1941 Oregon Trail
Pageant Promises
New Theme, Thrills
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
the American Declaration of Inde
pendence in 1778. Appropriate
verses and other stage effects will
be used to carry the continuity.
Finale of this episode will be a
dance utilizing almost the entire
cast portraying the melting pot
which is America.
Land Explored
Back again to Oregon the spec
tators then will be taken to watch
the Exploration of the Land por
trayed. Five principal scenes will ap
pear here the life of the Indians,
in which the theme of the Thun
derbird and the impressive rain
ceremonial dances will be out
standing; exploration from the
west or the Ship Columbia scene
in which the Gleemen will star;
exploration from the east or the
Lewis and Clark expedition; a
large, colorful scene at Ft. Van
couver with McLoughlin in the
leading role and the dances,
sports and life in the fort to be
shown; and finally a thrilling cli
max in which the advance scout
of the pioneer wagon train is
chased by Indians and escapes by
jumping a "real" (Mrs. Smith
promises) waterfall.
There is little need to describe
the next episode Entry into the
Land to Eugeneans who have
seen or participated in the previ
ous pageants. This will be the pio
neer scene, the true climax of the
show, in almost the same form as
in previous years. The wagon
trains will- wind over the moun
tains, stop along the trail, form a
stockade against Indian attacks
and the pioneers will then drama
tize typical activities of a night
on the trail cooking, eating, dis
cipline, marriage, birth, death,
washing clothes, singing and danc
ing, and finally sleep.
The finale is as yet a deep,
dark secret, but It will contain in
some way a tribute to this "deep
desire" for freedom exemplified
by the Pioneer. "You can tell
them that there won't be an air
plane," Mrs. Smith declared with
a rueful grin.

Cherry Pickers Next
Need of Employers
With the peak of the strawberry
picking nearly over this week,
Oregon's farm labor demand is
fairly well supplied except for
urgent need of cherry pickers in
The Dalles area, according to a
survey by the state employment
service.
Growers around The Dalles are
asking for 2.000 pickers for the
coming week. Employment offices
over the state are sending surplus
help as fas as possible.
uatneruig the pea crop in Uma
tilla county also is attracting out
side labor but so far no shortage
has developed. About 8,000 pea
pickers will be needed this mon
th, it is reported.
Mild weather during May slow
ed up strawberry ripening and
prevented a shortage of help, ac
cording to those responsible for
placing the 25,000 pickers in the
berry fields. While a few sections
last portions of the crop during
the recent warm spell, a major
part was harvested.

Astronomer Pruett Writes
Of Vega and Harp of Orpheus
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer, General Extension,
University of Oregon
As the twilight turns into night
during these June evenings, one
can hardly fail to be attracted by
a fine star high in the east and a
trffle to the north. This is Vega,
one of the brightest of the stars
and the only one of its brilliance
in this part of the early summer
sky.
By the time the sky is dark,
five dim stars become visible near
Vega. With Vega they form the
constellation Lyra.
To trace the constellation, start
with Vega. Then note the two
tiny stars, the nearest Vega of any
seen. These two and Vega form a
