Boardman has been experiencing
a bit of "very unusual" weather
which has disrupted plans of many
people for many occasions, again
bringing to mind Burns' oft' quoted
lines, "The best laid plans of mice
and men, etc." After snowing spas
modically for days until we were all
fed up on it a few days of slightly
warmer weather came, followed on
Wednesday night by a cold snap
that sent the mercury to 25 degrees
below, and Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights were similar with
varvine temperatures of 2o, b, t
and the days extremely cold.
The Heppner-Boardman basket
ball game to have been played here
Friday night was forfeited by
Heppner because of the bitter wea
ther. It would indeed have been
folly for the boys to have made the
trip. The play, "Our Awful Aunt,"
on which a cast of local people have
been working for weeks, was post
poned for the second time because
of the inclement weather. The date

No school was held Thursday be
cause of the severe cold it was im
possible to get the temperature high
enough in the building until late
the afternoon. On Friday the
busses ran but so few attended that
it was decided not to open school
on Monday. It is a long, cold ride
for the small folks.
The Roots, Barlows and Meffords
have had some delightful dinner
parties together to honor birthdays
in the family, but none more de

nicely and if weather permits will
come home next Sunday. Guy drove
home his new Durant coach.
The Boardman ranchers who
have sheep have been having an
interesting time during the cold
weather with lambs making their
debut into the world. Various
means have been employed, the
most popular method being to take
the lambkins into the kitchen un
til they become a bit accustomed
to the new environment and the
baa-baas have sounded in various
homes on the project Since most
of the farmers have only small
bands they have been enabled to
save a large percentage of the
lambs. Grandpa Nickerson is help
ing L. G. Smith during lambing.
J. R. Johnson suffered with pain
in one of his eyes. He thought he
had some foreign substance in it
but a visit to Dr. Sears on Monday
could detect nothing. The doctor
thought perhaps it was a scratch.
