Tuesday night I had a chance to slip aw ay from work for a few minutes and watch just a couple of innings of the Babe Ruth game It was really an interesting gam e from several aspects. Our kids fell behind and then on som e real good hitting, w ere able to go ahead and win the gam e But one of the not -so-good things was that they made some mistakes in som e of the fundamentals of baseball. Why? One very good rea son was that the coach was so busy serving as um pire that he could not properly coach his team. This is a real injustice to the boys Gordon Crowston is spending hours doing the job of two men and he needs help. There must be some people available to umpire these gam es. It doesn’t take much time and in this type of ball there are not too m any close calls or big arguments to put up with. Both for the sake of Gordon and the ball players lets have some volunteers! —- O - - The Jaycees cam e to the res cue of the Pioneer Cemetery’ A s sociation again this year with a last minute mowing project. They really hustled around at the last minute and then spent a lot of tim e mowing the grass. Special thanks should go to Dick Beers and Curt Poetter who spent more time than anyone else up there to m ake the place present- abl for Memorial Day. Good Work F ellow s! — O—- Speaking of Jaycees it looks like we are to get our long awaited meeting place thanks to the gen erosity of Cliff and Jim Norwood. They have offered the use of the form er Mill Market building to the Jaycee for two years free of ch ar ge. The complete details of the entire deal have not been finaliz ed yet but we do have, for sure, a meeting place of our own for at least two years. The Jaycees have been saying for some tim e now' that they could be a more effective group if only we had our own meeting hall where records and m aterials could be stored. It is now up to the group to prove their statements. My personal thanks to Jim and Cliff for their concern about our group and the work that they ac complish in the community. -—O-- Congratulations to all of the grads from VHS and the best of luck in the future. You grads, take notice of all the local business JO Y Fri.. Sai. THEATER June 2-3 WALT DISNEY"S LADY AND THE TRAMP The Editor. . . A am writing because 1 am thoroughly j s l i a m d and disgust ed as are the Mothers, sweethearts and fam ilies of our wat dead for the lack of respect and remem brance. Veterans Day. of alt days, should be recognized as a N a tional Holiday Each y ear it is getting to be more like just an other day, less and less people give that day a thought as to w h a f it was set aside for. It is a very sad thing on vet day when the parents, fam ilies, and loved ones watch as people go about their dally business without showing re spect w hatsoever fo r the men who have fought and died end still are fighting and dying so these sam e people can live in a free nation Many of these pennle complain about paying school taxes when they have no children of their own without stopping to realize that these children being educated will grow up and, in all probability, serve in our armed forces as others have in the past to help keep this country and others free. Veterans D ay was set aside for all to show respect for those who have in the past j and are now- serving our country . You can hard ly blam e our young people of to day for not wanting to give their life or risk it in the armed forces, when seeing for them selves, the little respect given foi our service men and women mi Veterans Day. If we could get this d ay set aside for all industry and business to close wherevqr .possible and al low all of us to 'jo in together in honor and prayer for oil who have served in one w ay.o r other to pro tect our freedom , tit might be bet ter if M em orial and Veterans Day w ere combined. That would sim plify the honoring . of our Veter ans and our :dead for those who find it so diffioult .to take the time to show respect. In all probability those sam e peopk)"m ay have not lost any of their>,tonily, so they feel this day doea not have any- meaning for tharu. I^toppe this let ter will enlighten the. non-believers For the oneg who £ ave lost their loved ones, I great bur den they carry will be a little lighter Sincerely, H arry Wanicek Savings Bonds Sales Go Up Oregon sales of Series E and H United States S a v in s ponds in the month of April w e n i S4.924.596. an increase of $9 IS. 4 lft pver April of 1971. This is Ole fioarth consecu tive month that Oregon’s purchas es have exceeded the sales of the like month in the Award Winning Y e a r of 1971, stated Thomas S. Prideaux, S ta te ,• Savings Bonds Chairman. Prideahx feels the stim ulated interest A i Savings Bonds may be attributed to the public’s awareness of the 514 percent in terest rate plus the splendid co operation of Oregon industries in promoting Payroll Savings plans in their companies. The April sales of $4,924,596 boosted Oregon sales for the first four months to $17,166.405, repre senting 43 percent of the state’s annual goal. Columbia County chairm an R. A. Severson revealed that April sales in the county totaled $70,715 bringing the total for the year to $267.961 or 48,7 oercent of the goal for 1972. Nationally, the picture is equally as attractive. April bond sales ex ceeded one-half hfllion dollars for the fourth coq^fcutive month; sales for the first four months of 1972 cam e to $2.142 billion - 17 per cent above 1971. people that feel the sam e way.

One of the six applicants for the award presented by the Rainer Brewing Company of Seattle, Paul L. Zilka noted in his proposal that construction of a public-use state park on the island could have d ra s tic effects on nesting bird popula tions. Zilka said the heavily wooded 290-acre area known as Oak Is land is used as a nesting place for a large number of birds, in cluding at least six species of ducks, three species of owls, se veral species of woodpeckers and various songbirds. Zilka said the results of his stu dy will be made available for a follow-up study to measure the ef fect of the park construction and use upon these populations and their relationship with predators, or prey species, also inhabiting the refuge.
