5 Friday, Sept. 5, 1941, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon MOTORLOGGERS FOLLOW CAVALRY OFFICERS ’• ON BUYING TOUR THROUGH EASTERN OREGON Caution Urged As School Opens BY D. J. CONWAY With the opening of schools for the fall term motorists are again called upon to drive cautiously wherever children are crossing streets and to give full cooperation to the work of school safety patrols, it was emphasized in a report issued yesterday by the safety department of the Oregon State Motor Associa tion. While the school’ boy patrols do not direct traffic, their duty is t>o make sure that schoolmates keep o,i the sidewalks and cross streets only when it is safe; motorists should assist by yielding the right of way promptly whenever children have started into the crosswalks. Th!» I* on» of a «erics of articles condensed from The Oregonian, recounting journeys to lnt**re>i mg areas of the Pa cific northwest made in co-operation with th» Oregon Stat» Motor association. 1 ’ i ' I Does the army still use horses’ To obtain the answer to that question an Oregonian - AAA motorlog party traveled across I green Eastern Oregon nearly to ’ the Snake river to observe army 1 horse buyers in action. They found the answer in Pine Vai- 1 ley in the foothills of the.Wal lowa mountains. A tiny, blonde, I 13-year-old school girl, Kath- ' Iren Curtis, dramatically sup- I answer. It was an | emphatic but a heartbreaking j yes. Armies do use horses, for three army officers came to the quiet, picturesque Pine valley and bought many horses. But what made Kathleen an author ity was that they bought a horse she had helped raise. They bought her Percy’s Pride, a half ■ thoroughbred, four - year- old, sorrel gelding, with two white stockings and whose sire was Brown Sugar, an army re mount stallion. Like Member of Family To Kathleen it was almost like buying a member of the Curtis family. When she found that Percy’s Pride had joined the army brave tears coursed her sun-tanned cheeks as she bade him goodby. What do military authorities say about horses in modern warfare? Colonel E. N. Hardy, chief of the army remount service, in a recent speech said: "Why do they still use horses? Horses are still used because they can perform some functions nothing else can perform, and can still do some other things better than anything else can do them.” Law Limit» Speed "If I ever get into the army. I want this horse." said Wayne Curtis, holding bridle, when he turned "Percy's Pride" over to Lieutenant-Colonel F. W. Koester, right, of the cavalry. Behind Percy’s Pride, and thousands of other horses the army is now buying, is a story of long-range planning on the part of the United States army in co-operation with hundreds of ranchers. During world war No. 1 it was not easy to obtain horses ideally suitable for mili tary use. In 1921 congress authorized a horse breeding plan having as its primary object the produc tion of large numbers of good horses suitable for riding, which would be available for purchase in the event of a national emergency. Army Lends Stallions Under this plan the army has acquired pure-pred stallions of proper type to produce good riding horses. These stallions were placed in the hands of ranchers and other civilian Classified Ads............ FOR SALE—Nearly new Duo Therm with poweraire; complete unit worth new $105. Will sell for $55.
