County Chapter American. Red Cross

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,

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.

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;

;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.

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. We are
glad that the old days of petty
class "false-pride" are over with and
that the natural avowed class
enemies can thus come together upon
an equal status and uphold the best
principles of good-fellowship.
Ted Young enlisted in the ranks
of the Sophs the first of the week.

running gear now, as practically all
"flu" and mumps patients are back

CALL UNIVERSAL MEMBER-'
SHIP THE GOAL
The Object of the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call is to enroll every
person in the United States as a
member of the American Red Cross.
The primary purpose of the cam
paign Is not money, but membership,
the registration in terms of active
participation of the spirit of our
nation in the greatest humanitarian
organization the world has ever
known. We want to hind together
every man and woman in America by
a common bond of brotherhood and
sisterhood in an organization whose
sympathies and efforts are as un
iversal as human sufferings and need.
We want to marshall tho spiritual
force of this great nation and give
ttiat force expression through the
American Red Cross.
The time selected for t 'tis worthy
work is the week of Dec. 16-23. It
is peculiarly appropriate that the
Roll Call be had during l he Christ
mas season. . With a splendid victory
attained and the dawn of peace at
hand, the ingathering of all our
people In this great altruistic order
serves at once as a fitting climax to
our achievements and f.tMn? -thank
oflaring for the guidance that has
led us to vhern.
During the above period every
man and woman in Morrow county
will be asked to join the Red Cross.
If you are already a member, you
will be asked to renew your member
ship for 1919, if not a member you
will be asked to take a 1919 member
ship as your first. No children but
only adults will be solicited. The
membership fee will be $1.00 the
same as in, former years. Of this
amount 50 cents will go to your
local chapter and 50 cents to the
National organization. Every dis
trict of the county will be organized
and canvassed by competent workers.
Every membor will be given a 1919
button, every home will receive a
service flag with small crosses to
express the number of members or
absent ones enrolled in the army or
navy.
.Universal membership is the key
note of the campaign. This thought
is expressed in the language of our
president, "1 summon you to com
radeship." To our absent boys; to the val
orous allies by whose side they have
fought,, wo want to send a nicssags
on Christmas eve; the message that
the American nation stands solidly
behind the Red Cross, the great
mother, who never faltered or
fai!e.d them even in their greatest
extremity. Join the Rod Cross, make

been across and back five times on
the Atlantic and has had some ex

assisted in the destruction of at least
three German subs. Cecil says that
the boys on the ship were not the
least excited when the subs bobbed
up and were ready to tackle them
with all the force at their command.
The officers on board, however,
seemed to get pretty much excited.

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

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.

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.

Shall We Fall Down On This?
To tlioe who pledged tliemsetvex to
purchase War Saving Stamps:
In the month of June we pledged
ourselves to purchase f90.000.00
worth of War Savings Stamps by
January 1. 1!19. A little over
three weeks remain ami wc
have actually purchased $70,354.00
worth, maturity value. Many who
gave us their pledges have not re
deemed them. In many cases this
is only carelessness. We had too
long to make good in and we have
slept on the job. We must wake up
and pay up. The county has not
failed to meet a single war demand
made upon her, we can not afford
to repudiate this debt of honor. Buy
your War Savings Stamps. Do it
to-day. You can not afford to go
into the new year a defaulter.
