Supervisor Selects Census Enumerators Most of the 1930 census enumera tors for Morrow county have been selected by A. C. Mclntyre, district supervisor, who has his headquar ters In Pendleton.

Mrs. Ray Oviatt has received the appointment to take the census in north and south Heppner voting precincts. George McDuffee will handle the work at Boardman and Irrigon. Mrs. Bertha C.

WOOL MART DATA GIVEN TO GROWER Cooperative Delegate Tells Features Embodied in Plan Of Federal Farm Board. of Methods of marketing of wool through cooperatives sponsored by the Federal Farm board, and the advantages of marketing through an organization such as the Pacific Cooperative Wool growers, which has been in successful operation as a cooperative for 10 years, were pointed out by Edgar L. Ludwick, assistant manager of the latter or ganization, which has its headquar ters and warehouses in Portland, at a meeting attended by more than 30 growers and men interested in the wool industry, at the American Legion hall in Heppner Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Ludwick stated that the na tional wool marketing plan was practically identical with that dev eloped by his association through ten years of operation in the Paci fic northwest. He declared that the costs to market through the Pacific cooperative to large growers would be no higher than the best possible late that could be made through a local organization. The costs are handled on a graduated scale based on the size of clip and service ren dered. Should a majority of the larger growers market through the use of a large regional, the sheep industry would be served to much better advantage. All wool of the same quality and grade will be pooled, irrespective of what local or regional that wool may reach the national organiza-, tion through. Pre-shearing advanc es of a dollar per head are being made. The growers are guaranteed an advance of 90 per cent of the value of the wool upon delivery. Should the pooled price be less than the advance given, the grower will not suffer for there will be no kick back. The loss will be covered by a stabilization corporation. The National Wool Marketing corporation has signed 60 million pounds of wool with prospects that the total amount for the year will reach 100 million. Leonard Funk of the Heppner Trading company has been appointed local represent ative of the Pacific Cooperative Wool growers, announcement being made of the appointment at the meeting. Motion Picture Shows Effect Liquor Traffic "The Transgressor," a motion pic ture which shows the effect of li quor traffic will be shown Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the Meth odist church as part of a new tem perance educational program being conducted throughout the nation. If will be shown under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon. This picture concerning prohibition is declared by Rev. R. E. Close, league superintendent, to be one of the latest and most Interesting films of its kind ever produced. The film is the life story of two men whose experiences are strange ly interwoven with their chummy boyhood days. The deadly effects of the legalized liquor traffic are clearly depicted. The saloon, pov erty, riches, comedy, tragedy, pro hibition, bootleggers, crooked offi cials, traitors and true American citizens all combine to hold the at tention as one follows the life stoy of these two men. Rev. Mr. Close will deliver an address in connec tion with the showing of the pic ture. No admission will be charged but an offering will be taken. An Invitation is extended all to see the picture. Children are welcomed but must be accompanied by and sit with their parents. BOOK WORMS MEET.

Tate Speaker; Public Nurse Work Explained By Miss Stallard. NOTSON IS DELEGATE Membership In State Chamber of Commerce Sponsored by Lions For Commercial Club. An inspirational address by O. F. Tate of Portland, secretary of the Oregon Retail Merchants associa tion, on "Community Building," fea tured the Monday luncheon of the Heppner Lions club. Miss Edith J. Stallard, county nurse made a short talk. The club voted to take out a membership in the Oregon State chamber of commerce in the name of the Heppner Commercial club, and to send S. E. Notson to Port land Thursday to attend a meeting of the state chamber. Community Building Explained. "Every community has its indiv idual problems to face, and these must be determined in order to put across a successful campaign of community building," declared Mr. Tate in his address. One of the main reasons for people going to outside points is to fulfill an innate craving present in everyone for re creation. This problem can be par tially solved by the providing of more recreational facilities at home. Highways can lead into, as well as out of a town, and It depends on the people of each particular com munity whether automobiles will stop or pass on through. Better and more convenient service in the stores, more attractive displays, and advertising were stressed by Mr. Tate as the most effective means of building the community. Any cam paign, he declared, to be effective must be constructive and not de structive. Everyone should strive to see that larger picture in which everything that, helps the community, help the state, and everything that helps the state, helps the country as a whole, and vice versa.: Community building is a common undertaking in which everyone in the commun ity must have a part, and for which everyone must stand his share of the expense. Mr. Tate met with the "Trade at Home" committee of the Lions club following the lunch eon, to assist in working out a program. Health Work Outlined. Miss Stallard thanked the Lions club for its part in establishing public health nursing in the county, at the same time asking continued cooperation to the end that the ser vice may be made of the utmost worth, looking to its permanent es tablishment She reviewed the four fold duties of a public health nurse: inspection of school children, home instruction in the care of sick pa tients, assistance in getting hospit alization for tubercular cases, and assistance in putting across "better health" programs. She declared the work in this county to have been founded on a firm foundation, and forsees its rapid progress. So far. nearly all Miss Stallard's time has been given over to inspection of school children in order to establish a complete record at the start. Mr. Notson reported a meeting of the state chamber of commerce to be held in Portland today. In a dis cussion as to Heppner's taking out a membership in the state organi zation, it was brought out that the Lions club was not entitled to mem bership, and the suggestion made that a "paper" commercial club be formed for the purpose. Mr. Tate declared that such a paper organ ization should not be considered as there is need for a live commercial club in Heppner, and that It would be a worthy project for the Lions club to sponsor the same. Case Plans Building Mortuary, Cost $8000 A modern mortuary, to be two stories in height will be built at an estimate cost of $8000 to $10,000 for M. L. Case above the foundation on his property opposite the Church of Christ. The structure will be of colonial type, with the exterior fin ish in stucco. The main floor of the mortuary will be devoted to a chapel, music family, slumber and preparation rooms. The second tloor will be used or living quarters. Use of the full basement will he for a sample room and heating plant. Detailed plans of the proposed structure have not yet been drawn Mr. and Mrs. Case returned to Heppner Friday night after visiting mortuaries in Salem, Albany, Mon mouth and other Willamette valley cities, which they inspected to learn the most desirable features to in corporate in the construction of their building. Installation of an elevator in the building is under consideration. KNIGHTS MEET TUESDAY. Doric lodge No. 20, Knights o Pythias, will meet next Tuesday evening at 8 o clock sharp.

Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, county school superintendent, and Miss Edith Stallard, county nurse, visited the Boardman school from Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning in connection with their official duties, finding the children to be in the best state of health of any school yet visited in the county and the pupils to be doing satisfactory scholastic work. Miss Stallard believes that the health conditions there have been a result of the great interest shown by the teachers, pupils and parents, during the last several years. A program of teaching health and health habits has been given in the school. A complete warm lunch is served each noon at a cost of 10 cents to the pupil, by the domestic science Instructor assisted by two high school girls, who are paid for their work. This venture has proved successful from both a health and financial standpoint. In the pri mary grades, milk is served each af ternoon to the pupils. Miss Stallard approves highly this practice, but recommended that it would be more beneficial if served in the morning. Teachers of the school have out- ined and followed their own course of study on character building. The Parent Teachers association has al so taken much interest in this study, reading and discussing one chapter from a book by an author- ty on the subject, at each meeting. A merit and demerit system of recording the conduct or deport ment standing of each pupil is be lieved to be bringing better schol astic attainments. A large chart on the wall shows each pupil's standing, merits and demerits be ing added depending on the pupil's conduct. That the system is having a good effect is shown by the fact that one of the poorest pupils last year, taking need or tne oispiay oi his standing before the entire shool, has become more determined this year and is now listed as one of the best students. Easter Dance Slated Saturday, April 19th Elaborate preparations are being made by the Heppner unit of the American Legion auxiliary for its annual Easter dance which this year will be staged Saturday, April 19.

Bauman, Mor row county sheriff, so that he might begin serving his sentence. DENTAL CONDITION GOOD. That the teeth of the children in the Heppner grade school are much above the average is the statement of Dr. C. W. Barr, who with Dr. J. H. McCrady made an inspection at the school Wednesday morning. A statement of the condition of each child's teeth is being sent to parents.
