Collection of
Old Clothing
Started Here
A national drive to collect as
much old clothing as possible
during the month of April is
being sponsored and carried op
here by the V.F.W., is the an­
nouncement made here this week
by those members of the pest who
have been placed in charge of the
drive.
All types of serviceable cloth­
ing for men, women and child­
ren are urgently needed in Eu­
rope in areas where people have
been bombed and burned out of
their homes. Infant and child­
ren’s garments
especially are
needed a.i 30 million of the des­
titute people in Europe are child­
ren.
Those in charge of the drive
locally believe that practically
every home contains clothing
that is not being and probably
never will be worn, hence could
be placed to very worthwhile use
by being turned in at collection
depots. People are earnestly
urged to search their belongings
and d'spose cf articles that can
be used for the purpose indi­
cated.
The collection is to continue
for all of April and articles may
be left at the Upgard Paint Store
next to Lines’ Shoe Shop on
Bridge street. The clothing need
not be new or in style, the only
requirement being that it be
wearable and clean.
Track Practice
Progressing Now
Coach Orile Robbins' trackmen
are getting in condition for com­
petition this spring, he states,
with about tiO boys turning out,
some by cross country running
and others by jumping practice
in the high school gym. Wet
weather and a muddy track con­
dition prevents much outside
practice. New students and hold­
overs from last year’s team give
prospects for a good season.
Hold-overs from last year in­
clude Sturdevant, highjump; By­
ers, 220; Enneberg, high hurdles.
Softball is also due to start
soon, weather permitting, with
morning and noon practices pro­
ceeding a definite play schedule.

tion of the Oregon milk control
act. The hearing will not have
any connection with laws passed
at the recent session of the leg­
islature, it is pointed out.
Although matters to be dis­
cussed will be primarly of in­
terest to milk; producers, distribu­
tors, and dealers, the hearing is
open to consumers and others
interested in fluid milk market­
ing.
E. L. Peterson, director of the
state department of agriculuture,
will be represented by an ex­

Aid for Disabled 2570 Citizens of
Is Poppy Purpose County Filmed
Poppies to honor America’s
dead warriors of two World Wars
will be worn in Vernonia on Fri­
day and Saturday, May 25th
and 26th, Mrs. Freda Biggs,
who is poppy sale committee
chairman of the American Le­
gion Auxiliary announces this
week.
Between March 24 and April
5, the chest X-ray survey unit of
the Oregon Tuberculosis associa­
tion filmed 2570 citizens of Col­
umbia county* as follows:
Clatskanie 324, Vernonia 619,
Rainier 287, St. Helens 1227, and
Scappoose 113.
The little red flowers will pay
tribute both to those men who
have died for their country* in
the present war and to those who
fell 27 years ago in France and
Belgium. The money that is re­
ceived for the flowers will be
used to aid the afflicted veterans
of both wars and their families.
The officers and members of
the Columbia County Public
Health assiciation, who sponsored
this unit in Columbia county, are
deeply indebted to the industries
for their fine cooperation in this
program.
•
Extensive preparations for the
observance of Poppy Day are be­
ing made by the Auxiliary here
under the leades^hip of Mrs.
Biggs. Everyone in the city will be
able to buy the flowers of re­
membrance from the many vol­
unteer workers who will be on
the streets both days.
The flowers are made of crepe
paper on the pattern of the wild
poppy of Flanders. Making the
poppies has helped ’disabled vet­
erans keep their minds and fing­
ers occupied, causing the other­
wise tedious months to pass
quickly and at the same time
furnishing the men with a means
of livelihood.
This year it is expected that
more Americans than ever before
will wish to wear the poppies as
a salute to the dead soldiers and
their bereaved families, and as a
financial aid to the living but
disabled soldiers and their needy
families.
Annual Poster
Contest Ending
If the citizens of Columbia
county purchase Christmas Seals
in sufficient quantities, this pro­
gram will be repeated annually,
for it is the desire of the Nation­
al Tuberculosis Association that
every person be X-rayed each
year. The only source of funds
for this service is from the sale
of Christmas Seals.
