PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1930 'ffeTODAWt' FRANK PARKER 5TOCKBR1PCE EDISON Think for a minute of what one man, still active in his 84th year, has done to change the world in a single lifetime. He made the tele phone a practical instrument He invented the incandescent light He invented the phonograph. He in vented the motion picture. Imag ine a world without those inven tions. It is impossible, except to those whose memories, like my own, go back to the time when Edison was known only as the inventor of the multi-plex telegraph. Now he has found a way to get rubber out of goldenrod, not as a commercial product but as a war reserve resource. And he is still working. "A man can't die so long as he keeps busy," he told me once. MUSIC Good music is increasing in pop ularity, but there are more musi cians out of work than ever before. We are getting our music more and more by mechanical methods of re production. First the phonograph, then the radio, now the sound motion pic tures, have brought the very best music, played and sung by the high est grade of musical talent, within the reach of everybody. The larg est piano company in America went into bankruptcy recently. Pianos are still sold, and always will be. There will always be youngsters with talent coming along to produce the good music of tomorrow. And there are more "freak" instruments being sold than ver saxophones, ukeleles and the like. There are probably more first-class singers of American birth and training, ap pearing in public now than ever be fore. But the second-rate and hope lessly third-rate musicians no long er command audiences. The Ameri can people have developed a higher taste in music. CHURCHES "I could empty every country church and half the city churches on Sunday mornings by broadcast ing better sermons and services than all but a few great churches offer," the head of one of the great broadcasting chains said to me the other day. The time is coming when small town churches will install radio sets and get their music and their ser mons out of the air. They will need no local preacher, but instead will become centers for community work in the name of God, making it their charge to protect the moral and physical health of their com munities, to inspire the amusements and elevate the educational stand ards of their young folk. RUBBER Rubber gets its name because its first use was to rub out pencil marks. The Spanish conquistadores found Mexican and Brazilian chil dren playing with balls of this pe culiar gum, but it was three hun dred years before it became a com mercial product Mackintosh, the Scotchman, used it first to water proof cloth; Goodyear, the Ameri can, found how to take the sticki ness out while retaining the elasticity. A very small amount of commer cial rubber is grown in the United States, in California and Arizona, where it is produced from the guayule shrub. Most of it comes from the East Indies and South America. Harvey Firestone is planting a million acres to rubber trees in Liberia, Africa. Unskilled cheap labor is necessary to keep the price of rubber down. A difference of 50 cents a pound in the price of crude rubber may mean a difference of $10 in the price of automobile tires. The next step will be the discov ery of a method of reclaiming old rubber and using it again. LAWS It ought to be apparent by this time that the effort to make people good by passing laws is a failure. The other day a judge in New York sentenced a young woman to prison for life. He had no option; it was her fourth conviction for larceny and under the Baumes law a fourth offender must be locked up until he or she dies. That isn't going to do this girl or society any good. The time when something could have been done about her case was when she was a child. She grew up with out education, without moral sense, without any feeling of responsibil ity. The only reason we put people in prison or execute them is because we are afraid of them. Our prison population has doubled in twenty years. As we grow more prosper ous we become more afraid of the unprosperous. It might be a good plan to spend as much money trying to keep people out of prison as we spend now to keep them in it CLVB FLAYS BRIDGE. Members of the Eastern Star So cial club met Saturday afternoon at the Masonic temple to take part in a bridge party at which Miss Mary Patterson and Mrs. W. R. Poulson were hostesses. Six tables were in play with honors going to Mrs. C. W. McNamer and Mrs. Charles Vaughn. The St Patrick's motif was carried out in the party. Re freshments of cottage cheese, rib bon cheese sandwiches, green fruit gelatin salad, in shamrock design, and coffee were served by the hos tesses. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McCarty were in Heppner from The Dalles Sunday visiting friends and relatives. Tmfe for M dDM 6v ancv hart Cottage Pie Cut cold mutton into inch dice and place in baking dish. Cover with hot gravy. A thinly sliced onion may be added if liked. Boil, mash and season one quart of pota toes and heap on the pudding dish. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are browned. To Frost the Cake The making of a cake is in the frosting. That is, a good cake may be ruined by poor frosting and a mediocre cake may be much im proved by good frosting. Marsh mallow frosting is delicious. This is the way to make it: Heat in a double boiler one-fourth a pound of marshmallows cut up into small pieces. When very soft add two tablespoons of boiling wa ter, cover, and let cook, until smooth. Meantime, heat six tablespoons of sugar in two tablespoons of milk over the fire; stir until sugar is Found Two keys on string. Ow ner call Gazette Times. 1.

St. Patrick cleaned up the Emerald Isle and gave us a day to either wear green or look natural. "Agnes, you don't love me, and since you'll never love me, there's only one thing I can do. I'll kill my self," said the young man passionately. "How?" she inquir ed. "I'll shoot myself." "Then won't you be so kind as to buy the revolver in James' hardware store. James is my fiance, and I would like to help him whenever possible." This is also our idea, buy at home whenever possible. R. W.
