PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THUR SDAY, JANUARY 2, 1930 BOARDMAN MRS. A. T. HEREIM. Correspondent Miss Helen Chaffee and Carol Kennedy motored to Heppner on Sunday, December 22, where they were married by Rev. White of the Methodist church Sunday after noon. The bride was charming in brown silk. She was attended by Miss Rachel Johnson. The bride is the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Chaffee, and has spent most of her girlhood here, gradu ating from the Boardman high school. Since her graduation she has clerked in Gorham's store. The bridegroom has been Jack Gor ham's right hand man at the store since the latter started in business. He is a nephew of Mrs. Ray Brown. The marriage was kept secret until Christmas eve when the newly married couple left by motor for Weston,, the home of the groom, to spend Christmas. They will visit other points, being away for about a week. They have rented Mrs. Shell's house where they will make their home. Ferdinand Paristian of Unity, Or., is spending some time at the Ma chan home. The community Christmas of 1929 will long be remembered for it was an unqualified success in every way and in a small community it seems desirable to unite all interests at the Christmastide. Heretofore there has been a tree and program at the church and one at the school. This year everyone contributed financial ly or with help In some way. The decorating committee of which Mrs. W. O. King was chairman, arranged most attractive decorations with the Star of Bethlehem the predominant note on a star-dotted background. The program committee with Mrs, Titus chairman, Mrs. Mead, Mrs. Marschat, Miss Brown and Mrs. Broyles, arranged a pleasing pro. gram, as follows: Community song, invocation, Mrs. Miller; Star of the East, Victor Orthophonic; Scripture reading, Geo. Wicklander; Solo, Mrs. Rands; "Christmas Bells," 14 little folks, several of whom made hteir first public appearance at this time; violin solo, Victor Hango, with Lin da accompanying; recitation, Cath erine Mead; Christmas song, 14 ju nior girls; reading, Mrs. Hereim; community song. This completed the first part of the program. A pageant of the Nativity followed. This was beautifully portrayed with the parts of Mary and Joseph taken by Mrs. Rands and Lee Mead, the shepherds, the angels, the wise men. the inn keeper all in realistic cos tumes and well taken. Mrs. Mead played the accompaniment for the pageant and the chorus sang back stage. The appearance of Old San ta (Chas Wicklander) thru the fire place brought hilarious shouts from the children. Santa brought a treat for every individual on the project, Pete Farley was chairman of the finances and Mr. Johnson of the treats and both had able assistants. Everyone on the project who did not have sickness at home was pres ent and enjoyed the happy Christ mas eve. Only one criticism could possibly be offered and that was re garding the few Christmas gifts which were distributed at the tree. While grown-ups understand, the small folks cannot see why there is not a gift for everyone. Let us have the treats for all but give our gifts elsewhere than at the tree and above all let us make this commun ity Christmas an annual event, at least until we assume the propor tions of a city.

We don't mean that you should go out with a hot water bot tle for Bessy but it would be a good idea to fix up the barn for really cold weather. Just a Review of 1929. The following review is printed in this pa per exclusively. Only important events are mentioned, the Zeppe lin flight and election of Hoover are not worth while. Jan. 13. The last New Years Resolution went broke. March 33. Was real ly the second of April. April. Fishing sea son opened. July 4. 4th of July. Nov. 3. The Editor's Xmas cigarette lighter finally worked. Dec. 14. Congress passed a bill. Con gratulations sent by President. (Not so good, but it took up a little space.) Sears & Roebuck are using the thirteen -month year in their business, and it is freely predicted that everyone will be using the idea soon. That will mean more pay days a year, shorter months but more of them. It also means the rent will come due more often, and it won't be so long be tween the monthly bills: So in the long run it won't matter much. TAL And a chicken earns its board by just lay ing around.
