The ground attack consisted almost entirely of off-tackle plays and end sweeps from a single-wearing formation. Sometimes running a T formation without shifting into a single wing proved to be very effec tive. Two break away. cross-bucks from the T produced the first touchdown and set up the second with runs of 43 and 20 yards.

S. 3C»88Ct5, fnfantkv; ed States Army, a member of Com pany C, 17th Infantry, distinguished himself by heroic achievement near Surang—Ni, Korea. On 14 October, 1952, friendly forces conducting an ex tensive offensive action against a stra tegic enemy-held hill were subjected to an intense barrage of enemy artil lery, mortar, automatic-weapons and small-arms fire, and the assaulting elements wer# pinned down. Private Poole led a small section in an attempt to flank the enemy positions and when they were pinned down. Private Poole with complete disregard for his per sonal safety, left his position of com parative protection and moved through the impact area, directing the fire of his men in order to bring more effec tive fire upon the enemy. When the assaulting forces were ordered to withdraw. Private Poole remained in his exposed position in order to pro vide covering fire for the withdraw ing forces. The heroic actions of Pri vate Poole reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. He entered the Federal service from Ore gon. tas Zumwalt, of the Oregon State Game Commission, gave a short talk and showed a movie, “Behind the Trophy.” The district commander and vice-commander of district No. 2, were present st the meeting.

It has been stated that the grange is one of the few organizations left that works on the principle of group cooperation, which has made this country great. This was proven by the success of the Fall Fair which was held Saturday of last week. « Two Den Mothers Needed For Smail Group of Scouts Two Pen Mothers from the Linn county side of Mill City are needed to council a small group of Cub Scouts, according to Ken Hunt.
