VOL. XXXVIII HOOD RIVER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1927 World War Veterans—Are You Carrying Government Insurance? Uncle Sam still offers the advantages of his insurance policies to ex-service men and women. You have until July 2nd to act—but unless you act by then, your chance is gone. Don’t pass it by! Here’s insurance at lowest rates. Insurance backed by the government. Insurance with liberal provisions. And no red tape ! ” You can reinstate and convert the War Risk policy you carried during the war—‘in multiples of $500, from $1000 up to $10,000. To reinstate, it’s only necessary to pay two months' premiums. Unless you’re disabled, that is. Even disabled men can secure the insurance, however. If you are one of the 4,000,000 veterans who allowed their Term Insurance to lapse — take steps to have it re established. Get in touch with the Veterans Bureau—now. When you look toward tomorrow—there will be safety for loved ones, and for you, in this U. S. Government Insurance.

We are doing business with firms in this coun- try we have sold to for years, and who will want both Apples and Peans the coming season, They know our brand and quality of fruit We are doing business directly by cable with buyers in Europe, who buy with confidence having sold our fruit for several years. Some of these buyers have recommended us to others in new territory and we expect so have increased call« for both Apples and Pears the coming season. If interested in this method of selling, we would like to talk to you. DUCKWALL BROS E. A.

C7ie LEONORA The weekly dinner of the forum of the chamber of commerce, held Tues day at the Pine Grove Grange hall, drew one of the largest numbers re cently present at one of the weekly meetings. More than 100 partook of the sumptuous and delicious chicken dinner* served by the Pine Grove women. At the instance of Chairman Bennett a vote of thanks was extended the women and the grange for the hospitality. The meeting sounded a new note of cooperative effort between city and val ley folk. 'J. H. Kllbuck, master of the grange, who spoke briefly, voiced such a sentiment, and Rev. F. Gordon Hart, who delivered a talk for the forum, clinched the sentiment with a witty and impressive urge toward a greater cooperation. A, F. 8. Steele and R. W. Kelly, who with Arvo Hukari and M. O. Downing were in Salt Lake City last week to represent the Hood River Traffic asso ciation at a conference tailed by the United States Departmnt of Agricul ture, reported on the meeting. Mr. Kelly stated that it was an nounced following a conference be tween growers, shippers and the fed eral authorities that growers will be permitted to proceed during 1927 very much as on the past year. When the harvest of the 1P2M crop arrive«, how ever, the laws governing pure food products will be strictly enforced. Tbs coming year as on last season regula tions of foreign countries will be en forced strictly. "I am sorry,” said Mr. Steele, “that all of the growers of the Pacifie north west could not have been present and have heard the addresses delivered at ----------- ---- by ---------------- Halt I-ake (<tv R. G. Phillips, secre- tary of the Irfternational Apple Ship- pent asMK'iation, and Director Cainp- bell, of the federal bureau. It waa pleasing, too, to learn that the most of the work that has to date beeu accom plished toward cleaning apples has tieen done in Oregon. Frank Cutler and Prof. Henry Hartmann, of tbs Oregon Agricultural College were there. Plana had called for the forwarding of pamphlets from Washington, D. C., on the «pray residue matter. A mesaage, however, was at once forwarded to the department to withhold distribution of the documenta, for It waa shown by the investigations of the Oregon men that much of the data contained in them , was erroneous.” Mr. Steele said the meeting wa- at . tended by representatives from all sec tions. California growers, who met with difficulty last year because of the federal regulations, were present They declared they will meet the law in every respect this year, California growers, he said, will clean their fruit by means of acid baths. Mr. Hteele said the result of the necessity of the government In enforc ing the lews will result in the elimina tion of apple growing in certain sec tions where the control of the codling moth Is a serious task. Mr. Steele expressed the highest praise for Secretary Phillips and E. W. J. Hearty, the latter of the Maynard A Child Co., for their aid in getting the difficulty solved last fall. Guests of city metnliers of the fortim at the Grange chicken dinner were: J. G. Vogt. W. T. Pri<-e, W. V. Fike and G. A. Palmiter. Grangers intro duc'd by Howard Hhoemaker were: Perry Wells, E. E.

BELL TELLS OF TRIP SOUTH “It was a vqgy pleasant trip, even if it was a wet one,” said Mrs. C. A. Bell, who with Fred H. Bell returned Hat- urday from a tour of three weeks that carried them as far south as T xm An geles. On the way south Mrs. Bell and Mr. Bell traveled for many miles with out seeing the roadbed, for it waa water covered. Stakes had ts-en driven, they stated, at the side of the road, in order that travelers might not be ditched. “We were held up by the floods on our wsy down through the Hacramento valley,” said Mrs. Bell, “and as we re turned north we were delayed by the heavy rains that had raised the streams in southern Oregon. Bridges were washed out. Sections of road were gone. We certainly had all the experience we want with detours. * "But it waa interesting to note how swiftly skilled highwsy crews were on the job making reimirs, even before the waters bad subsided.” Mrs. Bell said that one of the things that impressed her most on the trip waa the presence of mbre cars On Ore gon roads than on the highways of California. “Perhaps," she said, “it is not the season of tonring in California. “But we noticed that we met far more auto mobiles here in Oregon than on the highways of the south.” Mrs. Bell says that the two places In California that impressed her most favorably were Stanford University and Riverside Mission Inn. Hhe de- clanes lx* Angeles nothing less than a wonder city. We traveled 3.518 miles,” said Mrs. Bell, u ‘ i and never had the least car trouble. In all that distance we saw only three cars off the highway, despite the weather conditions. 44’ While in Han Francisco we had a very pleasant visit with Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Sieg, and in Pasadena we mat Uncle Jimmy Buydam, whose seems to be fine.

BASKETBALL PLAYERS ELIGIBLE Every member of the Hood River high school basketball team, who played thia season, is eligible, accord lug to a statement made by Principal F. 8. Knight, and substantiated by office records of that institution. It was charged by The Danes high school that Bill Wright waa ineligible on ac count of grades, presumably low or failing grades. This is untrue, for Bill Is and has beeu carrying three or more subjecta all during this semester, with passing grades In all of them. Also, It was said that Victor Miller was in eligible, alleging that be has already played four years on a high school team, the first year when he waa in junior high school. Mr. Knight told Principal Kirkwood, of The Dalles, that if they had such proof against Miller, that it would cen taiuly make him Ineligible and that Miller would not be played, but no proof was produced. The Dalles, hav ing no proof of its contentions, has at no time submitted a protest to the iMMkrd of control of the Oregon High School Athletic association. In news paperstatements originating from The Dalles high school, it was said that Tin* Dalles had protested Miller and Wright. They objected to the players, but did not protest them—a protest be ing a written statement submitted to the Oregon High School Athletic asso ciation. These statements are made, not in any attempt to Incriminate The Dalles uor to aggravate the feeling that seems to exist, but rather to present the facts as they really are, thereby making clear to local folk who have taken Hood River’s previous silence In the nutter as a possible admission of the charges The Hood River players are all eligible, and aU records are open for Inspection at any time, according to word from the high school office. APPLE SERIES OF MEETINGS Progress to is-lng made toward ef fecting a greet cooperative organisa tion of the apple growers and shippers of the Pacific- Northwest, according to R. 11. Kipp, manager_of the marketing of <'oiniuerct-.

The first conference was held in Se attle with railroad officials, distrub- utora and other business men of that city. A conference followed-in Wenat chee with an advisory committee Of 24 at which resolutions were adopted unanimously indorsing the organisation plans. The Wenatchee committee made a special request for the services of Thomas B. Hill, of the Seattle cham ber, to aid In the organisation work, and a committee was named to confer with the Wenatchee Traffic association relative to coo(ieration in the plans. A similar meeting was held last Fri day in Spokane at which a resolution was adopted by the Yakima growers, distributors and busineas men was held Haturday at which the plan was ap proved. A committee of five was nam<*d at the latter meeting to confer with the Yakima Traffic snsociatlon to have this organisation join in the plans.

Hood wry nd Seem A 1 ctioM P or I w The co or<li 5 tan of all Hood River civic organise % « in the development of the recreate I and scenic attrac tion of Mount «d was pledged at a meeting called > i Thursday night by the Mount Hood committee of the chamber of commerce. While Hood River agreed not to seek aid of the state highway department in keeping the I-oop and Coopers Spur lateral roads open this winter, local organizations, backed by county and city authorities, will ask that the de partment’s budget for 1927 Include equipment for the maintenance of an oj>en road the coming winter.

The Men's forum, of the Upper Valley, will be asked to cooperate, and the Hood River Ministerial association will he asked to arrange for monthly com munity church services at the snowline of the- mountain during the summer months. Indications that all organisations will concentrate the coining summer on making the annual Mount Hood legion climb a memorable event. It la pro posed to make one day of the climb S Hood River community day and stimu late attendance of local people who have never visited the highland forests or snow A resolution naked that the board of directors of the chamber of commerce employ someone to visit the local auto- motdle camping parks the coming sum mer and give illustrated lectures to the tourists. The members of the Guide« last summer, with Dr. L. L. Murphy in charge, visited the parks each evening. Dr. Murphy reported that the tourists invariably displayed a keen interest in the mountain, although th« majority of them displayed only a meagre knowledge of the scenic attractions to be found there. "Our visits to ths park Were worth much in causing the tourists to remain and see the country,” said Dr. Murphy. “Unless we provide some such informa tion as they will secure from the pro posed lectures, they will pass on through and Hood River valley and the mountain will be unknown to them." . The program of the various clubs calls for complete signing of trails on the mountain. It is proposed that a well marked trail be extended entirely ■round ths jwvrir ries» to -ttmberitne. wh,ch wm,ld parties lost to find their way back to base camps easily. Plans are ts-ing considered for Ute construction of a commodious lodge on the Legion camp grounds. It is pro- pom*d to so construct the lodge that additional units may be added as re quired.
