Prepare Three Act Play Full
of Intrigue and Comedy.
The play, "Tea Toper Tavern,"
will be presented by the Young Peo-
ples Fellowship of the Episcopal
church in the high school auditor
ium, Wednesday, February 11, at
8:00 o'clock. -The story of the play
progresses as follows:
Three college graduates, Dixie,
Rosamond and Ann, Inspired with
the determination to aid their col

open a tea room for the summer.
Through the efforts of Brian Pier
pont, an admirer of Rosamond, they
secure a charming old home, prop
erty of Dallas Thome, a wealthy
young fellow who has been in the
public notice oru account of his en
gagement to Gloria Sherwood,
beauty and belle, who, on the very
eve of the weddink, eloped with a
wealthier suitor. At the time the
plays opens, he is supposedly trav
eling abroad; and Gloria is once
more in evidence, now as a charm
ing young widow.
Dallas Thome, regretting his as
sent to the plan of renting his home,
suddenly returns from Europe, and,
anxious to see the old place, appears
upon the scene. Dixie, wno is await
ing a prospective "hired man," mis
takes Thome for the applicant; and,
yielding to the temptation of such
an adventure, he accepts the posi
tion, pleading as an excuse for his
aparent unsuitability for such men
ial labor, the need of outdoor exer
cise. No sooner has he become a
member of the household quite in
cognito when the sudden illness of
a maid, a protege of Ann, who dab
bles In social service, is diagnosed
as smallpox, and the house is placed
under quarantine. At the time of
the ban, an old friend of Miss Day
Rosamond s aunt who is chaperone;
is calling, and Gloria herself, on the
way to a nearby hotel, is resting
while a punctured automobile tire
is being repaired. These two are
not allowed to depart, and compli
cations follow.
Startling discoveries, a costume
ball, love, a fire, 'rescue, but it fin
ally all comes out all right and ev
erybody lives happily ever after. A
clever and very entertaining play.

Many Fires in 1930, But
Cost Under Other Years
By F. F. WEHMEYER, District Ranger.
A summary of the 1930 Are sea
son Indicates it was the worst sea
son ever experienced in the nation
al forests of Washington and Ore
gon as to the number of fires. There
were 1989 nres of which 1248 were
caused by lightning.
The Umatilla forest led all the
rest In numbers, having 151 fires, 98
of which were lightning and 53
through human carelessness. Thir
ty fires were caused by smokers.
The fires divided as to class show
107 under one-quarter acre In size,
41 as over one-quarter acre but un
der ten acres and only 3 in excess
of ten acres. Fifty-six acres of na
tional forest land were burned over
and fifteen, of private land inside
of the forest boundary. Total cost
of suppression was $8,239.
The Heppner district had the larg
est number of any ranger district
within the forest. We had one fire
over ten acres, which burned nine
acres Inside the forest but on pri
vate land and seventeen acres out
side the forest. There were 14 fires
over one-quarter acre in size but
less than ten acres and 22 nres less
than one-quarter acre. In addition
we cooperated on eight fires outside
the forest boundaries.
The low costs and small area rec
ord for the forest could not have
been acomplished except for the
hearty support of an Interested pub
lic. We had many outstanding cases
of individual cooperation. Folks
are becoming more careful. Many
now "reach for a sweet Instead of
a Lucky" when In the woods. A
few years ago the percentage of
man-caused fires was seven to eight
In every ten. Last year it was only
a iractioni over three with probably
ten times as many people going Into
the national forests as used them in
years gone by.
Its a mighty good record and one
we are hanging up as a mark to
shoot at. I believe with the contln
ued cooperation of the public we
can beat It

CITY VOTES HELP
RED CROSS DRIVE
$100 Donation Favored; Proposal to
Take Over Cemetery Made by
Lions Committee Head.
The city of Heppner through the
council sitting in regulra session
Monday evening committed itself
favorable to contributing to the
emergency Red Cross drouth relief
drive to the extent of $100. This
action was taken on proposal of the
drive committee headed by Frank
Gilliam that the quickest way to
raise the county's quota of $400 was
by the cities of Heppner, lone and
Lexington and Morrow county con
tributing the greater share. Their
opinion was that the amount to be
raised hardly justifled'the time and
expense that would be required to
raise it through popular subscrip
tion. The council was also presented
for its consideration, a proposal that
it take over supervision of the city
cemetery, heretofore known as Ma
sonic cemetery, and that steps be
made to hold a special clean-up day
just before Memorial Day at which
time all interested persons would
unite in cleaning up the grounds,
The proposal was made by M. L,
Case as chairman of the Lion's cem
etery committee.
Discussion was also had at the
meeting of legislative proposals
made by the League of Oregon Cit
ies, though no action was taken,
Other business included payment of
current expense bills.
POULSON CAR DAMAGED.
Mrs. W. R. Poulson, driver, Mrs.
Harold Cohn and Mrs. Chas. Smith
were the victims of an automobile
accident Monday evening when
rear tire on the Poulson car blew
out and caused the car to go Into
the ditch near Rhea Siding. They
escaped with bruises, except for a
slight cut in the scalp received by
Mrs. Cohn. Much of the glass in
the sedan was broken and running
board and fenders on the left side
of the car were damaged. A call was
sent to Heppner for a wrecker and
the car was towed in that evening,
the ladies going on to Arlington,
their destination, to take to a part
of the district American Legion
festivities.
OPENING NEW STORK
David A. Wilson and John Farley
left Tuesday morning for John Day
where they are opening a men's
clothing store to be operated by Mr,
Farley. Mr. Wilson, who conducts
a similar establishment under his
name in Heppner, decided to open
an additional store at John Day
after thorough investigation, believ
Ing the future to be bright for such
a venture In the Grant county city,
Mr. Farley has become well ac
quainted with the business through
several years connection with the
Heppner store and Mr. Wilson s giv
Ing him management of the new
store Is a recognition of his ability
and opens for him a wider field of
opportunity.

RED CROSS DRIVE
AS
Heppner, Lexington and
lone Contribute and
County Does Part.
With the contribution of $100 by
the city of Heppner and $25 each
from Lexington and lone, and $200
authorized by the county court, suc
cess of the $400 Red Cross drouth
relief drive in the county was as
sured yesterday. Contributions from
these sources totalled $350, with the
probability existing that the re
maining $50 would be made up by
one or several of the sources. In
any event, it was expected by S. E.
Notson, member of the special drive
committee, that the amount would
be readily forthcoming.
Action was taken by Heppner s
ity council Monday evening, and
immediate response was received
from the city governments of the
neighboring towns Tuesday when
visited by a local delegation. The
court's action was taken at its reg
ular session yesterday.
The plan of having the govern
mental bodies contribute was con
ceived by the special drive commit
tee, because it seemed the quickest
way, and also because the amount
to be raised hardly justified the ex
pense and time that would have
been required to put on a popular
subscription campaign.
SPECIAL CLEAN-UP

accumulations of junk, garbage,
ashes, etc., are expected to be
awaiting the city trucks at the

connection with the day be given
men needing the work. A phone
call to his office will receive
prompt response. .
No extra charge vi lli be made
property holders for hauling the
rubbish away.

both the Oregon Buttermakers' as

Both associations also went on
record as favoring legislation to
curb the unrestricted production
and sale of various vegetable oil
substitutes for butter. They also
recommended that dairymen them
selves set the example in using dairy
products.
The Oregon Buttermakers' asso
ciation, which held its largest con
vention of recent years at O. S. C,
last week, refused to either approve
or oppose the proposed Oregon

NURSE ACTIVITIES
MANY FOR MONTH
Divers Cases Have Attention; New
Nursing Committee to Assist
With Many Problems.
By EDITH STALLARD, County Nurse.
Several new cases have been han
dled this month of extreme interest.
No other month has had such prob
lems. Cases have consisted of tu
berculosis, cancer, orthopedic, men
tal, surgical, contagion and malnu
trition.
The tuberculosis case was taken
to The Dalles by order of the court
for a chest examination by the su
perintendent of the tuberculosis hos
pital. The result was a negative di
agnosis. The cancer case was taken
to Portland and placed under the
care of a specialist in that line with
hope of recovery. The orthopedic
case was sent from Irrigon to the
Shrine hospital for crippled child
ren. This case has been on the
waiting list since last July. The
surgery was done locally. Contag
ion is mumps, whooping cough, and
the winid-up of the scarlet fever.
The case of malnutrition is doing
nicely, gaining four pounds the first
two weeks of having a quart of milk
a day, furnished by the Morrow
County Public Health association.
Three invalid cushions are now in
use.
While in Portland on business the
noirse called at the office of the
state tuberculosis association and
borrowed several film strips to be
used in the work during the com
ing month.
We have been getting some val
uable help from the state labora
tory. Several specimens of water
have been analyzed with the result
that to have the family protected
from probable ill health the water
supply should be cleaned up. Some
farmers have become interested suf
ficiently to ask for containers to
send the specimens to the labora
tory. Anyone else may obtain these
containers by calling on or writing
the county nurse.
The mileage traveled but not en
tirely charged for this month has
been 1158 miles. Nine towns or
schools visited, 18 patients carried
on active file, 97 calls made and 220
hours on duty.
To better serve the community
there has been formed a nursing
committee in connection with the
Morrow County Public Health asso
ciation who will work with the
nurse. Ask them for help.

Out of these experiences and
burning passion to see men accept
Christ, came his decision to enter
the wider field of evangelism in
which he has had remarkable suc
cess. He is a strong, attractive

Local Chairman.

"Remember the Heppner Flood,"
is the slogan adopted by Frank Gil
liam, chairman of the local $400
Red Cross drouth relief drive, as
given to Heppner Lions Monday in
an appeal that Morrow County be
prompt in its response. Following
the disastrous Heppner flood to 1903,
$65,000 of relief money came from
outside and services of more than
200 outside people were employed to
relieve distress. Such assistance
should not be forgotten, Mr. Gilliam
declared. Heppner should be among
the first to respond to a call of dis
tress. Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, chairman of
the Morrow County Red Cross chap
ter, also reminded Lions that this
county had met its quota in every
Red Cross drive and that in war
time it had received signal recog
nition as being the first to go "over
the top." The reputation is one well
worth living up to, she said. The
drive committee, of which she nam
ed Mr. Gilliam chairman, has as
members, Chas. Thomson, W. W.
Smead, S. E. Notson, B. R. Patter
son, all of Heppner; Karl L. Beach
of Lexington, and Bert Mason of
lone. It was the sense of the com
mittee that the drive be organized
immediately aind put across with
dispatch.
"Give Till It Hurts."
S. E. Notson, drive committee
man, emphasized the general pub
lic had not yet failed to grasp the
magnitude of want for the necessi
ties of life really existing in the
drouth-stricken areas. The people
affected, themselves have been daz
ed by the situation and have hardly
awakened to the immensity of it
all. But the truth now being reveal
ed is that many thousands of peo
ple are at the absolute mercy of the
Red Cross, and it behooves every
one to give, and give till it hurts.
The local campaign, sanctioned
by Lions two weeks ago, was held
up for a time due to uncertainty of
congressional action, said C. L.
Sweek, Lions president In intro
ducing the subject Since the $25,-
000,000 relief measure failed to pass,
t became imperative that popular
assistance be given the Red Cross.
That failure of the governmental
appropriation bill was a good thing,
he quoted John Barton Payne, na
tional Red Cross head, as saying,
due to the fact that it was intended
for general relief purposes and
would have called for establishing
distributing agency throughout
the entire country which ini itself
would have cost more than the mon
ey appropriated and would not have
resulted in the prompt relief de
manded by conditions in the drouth
area. On call of President Sweek
the Lions club voted 100 percent to
support the drive.
Cemetery Aid Discussed.
The matter of getting water to
the cemetery was brought up for
discussion by M. L. Case, program
chairman for the day, who gave the
information after investigation that
in order to make city water avail
able there it would be necessary to
install a pumping system. The dis
cussion was participated In by sev
eral members and visitors, showing
a general interest and on motion,
President Sweek appointed M. L.
Case, Paul Marble, C. B. Cox and
J. O. Turner on a committee to
take up the matter with the Mason
ic Cemetery association and to re
port back their findings at a future
meeting.
Al Rankin reported attendace of
the Lions delegation at the Wallula
Cut-off association meeting in Wal
la Walla on the Wednesday pre
vious, stressing the Interest shown
in the route over a wide area by the
representation from 11 widely sep
arated towns, bringing out the fact
that completion of the Washington
end of the project this year is prac
tically assured, and that there is
probability that the Oregon end will
have attention also.
Says Lions Broad.
Frank Clark, wool buyer and part
owner of the Heppner Trading com
pany, was a visitor at the meeting.
He commended Lions on the
breadth of vision shown in their ac
tivities, especially in regard to the
Wallula Cut-off, a project he deem
ed of vital importance. He also
expressed sympathy with the Red
Cross drive, giving as his personal
conviction that this Is the best way
to relieve the distress now existing.
A further plea to Lions In behalf
of the "Eat More Lamb-Use More
Wool" campaign was given by Mrs.
W. P. Mahoney as president of the
women's auxiliary of tho Oregon
Wool Growers association. Mrs.
Mahoney called attention to the spe
cial campaign being waged through
out the month of February, saying
that Its culmination was ex'pected
to be reached in a more concerted
campaign during the final week.
"Make Saturday lamb day," she
said. "If you think you don't like
