School Term to Begin Sept.
2nd According to
Plans
Three new teachers were el
ected at the meeting of the dir
ectors of school district 47 Sat
urday night. They are Margaret
Bennett of Vernonia, fourth
grade, Julia Keasey of Roseburg,
opportunity room, and Ruth Grif
fin of Portland, Vernonia.
Supt. I. N. Mc'Collom announ
ced the resignation of Mary Er
ickson, fourth grade teacher in
the Washington school for sev
eral years.
The Snyder Roofing Co. of
Portland was authorized to re
pair the roof of the Washington
grade school building at a cost
of $148. During the past year
trouble had been experienced
with leaking at some of the
seams, and it was deemed neces
sary to put a new coat of com
position wherever similar troub
le might develop this year.
The fall term begins Monday,
September 2, in both the grade
and high schools. It is not con
templated that there will be act
ual instruction in the grade school
until Tuesday.
GEO. EPPERLY HAS CANE
WITH IMITATION SNAKE
George Epiperly exhibited to
friends in town this week a cane
entwined with vine maple which
is a perfect imitation of a snake
coiled around it. Mr. Epperly
cut in the eyes *at the hea*d,
where there was a bulging in
the maple and the faint traces
of a mouth, and he put spots on
the maple to heighten the resem
blance.
Otherwise the imita
tion is natural. J. T. Scott took
pictures of it for Ripley’s “Be
lieve it or not” column.
