The Dalles and ten from Eastern Star Chapters of Moro, Grass Valley,* Baker and Spo- kane. Those escorted to the East were Worthy Matrons Ethyl Fagan of Columbia Chapter, Ola Ruggles of Bethlehem Chapter,’ Ora Walton of Sherman Chapter and Worthy Pkt- rone C tS. Hampton of Columbia and L. V. Walton of Sherman Chapter- Corsages and boutonnieres were pre sented by. Annie Fulton Chapter to those in the East including the, presid ing Worthy Matron Esther Proudfoot and Worthy Patron M. L. Burnett. Special recognition was given to Lois Stone of The Dalles under whose direction a play was presented by members of Columbia Chapter. Most of the presentation was in com edy andpr oved very entertaining to those present The hall was beauti fully decorated with baskets of flow ers and autumn foliage. children or other responsible relatives who are able to care for them. Pen- . sions will not be given to any person or any couple having property worth 83000 or over and persons who have sold property worth that ram to ap pear destitute will not be granted pensions Non-income property belonging to the applicant; will be figured as worth 5 per cent of its value to applicant as income. On the death of a pensioner or the last of a couple who have received a pension the state may compute the pensions paid with interest at 3 per cent and levy against the property belonging to pensioner for that sum- Also the county pension board, which is the county court, may ask the ap plicant to deed his property to it when the pension is granted The pension board may reject a pension but it must state its reasons for so doing. The applicant may ap peal to the circuit court if he or she does not consider the ruling just- Witnesses» may be subpeonied to tes tify regarding the financial status of an applicant. Pensioners must remain in Oregon and must report any gifts or increase in wealth to the pension board and the board may reduce the penvion- They may also increase it if cause be shown. ■ ' Pensions may be paid to homes for th# aged if pensioners are unable to care for themselves in their own homes. No other relief may be given a receipant of a pension except for medical attention. ' - Penalties for giving false testimo ny or aiding an applicant to get a pension illegally may be |500 fine and —or a year in the penitentiary. A county may not authorise any pension for more than 880 < per month. As deductions are made for value of property held and as pen sions are not given to those having relatives capable of earning support for them and as there are several other restrictions that will reduce the number of successful applicants it is probable that the county pension board will not be crowded with appli cation blanks after the first of the year when the law becomes effective. The blanks themselves are long enough to frighten anyone but a lawyer. Mao Held For Grand Jury Justice of Peace Joseph Mee, of Wasco, Monday bound George Lam- bom over to the grand jury under 81000 bail. He was accused of rape on the person of his grand neice. The grand jury Will meet November 20 when the circuit court convenes here. Red Cross Appeals For Public Support Every man and woman in Sherman county is invited to join the Ameri can Red Cross during the annual Rell Call for' memberships held between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving, November 11 to 30- D. J. Butcher, Chairman of The Dalles Chapter in extending the in vitation declares that never before in the 52 years of Red Croqs history have so many people in this state been direct or indirect beneficiaries of Red Cross service^. Enthustestic volunteers are organi zing under the leadership of Mrs. Ethel Kenney, Shaniko. Mrs. John Silvertooth, Antelope, Mrs. C- L. Poley, Grass Valley. Geo B- Bourhill, Moro, and Mrs. B. E. Hailey, Wasco. These leaders are enlisting the coop eration of many local leeulers who will conduct the canvaas. Between now and Armistice Day, the opening of the membership cam paign, local workers will place in strategic positions, Red Cross posters with their symbolic figure pleading for the relief for those in need, win dow cards visualizing the massing of Red Gross colors, and other informa tive literature. These leaders also ask that all citizens be ready to enroll when the Red Cross canvassers call, thereby making possible a quick and thorough enrollment of the community without the necessity of a second trip. Every new member receives a new Red Cross bui itton and from the win- dows of homes will be displayed stickers bearing a large red cross, and where all members of the family join they will receive a Red Cross window flag indicating “every mem ber of this family has joined ” Memberships are designated as follows. Annual,’ >1.00; Contribu ting, 8500; Sustaining, 81000; and Supporting, 825.00. All except fifty cento of each mem- ■ bership goes to support activities of the local Rod Cross chapter, the other fifty cents going to the National Headquarters to be used for Disaster Relief and other National Emergen cies. * talks very thought provoking, ... .

Five' members of th« non-high school board and twice that many farmers spent Monday afternoon in serious session debating the trans- portation of high school pupils in the rural districts. The result was that the budget will be changed to include an item of 82500 for such taMtipoi- taJion. » A m outlined by secretary Knighten and further explained by members of the board, the plan was worked out to provide the same opportunity for rural high school children as is en joyed by those living in high school districts. The non-high district law places rural high school children un der Ihe direction of the board and they expressed themselves as anxious to do what they could to aeeth at all such children could attend school. It was proposed to increase the non-high school budget so as to al low the payment of transportation to districts now operating a bus and to allow for payment to parents for the transporting their own children to school. As a basis two and a half cents per mile was taken. A sliding scale will be made for the payment which will allow a large amount for one or two pupils than for several. Districts having a buss will not be permitted to charge more than they are now expending for high school children transportation* There are some instances in the county where a few dollars given for transportation by the board, will in sure the attendance of high school boys and girls all the year, The plan will partially equalize the cost between those who live close and those who live at considerable dis- tance in the opinion of board mem bers favoring the plan. Rates sug gested were two and a half cents per pupil mile for the first pupil, one cent per pupil mile for the second and perhaps less for the third and fourth up to a maximum sum of probably five or six cents per mile for a car- The rates have not been made up and these figures are only those suggested The final hearing on the amend ment budget will be held November 17 at tthe court house and after that date the plan will be completed.

He o;>ened his talk by a clear por trayal of the conditions under which "the new deal has put into effect and contrasted the Work together spirit of the present administration with the individualism of the Hoover re gime. He spoke briefte of the need for public relief of labo^and reported the good that has already accrued to the new policy. ---- - The president, be depicted as a human being with a regard for the welfare of his fellow citizens and he characterized Secretary of Interior Ickes as a man very careful to keep - public works administration is not guilty of the charge of slowness that has been placed against it, Mr. John son said- The difficulty of getting the applicants to make out their pa pers correctly has done more to cause delay than anything else, he said. The state board has not held up prop erly made applications over 24 hqurs- A report of the activities of the club for the past year and a half was * made by Secretary Fred Pickett who told of the dubs interest in highways, signboards and the work that has been done toward getting a bank to come to the county.
