: THE ARMISTICE DAY GAME
La Grande High school's football team, unbeaten in its
own district although loser twice in interdistrict and inter
state games this fall, will take on its traditional rival Baiter
High here Saturday afternoon in the feature event of an
Armistice day celebration, ' " 1
" Despite the two above mentioned losses the Tiger' team
this year, has been a colorful one, flashing forth, at times
with teal championship play, and all indications are that the
Saturday game will be one of the best of the season. ' Baker
has been improving slowly, and like La Grande, remains un
beaten in its district,, although loser to two out-of:district
teams. :
. It also will be the last local; appearance of the Tigers this
fall, and with an exceptionally good' game indicated; a record-breaking
crowd for a high school football, contest should
be present to give the local boys the cheer and sideline sup
port to which tliey are justly entitled.' '
ANSWER TO ROLL. CALL
P , During' the last year the Red Cross has distributed flour
and clothing valued at $12,000in Union county.: Much of; the
cooda was furnished bv the Government, but the distribution
cost the Red. Cross 'a large sum of nioney. : fh rdturn; last
fall, only a small number of local people answered to the
annual; roll call, with a dollar membership.
The 1933 campaign will begin Armistice day to continue
until; Thanksgiving, and hopes are high that La Grande will
give, more support to this friend who was unquestionably a
friend indeed. '"'Without the Red Cross, last winter would
have been much-more difficult for all of us, and there is
more work ahead this year.
It takes only-a-dollar to show real support to. the Red
Cross,, and' if; seems that every citizen of La Grande who
has' gainful employment should feel it his or her absolute
duty to contribute to this worthy cause.
Yes, you can-probably have brandy in your mincemeat
this Winter. But pity the poor fellow, who has no mincemeat
he'll have to drink his Christmas pie.

Ily llrtMiko lvtcrs Cliureh
Teaching writing is one or the most
difficult problems of education.
It generally Is taught ln school
with doubtful results, and yet to
teach It ot homo' Is scarcely foasible,
partly because, unlike reading, It re
quires certain Ideal conditions of po
sition and Implements, and partly
becauso, regrettably, thcro nro too
few adults wlio can wVlto either
loglbly or with any style.
Furthermore, writing requires a
musculnr control of tho hand which
few llttlo children can bo expected
to have.' Thero Is much of the beau
ty of handicraft about writing which
the typewriter Is fast blotting out of
tlie world.
Llttlo children or pro-school ago
arc being taught to uso the type
writer, and it Is not to bo wondered
at that when they rench school they
sco no need to lenrn moro thon tho
motions of ; handwriting.' Anything
moro seems to them superfluous nnd
absurd, nnd thoy go through llfo
with signatures worthy of the feeble
minded. Few mothers allow their children
to Uso a sewing machine before they
have learned a little about hand sew
ing. IT the tyiiewTltcr offered any
perils of pcvsonnl Injury to the child,
no doubt there would be restrictions
on Its use.
Tho school can only teach nnd
give practice, but it Is for the parents
to set up and demand a standard of
excellence. Certainly the quality of
handwriting has a very marked effect
on the temper of the reader, and
many an examination has' been
flunked or Job lost becauso tho w-rlt-Ing
was poor.
Unless handwriting Is to go out of
uso entirely and typing to tnko Its
plnoc. It 'might be well If we empha
sized Its value os an art as well as n
practical accomplishment.

In a sweeping decision which seta a
precedent for U. 8. Jurists, today up
held the NRA wago scale In Multno
mah district court In the suit of
Besslo N. Walker against Noble 6s
Sons, confectioners, for $H.S0, tho
difference between the wages paid
her and the minimum wage allowable
under the Bluo Eagle.
- Judge Mears, presiding In small
claims court, based his momentous
decision on the Investigation of of
ficials working under the direction of
the Multnomah county NRA compli
ance board, who reported to the
court that the wages paid by Noble &
Sons weie below the minimum pre
scribed ln the NRA agreement. :'
Mies Walker, a waitress, began work
in tho confectionery as a substitute
for another girl who was 111. She re
mained when the other girl failed to
return to work. When Noble & Sons
refused to pay her the minimum NRA
wage, she- brought suit.
In all disputes of this sort, the
reasonable value of the services ren
dered aro a recognized principle of
law,' declared Judge Mears In com
menting on his decision, "It is usual
to call ln expert testimony to fix
the reasonable value of services ren
