The election of a Board of Direc tors and officers for the Morrow County Chapter American. Red Cross was held at Masonic Building n Tuesday evening. The attendance at the meeting was not large but notwithstanding, the lnterost was good and a lively meeting resulted, j Little, difficulty was encountered in. the election of the Board of .Direc-j tors, but when it came to getting ( a cliairman and secretary, it was a different story. For almost two years past, the important posts of chairman and secretary have been filled by Mrs. Phill Colin and Mrs. A. M. Phelps. It has been a time of strenuous work and these two ladies felt that they could not accept the positions again, though earnestly urged to do o. They have fully demonstrated their ability and the work they had in charge has been well done and is fully appreciated by all workers of the Red Cross. Showing the appre ciation and esteem In which Mrs. Cohn and Mrs.. Plielps are held, a rising vote of thanks was extended them and many regrets were ex pressed that they were compelled to step down and out for the coming year. Passing the compliments around, the post of chairman was offered to nearly every member present at. the meeting, and only courtesy tfc those not in attendance kept the honor from being passed up to them also. After much discussion and per suasion, the.' chairmanship was placed upon Mrs. S. W. Spencer and Miss Mary Farnsworth was duly elected secretary. M. D. Clark was chosen vice-president and H. E. Storm, treasurer. The following constitute the Board of Directors: S. E. Notson, Mrs. J. A. Patterson, Mrs. F. N. Frye, Mrs. 'Lena Snell Shurte, C. E. Woodson, Mrs. A. E. Binns, Mrs. Tom Boyd, Vawter Craword, Mrs. W. H. Her ren, W. P. Mahoney, Mrs. A. M. Phelps, S. I. Pattison, S. W. Spencer, Mrs. W. A. Richard sou, Mrs. Vawter Crawford. The executive committee are Mrs. S. W. Spencer, Miss Farnsworth, Mr. Storm, Mr. Clark, Mrs. Phelps, Mr". Notson and Mr. Crawford. On Wednesday evening the ex ecutive committee met and made the following appointments: Chairman Membership Committee, C. E. Wood son; Finance, J. J. Nys; Civilian Relief, Mrs. Phill Cohn; War Relief, Oscar Borg; Publicity, Mrs. A. E. Binns; Work Rooms, Mrs. F. N. Frye; Checking Committee, Mrs. R. J. Vaughan and Mrs. C. L. Sweek; Packing and Shipping, Mrs. M. D. Clark and Mrs. J. W. Beymer; Knit ting, Mrs. J. A. Patterson. While it Is not expected that there will be an excessive amount of work to be attended to, now that peace Is on the ,way, yet there Is much In prospect for the Red Cross. The general work of relief that fol lows In the wake of war's ravages will have to be looked after and there will also be the returning soldiers whose problems the Red Cross will have to assist in solving In every local community. The work of the Red. Cross,, from National Head quarters down has been largely im proved by the experience passed through the past two years and it is now well systematized and greatly Blmplyficd. The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, In charge of C. E. Woodson in this county, will be pushed during the week beginning on December 16. Concerning this we have the follow ing announcement from State Head quarters: Every ndult citizen in Oregon is to to asked to Join the Rod Cross or re new his membership during the Christmas Roll Call, which will be held the week beforo Christmas, December 16-23. Membership in the Red Cross posts $1 a year. ' There will be no receipts given (Continued on Page 8.) ANNUA A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR AR MENIAN AND SYRIAN RELIEF The International Sunday School Vssooiation i.i co-operating with the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Keliuf in an effort to se cure a Christmas offering from every Sunday School in the United States and Canada for the relief of tin needy in Bible lands. A Christmas gift from those in a land of plenty t: those whoso dire need and poverty we can hardly appreciate. It is the plan of the Isternational Sunday School Association to have a Visitor appointed for every Sunday School, whose duty 'it shall be to visit the school some Sunday beforo Christmas Day and present the need of this work and appeal to the school to take a generous offering for the' relief of these destitute and starving people. Frank A. Andrews, minister of the Christian Church here, who is Secretary of the Morrow County Sun day School Association, has been asked to superintend this work for Morrow county. The following per sons have been appointed as Visitors for schools in this county: Lexington Sunday Schools, W. F. Barnott; lone S. S., Chas. O'Neill; Hnnnfman S. S., Mrs. Boardman; Irrigon S. S., Mrs. W. L. Suddarth: Dist. No. 4 S. S., Miss Nellie Hart; Dodsdon S. S., Mrs. Copenhaver; Al ;ine S. S., Mrs. W. B. Fiuley; Lena S. S. Mrs. Mabel Hughes; Pine City S. S., Mrs. Bartholomew; Blackhorse S. S., Mrs. Edna Ilrown. If there are any other Sunday Schools in the county not in this lint they are urged to take the offering and report to the county secretary. Possibly some who do not attend any Sunday School would like to have a part In this splendid work. If so, send in your Christmas gift di rectly to the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, 1 Mad ison Ave., N. Y. City; or send it through some Sunday School. An or phan child can be supported for $5 a month. Why not adopt an orphan for a year or more? Every, penny contributed to this work will be used in the field for the relief of these people. All expense tor postage and administration Is met by private contribution for that pur pose. As a Christian nation we must help heal up the wounds of war. These people were pot combatants bu,t suffering because of German and Turkish barbarity. In your plenty and prosperity remember those in need.

After several speeches in favor of the publication' the students cast a unanimous vote for it, and so work will start lm modiatuly on anw hi dead earnest. We hope to have a record breaking annual this year, and so uphold past records of the "Huhisch." The Juniors and Sophs will con vene in 'an enjoyable evening to morrow evening, Said occasion being a Junior-Soph party.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE IN- STALLS NEW INSTRUMENT Lectro Makes Ik-pair Powdble on Magneto Without Taking Down j Tluit Part. S. R. Hemphill president of the Hemphill Trade School of Portland, has invested and patented a mechan ical instrument to locate and clear short circuits ano other electrical troubles in Ford magnetos. The Lectro, which is the trade name of : this instrument, promises to be a ; great boon to all Ford owners, says the inventor. It offers, through Ford service stations, a dependable and inexpensive means of locating aud clearing short-circuits in Ford mag netos by burning out foreign sub stances that adhere to the field coils, such as strands from brake linings, cotter-pins, lint, cotton-waste and other matter that accumulates In the eagiue base and is carried through by the circulation of the oil. This instrument also recharges every magnet equally, giving greater pull ing force and permanence to . the magnetic field than any device now on the market. , Mr. Hemphill proves by actual demonstration on the most misused Ford cars the rejuvination and re newed "pep" in the car after a few minutes of Lectro application and treatment. These demonstrations, on old and new cars, have covered a period of several months and con vinced a majority of the Portland Ford service stations of the value and practicability of this instrument. The Lectro method has been installed in Heppner by Messrs. Hill & John of the Universal Garage, where local owners of Ford cars can obtain ser vice. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. , "Where you're always welcome."

Victory Thanksgiving Services At nine o'clock Thursday morning lant, services were held appropriate to Thanksgiving day at St. Patrick's church, and the thoughts of the con gregation gathered there at that hour were directed aloii? the line of a victory celebration. Father P. J. O' Rourke spoke from the text: "Praise the Lord all ye nations; praise the Lord all ye people." He called atten tion in the first place to the thanks iue to the Creator for directing the great victory that had come to the people, and emphasized the impor tance of Christianity in the world, he great factor that can not be over looked in the affairs of man. The ce menting of nations and individuals in a great and closer bond of brother hood and the triumphs of democracy over autocracy were other themes dwelt upon by the speaker,' who joined in voicing the feeling of general satisfacaion ovor the down fall of the forces that have been seeking to triumph over the world and as represented by the former head of the German nation. Father O'Rourke's address was full of optimism for the future' and it was patriotic to the core. Music for the occasion was under the direction of Miss O'Rourke and a number of patriotic selecions were rendered. The service was largely attended. Is Arranging to leave Heipner. Dr. N. E.

This makes Mr. Hughes one of the best ranches on Little Butter creek. THURSDAY KEETIN6 WAS FINE AFFAIR Thanksgiving Services Took, on Na ture of Victory Celebration. The people of Heppner partici pated in union Thanksgiving services at the auditorium of Heppner High School on Thursday morning last. '-' an occasion long to be re membered. The great war being over4 there was a spirit pervading the entire community of true thank fulness, and this spirit was fully, cur.i .d out in the program offered. Mayor Smead presided and the" speakers were mainly from the laity, which constituted an order of service different than in former years. The Thanksgiving proclama tion of President Wilson was read by Francis A. McMenamin, followed by scripture reading by Rev. H. A. Noyes. and prayer by Rev. Frank A. Andrews. Mayor Smead made a short and well prepared address and, the other speakers were Prof. D. W. Boitnott, S. E. Notson, C. E. Wood son and Rev. George B. Van Waters. Tlie.se addresses all 'splendid and highly patriotic, the speakers show ing that they had given special thought to the topics assigned them. Musical numbers intersnersed the program. A chorus sang patriotic airs and the special solos were rendered by Mrs. Roy Cochran, Miss Hazel Radabaugh, Miss Gladys Lane and Mrs. C. Darbee. After attendance upon sucli a patriotic meeting, the people were well prepared to do Justice to the dinners awaiting them, and many a good, old-fashioned Thanksgiving re past was enjoyed by the Heppner, folks. Fines Assessed for Speeding. Sergeant Stockwell of the Oregon Military Police, arrived in Heppner without previous announcement oa Thursday evening last, and his stay here has been frultthl In that a number of speeders have been brought before the city recorder to make proper accounting for the deeds performed. Of this number Fred Lucas and Joe Kenny were the first to be hailed before the court, the former paying fifteen dollars and the latter twenty. George Thomson was taken in also, and contributed his mite and John Kiehn of lone was the latest victim. Of course none of the parties had ex ceeded the speed limit, but thev failed to convince the officers of the fact. There has been much speeding op the streets of Heppner and over the new macadam highway, to the detriment of the streets and roads, and 'while it is somewhat unfortunate for those caught in the act, we hope that the lesson may be heeded by numerous others and a stop made of the practice.
