NUMBER 5 The big auditorium of the Heppner High School was packed to capaciiy last Friday evening to enjoy the entertainmdnt given by members of the High School which marked the close of the school year. Because of war conditions which to an extent depleted the ranks of the graduating class, regular graduating exercises were dispensed with this year the entertainment taking the place of the usual more elaborate exercises. The program was excellent and reflected much credit on pupils who took part as well as on their instructors who directed its preparation. Principal feature of the pro gram, however, was the play, "Betsy Baker," in which Miss Ruth Van Vactor starred in the title role being very ably sup ported by Miss Loye DeVore and Messrs Earl Gordon and Norton Winnard. The play was splen didly presented, each of the players showing a marked de gree of histrionic ability. Following the play, Hon. W B. Barrett, chairman of the Board of Education presented the diplomas to the graduating class during which he delivered a splendid address to the young graduates. Mr. Barrett is not a practised orator but many there were present who pronounced his address on this occasion as one of the very best they had ever listened to, Two members of the graduat ing class, Samuel D. Stephens and Cecil Lieuallen. enlisted in the U. S. Navy at the first call to colors and are now at the Presidio, San Francisco, in train ing for. active service. Their diplomas have been forwarded to them at that address. Miss Muriel McCarty was awarded a scholarship in Wil lamette University for excellence in her standind during the High School course.

Flag Medley Freshmen Girls ( Mrs. Emilie Sherman Kelly 'P.FTSRY BAKER" i bas been named as chairman of Despite the cold, miserable weather of last Saturday, the date nf the Morrow County Farmer's Union picnic, a big crowd spent the day in Heppner and while the weather wasu't pleasant the occasion was and everybody seemed to enjoy them selves. Many had dinner in the fail pavilion, where, around the big hot stoves, and with the rather wintry wind shut out, an indoor picuic dinner was enjoyed. Mauy other visitors and not a few townspeople took advantage of the occasion to visit the newly remodeled Palace hotel and to enjoy the excelent cuisine provid ed by Manager Wilkins for the occasion of his formal opening. At 2-30 p. m. the pavilion was fairly well filled by an audience which gathered to hear the merits and demerits of the road bond question discussed. Hon W. L. Thompson, member of the State Roads commission for eastern Oregon, made a strong address for the proposition and Hon. C. D. Strain, tax expert and assessor of Umatilla county and Hon. A. II. Shumway, of Milton, Oregon, member of the legislative committee of the Farmer's Union, spoke against the measure. If nothing else was accomplished by the able addresses, it was proven by all of them that the bonding issue was a debatable questiou. In the evening from 8:00 o'clock until midnight, a big BUY A LIBERTY BOND MEETING JUNE 16 "Buy a Liberty Bond," will be the slogan of Saturday, June 10, when a demonstration will be held in Heppner with the view to emphasizing the need of all loyal citizens with the means to do so to get behind the U. S. government in its hour of need. F. A Freeman, vice-president of the Lumbermans National Bank, C. C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter and S. H. Clautier, of the Multomah Hotel Co., will be the principal speak ers of the occasion and it is ex pected a large crowd will be present and that much good will result from the meeting. Satur day, June 16, is the date and the invitation is general.

What little interest was shown seemed to center on the road bond measure and the returns showed a strong sentiment against it. In the four Heppner precincts the bonding measure lost by 10 votes, the smallest majority cast against any lost measure. The only measure carried in Heppner was that requiring the election of city, town and state officials to be held on same day, This measure carried by 228 yes, 123 no. The measure receiving the hardest jolt here was that limit ing the work and increasing the pay of the members of the legis lature, which lost 62 yes, 270 no.

The number reg istered exceeded all expectations and mauy of the preincts ran short of cards and had to be fur nished additional supplies late in the evening. There was not, the slightest hint of trouble or resistance in auy part of tho county and not the sign of a "slacker." It was nj gala day by any means and the young men who registered gave the impression that they icalized just what they were doing aud just what it might mean. They were serious, determined, and acted like a bunch of buys were seeking neither v.ar nor glory but who were simply getting ready to do their duly when ever the occa sion aiisc-s and they are. called upon.
