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.
