4-Heis to Try
Horsemanship
O em onia E agle
THURSDAY, SEPT 3, 1964_______3
About 200 young 4-H horsemen and
women will take the spotlight during
the first days of the 1964 Oregon
state fair as they put their mounts
through their paces in 4-H horseman
ship and showmanship events.
The 4-H horsemanship competition
starts before the rest of the fair
opens, notes Glenn Klein, Oregon
State University state 4-H extension
agent.
The first events are scheduled for
Thursday, September 3. The 4-H
horse show will continue September
4 and end the morning of Setpembei
5, the second day of the fair itself.
Size of the 4-H horse show has
steadily increased, Klein points out,
in keeping with the growth of the
popular project. This year, nearly
4,500 young people are enrolled in
the program, one of the fastest grow
ing phases of the OSU 4-H education
program.
Judges for this year’s 4-H horse
classes will be Dr. Stanley McGough
and Lou Levy, both of Pendleton,
and Mrs. Richard Wagner, Oregon
City.
For the first time this year, cham
pion 4-H horsemen have been invit
ed to present special demonstrations
of their skills during the first three
performances of the state fair rodeo
and horse show on September 4 and
5.
A special feature of the 4-H state
fair horse show are try-outs for the
“Dad” Potter award, the top honor
gram. Only a few 4-Hers have quali
fied in the past, Klein points out.
The senior horsemanship award is
named for E. L. Potter, OSU profes
sor emeritus of agricultural econom
ics, who has long been interested in
horses and the 4-H horse program.

Attends Potluck
By Gordon Reed
Well, that was short — Oh! i
mean our summer. We have been
waiting for it for almost a year
now and I guess we must have miss
ed it somewhere along the line. Oh!
well, we sure will have a nice fall
I am sure. Speaking of fall, the
Fall Handicap golf matches are now
on at the Vernonia Golf Club. This
will determine our club champion
golfer for another year.
The first round matches have been
played in the championship flight
and the following won their first
match: Wayne Thomas (present club
champion' defeated Dick Fletcher,
Tom Bateman won his match over
Elmer Pumla and yours truly was
very lucky and won over long hit
ting Dan Fletcher. The second round
of matches in the championship flight
will pair Tom Bateman With Wayne
Thomas and Kenny Bateman with
Gordon Reed. The winners of these
two matches will play 18 holes of
match play golf for the club cham
pionship.
In the second flight of matches
there are more players, thus more
matches have to be played. In the
first matches Harvey Redmond won
over Bill Hom, Tom Breazile got a
bye, Horace Hertel won his match
over Tracy Hanson, Dr. T. M. Ho
bart got a bye, Harold Harwood got
a bye and Otis Maddox won his
match with Arnold Johnson. Two
other matches in the second flight
have yet to be played.
All players losing their first match
drop down to the third flight and
have one more chance to win a tro
phy and wind up as third flight
champion.
The Ladder Tournament has slow
ed up some due to the activity in the
club championship matches. More
activity will be had in this branch
of the Men’s Golf Association as soon
as some of the players finish with
other matches. The trophies for all
of these matches are now on display
at the club.
Tuesday night was the regular
men’s meeting night with a busi
ness meeting being held after the
usual hine-hole round of golf. Ralph
Bergerson, who is club secretary,
is putting together a real golf game
each Tuesday. He has been a very
consistent winner each Tuesday
night, taking first prize money for
the past three weeks.
The club house remodeling is still
going on with most of the outside
building work completed. We are
now finishing up the interior of the
club Pro Shop and expect to have
that finished next week.
Coming back to the golf club the
other night after a short ride, Kay
and I saw a very comical sight.
When we drove in the yard we saw
two pairs of eyes in the headlights
on the bank by the river. We drove
down closer when all of a sudden
there were five pairs of eyes. As
we got closer with the car three
pairs left, then we saw what it was:
two large raccoons with three small
ones, the smalls ones bobbing their
heads up over the edge of the bank
to see what was going, on. A flash
camera at this point would have net
ted a very interesting picture I am
Speaking about the river brings up
another water scene.
Last week we found two local boys
who had swimming trunks on and
were in the pond at the golf course
hunting for golf balls. They were
within 20 feet of a sign which says
“no trespassing”, but this did not
seem to mean much to them. They
were asked to leave and they went
back across the river and retrieved
their bicycles and took off.
The point I would like to make is
that the pond has been poisoned to
kill the weeds and junk in it. Also
the ...weeds and thistles have been
sprayed with a very toxic spray to
kill them. So, this is no place for
bare skinned people to be swim
ming. Boys, please stop art the club
house and ask, if you want to go on
the golf course.
