But it does not make any practi cal difference who was the first discoverer. In any case Colum bus’ voyage was most adventur ous, and he it was who aroused European interest in America. Our high school football team \ may be excused if they feel a lit tle chesty just now. A paper was circulated last week among the business men and others, to raise funds for providing the football team with newr equipment. It met with a generous response as was right. Those who like mushrooms must be careful to distinguish between the edible and poison ous varieties. The former can be distinguished by the color of its gills which at first are pink and later turn a dark brown. Never pick one whose gills are white. Serial Film to be Shown The Sunday night shows at the Family Theatre will consist of a serial film and a comedy. The title of the former is “Trailed by Three” with Stuart Holmes and Frankie Mann in the chief roles. It is most thrilling and the trail leads round the world and you are taken from the sky scrapers of civilization to the luxurious harem of an Eastern potentate; from America to the borderland of the Ottoman empire where east meets west in the conflict of civilization. Republican Rally There will be a rousing repub lican rally at the Family Theatre tomorrow, Friday, evening when Major Cassius R. Peck of Port land will discuss the issues of the campaign. Candidates for coun ty offices will also be present. Women voters are specially in vited. Parent-Teachei Meeting There will be a parent-teacher meeting in the High School audi torium next Tuesday at 3:30 in the afternoon. All mothers are urged to come and meet the teachers. GAINS AGAIN Outplayed and outgeneraled the Jefferson team bowed down to defeat at the hands of the local team by a score of 2(5 12. From the spectator’s point of view, this game was more thrill ing than the Camas game, but a follower of the game would pro nounce it a very ragged, gridiron scene, Estacada f urn biers lost several touch-downs and proved to be the point winners for Jef ferson. Raymond Lovelace was % high man in gaining yardage through the line. Arnold Love lace helped in bringing home the bacon by catching t w oblong passes. Saturday’s game brought out several weak spots. Shifts have been made which is hoped will strengthen the team materially. The team ’s fight has increased 100% and their “ pep” never lags. The High School students, and especially the team, wish to ex press their sincere thanks to those who contributed to the fund for the purchase of new equip ment. Forty-eight dollars were donated in all.
