PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1930. HEALTH PROJECTS F DLLOWED Fill y Each Room Will Receive Picture for Showing Made in Event. PUPILS PLAY GAMES Heppner Grade School Observes Child Health Program With Parents Present From the tiniest tot of the first grade to the biggest boy of the eighth, Heppner grade school pupils observed with the utmost interest. Child Health day, Friday. Health was the keynote in every subject and project of the day. Even the subject of arithmetic, not generally considered as having any connec tion with health, was given a part in showing the benefits of good health. It was planned to give framed pictures to the three grades giving the best programs and projects, but carrying out of the work was so uniformly excellent that it was de cided to give each of the competing rooms a picture. The reading class of the first grade had as its lesson for the day topics on health. On the black boards the "ABC's" of health could be seen. The children had cut-out pictures relating to health from magazines, mounted them and had written on the mounts the healthful significance of the pictures. Even the sand table was brought into play to illustrate principles of health, showing that "The Three Bears" lived up to health rules. Similar Work Displayed. The class work of the second and higher grades was along similar lines. Parents, after hearing the first grade program, progressed to the second grade. The girls of the grade entertained with a doll's health song. The class, acting in the roles of Mother Goose charac ters, told of the many things lead ing to good health. The earlier part of the afternoon was devoted to programs and health projects, while later in the day the children took part in the physical side of health, playing games and staging folk dances. An obstacle relay race with the third and fourth grades on oppos ing teams, provided plenty of thrills for parents and children on the sidelines. Midway on the course two barrels were placed and .a hor izontal bar at the end. On the going trip the boys hurdled the bar rels, reaching the bar they made a turn on it, going over and under. The boys crawled through the bar- rels while racing back to the place of beginning, which when reached, started the next boy on his way in the race. The event was won by the fourth grade. Children Dance. Children of the first and second grades entertained with folk and square dances in the high school auditorium under the direction of Mrs. Adelyn O'Shea. The girls from the fifth and eighth grades vied against the sixth and seventh grades in playground baseball, with the victory going to the fifth-eighth team by a score of 21-16. The boys of the upper grades also staged a playground baseball game, the fifth-eighth grade team wrest ing a victory from the sixth-seventh grade aggregation in a closely con tested fray, 10-8. The home economics department of the high school displayed gar ments made in sewing and the class in domestic science was seen carry ing out various projects. Punch and cookies of the students' own making were served the visitors. Smith Team Victorious In Crow-Magpie Battle The army headed by Charles W. Smith in the drive against crows, magpies and other pest birds had defeated C. L. Sweek's team 1420 to 918, when a count of heads and eggs was made following the close of the contest at 9 o'clock Sunday night The contest had opened on the morning of the previous Sunday, thus being waged over a period of eight days. The fray was a spirited one. with the outcome in doubt un til the final count It was entered with a spirit of good fellowship, and was much enjoyed despite the fact that many were stiff and sore after being out on the hunt, for the rea son of having used little-used mus cles in climbing to destroy nests and eggs. Much of the soreness was charged to bruises and scrat ches received while climbing trees and thorn bushes. The Smith team will be entertain ed at a dinner by the losing team sometime in the near future. It is expected to have a speaker from the state game commission to give a talk at that time. "HIGHWAYS OF THE HEART." The topic above will be discussed at lone on Sunday evening when the local Church of Christ goes a journeying to that place. The hour of service there will be 8 o'clock. Remember the contest and be on time for Sunday school. Stay for the Lord's Supper and it will count another 10 points for there will be no morning sermon as the pastor will be at Lexington to preach the baccalaureate. Halfway has the jump on us, now let us get going! MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. CLEAN-UP ANNOUNCED. The Odd Fellows lodge of Hard man announces that a clean-up will be staged at the Hardman ceme tery Memorial day, May 30. All in terested persons are asked to join in the work. ENDURANCE MARK SET BY TRACTOR Oregon State College Operates Machine Continuously for 30 Days to Get Data. The longest continuous non-stop tractor run in history has been end ed at Oregon State college where a light type caterpillar machine was operated by the agricultural engin eering department for 480 hours day and night without once stopping the engine. The run was made under actual farm conditions as a means of gath ering exact data on wear, operation cost reliability and other factors connected with modern power farm ing. The feat attracted nationwide at tention as it broke all previous world's records. When the engine was finally stopped it was run on the campus at Corvallis where an ox team and covered wagon brought for the occasion provided contrast between the old and the new. Senator Charles L. McNary called President W. J. Kerr of the col lege by long distance telephone con gratulating the institution on the demonstration and the president in turn passed the word to Governor A. W. Norblad who stopped the en gine, still purring smoothly after making close to 40 million revolu tions. Immediately on conclusion of the run the tractor was torn down and engineers began checking on every part, especially the wear on the tracks. MANY PAYING TAXES. C. J. D. Bauman, sheriff, and his assistants were kept busy receiving funds for tax payments Monday. The occasion for the rush of tax payers was that it was the last day for paying, without penalty, taxes for the first half of the 1929 tax year. NOTICE.
