THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921 NEWBERG WINS STATE FIRE RECORD TROPHY SILK F U G WILL BE PRESENTED Governor Olcott W ill G raphig Make Pres entation At a Celebration to Be Held Here Later. Newberg muy well be proud of her volunteer lire department for it la rated as one of the best In the state of Oregon. Evidence of the excel lent work accomplished by the de partment wuh to be had at the recent lire which destroyed the Palmer gar age and other buildings. Further confirmation is contained^ in the news that the local department was awarded the silk flag which is given toy the state to the city maintaining the best tire record in the state for the past year. This trophy will be awarded by Governor Olcott at a 'celebration to be held here at some future date, which has not yet been set. The local department have been the guests at two banquets during the past week. One was given by the Duncan brothers on Monday evening at the J. H. Sherlock restaurant. This was a very pleasant occasion at which time talks were made by d if ferent ones, and a line banquet was spread.^'On Tuesday evening the de partment and the band were guests of the Ladies auxiliary of the Amer ican legion, when about forty-five persons were seated around tables at the legion hall. Following this ban quet a social dance was enjoyed. The local department Is celebra ting Fire Prevention Week this week and are endeavoring to educate the public along tire prevention lines in various ways. Announcement of the matter was made ,in the various churches last Sunday and drills and talks have' been made in the schools this week. In addition to this, Bigns Here stencilled upon the store win dows about town calling attention to the matter. Subscriptions were taken around town recently for the benefit of the department and quite a sum of money was contributed. This money will be used for the purchase of fire men's coats and Chief Sherlock In forms the Graphic that the sum was sufficient to secure a coat for. every fireman. The local firemen work without salary and also without any other form of compensation and the public should appreciate what they are doing for them. It Is no eusy matter to crawl out on a cold rainy night and go in answer to a tire call. Maybe It hasn't been your house yet. but you never can tell when it will be, and so evelrf citizen should feel a keen sense of apprecia tion for what the department Is do ing for the city. M. E.

R E V IV A L MEETINGS The revival meetings at the ^Friends church under the leadership of Rev. Llndlcy A. Wells of Green- leaf. Idaho, commenced last Sunday. Mr. Wells was unable to be present at the Sunday services but arrived In time for the meeting on Monday evening. Mr. Wells was here In a revival service about eight years ago and at that time established a rep utation which has caused the pres ent meeting to start off most auspi ciously. The attendance at the meetings this year has been excellent and there Is a splendid spirit manifest, which bespeaks a most successful series of meetings. NEWBERG HIGH SCHOOL WILL PLAY SILVERTON HERE FRIDAY The Newberg high school Is look ing forward to a successful year in football this-season. E. J. Noft- slnger. who has come to fhe N. H. S. this year from McMinnville will coach the boys and Mr. Noftsinger is very, much pleased with the out look. Between twenty and thirty boys have been turning out for scrimmage each night and with any luck at all they should be able to turn out a winning* team this year. For example there are about ten let ter men on the team and it 1 b high ly probable that /the entire back field will be composed of letter men. This in a big advantage to any team. However, luck sometimes does prove to be a factor in a team’s suc cess or failure. If luck ie to b e'a factor In this year’s football aggre gation. It would appear that the N. H. S. team is out of it, for already five of the «players have met with injuries. • The first game of the season will be played on the local fl#ld and will be with SUverton high school. This game w ill'b e played on Friday of this week. Newberg has been hand icapped through getting started so late in the year. Most of the high schools had a few weeks earlier opening than did Newberg. Mr. Noftsinger states that at this writing he haH not been able to definitely 'line up the team for to morrow’s game and it may be possi ble that different men will be given an opportunity to work out for posi tions that day. However,' there seems to be no dearth of players and there is apparently plenty of weight for the line as. well as old players for the backs. The public should turn out in numbers to encourage the local high school boys to put up a stiff fight for the winning of this opening game. Newberg will probably play games with Forest Grove, Dallas and Ore gon City and the Thanksgiving game will be between Newberg and Mc Minnville.

City officials got into 'real action last Saturday night and raided a game which was being conducted in a local place of business which bad been closed since the lire and was supposed to be opened in a few days. Night marshal Wallace overheard some conversation on the street which interested him and he inves tigated and found quite a number of men gathered behind the blinds and playing for money. He notified the mayor and with the assistance of the day marshal and young Calkins they proceeded to raid the place. , They secured a heavy timber which they used as a battering ram and forced the doors in and with revolvers levelled upon the group, prevented any from escaping. All were taken to the city bastile. Re turning a search was made of the place and a bottle of something said to contain more than 2.75 per cent was located. The place which had formerly been conducted as a restau rant, had recently changed hands, a man named Miller having purchased the place. All of the parties were hailed be fore the city recorder on Monday and Miller Was fined $40 for gambling and $60 for conducting a game. A l len Drury and F. Crawford were each fined $40 for gambling, while E. Martin and E. W. Cornelius were fined $25 for simply looking on. It is said that there was about $7 on the table when the officers broke in. Most of the men paid their fines and were released but Miller Is still being held as he claims that he did not have sufficient money to pay the fine.
