VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONÎA, OREGON PAGE TWELVE Debts Make Flame at Church Rites Burning of Mcrigg'*. Notes Featured Sunday Evening As End of Jubilee Week VERNONIA YOUTHS FULL OF FIGHT, MARSHAL FINDS HAROLD HOWARD TAKES POT SHOT AT VACANT WALL Two Vernonia school lads were “sore” at each other Tuesday afternoon and man aged to maneuver into a fis tic encounter after school. Marshal King was on the job soon after the fight started and the boys were taken in tow, marched to the police sta tion and the matter talked ov er. Developments indicated that the two boys did not care to divulge the cause of the en counter as the situation was delved into by the officer. However, after some discuss ion into the relative merits of the fistic incident,, both agreed to go their way and bury the hatchet. A mother of one of the lads was anxious to learn of the marshal why the boys couldn’t finish their engage ment and “have it out”. Mar shal King couldn't see it that way, however. Firearms for use by Ver- nonia’s peace officers have not been needed, as a rule, but the officers are expected to know how to use them if, and when, an emergency arises. Harold Howard, deputy mar shal, was looking over a saw- »■d-off shot gun one morning this week . . . between 2 and 3 o’clock . . . and he start- ed the action that was sup posed to eject a shel. In of ejecting the shell ... he was making his private invest igation in the city hall police headquarters . . . the gun fail ed him and the pin dropped on the cap. The report, he thought, could be heard for miles. Though the slugs im- bedded in the wall, as the smoke of the incident cleared, no damage was noted save to Howard’s disposition.

At the Washington grade school 299 tests were made. Nearly all were pupils but a few of the teachers and several pre-school children were tested to swell this total. At Lincoln grade school 57 were tested and at the high school 125 submitted to the test. Readings on those tested were taken yester day but results were not available for publication. e Miss Alley said that not all of the first grade pupils at Washington school were tested due to difficul ties which arose when two or three of the tots became frightened. These will be tested sometime soon, she said. The nurse added that a positive reaction does not, necessarily, give rise to fear but that as soon as a positive reaction is noted, she con tacts the parents and advises X- rays and added medical care to arrest the disease. Ha« Accident— Considerable damage to the Carl Jensen car was suffered W ednes- day when it was involved in an accident. Jensen was not injured in the mishap, the report states.

The staff said as far as it could be learned, he hadn’t. “Well, I just did,” said “Abe” and he explained again that Uncle Sam’s custodian would have to think up another way to get publicity.
