What was that statement I made last week about spring really be ing here? It has snowed twice since then and rained most of the time in between snows. Have heard a few rumors about some of the local fishermen doing OK on the Columbia. It sounds like at least half of the popula tion of Vernonia will take advan tage of the great clam tides some time during the weekend. —- O- Last week on the front page in the proceedings of the city coun cil a short mention was made of the complaint signed against the school district for the removal of the ramp at the office. This paper had the complaint signed by "Mrs. Melvin Peddicord ” The family- objected to that title and wanted it corrected to read Lillian Ped dicord. So here is that correction and apology from the editor. -— O -- There are so many- events com ing up with in the next month to five weeks that it will take some kind of magician to keep up with all of them. There could not possibly be a complaint lodged that there is not enough to do. Just go look, some one will find a job for you. The Chamber is going to need all of the help that they can get in the tremendous clean-up pro ject that they have planned for the last of this month. The Cancsr Society is still in need of som e help for the melo drama and related activities. The Jaycees boat race promises to be the biggest ever this year. The committee has expressed some apprehension about being able to handle the record crowd That is this Saturday. The Little League benefit that takes place tonight deserves your support. Those are just a few of the com munity wide activities without even mentioning the various clubs activities and the church and the school events. It’s a go-go world and it seem s like I somehow get myself invol- JMd in just about every activity • a t comes along. Boy am I going to enjoy those few hours on the beach this weekend chasing clams — O— Speaking of chasing I think that our city council made a wise move in requesting that half of the dog license fees be returned to the city and they will hire a man to chase the dogs here in Vernonia. That was a good piece of work by the council to search out this little known state ordinance and take advantage of the fact that we could get half of the fees re turned to the city. The chamber directors wish to express their pleasure to the Green Thumb crew for their hard and diligent work m cleaning up along our main street. Highway 47. It is a good forerunner for the Chamber-sponsored Clean-up days of April 28-29 Let us keep our streets and highways clean after so much hard work in getting them cleaned up. Evelyn Heath, -Chamber sec. Rodeo Animals Pampered Group A cowboy’s dependency on a bronc or bull's bucking ability to win him money explodes the myth of “ conquered” animals, ac cording to Cotton Rosser, Manag ing Director of the Portland Pro Rodeo, which will provide livestock for the April 14. 15, 16 Coliseum event. In reality bucking stock is the most pampered group of hair-cov ered bandits. aruatfl today, Rosser says, becdbf? fWey are true ani mal outlaws—and as such a val uable commodity-—they are given the finest care all year round. In tne winter they bask in the warm, sunny Imperial Valley, just north of the California-Mexico bor der. They age brought to rodeo condition » —fbedlot pens with a scientific feet^jnix. and during the rodeo seasbn are transported in equipment especially designed for the PortlintP Fro Rodeo. The anim ai»-Auek simply be cause Otojr want to. As som e hu mans rejegt S ociety's laws and guidlints. some -animals just will not tolerate a man on their backs. It is these who find their way into professional rodeo arenas where they might work all of five minutes per year—bucking no more than 40 times a season, eight seconds per appearance: Broncs and bulls plus America's top cowboys, and _eowgiris will ap pear in th p p<f|nd Pro Rodeo Friday an»» Saturday at 8 p.m. and SuntbPEuF? frm Ticket prices are $5, 34.30. and $4 and general admission 33.5O_ Children under 12 are admMMPMfckalf price.
