Such was the case at Milwaukie last Saturday night when .350 members of the various com munity clubs o f Clackamas county met in the beautiful new high school building and enjoyed the whole evening from supper to late adjournment. It is now the “ Sewer that makes Milwaukie Famous.” The meeting marked the formal opening o f the new county bridge over Johnson Creek at Milwaukie, with M. S.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By Lillian Duncan The students of the E. H. S. e: ’oyed an entertaining talk given by Mr. Lillard of the Curtis Publishing Company, last Tuesday afternoon lie told them that by selling th' Country Gentleman, Saturday Ever.- ng Post and Ladies Home Journa they would receive 50c for each ubscription sold, and in this wa Increase the money in the studeni body treasury. Estacada high school’s “ footbal’ banquet,” sposored and conduct« ( by the junior class, will be held or Friday, December 10, of this week. The senior boys won the inter-clas: basketball championship last wee!: when they defeated both junior and freshman classes by the scores of 17-14 and 21-7, respectively. The cooking class has just finished their luncheon unit by serving tw ■njoyable luncheons. Their firs: guests were Mr. Olson and family, and their second guests were Mr. Baker and Mr. Drew. BIG TIRE ORDER HERE The largest tire order ever stock ed in Estacada at one time has just been received by Bob Cooke, local Ford dealer. The tires are the well- known Goodrich make. LO G A N B E R R Y NEEDS BOOSTING Those in the fruit game who have remained more or less loyal to the loganberry will be pleased to know | of the large increase in shipments j this season o f canned “ logans” to I the United Kingdom. Figures of the | Port of Portland for the first eight months o f this year showed that 189,280 cases valued at $720,4468 were sent out from this one port to Great Britain. This was 24,000 more cases than were exported to that country in 12 months last year. /A natural deduction is that the English people make much use of canned loganberries in preparing jam, for the consumption o f which they are noted. Whether this is the use to which the fruit is put or not is of no great consequence. The point of interest is the fact that this splendid and too little known fruit is winning wider recognition. Tho loganberry deserves far wider dis tribution than it has ever obtained, it merits advertising and much of it. The loganberry’s friends know th mistakes that caused its downfall They were purely the mistakes of men and not of the fruit. The “ lo- gan” has a real field of its own. That field is a large and virtually unfilled one. From the sound position it now carries this berry might be advanced to wide popularity. We say the friends of the loganberry are miss- ...g a bet in not uniting to make its merits known. It is one of those .are classes o f foods which bring re peat orders from those who try them. in HU!
