But it’s a lot more inconvenient to find yourself in a hospital with broken bones that won’t mend overnight. Getting out on the street side is not a sporting gesture. Per haps you don’t get hit yourself. But you can cause a car to crash into something else if a startled driver swerves to miss you. • Exit by the curb-tide door! Out of your car by the wrong door can be worse than “out of the frying pan into the fire!’’ Get out of your car on the curb tide, says the AAA driver training book, “Sportsmanlike Driving.” Cold shivers leap up and down the spine of the driver who sud denly sees a car door fly open on the street side and someone step right out into his path. Next — a frantic shriek of brakes! And it’s only luck if another terrified pedestrian isn’t added to traffic fatality sta tistics ! Figures Show May Expenditures of County Public Welfare Commission Expenditures of the county public welfare commission for the month of May were released a few days ago by Mrs. Eva L. Tice, ad- minstrator. Next month the commission expects to release some figures on adoptions in which the department plays only a minor part.

The June meeting ot the Co lumbia County Historical society was held in the Chapman grange hall with a good attendance. A bountiful dinner was enjoyed at noon, served by the Chapman Grange ladies, after which early days were recalled by several pre. sent. George Nelson told of early logging operations by the Chap man Logging company, beginning in 1906, when logging roads were built and a railroad to take logs out to the river. This was then a densely forested area with fish ing a main attraction for local sportsman. Game also was plen tiful such as deer, game birds and bear. LOGGING STARTED In 1910 logging operations were carried out where the Winn and Hoag places now are. Fred Mol- ltnhour told of his first trip to this area on a motorcycle in 1913 over rough, hilly roads. He later came to live in 1920, when he began clearing a ranch and doing logging. In those days much hard work was necessary with hand tools. Now mod rn machinery makes the old grub hoe or mat tock almost a thing of the past. Mrs. Leila Bushman told of her father’s dairy ranch where they lived. This was the West place. Sh? remembers going by wagon to what is now known as Bonnie Falls, also her first trip to Ver nonia 50 y.ars ago, when she joined Pomona Grange. EARLY DEATHS NOTED Old homsteads were told of on the Sierks road and in this area in 1911 th? murder of Mrs. Daisy- Wehrman and her small sen took place. It is a matter of record that John Arthur Pender was convicted of this crime and re ceived a life sentence in 1913. A logging train accident also was recalled in these early days; when several men w.re killed and many others injured. J. G. Watts told of many early day experiences from his early memories and through th? years. He told of land boomers who sold land to early comers who knew little of farming and who would be unable to make a living on the land. There was also a min- eral spring here, from which the water was barreled and shipped to the outside world for medical purposes. IRON MADE INTO PAINT From the iron deposits, ship ments were made for paint manu facture. This paint seems to have been a good quality and long lasting when applied to some local buildings. The Pisgah Home was recalled and the work of Mother Lawrence in caring for old men who neeaed help at this place. Her establish ment was on a large scale at one time and remnants of these buildings remain. Plans w.re made to visit Ciat- sop county museum in August, plans to be work -d out later. Also, plans to meet in Septerr.oei will be completed during the summer. This will probably b? in Vernonia or vicinity. Th.- Celilo Falls Indian fishing grounds east of The Dalles on U. S. Highway 30 will see one of itsdast salmon fishing seasons this August and September, since The Dalles Dam Lake will cover must of th? falls.
