PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MA 6, 1926. mil Quota One Half Filled; Vigorous Life in Open Appeals to Youth. The Plattsburg idea of an Annual Military Camp where the young men of the Nation can have a month of vigorous outdoor training is growing in popularity. That as great a por tion of the citizens of the country as possible be made familiar with the rudiments of military training is t most important consideration in the Nation's safety. But beyond this the training camp idea appeals to the young men of the country in its recreational features, and in its tendency toward physical betterment. Unrcle Sam gives a months vacation at the various training camps, without cost to those who en roll, with transportation, board, lodg ing and clothing furnished gratis. There are daily exercises to teach the rudiments of military training and the care and improvement of the physical body all under the best of expert in structors. The recreational features include swimming, baseball, tennis, boxing, and all kinds of sports and fames; then there are the dances and other forms of entertainment as well as week-end trips to points of interest in the vicinity of the camps. The vigorous life in the open, the com radeship with young men from dis tant localities, and the spirit aroused in a common patriotic service makes for better citizenship. General Per shing says: "The young men grow more aggressive, more confident; they get the spirit of leadership and in itiative and in every way become bet ter able to meet the problems of ev ery day life." In the several Camps located in the Northwest applications have been re ceived to about half fill the quota al owed. Young men contemplating at tendance should make application at ence. Infantry Camps are to be held at Vancouver Barracks and Fort George Wright, Washington. The Field Artillery camp will be held at Camp Lewis, Wash., whiis the Coast Artillery section wiil e trained at Fort Worden. Washington. Blank ap plications and any information re garding th". camp? c?;n bo obtained from the commanding officer of any of the camps above mentioned. MR. SCOTT IMPROVES. Oral Scott reports that his father, Harvey Scott, who has been very ill at the Morrow General hospital in this city for the past three weeks, is now improving, and there is good prospect that he will soon be conva lescing. Mr. Scott had to undergo serious operations, and being 76 years of age it was feared that he could not survive the ordeal, and he had also been in failing health for some time previous. The many friends of Mr. Scott and family will be glad to hear of his improved condition. One, two or three furnished and heated rooms for rent. See C. A. Minor. BOARDMAN MRS. A. T. HBREIM, Correspondent E. T. Messenger and family, and Mrs. M. K. Flickinger motored to Stanfield Sunday afternoon and visit ed at the Rev. Gibson home. The grange plans to have a food sale on Saturday, the 15th. Jack Gorham is driving his fine new Chevrolet coach. Mr. and Mrs. Pat Siscel of Wasco were recent visitors at the Ballenger home on their way to Hermiston last week. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Duggan of Whit comb, Wash., were week-end visit ors here. Mr. Duggan has been get ting his ranch ready for irrigation. He owns the place near Coyote Springs which formerly belonged to A. Anderson. Roy Duncan of Willow creek was a Boardman caller on Friday. A dance was held Saturday night at Geo. Mitchell's grove. Music was furnished by Mrs. Corder, a blind woman from Condon, who gave an entertainment in town on Friday night. "Peter Pan" was the movie given last week and it was shown to a full house. The dance given by the high school followed with music by Fletch er's orchestra of Pendleton. The stu dents cleared about $12 at the dance. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ballenger and Maxine and Mr. McPherson left Sun day for Portland and Klamath Falls for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Calkins arrived Saturday from a two weeks business trip to Califronia by motor. They visited over Sunday with their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Calkins, re turning to their home in Spokane. The little son Oscar who has been visiting his grandparents went home with them. Nate Macomber and famliy and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Carr motored to Pen dleton Saturday and drove on to Pilot Rock where they visited with Mrs. Macomber's relatives for a short time.' Mrs. J. A. Marlowe and son Roy came Saturday for a visit with the former's daughter, Mrs. Dan Ransier and family. It is reported that H. B. Calkins of the West End has rented the Sign's place for this year. Mr. and Mrs. Helms from over lone way recently moved into the Sign's house. The Boardman baseball team is coming nobly to the front and on Sunday the boys distinguished them selves by again vanquishing Echo at Boardman by an 11 to 1 score. Echo was able to obtaiii only one score. .fext game is with Hermiston Sunday at that place. Paul M. Smith is enjoying a visit from his brother. Nick Faler, his mother, R. Wasmer and Mrs. Harry Schreiver went to Portland where they attended the wedding of Mr. Faler's niece, Odessa Leonard. Odessa attended school in Boardman one year making her home with Mrs. Schreiver (then Myrtle McNeil) and has a host of friends here among the younger contingent who will be interested to hear of her marriage. Chas. Hango returned Saturday from Hood River where he attended the funeral of his brother, John Hango, who passed away at the san itarium at Troutdale on Tuesday eve ning. John Hango was the' oldest brother of Chas. Hango and has vis ited here at different times. He was here for some time about Christmas He had been suffering with tubercu losis for some time and an attack of pleurisy hastened his death. He leaves a son and daughter in Ed monton, Canada. We should like to make a sugges tion that something be done about the school radio. A great many dollars was expended on it and prac tically no results obtained. As con ditions are now, it is impossible to hear the radio when the engine is running and it is impossible to have lights without running the engine, hence the radio is of comparatively little value to anyone. If no one derives any benefit therefrom let's dispose of it and use the money for purchasing athletic equipment. The original purpose of the money which was used to purchase the radio was to erect a platform for basketball games. That did not and does not seem very feasible but the radio has been of little value so far. Ray Browns were Hermiston vis itors Saturday. Some alarm was felt over the wa ter situation here recently when wa ter in the Umatilla fell at a sur prising rate until no water was com ing over the dam at all and a short age was created that caused some worry. The water is being distri buted on an hour basis, both time and water being limited. It is thot that conditions will improve at the drainage from the Hermiston project will help. The farmers on the West End and especially those on the spill way are the hardest hit. The trees which Sam Boardman and Ms crew have planted along the high way are now being irrigated. We are greatly interested in this pet pro ject of Mr. Boardman's and would like to see the trees "flourish as the Bay Tree," but it would seem as though more water were required for them than if irrigated earlier in 'he season. The trees are leafed out row and look very well but have not attained the growth they should have. An avenue of trees along these bar ren stretches of highway would in deed be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The Auxiliary play is to be given Saturday night, May 8th. "The Sky Riders" is the name and it no doubt will be up to the usual standard of Auxiliary plays. Home talent plays are aways enjoyed. This section was visited by a fine rain which fell all night Saturday. This will prove of inestimable value to the crops and will help during the water shortage. Jack Gorham and Roy Rands were business visitors at Hermiston Mon day. Mardell Gorham is a victim of the mumps. Mrs. Bob Mitchell is enjoying a visit with her sister who drove up from Portland Monday and took her by surprise. It is very clear that Louise Palmer Weber, candidate for nomination for governor never possessed a husband or a father who were devotees of John Barleycorn in the pre-Volstead days, else she most assuredly would not use "Modify the Volstead Act" as one of her platform planks. We're "agin" her, and prefer Pierce and his income tax harangues to Madam Web er and her modifications. BERRIES FOR SALE. Prepaid. Gooseberries $1.76 crate, ready Apr. 25th. Clark Strawberries $2.75.
