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!

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!

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.

Congratulations to all of the

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

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

1972 cam e to $2.142 billion - 17 per

PSU Student Wins
Rainier Study Grant
A 27-yearold graduate student
and teaching assistant in biology
at Portland State University has
l>eeii awarded a S5C0 Rainier ecolo
gy study grant to survey the nest
ing bird and mammal populations
on the site of a prooosed state
park on Sauvies island.
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.
