The group voted to petition School District No. 4 to consider postponing opening of the school year so that pickers would be more easily obtained. Growers present were critical of the state's withholding tax which Involves so many "small ac counts."

If you've always wanted to scale a mountain peak but felt you didn't dare because you didn't possess the "know how," here is the chance you've been waiting for. Sunday, the Obsidians will throw open the gates to all in experienced outdoor lovers and mountain climbers with a tender foot climb to the top of the Mid dle Sister. Prior to the war, these tender foot climbs were very popular. During the war period, they were called off, although the local Ob sidians did manage to squeeze one in In 1944. But Sunday, the train ing climb will resume with all of the trimmings. All interested persons should register at Hendershott's as soon as possible during this week. The, party plans to leave Saturday af ternoon, making camp at Sunshine Shelter overnight, and scaling the mountain Sunday. It is a 414 mile hike from the road to Sunshine shelter. If you have hiking equipment, so much the better. Every climb er should have good heavy leather shoes, warm clothes, including sweaters and windbreakers; a sleeping bag; food for one meal Saturday, breakfast Sunday and a lunch to eat on the mountain (such staples as canned pork and beans prove to be the best food for inexperienced camp cookers); and a lotion or preparation to prevent sunburn. Probably the first time the Ob sidians put on a "mass tenderfoot expedition" into the mountains and glaciers was on August 26, 1928. J. Ed Turnbull and three other Obsidian chiefs of that day escorted 73 enthusiasts to the source of the Collier Glacier. The next year 84 went on a climb to the top of the Middle Sister. For a number of years, with different leaders, this was the regular climb for the "tender foots." In 1939, the last big pre-war climb, Bill McCracken, Sr., decid ed he had bran up the Middle Sister enough, so he led the group up the South Sister from Green Lakes. The 1944 climb was again to tne top of the Middle Sister. Leader's on Sunday's tenderfoot climb will be members of the climbing committee Paul Laf ferty, Dr. Norman Lee, Ray Slmms, John Skiller, and Cho- leann Owens. Pony Express Rides Over Trail Again OREGON CITY "Via pony ex press" a famed by-word for expediency in the early days of westward expansion will return to the limelight here Monday.

All three will bear invitations to the respective governors of the three states to attend the Oregon City centennial celebration, Aug ust 12 to 15. An estimated 115 horses and riders recruited from 24 riding groups in towns along the routes will "pack the mall." . The ride to Salem will be com pleted in one day. Washington's governor will receive his invita tion during the late afternoon of Tuesday.
