I00DIANS SCALP TIGERS
hT PORTOLA GAME:
r00IEET QUINCY 00ATURDAY
Last Saturday afternoon the lo-
cal gridiron team resumed its in-
terurpted winning streak by de-
feating the Portola Tigers 18 to 7
in a hard-fought game on the
Portola field.
Greenville's eager linemen out-
charged their heavier opponents
and paved the way for the first
touchdown, scored by Ronnie Lo-
gan on an off-tackle slant good for
27 yards. Bert Holt's conversion
attempt was blocked, as were the
next two.
Following the kickoff, the In-
dians again took control of the
game and scored a line buck by
Don Comstock. Good defensive
play by Greenville prevented the
Tigers from scoring during the
first half of the game.
The Portola passing game paid
off in the third quarter with a T-D
and conversion or 7 points. Green-
ville came back in the last with a
T.D by Comstock following some
of the hardest charging seen in
the. league this season.
"I'm very proud of the way the
boys bounced back after losing
the Westwood game by a scant
one point," Coach Timone said
after the game. "Our lind was
sharp and our backfield ran hard,"
he declared.
Greenville meets Quincy this
,Saturday on the local grid, in what
promises to be the best game of
the year, as the two teams are
now tied for first place in the
league, with one loss apiece.

C00V]LIAN DEFENSE
COMMANDFR TELLS
OF POSS]BLE ATTACK
Commander M. H. Schooler was
the guest of the Greenville Rotary
Club yesterday noon and gave an
enlightening talk on the civilian
defense setup in Plumas county
and throughout the state, em-
phasizing the possibility that in
the event of an atomic attack,
numerous points along the coast
would probably be attacked sim-
ultaneously, possibly including the
strategic points in this area.
Public apathy in the civil de-
fense set-up is, he said, typical
of the American people, who have
in the past shown great disposition
to leap into the breach when
spurred by such an incident as
Pearl Harbor, but who are inclin-
ed to do little in the way of pre-
parat.;on. o'_ 709 Ldi,iduals, he
said, are listed in the Disaster
Ccunil'n files, to be called on in
the event an emergency should be
declared, and under such circum-
stances, the state will ,be geared
to an all-out defense effort.
George Burton was progr
chairman and provided elk steas
for the consumption of members
d visitors. One Rotarian was
present from the state of Missouri.
Others were Bill Peterson and Al-
ton Young of Quincy, and John
Bechen. superintendent of the Del-
leker mill at Portola.

Bowman Herring last Friday when
he oeumbed to a heart attack
while out hunting ducks with a
party on the Dolphin Ranch near

co Deputy Sheriff Ed Spellmeyer
.at Greenville.
The deceased was born at North
Arm on December 12, 1878, and
would have been 73 years of age

dian Valley all his life, having

Taylorsville postoffice, which posi-
tion he has filled since that time.
He was a member of the Indian
Valley Grange and formerly be-

CHILCOOT PASS IMPROVEMENT
The sum of $443,000 has been
budgeted for reconstruction of the
Chilcoot Pass grade next spring,
according to word released Mon-
day by M. F. (Pop) Small Sec-
retary to Coy. Earl Warren, to the
Plumas County Chamber of Com-
merce.
Members of the Chamber and
various interested businessmen
and citizens of the county, aided
by Assemblyman Lester Davis,
Senator Harold Powers and the
State Chamber of Commerce, have
been seeking action on this pro-
ject for the past three years
recognizing that the piece of high
way concerned has long been a
deterring factor in the use ot
Highway 24 connecting the valley
to eastern points. Plans call for
the resurfacing and realigning of
the existing grade, with suitable]
provision for crossing the spur]
'ailroad track which intersects I
the roadway. The distance involv-]
ed is 4.1 miles, it was stated by]
R. P. Zyskowski and H. O. Wil-]
liams of the county chamber.
Word from William Clayton,
secretary-manager of Sacramento
Valley district of the State Cham-
ber of Commerce, states that
members of the highway commis-
sion expect traffic to double on
this route upon the completion of
Chilcoot Pass. Cass Kennedy, sec-
retary of the California State
Chamber of Commerce, remarked
that the efforts of the Plumas
Co6nty Chamber of Commerce and
its representatives, in their pr e-
sentation of the need for complet-
ion of this grade, assisted mater-
ially in getting the budget ap-
proved.
Many who attended the highway
commission meeting held at Hotel
Quincy lest year will recall the
pessimistic remarks heard at that
time, but in spite of this dis-

county newepapers, regarding the
Chilcoot gra¢le, in the office of
Pop Small, and know these were
directed to the proper channels for

to Plumas county as the Chilcoot

the county as a whole; and sup-
