pushing the crop up. Some of the
yards will start Initial picking next
week with the picking load In
creasing in late August and run
ning Into September.
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." Daylight saving time has
also complicated matters, since the
beans are wet until late In the
morning.
Pay for picking has been let
by the growers at 2Vi ceti a pound
with a quarter cent bonus for fin
ishing the crop.
The assn. elected Truman Chase
president for the coming year,
with Horace Meyers vice-president
and Elbert Cox, secretary.

Tyro Climbers
To Get Chance
"Calling all tenderfoots. . . ."
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.
At 10 a.m., three riders will
start out on the first lap of three
express rides one going north to
Olympia, Wash., one east to Boise,
Idaho, and one south to Salem.
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. The 500-mile ride along
the original Old Oregon Trail to
Boise will take five days, with
Idaho's governor expected to re
ceive his horse-borne invitation
Friday.

Busy Jurist
Gets No Rest
PORTLAND M5) William O,
Douglas, associate justice of the
U. S. Supreme Court, still hopes to
get in a vacation.
He came West a month ago, and
in quick succession:
1. The Democrats kept his
phone ringing, urging him to be
come a candidate for (a) the
Presidency; (b) the Vice-Presidency.
2. Son Bill, 16, went into a
Portland hospital for a tonsillec'
tomy.
3. Douglas himself developed
dental trouble, and booked air
passage to his Washington, D.C.
dentist Monday night. He finally
found a Portland dentist to his
liking and cancelled the reserva
tion.
He intends to join his family
later this week at his Wallowa
mountain cabin where maybe
there will be peace and quiet. The
Douglases are scheduled to return
to Washington, D.C, by mid
September.
