PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1929. BOARDMAN The Ladies Aid novelty minstrel, "In the Olden, Golden Days," was given Friday night at the high school auditorium in spite of the various handicaps and vicissitudes which came up at the last moment. Linda Hango who was to have play ed for the minstrel was ill so Miss Henry was to take her place and she also became ill on Friday, but Mrs. Lowell Spagle kindly helped out at the last moment Mrs. Mar schat, the leading soprano and Miss Henry being unable to sing forced several changes in the program and their voices were indeed missed. The audience graciously overlooked all the deficiencies, however, and en joyed the ludicrous costumes and jokes of the minstrels. Had a prize for the best costume been given, it would have, undoubtedly, gone to Mr. Marschat, who in his red dress, silken veil, earrings, made the clev erest darktown flapper, and he was recognized by only a few until he sang a solo number, "Sleep, Ken tucky Babe," and the recognition he received almost ruined the beau tiful song as the giggles and roars of laughter swept over the house. Mrs. J. R. Johnson (Miss Amanda), charming in an old-fashioned gown of white with powdered hair, and her brother, L. V. Root (Master Ranny), in colonial costume, were entertained by the negroes in honor of Miss Amanda's birthday. Mrs. Nate Macomber was 'Mammy," Ba sil Pramer and Mary Chaffee were the twins with their quarreling and their jokes and their dance; little Clara Mae Dillon made a darling little pickaninny and sang "Mam my's Little Coal Black Rose." Vic tor Hango and Ray Barlow were there with their tall silk hats and dignified air; Nate Macomber and F. A. Fortier made two good enii men; Mrs. Claude Coats and Mrs. Fortier had a good line of patter; Mrs. Gorham and Mr. Fortier gave a talking duet, "You're the Cream in My Coffee;" Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs. -Coats sang "Hushaby My Ba by." Norma Gibbons took Mrs. Marschat's speaking part without ever having practiced. Mr. Marschat sang two numbers, "Carolina Moon" and "Sleep Kentucky Babe." The prelude consisted of a recitation by Norma Gibbons, a line of patter by Norma and Ray Barlow, Ray hav ing received the part about an hour previous as Miss Henry was to have taken it, and a pantomime, "Old Black Joe," by Nate Macomber, with the men's chorus singing the . music off stage. Mrs. W. O. King made the curtain speech. The pro gram closed with several little skits and songs. Brice Dillabough sang "Sonny Boy"; the cake walk by Mrs. Coats and Mr. Fortier and the banjo, guitar and mouth harp selections by Mr. Macomber, Victor Hango and Ray Barlow with Mr. Fortier doing some gymnastic uke lele playing; rhymes by Mrs. Hum phrey and a clever little closing rhyme written by Mrs. King was given by Mrs. Fortier, before the last song, "Mammy's Lullaby," con cluded the first home talent min strel ever given in Boardman. Mrs. E. T. Messenger had charge of the decorations which were very pretty, Mrs. Gorham, Mrs. Fortier and Mrs. Hereim were the members of the social committee who planned and arranged the entertainment An anonuncement received by Mrs. Ransier will prove of Interest to a number of Boardman people.

C, gave an inspirational talk to the high school students on Thursday on vocational guidance. A sudden attack of indigestion accompanied by a bad nightmare on the part of W. O. King early Thursday morning created some ex citement and a hurried call for a doctor later was cancelled when he failed to recognize members of the family and blood came from his mouth. Mrs. King became alarm ed and feared he had an attack of ptomaine poisoning. It was found later that he had bitten his cheek and that some apples eaten just be fore bed time had caused the in digestion. A dull headache the fol lowing day and some good natured chaffing on the part of his friends was the aftermath, everyone being indeed glad that it was merely a false alarm. Helen Gross, the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross was hurt Sunday morning when the 2x6 posts on which the children's swing was suspended, fell one of the timbers striking her.

Mrs. George Lambirth was a Her miston visitor on Tuesday. There was some genuine excite ment in the region of the Alpine high school last Monday. Since this is the spring of the year, everybody likes to forget about school and books; besides, the weather was so temptingly warm that everyone ag reed that playing "hooky" was ex actly the thing to do. Seven stu dents "piled" into the Ford touring car owned by Gertrude Tichenor, a student of Alpine. They started out with no destination In view. Someway the car got started north and it wasn't long until these ad-ventue-seeking miscreants found themselves surrounded by cactus, sand and sagebrush, over near Fin ley's Siding. With six lively young people to push through the ever- present sand dunes it was but a short while until they entered Uma tilla. Not thinking the lark a com plete success until the had visited Mrs. Warner who formerly taught at Alpine, they drove on to Irrigon where she lives. Their next move was to Hermiston where they rav enously devoured some sandwiches and candy. Sand was in their shoes, cactus was in their feet, and a. hole was in an innertube which of course isn't so extremely funny, but everyone accepted It as part of the game. When one plays hooky he must expect the bitter with the sweet, which gives those students a grateful feeling. They parted about six o'clock in the evening in the best of spirits despite the fact that they were very tired and sunburned. J. D. Cash, Penney Mgr., Cites New Relationship The close relationship between the ultimate buyer and the great business concern which serves him was emphasized at the spring con vention of the J. C. Penney com pany at Portland, from which he has just returned, asserts J. D. Cash, local manager. "It was the keynote of the bus iness sessions. All the men who spoke dwelt upon the fact that cus tomers are entitled to know about the organization from whom they buy and that these organizations are giving them all the facts. "Anyone, from the printed details which the leading corporations al ways have available, can learn the policies and ideals of any big com pany in a short time. "The news press throughout the country has immediate access to the facts regarding any large cor poration that is definitely on the road to win and maintain public confidence. "Officers and directors are realiz ing thatthe big boss in every bus iness Is the buying public and our own officials stated this very clear ly at the convention." One hundred J. C. Penney store managers were present In Portland during the convention which is one of fourteen that are being held over the country this month. Try a Gazette Times Want Ad. New York Life Insurance Co.
