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.

BILL L HORN VERNONIA INSURANCE EXCHANGE Phone HA 9-6203 905 Bridge Street Representing Hartford Accident and Indemnity. Company Member Hartford - Insurance Group Hartford 15, Qonn Church Team 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.
