H. S. Echoes were hosta to a gathering of editors, business managers and Btaff members of the various bigb school and col lege papers of thlB district on Tues day afternoon and evening of this week. ThlB was probably the first district convention of this sort ever held and was attended by about thirty persona representing Forest Grove, Amity, McMinnville, Wood- burn, Sheridan, Willamina, Dayton and Newberg high schools and Pa. cific College and binfleld College. The meeting was called at 1 p. m. and was held at the local high school build ing. Supt. A. C. Stanbrough of the New berg schools acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced the various speakers. Dean Eric V. Allen of the department of Journalism of the U. of O. was the first speaker. Dean Allen is no theorist on the subject of Journalism in any of its branches aud the talk which' he gave to those in attendance was of the most practical type and dealt with many of the daily problems which they have to face. Dean Allen commended the Idea of having a district organise tion and spoke of the difficulty which school publications experience in constantly changing staff,—the old members going out just when they have attained a degree of efficiency He spoke of the state convention which is to be held at Eugene and urged many; to attend. Dean Allen emphasized the. fact that the school paper, as a newspa per. is a new thing. He picked up three different school papers and call ed attention to the fact that all three were headed volume 1. He .then took up the different methods of handling school news, such as the column in the local paper, the mimeograph $orm, the separate school paper, and the supplement to the local paper, as ip used at Baker. Oregon.. This last plan he especially recommended. Go ing into the makeup of the paper Dean Allen g av « many good suggestions as to headings, arrange ment of advertising, etc. At the close of his talk he also answered a number of questions for those pres ent. Robert C. Hall, manager of the University Press, was also present and made a short talk along similar lines as those followed by Dean Allen. Mr. Hall went still further Into the mechanical construction of the paper and added some points to Dean A l len's talk. W. H. Chatten of the Hlcks-Chat- ten company was the next speaker and told the students of the import ant part which engravings play in the successful production of. a good annual. He showed how they could get belter engravings by following some different methods in ordering cuts and in getting photographs. He urged the use of larger faces and less background as a big help in getting a better annual and urged students to always get in touch with their printer before taking any other steps. He suggested the importance of hav ing a dummy from which to work in building their annual. Following this -talk an adjournment was taken until 5:30, when a splendid dinner was served. Newberg was visited by house breakers last Saturday night and as a result at least thirteen places have reported being broken into that night. A ll together the robbers didn't get enough to pay for their trouble and it is probable they w ill give Newberg a black eye among the “ profession" and steer clear of hero in the future. It is highly probable that they were a bunch of amateurs for they left many valuables which might have been taken and aparent- ly picked out people living in two- story houses and confined their ef forts entirely to the lower floors. So far aa we can learn, no one heard them at any of the places vis ited and it was not until the next day that word began to come to the city marshal of what had happened. Prof. Kilham lost a typewriter of the portable variety in the raid and one lady lost a gold watch and another a gold-handled umbrella which she prized very highly. Otherwise a dollar here and two or three there, amounting in all to less than $10 is all that has been reported as taken. Some of the houses visited were: Lynn B. Ferguson. E. C. Baird, Clyde F. Stretch, Dr. J. S. Rankin. Mrs. Hodgin, Mr. Klrkley, Prof. O. F. Kilham, E. H. Woodward. L. F. Moore, L. T. Pennington, C. A. Hod- son, and the public library. That same evening Conner Bros, of St. Pan), had a 1921 Ford touring car stolen from College street near the Parker Hardware store and for a time it was thought that parties had come out from Portland stolen this car and used It to make their geta way after robbing the bouses arounn town. However, the car was loca ted « t the corner of Eighth and W il lamette streets on Monday evening and J. H. Brown, who lives near there, stated that the car bad been there since Sunday morning. A similar raid was made at Hills boro about a week ago and some time ago one was made at McMinnville. Taking all of the'circumstances to gether it looks as though there was a band of fellows operating out of Portland and visiting the smaller cities at intervals. They are evi dently amateurs’ as no very big hauls are reported at any of these places which.they have visited. ------- —o brough called upon those present to express themselves regarding a per manent organization, and as there was an apparent backwardness at first he asked Supt. F. E. Fagan of the Woodburn schools to give his opinion. Mr. Fagan said that he tfras certainly In favor of anything which brought together people interested in a common cause and that Wood burn would endorse the movement. A motion was then put that the schools of the district have an asso ciation and this motion carried. F o l lowing this it was decided to have each school paper's staff elect one person who would serve as a member of a council to have charge of all affairs o f the association. Officers were then elected as follows: Rob ert Brown of Newberg, president; Hugh Parker of McMinnville, vice- president;'-and Miss Ruth Sherwln of Willamina. secretary. It was de cided to have the next meeting of the organization at Newberg on the Tuesday of the fourth week of May. The secretary was also instructed to invite all schools in Yamhill, Wash ington and the northern part of Mar ion counties to participate in this meeting.^ It was voted that all schools which were represented at the first meeting should be consid ered members of the association and that no limits should be definitely established * at preeent. Robert Brown was also elected as a delegate to attend the state convention or meeting of high school editors at Eugene. The dinner, which was served in the domestic art room, was prepared and served by Mrs. Waterman and the domestic science girls, and it was a very great success in every way. Everything was delicious and tha dinner was an exceptionally well balanced one. Grouped around tables each of which accommodated about eight persons the dinner hour passed all too quickly with pleasant conver sation and the pastime of eating. Supt. Stanbrough acted as toast master and Introduced Chester A. Dlmond as the first speaker of the evening, asking him to give those present something on the practical side of the school paper. Mr. Dlmond outlined some of the cardinal prin ciples of proper journalism and made a number of suggestions regarding Those present at this first district the handling of the school paper.

This accident’ happened in July, Nearly everyone in Newberg was greatly interested 3n the outcome of the Btate high school basket ball tournament in which Newberg high school was slated to play the Astoria high school in the opening game. Newberg went into the tournament with splendid chances for coming out winners but were out of luck in being chosen to play against one of the best teams in the state in the very first game. / No team goes into a tournament of this kind without a feeling of stage fright which keeps them from doing their beet. Then too the breaks of the game were not with the local team, but in spite of all this, we believe it is fair to say that they came within seven points of the state championship, for Astoria only beat Newberg in the first game by six points and Ashland only beat Astoria by one point. The following account of the N ew - berg-Astoria game is taken from the Oregonian and is we believe a fairly Impartial account of that game. It will be Been that Newberg was ahead at the end of the first half, but lost out and were really beaten la the last few minutes of the game. 1919. A board broke, causing her to trip and fall and injuring her arm. Judge Belt found In favor of the plaintiff and she was swarded dam ages in the amount of $$.000. The city appealed from this decision and the case was argued before the su preme court on July 14, 1921. It was ordered re-argued by the court on January 25, 1922. Attorneys B. A. Kliks of McMinnville and Latour- ette of Oregon City appeared for the plaintiff, while City Attorney Chapin and Attorney W ilbur of Portland ap peared for the city. The point in volved seemB to have been as to the constitutionality of the city charter in limiting the liability of the city to $100 in such a case.

The game was rough and hard fought, es pecially in the last half, when sev eral personal fouls were «sailed on the Newberg quintet. The first half ended 12 to 10 in favor of Newberg, but In the second round, by fast passing and superior teamwork, Astoria overtook Its heav ier opponents and In the last few minutes of play easily outdistanced them. i Carson for Newberg was high point man, scoring 15 points, 12 of these being field goals.

GILBERT CAUED' HOME” ASTORIA WON BT BUT SIX POINTS Everyone Should Deem It An Honor Then Lost to Ashland by One Point To Help in the Erection of This Memorial Structure The drive for funds for the new American Legion Community Mem orial building is starting off very sat isfactorlly and some districts have accomplished remarkable showings already. Of course the amount raised is not anywhere near the necessary total yet, but when it is considered that the drive really only started on Monday morning of this week, al though some work was done last Fri day, and that very little solicitation work has been done In the residence section of Newberg, the results are quite encouraging. The committees, however, face hard and intensive work in order .to bring the total amount in before the close of the drive. At the time o f going to press $7582 had been reported to Chair man S. L. Parrett. This is, of course. Incomplete even of what has been raised for some have not reported in full as we go to press. This is well over one-third o f what w ill be needed and shows that the people realise th« need for the building and want to do real honor to our boys. The Dundee district deserves special mention for the splendid showing they have made in the drive. Committeeman Allan The deceased leaves a widow, Mrs. reports practically a 100 per cent Mary L.

The annual election of the associa tion will be held at Salem, April 25. 1922 great need of this building not only on the part o f Newberg as a city bn? for the entire community surround ing Newberg. Regardless of anyone’ s opinion of war, its essentialness or its righteous ness, there is surely no one in this entire community who does not feel that our boys who went through the perils of war and faced indeacrib able misery and suffering and who made the supreme sacrifice in the protection of our country and her future happiness and prosperity should be remembered. Three short years have passed and yet much of the patriotic fervor which was man ifest three years ago is already gone. Time has erased from our memory even the names of those who $ay in graves on foreign soil where they died heroically in the service of our country. We cannot afford to wait longer to erect this suitable mem orial to theki lest we lose our enthu siasm to such an extent that it may be impossible to accomplish it at all. Doubtless it w ill be difficult even at this short period to be sure that no name is omitted from the memorial tablet. Do we forget our feelings of loyalty to country and oUr pride in the splendid achievement of our boys over there so soon, then what may we expect from them and others should another such occasion ever arise. Out of hearts of full gratitude We can do no less than give towards this memorial generously. And the same holds true with re spect to those who are still alive. They were Just as willing to go and just as willing to gacriflce and their going did entail great sacrifice even though they were able to return. They are adzing for a memorial for their »departed comrade^ and also quarters for their own organization. W e cannot say no to this request. All that they ask Is a loan from us to help them erect this building which w ill provide them with- a Legion home. A place where they can go for recreation and rest; where their meetings may be held, where they can entertain their friends and where they can give their entertainments. Then for a very selfish end, we cannot fall to do our best to see that this building la erected, for Newberg has needed just this kind of a com munity structure for so long that we need not argue that need here. Nor la It alone the people living in Newberg who need this community building. It w ill provide a place where such large gatherings as com prise not only clttsens of Newberg but of all the surrounding territory may meet. It w ill give Newberg a banquet hall which would accommo date such a banquet as that which the firemen wished to give on their trophy presentation day or such a one aa the Berrim s or Commercial club might want to give, or some organiz ation such as the Farm Bureau. Many attractions of a high clam type which we hate been unable to ac commodate heretofore would then be able to cone here. In fact It Is n real vital community necessity. Every person In the entire com munity In and around Newberg is elder brother survive him. Born of Friends parentage, his long and use ful life was ever influenced by the faith of his fathers, and their prin ciples of right living were deeply embedded in his heart. Sixty years ago. the 21st of next May, he was married to Mary Lamb, and during all these years they have been active in the work -» of the Friends church. Given to hospital ity, their home was always open to the needy, to young people, to 'min isters, to all who needed a word of sympathy or encouragement. They Ntere vitally interested and untiring workers for the cause of universal peace, the temperance question, the educational interest, the missionary enterprises and the revival movements of the church. His life both as a Christian and as a citizen has been characterized by the utmost fidelity to the trusts re posed in him. being always careful in «11 the details of public and pri vate business. In his home life he was a loving devoted husband and father. He was a man who had many friends. His fine spirit and gentle kindly ways won for him the confidence and love of those associated with him. He and his wife have always been loyal to their beloved church, for 46 years they have helped to build up the work of the church and of good citizenship in their community near Lewisville. Indiana. Then they count ed It a privilege to be given a part in the newer work of the Master in Newberg. Oregon, where they have lived the past 14 years. j T o the close of life he maintained a great interest in the work of the church and the events o f the day. Having served his generation faith fully during a long and useful life, he has entered into his reward. “ Blessed are they that die In the Lord; they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.” --------- o--------- PA R E N T-TEA C H ER S’ PROGRAM FOR FR ID AY, M ARCH 31 — Ashland H igh School Are How State Champions e lineup: D R A W BA LA N C E FROM B A N K T W IC E— DIVID E IN COURT Marion Miller, who has been living near Seventh and River streets, was brought in to Judge Churchill’s court on Saturday of last week on a ^arrant charging him with forgery. It seems that Mrs. Miller had an ac count in a local bank and her balance on Friday of last week amounted to $197.25. About « week prior to this she had gone to Portland and on Friday drew a check there for the amount of her balance. This check came through the other local bank and was presented for payment and paid. That same day Mr. Miller called at the bank and asked for Mrs. Miller’s balance. He later returned with a check for the full amount and »was given cash for it. When officials of the bank consulted over the matter they called the city mar shal and were advised to issue a warrant for Miller’s arrest which they did, believing his chock to be a forgery. A hearing was held on Sat urday at which Mrs. Miller declared that she had never signed the check and Mr. M illir declared that she had. The case was finally compromised be tween the two. Mrs. Miller accepting $150 and Mr. Miller taking the $47.26 and agreeing to pay all costs. The forgery chat-ge has not been presed further. --------- o--------- B IR T H D A Y W AS CELEBRATED TH R EE TIMES IK ONE D A Y -V. Mrs. W. W.

Jefferson Would Play Ashland On Friday Pendleton defeated North Bend 44 to 26, Eugene de feated Joseph 65 to 8, Ashland won from Redmond 54 to 19 and Astoria defeated Salem 24 to 18. This left Pendleton. Eugene. Ashland and As toria in the race. On Saturday Pendleton eliminated Eugene by a score of 35 to 21 and Ashland won from Astoria by a score of 28 to 27. The Oregonian says that game was evenly matched with Ash land getting the breaks. In fact, it is said that when the whistle blew, the ball was in the air, and that had it been delayed a second or two. As toria would have won instead of Ashland. This left only Pendleton and Ashland to play in the finals and in this game Ashland won by a score of 45 to 22. Following the tournament the Jefferson high school of Portland, which was barred from entering the tournament, has challenged the Ash land team to play them, claiming that Ashland cannot pose as the champions of the state unless they defeat Jefferson. Coach Quigley of the Jefferson high school says: “ For three years a Portland high school has carried home the bacon. A l though Portland is not eligible to participate in the tournament on the ground that the schools are not mem here of the Oregon high school ath letic association, it looks as if that is not the reel reason.” Coach Quig ley then goes on to say “ The Jeffer son students are of the opinion that inasmuch as wrf defeated Columbia early in the season by an overwhelm ing score and Columbia defeated ev ery team it played In the high school athletic association, the schools of the association are afraid to play us.” Tha parent-teachers’ benefit pro gram, which will be given at Wood- Mar Hall on Friday evening.
