Big Crowd Attends Club's Turkey Shoot
Approximately 1000 people attended the turkey shoot held Sunday by the Sportsman's Club at their new clubhouse east of town.
Sportsmen from all over this area, including Waterville, Tonasket, Ellensburg, Moses Lake, Marlin, Wilson Creek, Almira, Hartline, Wilbur, Grand Coulee, Mansfield, Ephrata and Soap Lake, attended the event.
"We ran out of turkeys after 75 had been won, and gave $8 prize money to 12 other turkey winners," J. L. Tucker, who was in charge of the shoot, said.
Sixty-five hams, 20 sides of bacon, 6 dozen pair of nylons and 13 geese were also won during the day.
Proceeds from the event were about $1100 and will be used in paying for the new clubhouse and for new traps.
If shells are available, the club will hold a two-day shoot late in March for the sole benefit of the VFW Joplin-Gilden memorial hall fund, Mr. Tucker said.
The club's shooting layout won favorable comment from outside shooters.
Lunch at the shoot was served by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Sportsman's Club which announces a profit of $100 to be used to buy cups, silver and other furnishings for the club house.

HOUSING PROJECT WORK IS HALTED; NO REASON GIVEN FOR STOPPAGE
Housing which needs another month's work to complete, carpenters leaving town every day, dozens of people anxiously looking for a place to live--that's the local housing situation.
Work on the FPHA project was abruptly stopped last week by the contractor, Brady construction company of Seattle. No public explanation has been made for the stoppage.
Mayor George C. W. Hartman reports he has had "not a line" from the FPHA to explain the stoppage. An FPHA official was in Coulee City the day after work was halted, but he had no idea why the work was stopped or when it would be resumed.
Work on the project was begun in October. The contract between the FPHA and the city called for the city to furnish the site, sewage and water connections and the FPHA to erect the buildings. The city was to operate the project, and the units were to be torn down at the end of five years. Originally, 42 units were to be built, but that was later cut back to 30 by the Seattle office of the FPHA.
Brady construction was building the project on a cost-plus basis. Other Brady projects in Central Washington were halted at the same time.

REV. COURSE REPORTS ON NATIONAL MEETING OF CHURCHES AT SEATTLE
The unity and power of the 25 major Protestant denominational churches working together through the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America was the greatest inspiration received from the recent gathering in Seattle, the rev. H. M. Course said upon returning.
Rev. and Mrs. Course returned last Saturday from Seattle where the council convened from Tuesday through Friday.
Among the most interesting speakers was Pastor Martin Niemoller, Rev. Course said. Although they were unable to sit in the main auditorium where all 3000 seats were filled for the Niemoller address, the Courses did find seats with 800 others in the basement where the speech was broadcast by loudspeaker.
Pastor Niemoller and another noted speaker, Miss Hanna Schokking of the Netherlands, came to the basement following their addresses, Rev. Course said.
Several hundred people were turned away from the crowded building at the Niemoller address.
Having attend 41 synod meetings, which is the annual state meeting of Presbyterian churches, and holding office a large part of the time, Rev. Course found this convention, with no responsibilities, no need to watch and take notes, a unique experience.
