“ ‘It’s the good spirits a person has
that keeps life jolly even in this
war,” writes G. W. Miller's 86-year
old mother from Aberdeen, Scotland,
but while writing the above she drop,
ped her pen to seel: a bomb shelter
Continuing “ it’s all over now, I don’t
worry much save when the bombs
drop. I’m not like one poor old lady
the ARP found under a stairway hol­
ding a cooking pan over head for
protection. The poor thing hated to
leave her home even to seek shelter,
and a good many got a laugh out of
that.”
“ Everyone's going to war. I wish
I wish I could go too; your brother
Murdio tried to enlist but they told
him he was too smashed up in the
last World War, so they put him to
training recruits..
Mrs. Miller who has been in thir
country 20 years has a son, James
Stewart who passed the examination
in Portland Wednesday for enlistment
in the United States navy. ‘“ Even
since he was nine James has wanted
to be a sailor,, Mrs. Miller said.
With James, Edward W olfe also pas­
sed the examination for the navy.
The lads are chums in Sandy high
school and excellent in sports.

BLE BOOK ON NUTS
A new book entitled “ Nut Growers!
Handbook” written by Carroll D.
Bush o f Bush’s Nut Nursery on Or
chard Ridge is just o ff the press. The
book is profusely illustrated and is if
practical guide to the successful prsj
pagation, planting, cultivating, har­
vesting and marketing o f nuts.
Local nut growers will be particu­
larly interested in Mr. Bush’s new
book not only because he is well
known as a local grower but also be­
cause it contains many pictures of
nut orchards in this locality and much
o f the book relates to local condi­
tions.
Mr. Bush for many years has made
a thoro study of the entire subject
o f nut growing and the results o f his
experiences arc valuable and inter*
esting. He points out that the tree»
require intelligent care to produce
capacity crops.
All the nuts that can be grown ir
America are discussed at length, their
value and uses for food presented
and the sceondaiy importance of
their trees for ornament, forestry and
lumber are discussed.
Specific chapters detail planning
the orchard, planting, pruning, to-"*
working, seedling and worthless tr e e «
by grafting, harvesting, washing, po .
lishing, drying, stoiing, marketin I
and uses. In short the book covert
the whole field o f nut growing.
The Estacada country is well at’ ,'
apted for nut growing and the pros
pects are bright for nuts as a profit^
able crop for several years to corn:
Mr. Bush has given a copy o f hi
book to the Estacada library as
gift.

ing by 4-H club members will be

He recommends the program as a val­
uable one for Clackamas county club
members to tune in on.
H. H. Burdick president of the Port
land union stock yards company will
speak on “ The Livestock Markets in
Relation to 4-H Club Work.” Tho
Portund union stock yards have fot
twelve years sponsored a hog feeding
contest among 4-H club members for
which $1200 per year is supplied by
that organization. Those who parties
pate in the contest feed out for mar­
ket at least four pigs that are litter
mates.
The second speaker on the prog­
ram will be A. A. Albright, president
of the Portland livestock exchange
who will speak on “ The Portland
Livestock Exchange Scholarship Loan
Fund.” Scores of former club mem­
bers now in college have received
financial aid from this fund built up
by diverting the commission fees on
4-H club livestock sales to this pur­
pose.
R. L. Clark secretary o f the Port­
land livestock exchange will close tha
program with a review o f “ Twenty
