yards around right end to notch the
first Sublimity score. Late in the
fourth quarter Ron Bentz plunged 14
yards off left tackle for the second
counter. Bentz added both points after

Club Program Topic
I
The regular weekly meeting of the
Lions club was held at Friendship
hall Monday evening. Following the
dinner, program chairman V. S. Todd
introduced Lee Ross who was in
charge of the program for the week.
His topic was a short history of
the Lions club since it was organized
here in Febhuary 1948. He stated that
of the 22 charter members only seven
of the original members were still
with the club. Four of the five past
presidents were present at the meet-
ing Monday night. They were: : V. S.
Todd, Shields Remine, Carl Kelly and
Lee Ross.
In his short history outline he gave
a list of the many accomplishments
of the club in the years that it has
been active in Mill City.
Following the meeting the members
adjourned to the scout cabin where
they finished siding the front and
east end of the building. Each week
some woik is being done on the cabin.

At the meeting of the City Council

Johnson, Gates farmer, who had failed
to return Friday, October 2, from a
short scouting trip into the timber,

used; a mounted posse, from Albany,
together with hundreds of men and
school students from Sublimity, Scio,
Stayton, Mill City and Gates, had
searched through the rugged moun
tain area for miles in every direction
without avail. Because of a recent
heart attack, the family and search

He had a friend of his bring in a
60 foot pole. This he has placed at
the rear of his building in Gates nnd
on top of the pole he has his TV
antenna. When asked how he turned it
to get it in proper position he showed
us a hole in the pole. He said: ‘‘All
I do is place a bar in the hole and
turn it to whatever position is best.”
He is getting an almost perfect
pattern, too.
