Marshall Phelps Now Birdman
Marshall Phelps, well-known
Heppner boy w ho enlisted iti the
Marine corps a few months ngo
after speedily qualifying as ao
expert machine gunner, is now
at Miami, Florida, Warning to
fly. He writes very interesting
letters to his parents, from one
of which the following excerpt is
made:
"We spend several Injurs each
day out in the tield waiting for
our turn logo up in the air. Fly
ing is a great sensation, believe
me, but it is lots of fun. Was
afraid it might make me sick but
it never bothered me at all.
Haven't been up over 3000 feet
so far. but everything looks pret
ty small at that distance. Houses
look like little spots and large
orchards resemble small garden
patches, l :i tell you when a
person feels kind of funny, and
that is when the pilot shuts off
the engine, points the machine
almost straight down and coasts.
Believe me, you travel. We
dropped almost 1500 feet that
way the other day. For thefirst
instant your heart is up in your
throat, but you soon lose your
fear and begin to enjoy it. You
are relieved when he rights the
machine and starts the motor
again, however. They have sev
eral Hoot Lieutenants that are
learning to fly and they have ac
cideuts every so often, but so
far nothing serious except to the
machine. They are so frail that
they are easily broken if they
land upside down. fcJeveral men
are reported killed at the naval
tield on the other side of town.
"Was talking to a lad from
Philadelphia this morning. 1
told him I was from Oregon and
he didn't know where it was.
Said he never heard of any state
by that name. That's tne truth,
no fooling."

Heppner to Have Home Guards
At a well attended meeting in
the council chamber Tuesday
evening it was unanimously vo
ted to orgonize a company of
Homeguards in Heppner and
every man present, to the num
ber of about 50, signed a tenta
tive muster roll.
While it is not expected that
much real war work will be found
in this community for an armed
force of home defenders, it was
the concensus of opinion that the
moral effect of a well drilled mil-
tary organization will be worth
much as a warning to trouble
makers and other disloyal and
evil disposed persons.
The first drill was held in the
Fair pavilion Wednesday evening
with Tom Chidsey and M. L.
Case. Spanish war veterans, and
Loy Turner, who had military
training at the O. A. C, as drill
masters.
It is understood that the state
will lurnish proper arms and
equipment as soon as the com
pany is properly organized.
The drill will be of great pbys
ical benefit to all taking part and
it is the wish of those in charge
of the organization to have the
boys of the community, who are
too young to become active mem
bers subject to military duty, to
drill with the company whenever
possible.
