PAGE FOUR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. BOARDMAN MKS. A. T. HEREIM, Correspondent A remark by the writer in a pre vious issue complimenting the work of Dr. Gray and Miss Stallard and adding the statement, "Boardman rarely sees any of the county offi cials with the exception of the al ways obliging county agent except around campaign time," was taken as a criticism by county superinten dent, Mrs. Lucy Rodgers. We regret the fact that the statement might imply that the county superinten dent's office was included among these, and our explanation lies in the fact that we somehow do not ordinarily think of this position as a political one (nor should it be). The work of Mrs. Rodgers is above re proach and with her pleasing per sonality she has made many friends here. The basis of the remark was the apparent grudging service given by previous county physicians; of the numerous errors in records, causing much delay and annoyance in connection with tax receipts and the Federal Land Bank; tax state ments sent to the original owner after a deal had been made and re corded of lots in town that at one time had a warehouse on them be ing taxed at the usual rate two or three years after the warehouse had been torn down and moved away, et cetera, ad infinitum. Boardman feels we should have a commission er from this end of the county to promote better understanding but we are so outnumbered it is impos sible. One reason ex-governor Pierce was so popular in this precinct was because he dropped in occasionally and became acquainted with folks and made us feel as though we were more than a mere dot on the map. Mrs. Rodgers has made several vis its to the local school and we are glad to say that there was no criti cism implied or intended there. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Macomber and children of Condon were down Sunday, visiting relatives. Clarence Berger and sons have moved back to their ranch on the West End. The boys, Glen and Richard, have been making their home at the Leslie Packard home during their father's absence. Mr. Berger is relief operator for the O. W. and is away much of the time. Mr. and Mrs. John Graves and baby and Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Grav es and baby were over Sunday from Lexington and visited at the Ward Graves home. Tom McEntire of Stanfield visited his brother, John McEntire and family, on the West End last week. W. H. Mefford has been home from the Valley for a short time. He is getting located on his ranch near Corvallis where the family will move as soon as school closes. Mrs. Ray Shane and Mrs. Robert Wilson visited relatives on Willow creek Thursday. T. E. Broyles made a business trip to Colfax, Wash., last week. He met his daughter, Ethel, at Pendle ton and she accompanied him. The small son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Skobo gave them a bad scare recently when he drank kerosene and almost strangled. Robert Hutton, Durant salesman, was a recent visitor at the Blayden and Gorham homes. He is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Louie Blayden of Vale. Boardman teachers attended in stitute Friday at lone. They report a very interesting program. Supt. L. E. Marschat spoke on "Character Education." A splendid exhibit of work from various schools of the county was a feature of the day. The whooping cough epidemic has practically subsided with no new cases reported. Several of the "whoopers" returned to school this week after three and four weeks' absence. Most of them attended school for a week or two before it was found they had whooping cough. The inoculation helped some but others seemed to have it just as severely. It no doubt prevented the further spread of the disease. Echo Coats, Margaret Myers, Hil ma Harju, Frances Skobo, Norman Hango, Catherine Mead and Janet Gorham have all had severe cases of it Mr. Wilbanks has done much work on his ranch, leveled several acres, planted trees and garden, and Is getting it into fine shape. Approximately 100 acres of mel ons has been signed up with the Irrigon association, for melons to be grown on the project. Melons are lots of work but produce very prolifically here and bring better returns per acre than most any other crop. Mrs J. M. Allen went to Portland on Saturday, returning Sunday. April 21 was Mrs. Robert Wlison's birthday. She was pleased to have Mrs. Mefford, Mrs. Root, Mrs. Al bert Macomber and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shane with her for a birthday dinner that day. The Western Union baseball nine again met defeat at the hands of a team of locals, with a 7-3 score. Mrs. D. W. Miller and Mrs. Mar tha Titus gave a fine party for Francis Titus on Saturday for his 11th birthday. Eleven boys attend- ed and all had a fine time playing games and partaking of a lovely lunch. Mrs. Miriam Campbell and Miss Genevieve Fenton of Portland were here Thursday, applying for post tlona in the local school. Robert Ncthercott had a bit of hard luck Saturday when he fell from a tree and broke one of the bones In his ankle. He was taken to Hermiston where he stayed for a day or so. Mrs. John Brlce came up this week with her brother, Mr. Ed munds of Ridgefleld, and visited friends. She will go to La Grande on Mothers Day to be with her daughter, Lillian. A special program will be given at the normal school honoring the mothers. Mrs. D. W. Mlllpr also nlting to CO. Mrs. Ray Brown arranged a de lightful surprise for her daughter, Katharine, on Saturday evening in honor of her birthday.

There were four ta bles of "500" with Miss Spike and Eldon Wilson receiving high hon ors and Mr. and Mrs. Marschat low. Attending were Mr. and Mrs. Mar schat, Mr. .and Mrs. Dillabough, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, Misses Henry, Spike, Gibbons, Johnson, Messrs. Buster Rands, Alvin McCarty, Wil son, R. Barlow, D. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Miss Lela Ware, a niece of Mrs. Wm. tSrobel. John Brice and Earl Cramer have a shearing plant and have been shearing at the Jenkin's place. M. Mulligans, Shanes, Farleys and Sle- vins sheep were sheared there. Home Economics club met last Wednesday with Mrs. Wm. Strobel. On Monday of last week the Fa- lers had a house full of company. A nephew and niece of Mr. Faler, Strawn Spence and Mrs. Grace Craw of Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shriever of Lexington, Mr. and Mrs. McNeil of Portland and Gordon McNeil of Portland all par took of a fine dinner. R. Wasmer was also present. Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe fo Portland have a baby boy who arrived Sun day, April 20. Mrs. Sharpe will be remembered as Nellie Messenger. The seniors took their Sneak Day Wednesday, motoring to Pendleton and Walla Walla. They were ac companied by Miss Spike. The trip was made in the Hango car. Seniors are few in number this year, only three, Willie Dillon, Linda Hango and Oljve Meffofd. Boardman has been without light for over a week, much to the dis comfiture of everyone. The gover nor broke on the engine and repairs had to be ordered from the factory. A number of ranchers met Satur day night at Root hall to discuss the question of establishing a coop erative feed store here. Since Board- man purchases approximately 50 tons of feed each month with a cost for transportation varying from 18 to 25 cents a hundred it has been felt for some time that by purchas ing in carload lots the business might be handled at Boardman in stead of the Farm Bureau at Her miston and transportation saved. Nels Kristensen, Paul M. Smith, I. Skoubo, Ed Souders and A. W. Por ter were elected directors. The rail road will lease land for the erection of a building, at $1 a year. The pos sibility of erecting a building of sheet iron, that of renting one of the Murchie buildings, that of rent ing the Phelps-Voyen building, have all been discussed but just what will be done rests with the direc tors. Boardman's experience with cooperatives has been sad, the cheese factory, the hay growers and more recently the turkey growers association, all carry a tale of lack of cooperation, and it is sincerely to be hoped that If this feed store becomes a reality that local farmers will patronize it, for there Is no question that cooperation must be come an assured fact before things will take a turn for the better on the project. Mrs. Raymond Shane who Is lead er of the Boys' Camp Cooking club took a group to the river Saturday where they were initiated Into the mysteries of baking bread over a camp fire. All had a fine time and are anticipating the next meeting when they will fish and if successful cook the fish. In case they have the usual fisherman's luck, they will have other "cats" with them. Roy World, one of the shearers In the Cramer crew, pretty badly burned his lip when he fell against the grinder Sunday. He was taken to Hermiston for medical aid. Spaglcs were guests at the Rands home Sunday for dinner, after at tending the ball game in the after noon. Mr. and Mrs. Truman Messenger are living In Pilot Rock where Mr. Messenger has a position with the Standard Oil company. Both the children are ill with whooping cough. Oscar Sloan, a sheep shearer, was brought before the city recorder, W. A. Price, April 25, on a charge of disorderly conduct and fined $10. Sloan and his friends had been im bibing too freely of Boardman's "moon" which seems to be easily accessible to those who desire it We wonder if things couldn't be cleaned up here. It is generally known where the source of supply is and it is often evident who uses it. As we understand it if a man carries the liquor within, he's safe. He must carry it on his hip or in the car. Well, there are several of those. Let's try and have a clean project a gentle suggestion that the manufacturers cease their illicit business or move to more desirable pastures. Is it impossible? Mrs. Marschat's pupils are greatly interested in the six baby rabbits that came to Molly and Peter Rab bit. "TjTMs Or M 1 1 (flg bu Vancu art raw potatoes cooked like French fried. You can fry boiled potatoes in thin slices with a little onion, and thus make a sort of Lyonnaise potato. The point is, if the old potatoes are not now very good and the new potatoes are still expensive, to cook the old ones in a way to bring out their best points and minimize the worst ones. HOME POINTERS (School of Home Economics, O. S. C.) Time can often be saved when a cake is to be made by taking the shortening out of the refrigerator several hours before time to use it It will be easier both to measure and to cream. In a recipe which calls for only one or two eggs, the eggs serve largely to bind the ingredients, and it makes little difference whether the whites and yolks are separated or not. In a gas or electric range cakes are often placed too high up in the oven, thus causing acrust to form. This prevents the interior from ex panding to the fullest extent and re sults in a cracked, uneven top. In a wood range, too, it is usually best to place the cake on the bottom of the oven, at least"for the first of the baking. The wise hostess chooses a menu which she can serve to the best ad vantage with the equipment she has available. There are many ways of adding just a slight touch of color to the food to make it more attractive. Among the materials which can be used for this purpose are pimiento, green peppers, paprika, pickles, ol ives, radishes, cherries, candied fruit, and candied fruit peel. A very pleasing fruit cocktail is made by using sections of grape fruit and a mint syrup which has been colored green I When Guests Come EE If you want to please friends who U pay you a visit on one of these j U warm clays, don't make the mistake EE EE of serving coffee or tea.

J Morrow County Creamery Company heat the diced or sliced potatoes in the sauce. Another is to dice the potatoes, roll them in flour and then heat in a double boiler in milk to cover them. The flour thickens the milk. Both- sorts should be well seasoned. Creamed Potatoes Creamed potatose may then be poured into a buttered, shallow dish and browned a few moments in the oven, or carefully, in the broiler. Or they may be poured in to dish and sprinkled with buttered bread crumbs and grated cheese and then baked until they are brown. Minced parsley may also be sprinkled over creamed potatoes to add to their taste and appearance. Various sorts of fried potatoes are tempting at this time of year. You can French fry raw potatoes, or pan fry boiled potatoes. You can make latticed potatoes or Ger man shoe strings that is, finely cut Potatoes At this time of year, when new potatoes are not yet a matter of course and old potatoes are perhaps at their poorest, the clever cook sees to it that there is much potato variety. Whereas in a few weeks plain boiled potatoes, dressed with butter and parsley, will be served perhaps every day, and whereas mashed potatoes three months ago may have been an almost daily oc currence, this is the season for po tato variety. Scalloped Potatoes Scalloped potatoes are one of the best ways of serving them. There are two good ways to scallop pota toes. One is to slice them raw and put them In a buttered baking dish with a little flour sprinkled between the layers. Then season them with salt and pepper and butter, and cover them with milk. Cook them rather slowly for an hour in the oven or until the potatoes are done. The other way of scalloping them Is to boil them and let them cool, then chop them or cut them Into small dice, put them in a buttered dish, cover with milk, season well and bake slowly until they are rich and creamy and brown on top. Creamed potatoes are also good made of old ones. Again there are seeral ways of cooking them. One Is to make a good cream sauce and Making Good... Govtmtr A. W. NORBLAD Keep him on the job!
