Masons Here Have
Largest Picnic
In Many Years
The tenth annual Masonic pic
nic was held at Riverside park
Sunday afternoon, with one of
the largest gatherings ever to at
tend locally. Masons and mem
bers of the Eastern Star and
their, families were invited.
Family and group pot-luck
dinners occupied the time fol
lowing arrival, after which the
picnickers gathered around the
piano beneath the trees for the
program.
August Stange, deputy grand
master, made the preliminary
announcements and introduced
Dr. Roben J. Maaske as master
of ceremonies. Carrie Jackson,
Baker, past grand matron of the
Eastern Star, and Georg T.
Cochran, past grand patron 'of
the Eastern Star and past grand
master of Oregon Masons, were
introduced. Other responses were
made by Alex McKenzie of the
Elgin lodge and Mrs. Lowell
Stockman of Pendleton and
Washington, D. C, and Richard
Dixon of La Grande.
Guest speaker for the occasion
was Congressman Lowell Stock
man of Pendleton, who reviewed
his observations upon a recent
European trip in company with
a congressional delegation. Stock
man talked briefly on what he
termed the three sixty-four dol
lar questions of the moment,
namely: When will the war end?,
2 President Truman; . 3 The
OPA.
Stockman asserted that any
one's guess is as good as his own
on the first question and there
are circumstances justifying al
most any speculation. He spoke
highly of President Truman and
stated thut those close to nation
al affairs manifest increasing
confidence in the president as
they become better acquainted
with him. Of the OPA it was
stated that only praise could be
accorded the paid and volunteer
personnel on the home front in
their respective communities. He
reflected that it required genius
to emerge from the multiplicity
of directives and regulations
emerging from the Washington
offices of the OPA, and to inter
pret these orders in terms of
daily living in any community.
The annual picnic is regarded
as preliminary for the ensuing
year of activity and will be fol
lowed by announcement of a re
sumption of regular activity in
September. York rite Masons of
this locality and Scottish rite
Masons active at Baker, were
apprised of the plans now con
templated for both rites.

New Permanents
Need Time to Set
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
' Don't invite a frizzy headpiece
which can spoil your vacation
looks or your summer fun by
economizing on a permanent
wave. You can't reasonably ex
pect from a bargain the best ma
terials and the most expert skills.
Because of the rise in price for
both labor and supplies, perma
nents are upped in costs today.
What you once could get for $5
may now possibly cost you $10 or
more.
After you plunk down your
cash, guarantee yourself a good
wave by. gritting your teeth and
allowing your operator to whack
off all dead hair or wisps that
survive a previous permanent.
Best bet for a bouncing crop of
curls is a brand-new wave put
in virgin hair.
Don't fuss with your hair after
the new wave is in. Don't douse
it in hot water. Anoint it with oil
instead of water when you run
up pin-curls. A temperamental
fit of changing the style imme
diately after the permanent will
cut down the life-expectancy of
your wave.
EASILY FOOLED
