Keasey Extension Starts Meetings By MELVIN SCHWAB The Scappoose Indians com pletely routed the Vernonia Log gers last Friday afternoon at 1 -30 at Scappoose, piling up a score of 42-6 in their favor. The first quarter of the game saw the Indians run up a lead of 21-0 with the second quarter being scoreless. In the latter part of that quarter the Loggers started a drive from their own 40 and Brown went through the center of the line on virtually every play down to the Indian’s 18 yard stripe before the drive was stop ped. Earl W&ntland then inter cepted an Indian pass on the Log gers 35 and romped to the Indians five-yard line before being caught by a speedy Scappoose back. Brown tried three times to push the ball over and Williams once, but end ed up with the ball on the op ponents 6-inch line. In the rest of the first half Scappoose drove to the Logger 30 where the half time whistle ended play. At the beginning of the second half, Scappoose kicked to the Loggers who in turn were forced to kick on their own 35. A Scap poose lineman, however, penetra ted the Loggers defense and block ed the kick, catching it and run ning the 35 yards for another Indian tally. The Loggers once again drove the ball to the Indians 25, but an intercepted pass by Lange of the Indians was run back 80 yards for the opponents fifth tally. Final Scappoose score came late in the fourth period when Boggs, replacement for Lange, went over from the nine- yard line after a sustained drive from their own 40. The thrills of the afternoon, however, came when with less than two minutes to play, the Indians kicked off to the Log gers to the 30 where Williams picked up the pigskin, ran through a host of Scappoose tacklers with good blocking and covered 70 yards for the one and only tally of the Vernonia squad. Standout of the Vernonia team was Brown playing the fullback position who, by brute force through the line, gained most of the Logger yardage during the afternoon. The line of the locals on the other hand seemed to be taking a rest and seemed to forget all the blocking and tackling as signments they had been taught in practice in previous weeks. There wasn’t any doubt that the Loggers were outclassed by the Indian team, but they weren’t outclassed by 36 points. The team as a whole just didn’t play ball, looking like the team that Sea side defeated two weeks ago. • Painting, Repair Work Being Done 4 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, IMS VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON VOLUME 26, NUMBER 43 THE KEASEY home extension unit started meetings again Wednesday of last week when the group above studied remodeling of old felt hats at the home of Mrs. L.

Approxi mately five and one-half tons of cones were delivered to a drier at Salem where the seed will be extracted. This five and one- half tons of cones, or approxi mately 180 bushels, will yield about 90 pounds of clean seed. Because of the high quality seed produced in Columbia county, this 90 pounds of Douglas fir seed, which will grow about 2 million seedlings, will be sent to the Nisqually nursery to raise plant ing stock for the four Crown Zel- lerbach tree farms. The seed which will be sown by helicopter here on the Columbia Tree Farm, will be purchased from limited supply on the market. Due to the shortage of seed it has been necessary to cut the acreage from the originally planned 1800 acres to 1000 acres. The area is located along the Camp 9 road and south of the old Clark-Wilson tunnel. Plans are being made to harvest cones locally every year in the largest quantity possible. There was splendid cooperation exhibited by many local people this fall. It is the hope of the Tree Farm foresters that irt the future many more residents will assist them in cone collection so that more rapid steps may be taken towards getting all cutover areas back into forests. • Book Displays Will Mark Week The annual national book week begins November 14.
