the old man on THE HILL SA YS— Yesterdays FIVE YEARS AGO From The Eagle. Sept. 6, 1945 Fall Touches the Air There is a touch of fall in the air this morning. Not only do I sense it. The birds seem, to be thinking along the same lines. Swallows are sitting in long rows along the telephone wires; blue jays are picking up the hazelnuts; young robins are gourging themselves upon fruit and worms—building up their strength and endurance for their long flight southwards; sparrows are busy eating the fallen ripe seeds and wrens, juncos and fly catchers are feeding at the base of the flower bushes, picking the callen seeds. Plants and bushes, vine maple and other trees are making ready for the coming fall. Leaves are taking on the colors of the sun— The real goodness of our American way of life stems from a gracious spirit of tolerance, moderation and good fellowship. Light beer is the beverage of moderation. Enjoy — dipping into the color barrel that fall so graciously provides, know ing full well the many tree people will help themselves in their untidy way by splash.Y.g and dripping its many colors along the hillsides and valleys and touching all plant life till its colors are exhausted. What a picture this topsy-tur- vey method produces—not mo dern in any way, not impres sionistic in any way. It makes the artist grieve that his brush cannot capture all the beauties of nature and transfer them to his canvas. Summer is almost gone. Soon will come the grey rain and then the frosts. Mother Nature is teliing her children to prepare for the rigors of winter. The pine squirrel that lives in the old fir tree is building up his store of food for winter. He was so busy shucking the seeds from the fir cones that he hardly took out Hme to scold as I went by his tree this mornin«'. The cotton tail rabbit that lives under the wild blackberry bush is so fat that he waddles as ’he scurries to his sanctuary. The old doe that lives in the swale beyond the lower pasture has donned a new raiment; she has changed the rusty, red coat she wore all summer for a new one, blue-grey it is, with just a hint of brown. Very natty she looks in her new ensemble, but I wish she would keep out of my strawberry patch. Yes, fall seems to have touched th"1 air, just as though the leaf of a book had been turned from one page to another. Fall is in the air. Can’t you notice it? Can’t you smell it? Another addition to the West Oregon Electric system was con sidered last week when people residing at Chapman and on the east fork of the Nehalem met to hear Manager J. W. Nichols and County Agent, George Nelson ex plain details. A state policeman and three deputy sheriffs arrested Robert Brockman here last Wednesday when he stopped at the Vernonia Service Station and he has been returned to the state penitentiary from which he escaped in March. He has been living near Treharne. Thirty-five suits have already been issued for early season foot ball practice, that being the turn out this week. An increase to over 40 can be expect d after Monday. September 15 will be the last day of the issuance of home can ning sugar, local food rationing executives for the OPA mention ed this week. TEN YEARS AGO From The Eagle, Sept. 6. 1940 The third successful Vernonia Host Days celebration came to an end Monday evening when the Vernonia firemen concluded the scheduled series of events had provided entertainment for spec tators. Opening of old age assistance rolls recently has resulted in 65 new applicants at the St. Helens office, Mrs. Eva Tice, county ad ministrator, said this week. In vestigation of these 65 will pro bably result in about 50 per cent of them being placed on the rolls starting October 1. Plans for a bigger and better Eagle’s Day celebration were being whipped into shape this week by the various committee groups of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. First day enrollment figures of students entering ths Washington and Lincoln grade schools totaled 479 it was revealed Tuesday by E. H. Condit, superintendent.
