The Parent-Teacher Associa­
tion, which, during the summer
months has confined its activities
to play-shed supervision, is again
taking up work with renewed
vigor. Judging from the prog­
rams arranged for the coming
months, the meetings will be
both interesting and instructive
and prospects are bright for a
busy happy year.
The first meeting o f the associ­
ation occurred Thursday evening.
Sept. 21st in the High School with
a goodly number in attendance.
It was o f a social nature, the first
part o f the evening being given
over to greeting old acquaint­
ances and new. Later, all re­
paired to the Assembly Room
where a brief business session
was held. Minutes were read,
reports o f committees heard and
the following committees named:
Standing committees—Member­
ship, Mrs. J. W. Reed, ch’ m,
Mrs. Byers and Mrs. Boswell;
Social Service, Mrs. F. B. Guth­
rie, ch’ m, Miss Wash and Mrs.
Jorg; Social, Mrs. Currin, ch ’ m,
Mrs. Chas. Sparks and Mrs. Giv­
ens. One other committee, not
standing, was named: Ways and
Means, Mrs. Kuhrasch, ch ’ m,
Miss Lilly and Miss Welch.
A fter the business meeting, a
short program was enjoyed, the
opening number being a delight­
ful vocal solo by Miss Bartlett.
Then fa1 lowed the discussion o f
the topic for the evening, “ Coop­
eration.”
Mrs. Devore spoke
from t h e parents’ standpoint,
bringing up problems which con­
front most parents. She handled
he’* subject well and her remarks
were greatly enjoyed. Mr. Guth­
rie then spoke briefly, showing
how much it means to the teach­
er to have the cooperation o f the
parents.
Conversation, m i n g l e d with
punch and wafers, concluded a
very pleasant evening.
I'he cOiiimit.ee in charge was
Miss Gertrude Dillon, Mrs. J. A.
Somer and Mrs. J. W. Reed and
much credit is due them for their
method of conducting this, the
first meeting o f the year.

ular meeting will be made later.

Few Birds Killed
i
More than one weary hunter
returned to the home fireside last
Sunday evening, foot-sore a n d
pheasantless, as the opening of
the bird season October 1st, was
the least auspicious o f any for
years past.
Many shots were heard in the
Currinsville and Eagle Creek bot­
tom land from daylight on. with
a fair waste o f a m m u n i t i o n
throughout Garfield and Spring-
water, but few pheasants fell,
for the birds were few and far
between, owing to the hardships
o f last winter.
Despite the increase o f 33‘ 3
per cent, in the prices o f ammu­
nition, considerable shooting was
done, with probably many shots
wasted in a vain attempt to bring
down the few birds flushed.
The continued cold weather un­
til late last spring seems to have
killed many o f the young chicks,
resulting in a latter brood o f birds,
many o f which were in evidence
this year, being about the size of
quail and still remaining in bands
with the mother birds.

Everybody Eating Venison
The Bible tells o f two loaves
and two fishes, which fed a mul­
titude, but it remains for Fred
Bannister and John Howland of
Estacada to feed a small multi­
tude with two deer, which they
killed last week in the mountains
near the Cary Hot Springs.
Judging from the number of
people who had a liberal taste of
the venispn, the animals must
have been the size o f oxen and
equalled in quantity the amount
o f generosity o f the lucky hunt­
ers.
