In the February issue of the Northwest Police Journal, Harry Phelps, police marshal of Ver nonia, received a splendid story on his speed in capturing the bank bandit last September in this city. The Police Journal with a cir culation of 20,000 gives Vernonia credit for having a wide awake Boy Scout Official chief of police. Visits Vernonia New Chevrolet Truck Causes Interest Here Considerable interest has been evidenced by the arrival in Ver nonia of several of the new Chev rolet six-cylinder trucks. Numer ous orders have been received by local dealers for models of the commercial line which feature un usual performance at a low cost of operation. Chevrolet has taken the same care and preparation in creating the commercial models that it did in making its famous passenger car line that has achieved out standing sales success throughout the world since the announcement was made less than 90 days ago. Four years were spent and over 100 engines built and tried out before Chevrolet engineers ad- vanced final approval. Economical performance that will average as good or better than the previous four-cylinder engine may be expected by own ers of the new trucks. The valve in-head engine is fully inclosed with a high compression, non-de tonating head, and develops 82 per cent more horsepower than its famous four-cylinder predeces sor. Among its features is a fuel pump which insures a positive and uniform supply of gasoline to the carburetor under all driv- ing conditions. The commercial line embodies three models—one and a half ton utility truck, light delivery truck and sedan delivery. The light delivery truck has been designed for all purposes where quick delivery of compara tively light loads is required. This model has a wheelbase of 107 inches and affords loading space, measuring 72 inches in length and 45 inches between fenders. It is priced 3400 f.o.b. Flint, Mich. A companion truck of greater carrying capacity is ths ton and a half utility truck. It has four speeds forward and reverse trans mission. The frame, 16 feet and % inches in length, is mounted on a 161 inch wheelbase allow- inr for body lengths up to 9 feet The six-cylinder utility truck has a new low loading height of 41 inches from the ground, which is made possible by a special “kiekup” feature in its frame. Application of various power de vices is made possible by a power take-off on the transmission box. Representing new standards in beauty and comfort for a truck unit the attractive sedsn delivery Is ideally suited for every light delivery requirement of specialty shops end department stores.

Shepherd, field execu tive of tlie Portland area council of Boy Scouts of America, with jurisdiction in 7 Northwest coun ties of Oregon visited Vernonia Tuesday, to consult with Scout master Dr. Cole and the local Boy Scout council. B. Pease, a member of the Portland troop who has received higher training in scout work and assisted Mr. Shepherd in work at the summer camps, will be sent to Vernonia to assist Dr. Cole, especially on hikes and outdoor activities and arrangements have been made where Mr. Pease, a pleasing lad of sixteen years of age, will find employment with the Oregon American Lumber company in their big mill, during his stay in this city. Dr. Cole has not at present the spare time which his needed to carry on the outdoor scout work, and this new arrangements will be of great benefit to the Vernonia Scouts. The Boy Scouts will in the fut- ture hold their regular weekly meetings in the American Legion club rooms, which recently were remodeled. Scoutmaster Cole with his new assistant, B. N. Pease, will short ly map out a membership cam paign, in which they hope to in crease the present enrollment Liberated Treat Large The state game commission adopted the policy of raising trout to a length of six inches or more before they are liberat ed. This insures a much lower mortality than was shown when much smaller fry were liberated. A six inch trout, liberated early in the year will make a substan tial growth before the season opens for angling.
