantic sum of $250,000 to combat the inroads the Parkdale will sign up for six months, should present themselves at the earliest moment to the Relief of fice in the Franz building and register.

The two men, who expected to be the first in to the lake this spring, had to forgo their claim when they found that Bud Hatfield, Bill Lassen, J. D.

This field is sponsored by the Hood River Flight of the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the Army Air Forces, and most of the work has been done by m e m b e r s o f t h i s group.

Girls and boys 15, 16 and 17 years of age are especial- ly urged to investigate the program offered by the local C.A.P. This program for avia- tion in Hood River is in line with the overall pro- gram of the Army Air Forces as outlined by General H.H. Ar nold, Commanding General, who has made the follow- ing statement: “We are earning our leadership the hard way and we do not intend to relinquish it. That is where our young people — young men and women alike, boys and girls — come in. The Civil Air Patrol is p r ov i d i n g A m e r i c a n youth, tens of thousands of them, with indispens- able training in aviation. “Those young people will not have to start from scratch. They — and we must increase their num- bers from tens of thou- sands to millions — will form a new pool of expe- rience, both military and commercial. As they come to maturity, Ameri- can air power too will come of age and that com- ing of age will be our best guarantee, not only of the leadership in the air, but of our very existence as a sovereign nation.” — Hood River News, May 4, 1945
