COMMENTS OF THE WEEK
cultural station to be located on Rock creek
The hatchery has been sought for some time
and this time appears to be in line for ad­
vancement into reality.
As was stated in the report, the recent ex­
amination of the locality by the Regional Dir­
ector of the Bureau of Fisheries gives favor to
the Rock creek site as a location from which
a better stocking of streams could be made
due to the fact that Federal and State hatch­
eries cannot now adequately serve the de­
mand.
It should be realized that other examina­
tions must be made before the site can be
declared absolutely suitable. Those examina­
tions will be made at other seasons of the
year when different weather conditions will
give information not obtainable now. How­
ever, a favorable report has been made re­
garding the Senate Bill of Senator McNary.
$150 WELL SPENT FOR
SWIM POOL GUARD­
CITY COUNCILMEN can be commended
for a vote taken at last week’s meeting when
$150 was appropriated for the support of a
swimming pool lifeguard to patrol the pool
during the summer swimming season.
WPA labor was secured last year in pro­
viding protection for children who chose to
amuse themselves in the pool. The guard
obtained for the summer was required to be
on duty for only certain hours of the day,
there being many other hours when no pro­
tection was afforded swimmers. Under the
arrangements being made this year better
protection will be afforded in that a guard
will be on duty more of the time and will be
more experienced in the work.
It was estimated that cost for the guard
would be $300 for the summer, balance of
the funds not provided by the city to be ob­
tained by subscription. The provision for a'
guard will make for considerable safety for
those swimming in the swimming pool this
summer.

NEWS FROM SEVEN COMMUNITIES
ADJACENT TO VERNONIA-
LITTLE HONOR is accorded correspon­
dents who faithfully tabulate the weekly
events in the communities adjacent to the
central point from which the publication of a
weekly paper is made, but this week mention
is to be made of names of those who have
faithfully recorded the actions of neighbors
in those communities.
The Upper Nehalem Valley with Vernonia
as its trade center is represented in The
Eagle by seven correspondents who provide
news of those various communities apart from
Vernonia in addition to that news of the city
itself.
At Mist Mrs. Austin Dowling has corres­
ponded for The Eagle the events of the daily
life of her neighbors. Mrs. Dowling, well
known in her community, is widely acquaint­
ed and her work is appreciated as is that of
all the other writers. At Wilark Miss Dorothj’
Hanna, a newcomer to the staff, is tabulating
events in her community.
Keasey news events are written by Mrs.
W. J. Lindsley who has increased the news
coverage of The Eagle for those subscribers
on the Keasey mail route. Yet closer to Ver­
nonia is Mrs. Thomas Turner who provides
information af those people resitting on
Stoney Point. In Riverview Miss Ethel Par­
cells tells readers of developments from week
to week.
Close to Vernonia but in another direction
is Treharne where Mrs. H. E. Schram has,
over quite a period of time, provided sub­
scribers with the events of her territory. And
last but far from least is the work of Mrs.
Mae Tallman of Timber, again a correspon­
dent who has faithfully recorded over a
lengthly period of time the news of her town.
COUNTY NEWS-
St. Helens--
CITY TO TEST
FLOW OF WATER—
Testing of the city’s new well
now being drilled near the McBride
grade school building in West St.
Helens was scheduled for Saturday
morning. Installation of an elec­
tric line to operate the testing
pump was completed by the Gen­
eral Electric Company on Wednes­
day.
The drilling equipment has reach­
ed a depth of slightly more than
400 feet and present indications
are that a good flow of water has
been struck.
This is the second well the city
has drilled as auxiliaries for the
municipal system.

WORK STARTS
ON NEW JAIL—
Construction of the city’s new
jail was started this week by men
employed by William Quigley, Port­
land contractor, who was low bid­
der when the city council awarded
the contract some time ago. The
structure calls for am expenditure
of $3,380.
The jail, which is to be construct­
ed of concrete, is located adjacent
to the city fire station on Columbia
boulevard.

Combat Intestinal Poisoning
♦hat may be causing your
Biliousness, Dizzy Spells,
Headaches, Tired Feeling
If you ara one of the many folks that t
feels "punk" much of the time and suffer |
from little aches and pains, biliousness,
headaches, fatigue, “furry" tongue, and
•ven foul breath, we want you to know that |
▼ery often these conditions are due to the |
activity of harmful bacteria in the colon. I
These bacteria attack food wastes and
often produce poisons that are absorbed by
the body and so cause many very distress­
ing conditions. It is hard to kill these bac­
teria in the colon. Powerful drugs that
might kill them may also hurt you if taken
internally.
...................................
However, if you just slow down the
activity of these harmful bacteria that
cause putrefaction, nature will be given a
ehanee to set things right again.
Here s a marvelously simple way of
combating intestinal putrefaction that’a
proven to be effective in so many, many
cases. Best of all, it doesn't call for the
use of harmful laxatives or drugs. Modern
science now says that extract or concen­
trate of GARLIC gives valuable help to th«
colon in its fight against these poison­
creating bacteria.
If you feel "half dead" much of the time,
have minor aches and pains, headaches,
dissiness, or foul breath, it might well b«
that intestinal putrefaction is at the bottom
of it

WPA CREWS MAY
BE TRANSFERRED—
The first period for the month
for local WPA workers ended Wed­
nesday night and they will not re­
sume work until Monday. In the
Goble district there will be no lay­
off as the men there will be making
up allowable time. It is probable
that some of the local men now
working on the Chapman project
will be brought back to St. Helens
luring the week when the sidewalk
crew may be increased. Also, with
probability of soon starting on the
John Gumm school project, possibly
soon a'lter April 1, more WPA
workers will be on St. Helens pro­

Act we believe th-t it is best to
wait until we see just what is pro­
posed in the legislature to provide
annuities for public employees. The
Oregon Pension Federation main­
tains that if the State is going to
provide any other old age pension
l'or public employees than that
which is available now th all
people, including public employees,
then similar provision should be
made for all who have no more
protection under the Federal Act
than the public employees have; or,
all should wait until a universal

tem is substituted lor the present
dis riminating Social Security setup.
