CLACKA M AS E LE CT RIC C O -O P GETS JU I C E LAST W E E K ; 60 MILES O F LINE Most of the 190 rural residences in the Geo-ge, Garfield, Firwood, Dover, Porter and Eairle Creek com munities whose owners are members of the N .E .Clackamas E.ectric co op received electric power for the first time last week when the juice was turned on over the 50 mile dis tribution network. Process of enericizinir was super intended by Eric A. Johnson super intendent of the Wasco REA project and Art Hill service man on the setup. Distribution of power over the lines of the cooperative is the re. suit of years of effort on the part of the people of the various com munities to get electric power. Aid ed by a government loan of $66,000 members of the co op done much of the work of building this line them selves. They cleared the right-of-way dug holes and set poles, and perfoim ed most of the work on the line outside of the technical skilled labor required. It is expected that this coopera tive is merely at the beginning! of its growth and that it will eventu. ally have many times more member than it does today. Officers of the power cooperative are Carl J. Sandstrom president, Roy Maxwell vice president, Mildred Decker secretary, Frances M. Hiatt treasurer. Directors include C. A. Chaney, C. H.

SH ELTON SHAM G O PH E R S TO F IG H T IT IS C HA IRM AN O F ESTACADA OUT AT GRESH AM D I S T R I C T ; GO AL IS $500 The ancient rivals Estacada and Gresham will fight it out tonight on the Gresham grid when the Estacada Rangers and the Gresham Gophers meet in the football classic of the season. There are two important differ ences in the annual football battle between Estacada and Gresham high schools this year. First the game is being played on November 14th in stead of Armistice day and second it will be played at night under flood lights. The game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. and it is expected that a large delegation from Estacada will be on hand to give the local boys encour agement. While it is conceded that Gresham has one of the strongest teams in the Big Nine league and but for their defeat by the wily Indians from Che- mawa would probably be champions of the league nevertheless if the Rangers get the breaks they may make the touted Gophers hunt their holes in tonights game. The annual roll call of the Am erican Red Cross in the Estacada dis trict was launched this week with the goal for the local district set at $500 which is twice as much as the quota for last year. Attorney Frank J. Shelton of Es tacada is chairman of the local drive for Red Cross membership and he has appointed the following assist- tants: Springwater, Mrs. Lois Erickson; Garfield, Mrs. Eva Taylor; Dodge Mrs. Bessie Colson; Viola Miss Ber nice Miller; George, Mrs. Leo Rath; Porter, Mrs. John Rhodes; Douglas Ridge, Eagle Creek and Barton, Mrs. Grace Still; Three Links, Faraday and power houses at River Mill, F. G. Robley; Currinsville, Mrs. P. V. Eaton; Dover, Mrs. Joe DeShazer; Estacada. Mrs. Eva Dooley, Mrs. F. Shelton, Mrs. J .C. Rickiey, Mrs. Cla rence Jubb, Mrs .Clyde Schock and Mrs. Don Day. Chairman Shelton in commenting on the Red Cross membership drive said this week: “This year the Red Cross is calling upon all organiza tions, lodges and clubs for generous contributions in addition to menv- bership. We want to enroll every member of every family in this dis. trict .Every person living in the dis trict should join the Red Cross, ev ery man, woman and child.’' Membership in the county has been set at 8500. Owing to war conditions the work of the Red Cross has been greatly increased and there is urgent need for funds to carry on their great work. THURSDAY, NOV. 20TH, THANKSGIVING DAY President Roosevelt has proclaim ed Thursday, November 20th as Thanksgiving day and declared that in these times of calamity and sor. row elsewhere in the world, “we may give thanks for our preservation.” This is the third time the Presi dent has set Thanksgiving a week earlier than the customary last Thurs day in November which this year falls on the 27th. The main idea seems to be to provide a longer in terval between Thanksgiving and the Xmas holidays. In Oregon Governor Sprague ha? proclaimed that Thanksgiving would be celebated on the day selected by President Roosevelt, Thursday, No vember 20th. There seems to be a large quan tity of turkeys and other poultry on the market for the national feast day this year. Prices aire somewhat higher than in previous years.
