L ib r a r y , U of 0 Headwater Ponds Add To Angling New fishing waters for Oregon anglers are being created each year and the latest of these is a series of headwater ponds being built by Crown Zellerbach com pany which holds promise of long range angling benefits. Coopera tion with the Oregon game com mission has resulted in stocking these small impoundments with cutthroat trout. All ponds will be open to public angling except during summer fire closures or during days of actual logging. Pond building by Crown Zel lerbach is located in the Vernonia area on the E. P. Stamm tree farm in headwater tributaries of the Nehalem river. The entire op eration is under the direction of Bob Lindsay, tree farm superin tendent. Primary objective of the pond development is for fire protec tion and stems from logging op erations in 1960 in an area where water was in short supply and fire danger fairly high. Walt Floeter, faller for the com pany, suggested a little blade work with a Cat in a high mar shy meadow would create an im poundment of around 6 acres and furnish an adequate water supply in case of fire breakout. This was done and proved so success ful a second pond was developed in the same general area that year. Lindsay continued with his pond building program this past year and completed four more impoundments in the Nehalem headwaters. The impoundments vary in size from 4 to 6 acres and have depths ranging from 12 to 20 feet. These ponds have also been stocked with cutthroat trout by the game commission. Lindsay is enthusiastic over the program and plans to build ad ditional fire prevention impound ments wherever possible. Lind say is also enthusiastic about the fishing potential as a secondary consideration for these waters. Anglers intending to fish these small headwater impoundments will have to hike in since all are located off the main logging roads. Counselling To Be Discussed The Columbia County Gover nor’s Youth Committee will meet at the court house in St. Helens Monday, Sept. 25, at 8 p.m. A speaker from Salem who is fa miliar with the family counseling service of the city and Marion county will be on the program. The local county committee— W. E. Curry, Rainier; Mrs. Myron C. Whitbeck, Scappoose; Miss Grace Roumagoux, St. Helens; Mrs. Henry Anderegg, Vernonia, and William Neuffer, Clatskanie —will report their study of the program for family counselling service in Columbia county. They have interviewed many interested people who would work on the counseling service program. The family counseling service is available to all families by ap pointment through the Columbia County Youth Committee and will be active as the needs arise in the future. The counselors will not be professional, but will be laymen who understand the prob lems of our local culture. Oer noni a Eagle VOLUME 39. NUMBER 38_________ VERNONIA.

Contact with Havlik of Scappoose who did part of the lagoon work, brought in formation that the same end could be achieved by use of a farm tractor and disc at a frac tion of the cost.

The council instructed the re corded to write the engineers a letter informing them than an other solution had been tried.

Loggers Collect 2 n d Season Win Coach Clark Anderson's Ver nonia eleven made it two in a row last Friday night when they journeyed to Hood River and de feated that team to the tune of 21-0 in a very hard fought tilt. With this game under their belts the Loggers not only remain in the undefeated ranks, but also are unscored on and have aver aged 30 joints per game. Hood River kicked off, starting the second league encounter for both teams. Vernonia’s Cox pick ed up the ball and returned it to the 38. Vernonia sticking strictly to the ground drove the ball all the way to the Dragons’ 45. Mangat then zigg-zagged his way to the 21-yard marker and then Crowston hit Mangat on the 10 with a perfect bullseye. Cox took the ball from that spot and ripped through the opponents for the T.D. Try for point was good with Crowston carrying. Vernonia kicked off to the Dra gons following the T.D. and the Hood River eleven proceeded to return the ball to their own 34. From there the River boys drove all the way to the Loggers’ 15 with a first and 10. One running play and three unsuccessful pass attempts resulted with the locals taking over on their own 24( Ver nonia proceeded to drive to their own 33 where they punted to the Hood River 48 with Schmidlin re covering a fumble at the first quarter’s end. The second quarter started poorly for the Logger squad as the Dragons drove all the way to the locals’ 14 where Vernonia once again rose to the occasion and held Hood River on downs. Taking over from that point Ver nonia drove all the way to the opponents’ 24. Freddie Mangat was the man of the hour as he dodged the whole Dragon eleven and went into the end zone for the T.D. A pass from Crowston to Aultman was good for the extra point. The second quarter ended with the Hood River eleven trying desperately to score via the air lanes. Third quarter action once again started with the Hood River ele ven on the move, penetrating all the way to the Vernonia 10. Again the Loggers held, taking over on downs. The rest of third quarter action was a see-saw battle with neither squad threatening seri ously. Midway through the fourth quarter the Loggers started to move again, going on ground plays all the way to the Hood River 29. Crowston faded back and hit Hamnett who in turn lateraled to Redmond who scam pered the 29 yards for the Log gers’ last tally. Try for point was good with a pass from Crow ston to Holsey. The score of this game is misleading in the fact that the game was much closer than the Schools Slate Time Change All schools in district 47 joint will operate on standard time, beginning Monday, September 29 and busses will run on standard time that morning, also, accord ing to a” announcement made last Thursday by Joey Acaiturri, superintendent, following the an nouncement by Columbia County Judge John Whipple that the en tire county would return to stan dard time at 2:00 a m. Sunday, September 24. People are reminded that to return to standard time, clocks are set BACK one hour score indicates. The Hood River eleven gathered in 12 first downs to only 11 for Vernonia, but the Loggers held when they had to, which was the determining fac tor. The standout in the Log ger backfield was Freddy Mangat who drove the Hood River tack- lers crazy with his dodging tac tics. Randy Aultman on defense ini the Logger line was in on tackle after tackle and a thorn in the side of the Dragon squad. All in all the whole Vernonia team played a very good game. Vernonia will journey Satur day to engage the Concordia ele ven in league action. This game will be an afternoon encounted and Vernonia will have to be at their best for the game. The Concordia squad defeated Neah kahnie last week 27-0. SUPPORT HELPS LOGGERS WIN Appreciation has been ex pressed for the good rooting section that went to Hood River last Friday evening io support the Loggers in their football encounter t h e r e . Hood River was quite sur prised at the turn-out which included better than half oi the Vernonia high school stu dent body and many towns people. Such support of the team is a big morale booster for them. Frosh Reduce Margin of Loss The Frosh football team at Ver nonia high school deserves a great big E for effort even if they have not been able to tally a win as yet. They are working hard and certainly trying, but are feeling the effect of encountering more experienced teams. Last Thursday, Rainier came here and defeated the Frosh 47-0. Monday afternoon, the Vernonia Frosh went to Banks and lost again, 26-0. But, as their coach, John Jensen stated, they are gain ing. They didn’t lose the second game by quite so wide a margin. There was a good turn-out of spectators here Thursday even ing and several carloads went to Banks Monday, a fact which both team and coach appreciate. Next Monday, the Frosh team will meet Clatskanie on the local field at 7:00 p.m. and spectators are invited. CD Schedules Reorganization Bill J. Horn was in Salem Tues day to attend a Civil Defense conference and stated that in the near future, a reorganization of the local civil defense set-up would take place to bring it into line with state plans. Only minor changes will be required here, however. • Horn stated that Governor Mark Hatfield, in an addiress to the group, stated that it is the respon sibility of the individual family to provide its air raid shelter and the necessary supply of food in case of nuclear attack. He also stated that the Unit«>d State» Engineers corps has al ready started a survey of build ings throughout the nation that would be deemed suitable as shel ters in case of attack. 'Apple for Teacher Theme of Reception Monday Night "An Apple for The Teacher” theme was cleverly carried out Monday by the Vernonia PTA in the use of shiny red apple name- tags which were pimed on the teachers as they arrived at the reception given in the high school auditorium. There was a very good attendance of parents and friends, also. Mary Ann Devine, Mist, vice- president of the PTA, opened the meeting with the flag preseWa- tion by the Boy Scouts »id the PTA prayer by Mrs. Charles Minger. After a brief business meeting, Mrs. Devine turned the meeting over to Robert Lindsay who acted as master of cere monies for the program and the introduction of the teachers. A very excellent program, re vealing much in the way of com munity talent, included organ music by Keith Harding, marimba numbers by Mrs. Shalmon Libel of Mist, a reading by Mrs. Sally San Angelo and a monologue by Mist’s own Aunt Freda, who, in a telephone conversation analyzed the school» with cryptic remarks about members of the staff which were good chuckles. lor some hearty Mr. Lirdaay, in introducing the teachers, also added interesting comments concerning them. Following the program, refresh ments were served from a table arranged wi'h a Little Red School- house centerpiece with the pen cil», ink, rulers, etc. spilling out the door. A candle arrangement with red and white pon-pon dah lias on each end of the table completed the decor. During the refreshment hour, background music was provided by Mrs. L. H. Thomas at the piano and Keith Harding at the organ.
