Now 19, Queen Donne was a Round-Up princeas last year. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Boylen of Pendleton, her father a prominent rancher, being arena director erf the Round-Up, in which he has been active since’“boyhood days. He is also vice- president of the Rodeo Association of America. She is the grand daughter of Mrs. Thomas Boylen, Sr. of Pendleton, and the late Mr. Boylen, for many years timer at the show, and of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Morrison, both families being well known pioneers. The queen, native of Pendleton, ha^ completed her first year at the University of Oregon where she is a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Dohne is a real “ranch girl”; last year she acted as rousta bout on the ranch of her uncle, Lester Kihg, who is also a Round- Up director. The previous year, she and her aunt, Mrs. King, did all jtbe cooking for a crew of 15 men.

Additional cards may be sent out for more information as the nee¿ requires. This is an effort by Sherman countians to he of whatever aid possible to returned veterans and the cooperation of every one is asked and expected County Picnic V-J Day, Very Set For Aug. 26 Joyful; Not So For Certain Word from Mrs Robert Jones, secretary of the Sherman County Picnic, is that the annual gather ing will be held at Laurelhurst park Sunday August 26, instead of August 19, a» previously— and erroneously— reported. • The arrangements have been made for the group to use the park on the 26th. The luncheon will be served at 1:00 p. m. as usual. There will be an election of officers and a reCbrd kept of the meeting. Eighth of Benton School Tax Free About one-eighth of Benton county’s 1944-46 *14,684,767 of assessed property valuation, oi 12.06 percent which amounted to *1,772,987, paid no iqxxial local school district tax that year. For 1943-44 school year, almost one- fifth of that county’s valuation paid no local district tax. The percentage of tax-less property for schools is high in many coun ties. Oregon taxpayers will have to think about this situation at the 1946 general election when they vote on a ballot measure de signed to make all property bear cost of pubhc schools. Atomic Bomb Theory Held Not New Very Enthusiastic Skermaa Coeatiaas Take W ar End Wilk Little Exateiaeat V-J Day, Very Joyful Day, could be detected only by the general lassitude of the citizenry in the towns of Sherman county. Thosa who had work to do did it, but stores were closed all day. No intoxicants were sold and no food stores were open, either those dispensing canned or ¿ooked food. There were no celebrations and no celebrants. If anyone drank any liquor he did it quietly and with sufficient - circumspection t0 go unnoticed. The proclamation of the presi dent and the governor served to keep most businesses closed Wed nesday and Thursday. The court house was closed both days. A few went to The Dalles on the eve of V-J day and some attended the church servitee there Wednes day night In contrast to the pictured and described celebration« in the cit ies Sherman county was more calm than usual, more thoughtful, less exuberant. There was not much discussion of the terms of the surrender as no one knew what they were; there was little talk of what to do with the Japan ese.
