None of the top marks of the
meet was safe as the visitors MADE
determined attacks upon the tour
ney records, but only one of the
first place marks was tumbied,
though practically all were treated
to a genuine alarm as the high
scores came in from all alleys.
The lone change in first place
was in the Class B division, where
Central Alleys, of Portland, rolled
22s4 to GUST Lowell Auto company,
Astoria, which had held the top
place for almost a week.
Hotel Winthrop women were
jittery as their 1868 total In
the Class A team competition
barely survived a vicious at
tack by Spokane teams. Sar-
tori Jewellers, Spokane team,
came within three pins Of TAX
ing over the Class A top spot,
with a 1856 total, rolled on the
6 o'clock squad, Friday.
Another Spokane team, the
classy Rinehart Beverage ladies,
gave the top teams a scare when
they started strong with an S16
game. but the best they could wind
up with was 2285, good enough,
however. for fourth place among
the Northwest's strongest bowling
teams. Corner Drug gals, who
rolled 1926 Thursday night, held
third place at the close of last
nights play.
Grace La ROGUE. Seattle star,
who holds first place in the Class
A singles with 526, held the
coveted position by : one-pin mar
gin when Evelyn Huhnke, Everett,
rolled 525. Helen Blair, Tacoma,
and Hazel Terrier, Shelton. are
tied for third place with 524, and
DAM Radonich, Tacoma, rests in
fifth place with a 523 rolled on the
opening night of tournament play.

Betty Wakely, Everett, rolled
526 10 shove Georgia Weisen-
bach, HIllsbOro, into third
place with her $50. Voiloa
Marsden, MarshfieId, rolled
465, which placed her third In
Class & singles.
Only the high doubles scores
were free from assault in Friday
play. Fern Coles and Louise
Wahlers, Tacoma stars. were out

Band Boosters Club
Sponsors Picture

The Band Boosters club is Spon-
soring a picture, DR.. Kildare Goes
Home" at the Stevenson theatre
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Nov. 2, 3, 4, for the benefit Of the
Henderson high school band.
The picture, headed by Lionel Bar
rymore and Lew Ayres, is one Of
the outstanding ones in the Kildare
series. The band club feels justified
in the selection Of this picture to
come under its sponsorship, because
of its clean and entertaining qualities.
The money derived from the picture
is to be used by the club in paying
for some of the instruments which
have been added within the past year
under its direction. These inStru-
m"ntS are the oboe, the basSoon, the
bass clarinet and the set of tympani
or kettle drums. These instruments
have been quite an addition to the
band, which thoroughly justifies the
pride that the town and community
has for it.
The tickets may be secured from
any member Of the band or parents
of the members.

Retaliation
Might Be Up
Before Board

Discussion may be begun by the
Vance Board Of County Commits
siorers ut their regular monthly
meeting Monday of the new l94l
uuadrennial re-vaiuation of property
for the county, it was indicated to-
dav. Unolliclally and informally, it
was said in some quarters that a new
valuation may be decided upon, with
! committee named to function in
much the manner as in 1887, when
the last rcvaiualon Of property was
had.
# is possible, however, for the
commissioners arbitrarily to fix
valu esbv blanket increase or reduc-
ton or ordering the same figure a.
has been in effect the past four
years.
The fact that property is now list
ed in january as Of the first day Of
the wear, instead Of in April as Of
April |. makes it necessary that the
valuation task get under way imme-
diatclv. if it is to be done. 1t is
supposed to be completed before the
time for listing of property.
Other than this matter, business
in prospect for the commissioners at
their meeting Monday appeared in
advance to consist mostly of routine
matters.

Tobacco Sale
247,73O Lbs.

Sales amounted to 247730 pounds
on the Henderson tobacco market
Thursday, and brought S38,170.59 for
an average of S15.41 per hundred
pounds, announcement today by
Smith H. Young, sales supervisor,
revealed. This ran season sales to
around thirteen million pounds for
an average of approximately twenty
cents, with close to two and three
quarter million dollars paid by buy
erS.
Offerings today were in excess Of
those for Thursday, and it was
thought prices were stronger. Most
of the choicer grades appear to have
been sold, accounting for the weak

24-hour basis. Reports from the

Taking blood specimens at the rate
Of more than one minute through

Special glass tubes, each with its

early from the State health depart

large vein in the arm on the inner
side of the elbow, the hollow needle
being inserted into the vein and the
