JW0PW& 4 tVf&Cfitfr tn Eagle Vernonia, Columbia County, Oregon Cactus, Lily Blooms Early An occurance that, in the opinion of flower I'overs, rates mention this week as unusual is the early blooming of two plants owned by Mrs. R.

Portland District Leads Country A bulletin from the Navy De partment’s Bureau of Navigation has informed Lieutenant Glenn F. DeGraive, officer in charge of Navy Recruiting in this district, that his territory led the entire country in recruiting, on the basis of comparative populations, for the month of October. Under DeGrave’s supervision, the Portland district garnered 16 men per 100,000 population during the month. In second place was San Diego, with 15.63 men. During October Portland and its substations enlisted 233 men from among 468 applicants, almost 50% of all' men seeking enlistment hav ing been found acceptable. Campaign Stimulate» For the year, Portland stands second in enlistments, having en joyed the stimulation of the cur rent advertising campaign for a much shorter time than the major ity of the country’s main recruit ing stations. A total of 770 men have been enlisted here during the year out of 1738 applicants. The majority of those enlisted were sent to San Diego Naval Training Station, though a few coses were enlisted in classifica tions that sent them to duty with the fleet or on shore stations with out the necessity of further train ing. Last year Portland led the coun try in the final tabulation, and Lieutenant DeGrave confidently ex pects to repeat this record for the year 1942.
