Picnic for Soldiers
Give Full Afternoon
To Food and Contests
Over 100 soldiers from Camp
Adair enjoyed a unique form of
entertainment last Sunday on the
campus of the (h-egon College of
Education, when 50 families from
Monmouth and vicinity gathered
on the grounds with picnic lunches.
The soldiers arrived at noon, mixed
and mingled with the families until
1 o’clock when Lt. Mix called them
together, the women from each
family each picked two boys and
led them to where lunch had been
spread on the ground under the
trees. Hot coffee and cream were
furnished by the chamber of com­
merce.
After eating, some of the fami­
lies took soldiers to their homes
for a couple of hours, others took
them in their cars and let them get
a look at the holly grove and wal­
nut orchards, but most stayed on
the grounds. Some played tennis,
aome just visited. Two games of
softball were played, the first be­
tween two army teams, the second
between the team from the army
and a girls team. The boys were
scheduled to leave at 4 o’clock to
reach camp in time for supper, but
the soldiers were willing to forego
supper rather than leave, so they
did not leave until 5 o’clock.
added to these six runs a counter in
each the third and sixth innings to
make the final total of eight.
The Lumbermen were able to get
only four scattered hits off Kruger
and scored just three runs.
The hitting for the winners was
led by Doc Quesinberry who hit
twice in four times at bat. He wa«
the only man on either team able
I to collect more than one hit.

Canning Pea Crop
!
Calls for Workers
With one-sixth of the nation's
1942 canning pea crop at stake,
eastern Oregon and Washington
growers today sent out an emerg­
ency appeal for harvest help.
Near ly 40,000 acres are ready for
harvesting. More than 5000 men,
women and children already are
in the fields and canneries are
working three shifts a day.
But peas are spoiling an the vines
because of a labor shortage. Don

A triple in the fourth inning
Rob Quesinberry, Pepsi-Cola short­
stop, scoring two men proved to be
the deciding factor of a fast, tightly
played contest in Corvallis Mon­
day night in which the Bottlers
squeezed out a 5 to 3 victory over
the hard-trying Soldier outfit.
After Varrvlman. first man up
for the Pepsi» in that inning, had
hit a double and scored on an er­
ror, breaking a 2-2 deallock, Pow­
ell got on base with a single and
was followed by Clark who drew a
base on balls. This was followed
by Quesinberry’s long triple into
right-center.
The Soldiers came right back
in the fifth inning in an attempt to
even things up again, but after one
run had been scored on two walks
and a sacrifice fly, the Bottlers
settled down to retire the aide An­
other rally in the next inning was
quelle,! by th«- tight pitching of Mil­
ler after the bases had been loaded
and only one man put out.
The Pvpsis game ml two runs in
their first time at bat when Bob
Urban drove in two tallies with a
high dupble to center field. Inci­
dentally. Urban was playing his
last game for the Bottlers, having
been drafted and expecting to leave
We«tnesday. His consistent hitting
-will b<- missed considerably by his
team.
The opening game saw the Laun­
dries score a win over the Lumber­
men by an 8 to 3 count. Doc Ques­
inberry hit a triple in the first in­
ning and pushes! across three runs
after one tally had been scored by
Beard, first man up for the win­
ners. Quesinberry then scored on
an error by the Lumber Co. third
baseman and was followed by Mil­
ler who stole home. The winners

Robbins, Pendleton manager of the

mated at least 3500 additional men
are needed.
Hundreds of women and children
are being hired to work in the can­
neries and drive harvest trucks.
They will not solve the problem,
however, because "they cannot do the
heavy field work—tossing the
laden vines into harvesting
chines.
Other complications make
the most difficult harvest.
