Miss Nola Radliff, who has been vis-
itIng the last week at Clifton with her
chum Emma Noble, returned to her
home in The Dalles Tuesday.
Miss Grace Stewart, one of the
Frankton teachers. and a friend were
sight seeing down the Columbia high
way Sunday. Their trip took them
down below Mitchell's Point. This was
miss Stewards first trip along the
highway. "Tige," the faithful dog,
went along as a guard.
The Coate sisters, Mr.. and Mrs. d.
C. Garrabrant and Miss Pearl Scobee
enjoyed an Easter dinner at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Calkins at River
side farm, that but few cooks, If any,
know better how to prepare than Edna.
The annual meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association will be held to-
morrow, Friday evening. All members

ing year, and other business pertaining

Miss Pearl Scobee, our primary
teachers only brother, newspaper
correspondent by profession, has been
sent by his paper to the war zone. He
is now at Brownsville, Tex, watching
to make scoop" over the border at
Matsmoros, Mexico.
The road boss, or the county court,
or both, are showing partiaity we
think in the distribution of the work
| being done on the roads so far this
spring. The road between the two
planers gets more promises and less
work than any piece of road in the dis
trict. The people who live along it
have to travel it and pay their share of
the road tax and are entitled to some
consideration.
Donald Nickelsen is home from Eu-
gene on his Easter vacation and to see
his two brothers.
The Four Leaf Glover club will meet
today at the home of the Misses Coate.
Miss Johnston. assistant principal in
the Frankton school. whose home is in
Pennsylvania, says that the grand hills
and flowers everywhere here in Oregon
on Easter Sunday certainly looked bet
ter to her than 20 inches of snow would
have looked in her home state on that
date.
1t will be good news to the people of
the Frankton district who want to have
the high school maintained, to know
that the election last week had nothing
to do with discontinung it. The high
school was voted on several years ago,
and it will take majority of the voters
at an election called for that purpose to
discontinue it. That proposition was
not voted on last week and the question
of sending the high school students to
Hood River for one year was illegal, as
it only had Is Of majority, and there
were more than 20 votes cast that were
not legal. This, of course, is a matter
of record and easily determined, and
will invalidate the election.
The Benson memorial arch promoters
are making arrangements to secure an
other location other than the top of the
Ruthton hill for its location. The
highest point on the west end of Cas-
cade avenue in the town of Hood River
has been suggested. If the city council
would grant the right to erect it there
and perhaps change the name of the
street to Benson avenue, a fine concrete
arch would be erected over it that
would be credit to the town and
county. If not, then Mitchell's Point
or some other suitable location will be
decided on in the near future and ar
rangements made to push it to compile
tion by the time the highway is finished
this fall.
