Spring Break
McIsaac plans Parkdale store in 1910
BINGO promotes
wellness
1910 — 110 YEARS AGO
By BRIDGET HINTON
OSU Education Program assistant
March is National Nutrition Month and we are excited to pro-
mote another year of Food Hero’s Spring Break BINGO project.
What is Food Hero? Food Hero is Oregon State University’s
social marketing campaign and program to help encourage
limited income Oregonians improve their health through the
increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and more fami-
ly meals cooked at home. Our Spring Break BINGO project pro-
motes comprehensive wellness for children and their families
over Spring Break.
The BINGO cards, in English and Spanish, include 24 tasks
covering healthy eating (14), physical activity (seven), and less
screen time (three) with the effort to promote a healthy and
active spring break. All tasks can be achieved and replicated by
most families. Look out for the BINGO cards at Mid Valley Ele-
mentary, Parkdale Elementary and Cascade Locks Elementary.
We encourage you to participate in this fun activity that can
include your entire family. Turn in your BINGO card at one of
these three elementary schools and you can win a kitchen tool.
Download and print your own BINGO card at www.foodhero.
org/bingo.

County Facebook page and our Instagram page, @hoodriver-

Plans have been approved
by R.J. McIsaac for a new store
building at Parkdale in the
terminus of the Mt. Hood Rail-
road, that will be one of the
largest in the valley. The struc-
ture will be 38x80 feet and two
stories high. The ground floor
will be occupied by the store
and the upper floor made into
a hall for meetings and other
purposes. The contract for
the new building has already
been let to Gassman & Klein,
the material ordered and work
will be commenced on it just
as soon as the weather per-
mits. The extension of the Mt.
Hood Railroad was completed
to Parkdale last fall.

While several of our local
doctors assert that there is an
improvement in the influenza
situation, the fact remains that
there is more sickness in town
this week than at any other
period since the influenza epi-
demic made it second appear-
ance. While it is true that there
have been no fatalities since
last weekend, many new cases
have been reported and there
are a number of cases which
apparently do not come up to
the standard of severity which
earns a quarantine card. Busi-
nessmen state that the city is
being avoided by a number
of residents in the valley be-
cause of reports of quarantine
violations and the result is
that business has fallen off far
more than the season of the
year would justify.

Among the proposals which
came before the city council
at its meeting Monday night
was one, submitted by Dr. L.L.
Murphy, for the installation of
about 15 drinking fountains
in various parts of town. He
suggested that these fountains
be installed by the city as war
memorials and stated that
they would not only meet a
long-felt want, but would be
the means of advertising the
splendid water which Hood
River enjoys. He suggested
that these fountains be placed
in both the downtown and
Heights sections.

problem.
Committee Chairman Jack
Baldwin told the News that,
unless “a substantial number”
of town merchants express
voluntary support for new sign
restrictions, his committee will
not push for adoption of such
a measure by the city council.
Several merchants have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the
present trend towards multiply-
ing projecting signs along the
town’s main business streets.
To solve the problem, the sign

The Odell community Club
sponsored a potluck super at
the high school gymnasium
Tuesday to discuss the merits
of a proposed uniting of school
administrative bodies in the
county. President Loren Fletch-
er of the Community Club intro-
duced James Broad, principal of
the Odell High School, who
gave a very impartial exposition
on the many problems which
will confront voters when and
if they are asked to decide on
the admittance of Hood River
city schools to the present Hood
River County School District.
School buses, hot lunches and
technical courses have brought
about a tendency for equal-
ization and the time has come
when it is more practical to
place pupils where they can be
handled to the best advantage
rather than in schools which
may not be strategically located.
VERBATIM
Imai Matches Perfect Mark
It came down to the last
frame and George Imai held
his breath a bit as the ball
headed for the wrong side
of the head pin. When the
dust settled, all the pins were
down and Imai had his first
perfect 300 bowling game.
It was especially good
because he’s rolled his game
in sanctioned play during
the late-February Nisei tour-
nament at Timber Lanes in
Portland.
It was also an event to
savor because the only other
person living in Hood River
to bowl a 300 game was
Hit Imai, his older brother.
The earlier 300 game was
at Hood River Bowl about
18 years ago. One other
300 game was on the Hood
River Bowl record. That was
Jim Winter, who is now de-
ceased.

his perfect game. He’d rath-
er have bowled it at Or-
chard Lanes, his home lanes,
which has yet to post its
first perfect game in league
bowling.
When he was getting close
to is perfect score, there was
bound to be some spectator
attention. But Imai said he
didn’t notice it. He was too
intent on each successive
frame.
Timber Lanes certified
that Imai had bowled the
perfect score but he hasn’t
hard yet whether it has been
accepted for the American
Bowling Congress records.
L ooking back, Imai
couldn’t come up with an
exact formula for bowling
a 300 game. “One thing,
though,” he said, “you’ve got
to have a lot of luck.”
