Boy Kidnapped by Five College Beauties! You’ll find out how the gals do It when you see u u i e e IS S J M l M e M i C M a three-act play by Jean Provence, to be presented by the Gilded Dagger Dramatic Club at the Hood River H igh School Auditorium Developments toward an exclusive park that promises to be most unique are reaching completion this spring after nearly five years of effort- George Y. Morrison on his property located in the Columbia River just north of Hood R i v e r city, is making a recreation park of great beauty. Transportation to the spot will necessarily be by water, but Morri son is planning boat service for patrons when he opens the park. On the river side of the island away from the town of Hood River a 10- foot pier has been built from the clubhouse to a point far enough out in the channel for a good sized boat to dock and tie up. On the end of the pier is a huge old fashioned school bell, newly painted and ready for calling river travel for a time of relaxation. On the north end of the island a channel has been dredged for small boats to run nearly into the center of the island where a turnaround is under construction with a hoist for pulling small boats out of the water for inspection and repairs. Morrison has added to the natural vegetation of the island by planting a total of 800 locust trees and 1600 other trees and decorative shrubs. Numerous areas have been seeded with a special hardy grass and drift fences have been constructed to prevent drifting sands from cover ing the grounds. Trails have been built all over the island opening up many secluded spots. These have been grubbed out and equipped with outdoor fireplaces for picnic parties. Four thousand feet of pipe was used in piping the famous Hood River water to the island to connect with various outlets over the grounds. For sports enthusiasts, a variety of diversions will be offered. Tennis courts will be built, outdoor bowling facilities will be constructed and badminton grounds. A bath house will be available for swimmers and a sandy beach with gradual slope and still water will be a welcome attraction. A large club house is now well under way in construction with a huge fireplace. An out-door dance floor is another feature. The majority of the island is well above the high water level of the river, which measures 82.5 feet above sea level. Normal height of the pool will be 72 feet. The highest point on the island is 110. Port Improved When Pool Is Lowered Taking advantage of the lowering of the pool above Bonneville dam, local water sports enthusiasts and the Hood River Port Commission Friday and Saturday sponsored the clearing of the future site for the moorage of small river craft, along the mole north of the Union Pacific depot. Workmen began at noon Friday, snaking out stumps and logs with the aid of a winch operated from John Connell's tow car. Men in hip boots waded in the mud fastening cables to the cumbersome debris. The operations cost a total of $240. A minimum of 17 men were employ ed, who worked 18 hours each. The clearing operations were fin anced by the Hood River Port Com mission. Removal of the cofferdam on Hood river is another pending operation. Channel buoys will be installed as markers for the channel and the Inland Chief, making calls at the Hood River port will pass through these markers to dock at the new moorage. The dredge of the Gil pin Construction Company, the firm which is now carrying on the oper ations of raising and repairing the Interstate Bridge, will be used in the future to deepen the channel. Negotiations are now under way on the part of several large oil dis tributors to use Hood River terminal facilities for bringing in their pro ducts by water. Plans are also under way for a mid-summer regatta to be held in Hood River, the point mid-way on the newly-formed Lake Bonneville. Use the metal part of discarded garters as loops for hat pads and hand-towels. FRIDAY, April 22— 8 p. m. Automobile Rebuilding Motor Reboring Recipes . . . Brake Repairs Apple Cobbler Pare and core 3 to 4 juicy apples. Slice into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle Vi cup sugar over, and a little cinnamon. Make a batter of 1 beaten egg, Vi cup sugar, V4 cup milk, 1V4 cups flour sifted with 1 tablespoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Lastly, add 2 table spoons melted butter, beat well, and pour over the apples. Bake V6 hour in a moderate oven. Serve hot with your favorite sauce. Household Hints— . Don't increase the dose of medi cine prescribed by a physician. Do not take medicine in the dark. Don't use medicines that have stood on your shelves a long time. Good Tilings to Know— Chicken fat may be used as a butter substitute in cooking. Try using boiled noodles as a top ping in place of pie crust for meat or vegetable pies. When browned they give a nice, crusty covering. For a quick dessert, cut cupcakes through the middle, cover the lower half with sliced peaches, replace the top and cover with whipped cream. Ignition Adjustments ♦ Bartol Motor Company Hood River, Ore. DODGE & PLYM OUTH SALKS and SERVICE J. F. V O L S T O R F F on the Heights Hood River Gasoline Trailer Burns On Columbia River Highway Three thousand gallons of gasoline went up in smoke shortly after mid night Friday night, when a truck trailer of the Blue Line Transfer of Portland, loaded with gasoline, over turned on the Columbia River High way three miles east of Hood River. The driver, John E. Pettitt, reported the trailer side-swiped a rock cliff when rounding a curve, and over turned. Gasoline spilled out and be came ignited. Though the rear tires of the truck were burned, safety valves on the truck tank functioned, releasing gas and the truck itself was saved from the flames. The highway was blocked from 12:30 until 4 a. m. Saturday morning, when State Officer Bob Raney al lowed one-way traffic to pass. Rats first came to this country in 1775 with ships that moored here. Now it is estimated there are 123 million rats in this country, almost as many as there are persons. Poi son bait prepared with red squill is the best way to get rjd of them. P E R C Y L.
