State Officer
At PEO Meeting
A special PEO meeting was held
at the home of Mrs. T. M. Hobart
November 6 for the official visit
of the state organizer, Mrs. E. R.
Quinn of LaGrande. Exemplifica
tion of the ritual was given with
Mrs. Owen East acting as candi
date.
Mrs. Quinn spoke of the foreign
exchange student system and the
international peace scholarship
fund which this year will bring
over 100 young women from for
eign countries to the colleges and
universities in the United States
and Canada.
She also mentioned the PEO
educational fund which loans
money to young women who need
assistance to continue their higher
educations. The fund was started
in 1909 with $658.88. This fund
has multiplied 10,000 times in
loans granted and today stands at
$6,619,000 for the benefit of over
14,000 students. It is the largest
educational loan fund in the
world.
Due to many conflicting inter
ests, the BIL party was postponed
until after the first of the year.
The next meeting will be No
vember 27 at the home of Mrs.
Sam Hearing Jr., who will also
give the program, “A Long Day’s
Journey into Night,” a play by
Eugene O’Neil.
Drain Clears
Water Tanks
During the power outage fol
lowing the Columbus Day storm,
many persons who attempted to
get hot water from the drain at
the bottom of the water tanks,
were unsuccessful due to the large
amount of sediment that had ac
cumulated in the bottom of the
tanks.
Householders are reminded that
a hot water tank can be a most
convenient source of water in an
emergency, and it would be most
wise to flush and drain the tank
through the bottom drain period
ically, so it will be clean and free
running should an emergency
arise. Don’t delay! Do it today!

Lost Billfold
Holds Mystery
Incidents can often be puzzling
and Jim Fletcher was involved in
one such in recent weeks.
In August, Jim attended the
fair in Seattle and while on the
grounuds discovered that his bill
fold was missing, apparently lift
ed from his hip pocket. It con
tained only six or seven dollars,
but that was money he’d counted
on for doing all the interesting
things at the fair. Also, the usual
cards and such in his billfold were
needed and caused him a degree
of frustration when they were
missing.
Just recently, about two months
after the visit to the fair, the bill
fold came to Jim intact, money,
cards and all, and had been mailed
from the Ben Paris Sporting
Goods store in downtown Seattle
where they said it had been found
in a restroom.
How the billfold got there is
a mystery. Jim did not go down
town. so someone else had to take
it there. Whether someone did
pick his pocket, then get cons
cience stricken can only be spec
ulated on. Anyway, he was glad
for its return, even if mystified
by it.

Camp-Out Climaxes
Goodwill Bag Pickup
A group of Boy Scouts, accom
panied by Scoutmaster Don Cam
eron and R. C. Lindsay, collected
Goodwill bags Saturday, then
headed for Camp Wilkerson for
an overnight camp-out. The boys
who enjoyed the outing were Ken
ny and Jim Lindsay, Eddie Bur
ton, Douglass Steele, Keith and
Wayne Cameron, Myron Dennis,
Gary Davis, Albert Brunsman and
Stanley Meyer.

for the boys Saturday due to the
stormy weather, so some may have
been missed. Those who still have
filled bags should call the scout
master or one of the boys.

Meat Cutting
Bulletin Out
Farmers and jig game hunters
can make good wages cutting their
own meat this fall and winter—
and can obtain a handy step by
step guide from Oregon State Uni
versity.
“Let’s Cut Meat,” a 32-page il
lustrated bulletin just published
by OSU Extension Service, spells
out in careful detail the accepta
ble methods for cutting beef, veal,
lamb and mutton, and pork.
John H. Landers, OSU animal
husbandry specialist, says general
instructions for cutting beef also
apply to elk. Oregon residents may
obtain free copies of the bulletin
from local county agents or the
OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corvallis.
Nearly 100 easy-to-follow illus
trations show how to cut up a
carcass; how to bone, roll, and tie
a cut of meat; and how to cut
roasts, steaks, and special meat
cuts.
The bulletin discusses chilling,
aging, and care of meat. Necessary
tools and equipment and their pro
per care are also illustrated.
Landers says there is increased
interest among farmers in doing
their own meat cutting that pro
vides meat for home use at actual
cost of production. He noted that
the bulletin should be of interest
not only to farmers, hunters, and
homemakers but to others con
cerned with production, proces
sing, and consumption of meat.
The trouble with the man who
thinks he knows it all, is that us
ually he knows it all wrong.

After a very bountiful pot luck
dinner November 9 at the Legion
hall, J. W. Nichols gave the first
part of the American Legion his
tory which he is compiling.
Then very interesting pictures
were shown of the cable cars in
San Francisco. Once each year
they hold a celebration honoring
the cable car.
The first cars were drawn by
mules and were established in
1873. Electric cars came in 1905.
At one time, they were drawn by
eight horses. Horses wore bells
to warn pedestrians. There are
1700 miles of cable. The longest
single cable is three and a half
miles The cables are in the street
groove with the car attached to
it by huge jaws. At intersections
where cables cross, cars coast
across, attaching to cables again.
It takes first class know-how to
run these cars.
Some are 30 feet long and carry
35 people, others more. Riders
need a good toe hold and a prayer.
Some turn on turn-tables at the
end of the line. Passengers help
push it around, so they really
never reach the end of the line.
The steepest hill has a 22 per cent
grade.
There will be no pot luck No
vember 23 as that is the day after
Thanksgiving. The regular meet
ing will be held at 8 p.m.

a gift from Peterson Bakery to
the couple.
Seventy-five friends and rela
tives helped celebrate the day.
Many beautiful gifts were received
as well as the lovely cards and $50
on the money tree.
The out-of-town guests present
were: Mr. and Mrs. Brayme and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ike Bag-
nall of Kelso, Washington; Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Wyman, Burling
ton, Washington; Mr. and Mrs.
Chris Vike, Emma Fox, Mr. and
Mrs. John Johnson, Mt. Vernon,
Washington; Elaine Baggaley,
Bothell, Washington; Bertha Da
vis. Vancouver, Washington; Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Clayton and son,
Astoria; Tom Flattley, San Diego,
California.
Mr. and Mrs Bagnall were
neighbors of the Vikes at Nagrom,
Washington 44 years ago and Tom
Flattly, who came from San Diego,
was their neighbor 39 years ago
at North River in South Bend.
If the Lord is willing and all’s
well,” say Ma and Oscar, friends
are all invited to help celebrate
their 75th anniversary, too.
