It tends to bring the work of the pupil directly be- fore the eye of the parent.

They took home more material to be made up, A part of the Christ- mas bags have been turned in from Wallowa and Enterprise. 50 YEARS AGO Dec. 2, 1965 • Three Enterprise young- sters became lost Sunday after- noon while hunting rabbits in the Mud Springs area north of En- terprise and were the object of a search which lasted into the wee hours of Monday morning. Dan Courtney, Dave Courtney and Shane Homan left home about 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon to go rabbit hunting. At 7:30 a search party consisting of Stan Farris, Bill Dunn, Jerry Homan, Mark Marks, Leroy and Marge McGraw and Jim Courtney set out to make a systematic search of the area where it was thought the boys might have gone.

The Wallowa Lions Club is under- taking to rebuild the luminous star with a fully encased steel version, but the job is a big one and it appears it will not be done in time for this Christmas sea- son. • Operation Desert Shield personnel from Joseph should get a big morale boost in Saudi Arabia in the near future when they receive the special “Christ- mas care packages” sent to them this week by the students of Joseph Elementary School.
