part of history.
Looking back through the

instance, the birthday of Betsy
Ross (1752), Paul Revere (1753),
and Phillip Freneau (1752).
The first practical fire engine
was tested Jan. 1, 1852. President
Abraham Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation on
the first day of the year 1863. The
famous Tournament of Roses be
gan Jan. 1, 1889.
The USSR was formed Jan. 1,
1923; U.S. parcel post service was
inagurated Jan. 1, 1913. On the
first day -of the year 1934, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo
ration was inagurated and the
Bank Guaranty Act became ef
fective.
The United Nations Declaration
was signed Jan. 1, 1942; the U.S.
Strategic Air Forces in Europe
was formed Jan. 1, 1944 and

OSU Publishes
Third Edition
Series of Victories Maintained by
Loggers with Win Over Hood River
The Hood River Dragons, look
ing for revenge, were unable to
find it here last Friday night as
they were defeated again by the
Vernonia high Loggers with the
score at 43-32. The game was a
close one throughout the first
half with no one scoring during
the first five minutes of action.
Then the score was tied 2 for 2.
The quarter continued as a run
ning battle with neither side mak
ing any substantial progress in
the scoring department. End of
the first quarter saw the Dragons
leading by a slim 6-5 margin.
The second quarter opened up
much the same as the first, with
both teams scoring little, but run
ning much. Finally, with about
three minutes left in the half, the
home team opened up and really
started hitting. Marv Crowston
made 8 points during the quarter,
giving the Vernonia team a lead
that was never again seriously
threatened. Intermission time
found the Loggers ahead by an
impressive 21 to 9.
Second half action opened up
with the Hood River boys putting
on more steam but still unable
to close the gap between the
two teams. The Loggers scored
16 points to the Dragons’ 15. The
half continued with the Dragons
gaining slightly on the Vernonia
boys but they were still unable
to come close to the substantial
margin set by the Loggers during
the first half. Final score of the
tilt was 43 to 32 to give the Log
gers their fourth straight win.
The Vernonia Loggers are do
ing very well according to the
state A-2 ratings in the news
papers. In the Journal, the local
boys are rated second and in the
Oregonian, they are tied for
fourth with Eagle Point.
High scorer for the Loggers in
the Hood River game was Marv
Crowston with 13 points. High
scorer for the Dragons was Ed
Wells with 12. Others scoring
was as follows: Cavanaugh, 6;
Cox, 2; Aultman, 2; Mullins, 10;
Holsey, 8; and Hobart, 2.
The preliminary JV tilt Friday
was a real thriller with the Ver
nonia JVs edging out the Hoed
River JVs 53 to 52. The Loggers
were ahead throughout the game,
but the Hood River boys made a
good showing during the last
quarter to close the margin to one
point. High point man for the
Vernonia team was Larry Wright
with 19 points. Others scoring
was as follows: Hearing, 2; Hilde
brand, 5; Grimsbo, 13; Redmond,
2 and Bowerman, 13.
This Friday, the Loggers travel
over the mountain to Rainier
where they hope to stretch their
winning streak to five. A good
game is promised to all those who
take the trip to cheer on the Log
gers. Game time is 8 p.m.

Win, Loss for
Toppers Posted
The Vernonia Toppers, grade
school basketball team, favored
their visitors with a win last
Friday and let the Scappoose
team go home with a 40 to 22
victory. The Baby Toppers also
lost by a 22 to 12 9core.
Monday afternoon, the Toppers
weren’t quite so kind and sent
both Clatskanie teams home de
feated. Score for the first string
game was Toppers 39, Clatskanie
34.
The half time found the Top
pers trailing by 11 points, 23 to
12. The Toppers surged forward
to win, making 12 points in the
third quarter and 15 points in the
fourth Quarter.
The “B” squad squeezed out
their Clatskanie opponents by the
narrow margin of 14 to 13.

were served to all players by the
Topper Pep club. The Pep club
adviser is Mrs. Virginia Johns
