Library, U of 0 VOLUME 28, NUMBER 37 VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON Logger Spirit High for 1st Season Game Fri. Against Banks Braves W Tuesday, September 12, Head Coach Lee Pangle and Assistant Coach Bob Hoefs counted 50 noses out for grid practice the second week for perhaps one of the largest turnouts in the history of Vernonia high school. Of the 50 men out, 18 are freshmen who are fighting as hard as the seniors for those prized positions on the first team. Spirit runs high throughout the squad over pros pects of a winning team this year. Vernonia met the Forest Grove Vikings last Friday evening on the local field in a scrimmage designed to iron out both teams’ rough places. For two and one- half hours the fracas lasted with the locals getting the best of it in both defense and offense. Noted from the sidelines was the spirit which prevailed on the field and which has been lacking for several years. The spirit was prevalent even on the sidelines among the substitutes. The Loggers’ tackling, block ing, and running of plays were lair considering that, for the most part, the team has had only one week of practice. In Coach Pangle’s words, “Any team that wishes to play ball as much as these boys do will be hard to defeat in any man’s league.” On Friday evening, September 15, the Loggers will play their The first aid planning commit tee for civil defense met for the first time Monday, September 11, in the American Red Cross office in St. Helens, The purpose of this committee is to plan and organize a first aid training program for Co lumbia county. In the govern ment’s request to the American Red Cross to set up such a service it was considered neces sary to have one qualified first aider for each family group. In the event of disaster, civi lians will be compelled to treat their own injuries, so it is neces sary to train and qualify as many as possible to meet this contingency. The first phase of the program is to contact all former first aid instructors to take a refresher course. The second is to interest others who have had first aid training to take ths instructors’ course and become instructors. It was estimated that about 75 instructors are needed for Co lumbia county. Ralph E. Carlson, field direc tor of the West Coast Area of the Red Cross, suggests that teachers, foremen, and P.-T.A. leaders, with special emphasis on women, become instructors for this work. Each member of the committee will contact his or her respective Library Adds More Books New books received by the Vernonia Public Library late this summer are: "The Wall,” John Hersey; "The fardinal,’' Robinson, Henry Mor ton; "The Perfect Journey.” Frieda M.
