Editorial
(Stafford Hansell) -
Diversity is not emphasized ac
cording to its importance. Diversity
can be called one of the stepping
stones to success. The football play
er may be a wonder at carrying the
ball, but if he cannot tackle or play
defensively, he is of no value. A
business man who knows how to
spend money wisely but cannot make
it, will never be successful. Various
phases of school life or business world
are over-emphasized and not enough
thought given to diversity. The all
around pupil is fairly talented in all
branches of school life and, while he
may not be as good in one subject as
one who is specializing in that sub
ject, will probably be more success
ful in after life because he possesses
diversity. A man may be a wonder
along some line of work, but if he
cannot put his thoughts in words, his
genius goes for naught. Subjects
should be emphasized according to
their importance, but none should be
eliminated- because they are difficult
for the particular person concerned.
Future success is dependent on di
versity so it should be treated ac
cordingly. ,

Last Friday's basketball game was
the first of the season but as it was
not a scheduled game it has no bear
ing on the coming season but helped
to show "Pike" the strength of his
team. The score was 50-28 in favor
of Milton Alumni.
The Milton Alumni walked away
from the local boys at first, but in
the last the boys came out and started
dropping in the baskets. Although
the boys kept working hard, they
were too far behind to -redeem them
selves. The next game will be with Pen
dleton here tonight.

Didn't Stop To Pet
The Pesky OF Varmint
The Weston Leader gives the fol
lowing story of the meeting up with
a cougar in the Weston mountain
district by a couple of the Weston
editor's fellow townsmen:
"Dave Burts and Frenchy Dupuis
were up on Weston mountain one day
last week, getting out pitch kindling
from a pine stump near the Gust Ol
son place, when as nightfall approach
ed they heard an affrighting scream.
"Burts was all for going to the aid
of some lady in distress, but Frenchy
told him to lay off the knight errant
stuff that he had heard a cougar
screech before. The beast came near
er and screamed again from a clump
of brush a few rods away. Burts took
the axe, handed Frenchy a pole, and
the two prepared to sell their lives
dearly, but the cougar did not attack.
"Retreating in good order and with
faces to the foe, the two men got out
of there pretty pronto. Burts and
others went back later after the var
mint, but it had vamoosed to parts
unknown." ,
Umatilla County Nurse
Gives Interesting Report
In her report for the month of
November, Helen J. Samson, Umatil
la county nurse, reveals that every
school in the county except one has
been visited and a total of 491 pupils
received examination.
Miss Samson reports one interest
ing , incident encountered in her
rounds of the schools of the county.
"Only two pupils were in attendance
at one school which I reached shortly
before 9 a. m." says Miss Samson.
"The teacher stated that the other
pupils, five in number, were often
tardy as they came m an old Ford
and frequently had a flat tire. The
teacher was anxious that one of the
girls absentees be examined as she
apparently was below par. There
fore I made a home call and found
four of the pupils ready to start on
the way to school. The paraphernalia
for a regular examination was
brought in and set up in the home.
The mother became quite interested
and requested that the two pre-school
children also be weighed andmeasured
and their throats inspected. This was
done to every one's satisfaction and
the pupils set out for school."
Gun Club Turkey Shoot
Went Over Big In Rain
Despite the rain a goodly number of
shooters attended the turkey shoot

noon. A number of the members of
the Pendleton Gun Club, including
Henry Collins and "Paddy" Matlock
came up and participated in the shoot
Over thirty nice, fat turkeys and
three sheep were won by shooters in
the different contests over the Ath
ena traps. . -
The success of the shoot, sponsored
by the Athena Gun Club, was due in
large measure to the e Torts of Marion
Hansell and Glenn Dudley, who were
in charge of arrangements.
Bert Ramsay was on hand as usual
in his large capacity as fireman. His
big bonfire was a source of much
comfort to the shooters, who greatly
enjoyed its glowing warmth between
shooting events.
