Bond Quota in
County $180,000
Columbia County’s quota in
the new U. S. Defense Bond drive
is $180,030, according to Philip
L. Hickey, county chairman.
The theme of the campaign is
“Defense Is Your Job, Too,” and
the slogan, “Make Today Your
D-Day — Buy U. S. Defense
Bonds,”
Primary objectives are to pro
vide funds to make the country
strong defensively and syphon
off excess earnings to restrain
inflation. Individual communi
ties, however, will emphasize the
appeal of Secretary of thy Trea
sury Snyder to use bonds to pro
mote systematic thrift among
individuals to provide themselves
against reverses as well as im
prove their way of life at a later
date.
Archery Club Tourney at
Mist Draws 175 Bowmen
George Revis, president of the
Pope-Young Field Archers, was
well pleased with the turn-out
for the 16th annual tournament
held this year at the club range
of the Nehalem Archery club
near Mist. This year the tourney,
which is always held on Labor
Day week end, proved to attract
the largest number or archers in
the organization’s history.
One
hundred twenty-seven
archers competed in the two-day
meet with approximately 175 reg
istering for the annual barbecue
which was ably prepared this
year by Art and Betty Dorio of
Mist.
Mr Reavis, who is also the
president of the Nehalem Arch
ery club, prepared the range for
this popular event and all those
who helped are to be commend“d
for their part in making the !
tournament the huge success that
it was.
Place position rather than ag
gregate score is the basis on
which the championship rests.
For example: if a contestant
placed 2 in the clout shoot, 4 in
the wand, and 1 in the Pope-
Young animal round his score
would be 7; if a second contestant
place 3 in the clout, 1 in the wand
and 6 in the Pope-Young round
his score would be 10. The first,
or lower number would be the
winner.
Residents of the Nehalem val
ley who would like to join the
Nehalem archers may do so by
contacting Darrel Rose at Bush
Furniture or Mr. Reavis at 6036
N. E 32nd, Portland. Members
are privileged to use the nation
ally approved field range at Mist
at any time.

By MELVIN SCHWAB
On Monday, September 10,
Coach Lee Pangle counted 36
future enthusiastic gridiron tus-
slers out for pigskin practice,
beginning the third week of the
1951 season. This number falls
short of the record turn-out of
50 men who were on the roster
last year. Of the 36 turning out,
11 are returning lettermen with
five being first string members
last yc4*. Positions left vacant
by graduating seniors are being
filled by sophomores and juniozs
on the most part. Spirit runs
high with competition very keen
with the freshmen fighting just
as hard as the seniors for those
conveted positions.
Gordon Crowston, three-year
letterman, will be carrying the
brunt of the Logger defense and
offense this year. Crowston, was
one of the outstanding players
in the county last year, particu
larly in defensive play, and will
be one of Coach Pangle’s main
bulwarks qf defense.
The Loggers settled down to
tackling, blocking, perfection of
plays and mainly getting into
shape for the first game this Fri
day night against the Forest
Grove Vikings. Forest Grove,
«ho was considered a pushover
last year by practically every
team, is reputed to have a good
team this year and will definitely
r.ot be the easy mark they were
during 1950. The Vikings will
use the single wing back forma
tion while the locals will use
the swing T formation.
According to Coach Pangle the
Loggers will lack experience, es
pecially in the line, but have lots
of spirit and drive and should
provide their opponents with a
scrappy game. The freshmen
class has contributed consider
ably in number, size and spirit to
the squad.
Vernonia’s starting line-up,
which sports two 200-pounders
and a team average of 170-pounds
to the man for Friday night is:
