Number 8 EMPLOYMENT OF Bicentennial Anniversary Mayor Offer Resignations No Action Is Taken Upon Conditions They Propose OREGON TEACHERS PHEASANT PENS TO BE ERECTED BEDDING NEEDED ONLY IS URGED ________ I Employment of Oregon teachers J only in filling vacancies for the' coming year is urged by C. A. Howard, superintendent of public I instruction, in a circular to Ore-j gon officials. For the year end ing August 31, 1931, 265 teachers J for other states secured Oregon teachers’ certificates, he says. 18 are in Columbia county, Elizabeth C. Murray, county superintendent,! reports. While Supt. Howard is not suggesting dismissal x>f these teachers to make places for others'; he points out that every time al school board elects a teacher from outside the state an Oregon man or woman will be left without em ployment. The Community Chest has need of warm bedding and will appreciate the donation of any surplus bedding that Vernonia people have to of- fer. The Chest is grateful for the hearty response to its appeal for a child’s bed last week. They were able to supply the need immediately and had at least five offers. “You can’t say the Eagle doesn’t get results” said a committee member in com menting. According to Lester Sheeley, secretary, members of the Ne halem Rod and Gun club are to take up a proposition of the Ore- i igon state game farms for stock ing young pheasants in this lo cality. According to conditions offered by the game commission pheasants will be supplied at weaning age and feed furnished provided the local club constructs holding pens and cares for the birds until released. The cost of building the hold ing pens, according to the state game commission, should not ex ceed one dollar a bird, and the club expects to raise the money without difficulty. The pens are built to last 10 years or longer. Recall T u o Be Voted on February 27 Petitions Against Council men Filed Saturday Afternoon Mayor J. E.
