Sentinel Sporkasler to Tell All on Weekly
Friday Night Reviews of the Sports Scene
If you like your sports dished
up to you in a frank and ap­
praising manner, with a lot of
sympathy for the kid who didn't
quite make that last-minute bas­
ket of touchdown, then you’ll like

er, Chuck Pritichard.
Already a fam iliar by-word in
the Coquille Valley, Chuck Pritch­
ard’s column, “Passing the Buck,"
w ill get a lot of amplifying F ri­
day night when the “pen-pushing”
athlete gets on the air and tells
the dope of the week, plus the
last minute dope on Friday and
Saturday encounters. .
A real thrill will wait the boys
and girls who play on the teams,
both high school and grade school,
for The Sentinel’s sports edition
w ill give out with not only the
dope but a weekly accolade on
those who really deserve it.
But it won’t be only football,
basketball, and track that gets
mention, you’ll also find fishing
prowess as well as the boy with
the quick and accurate trigger
who gets the pat.

users. Revenue from license fees
is more than $1,700,000 below last
year despite the increase in regis­
tration. This is due to the change
in the method of licensing com­
mercial vehicles, Newbry ex­
plained. Trucks are now being
taxed on the basis of road use.
. The safe, efficient movement of
the heavy traffic we are now ex­
periencing demands the coopera­
tion of all drivers, whether profes­
sional or occasional. That means
better, more careful driving,”
Newbry declared, pointing out
that greater travel on the same
roads means greater danger to all.
Oregon dairymen, constituting
one of the oldest organized com­
modity groups in the state, w ill
hold their 55th annual convention
on the Oregon State campus Jan.
17 to 19. Details of the program
are being worked out by W. A.
Johnson, Grants Pass, president,
and Roger Morse, O.S.C. extension
dairyman, secretary, and Arthur
Ireland, Forest Grove, chairman
of the program committee.

The practice started some years
ago of having breed groups hold
their annual meetings at the same
time as the main association con­
vention, w ill be continued this
year. This w ill include meetings
of the Oregon Holstein, Jersey and
Guernsey clubs.
As this is the legislative year,
consideration of proposed legis­
lation w ill be an important part
of the business sessions. Pro­
posed changes in or abolition of
the m ilk control law, and the ex-
piration of the law creating the
Oregon dairy commission for pro­
motion of the industry, are among
important items on the legislative
list.

Homemade or store-bought Bos­
ton brown bread loaded with
plump seedless raisins is delicious
for snacks. Heat it, cut into thin
slices, spread with softened cream
cheese and it's ready to eat.
