COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON Appointments Asked of Donors for Bloodmobile Shoe Service Store Opened Work on Project Wins Feed flward of 200 pints has been established for the community. Appointments may be made by phoning any one of the following: Mrs. Winston Walker, 1066; Mrs. Charles Wall, 844; Mrs. Bill Wil son, 1407 or Mrs. Guy Thomas, 1011. The increasing need for filling the quota is emphasized now because the plasma reserve for fighting men has been exhausted and because more blood than ever is needed. The armed forces have suffered more than 70.000 killed and wounded in Korea, but the rate of death among the wounded has been cut from four per 100 in World War II to 2.6 per 100, partly because of the use of more blood. Toppers to Start Court Practice Washington grade school’s bas ketball team will begin prepara tion for this year’s net schedule next week under the tutelage of W. F. MacDonald, grade school instructor who was also last year’s coach.

THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1951 Grade Traffic State to Examine Bids for Patrol Group Oiling of Scappoose Road Reorganized New Equipment for Squad Provided by State Safety Man A reorganization of the Wash ington grade school traffic patrol squad was earned out Monday by James Beyerly who represented the traffic safety division of Ore gon. The patrol members received helmets, badges, belts and traffic flags the same as other school patrols throughout the state are using so that car drivers will recognize the same markings here as are being used elsewhere in Oregon. Under the change made Mon day, the patrol will hold traffic only when youngsters are in the safety lane. Otherwise children will be detained on the walks until there is an opening in traf fic. One patrolman on each school bus must guide youngsters across the highway at bus stops and crossings must be made only in front of the bus under the Oregon law which also requires motorists to stop when meeting or overtak ing a stopped bus on the high way. Another ruling that observers say is not being obeyed here concerns« bicycles. Youngst?rs riding bicycles are required to stop and push their bikes across the safety lane in front of the school, not ride across. The Washington school squad now numbers 36 members of which Leroy Higley is captain and Bertha Keasey, lieutenant. Of the heavy traffic which passes daily in front of the Wash ington school, very few cars fail to observe the safety precau tions provided. Those that fail to slow or stop at that safety lane are most usually of the hot rod type, observers have noted. Club Sets Date For Annual Tea The date of Tuesday, November 13 has been established as the date for the annual library tea, an affair that is sponsored each year by the Vernonia Study club to further the program of raising a fund for a new library building. Club members have been plan ning for this year’s event for several weeks. The November 13 date falls during the week of November 11-17 which has been set aside as national book week and during that week book displays will be arranged by the library board in an appropriate observance. At the tea, which is open to the public, entertainment will be provided by two librarians from Longview who will give book teviews and by local talent in the form of musical numbers. On November 8 bids will be received by the state highway commission for the surfacing and oiling of the 5.65-mile Pitts burgh-Wilson Creek section of the Pittsburgh-S cappoose county road, according to word received here Wednesday from the high way department. Plans call for the relocating of Films to Show Survival Means Scheduled for showing to the public at the Washington school next Tuesday, November 6 will be two movie films dealing with survival in the event of an atom bomb attack. The showing will begin at 7:30 that evening and each picture requires about 20 minutes to screen. Arrangements for the showing here have been made by the Co lumbia Tree Farm safety com mittee which will also meet that evening after the filming. Titles of the two pictures are: “Pattern for Survival,” and “You Can Beat the A Bomb.” The films are deemed highly important by civil defense au thorities in that they show how protection can be gained from the bomb blast. Student Report System Changed The students of Vernonia high school will receive report cards this year under a different sys tem than has been in effect here previously, Warne Empey, prin cipal, said Wednesday morning when he explained the procedure to be followed now. Each student will receive a card for each subject he or she car ries instead of one card for all subjects and the cards will be is sued every nine weeks or quar terly during the school year in stead of every six weeks. The new system also provides for the sending of personal letters to parents of youngsters who are having difficulty with school subjects. These letters ar? mailed at the end of the fifth week of the period to acquaint parents with the particular problems of their youngsters. Cards will be issued next week for the first time this year. Teacher« to Meet School classes will be called off for the first two days of next week while all teachers go to Seaside to attend the annual workshop Monday and Tuesday. Teachers from Columbia, Clat sop and Tillamook counties will participate in the affair. 0.44 mile of the route at Elk creek with the creek being car ried acrops the new highway through a 6’x6’ concrete box cul vert, the placing of new rock base materials varying from 2 to 19 inches in thickness as re quired to augment existing sur facing over the entire length, and oiling 20 feet wide and 1% inches thick throughout. A 90-foot new reinforc?d con crete bridge is planned over the easterly crossing of the East Fork of the Nehalem River and a 75- foot new reinforced concrete bridge is called for over the wes terly crossing of the same stream. Both structures are to replace old wooden bridges which are in poor condition and costly for the coun ty to maintain. The section to be improved ties in with the recently improved county section of road on the west and with the recently com pleted State improvement on the east. Completion of the contem plated contract will bring the en tire route to good standards of construction. Appearance of Paper Changed Appearing for the first time last Friday was the printed edition of The Timberline, Vernonia high school student newspaper. The publication had been mimeo graphed at the school previous to last Friday’s issue. Editor of the publication staff is Sharon Magoff and advisor for the staff is Mrs. Sid Sorensen.
