TOWN ORGANIZES FOR FIRE FIGHTING Business Finns Cooperate With Forest Service; 3. W. Hiatt to Lead; Purpose Told. Cooperation of Heppner business houses brought to a successful cul mination the organization nf nn emergency forest fire-fighting force ai me omce or b wehmeyer, dis trict ranger, Saturday afternoon. J. G. Clouston. from the TI S Trnroat office at Pendleton, was present to assist in tne organization. J. W. Hiatt was chosen as leader for. the 15-man force which will hold itself in readiness to answer an emergency call within half an hour's time. L. L. Gilliam was named cook and Francis Dnhertv timekeeper. All necessary equip ment asiae irom clothing and bed ding will be supplied bv the forest service. Firms which have so far coopet ated with the organization by pro viding a man from their regular force to act with the crew include Ferguson Motor Co., Hiatt & Dix, Gilliam & Bisbee, Peo ples Hardware Co., Heppner Farm ers Elevator Co., Thomson Bros., M. D. Clark. Pacific Power J.ioht Co., First National bank, Heppner ijrazette Times, Latourell Auto Co., Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co., Case Fur niture Co., Humphreys Drug Co. Mr. Wehmeyer has directed a let ter of appreciation to each cooper ating firm in which he sets out something of the purpose of the or ganization. In it he says: "On government and private hold ings, within a fifty mile radius to our south, we have several billion feet of merchantable timber. The values should increase with the passing of years and its protection should be of real interest to all of us, if for no other than mercenary reasons. In addition we have a nat ural recreational play ground at mile high elevations, where camp ing, hunting, summer homes, will prove to be a comfort and delight to this and many succeeding gener ations. "Next to farming and water pow er, forestry is Oregon's greatest fu ture. If we can keep those portions of our land, not suitable for other purposes, in growing timber, the forests will continue to pay a fifth or more of our payrolls in countless future years. "May I suggest that you stress the matter of preparedness with the man you have selected, that there may be no delay in the promptness with which this organization may be called into the field, should the need or emergency arise. "Each man should have a pair of well broken heavy shoqs, a pair of medium or heavy weight wool socks, a wool shirt, an overcoat or jacket and two blankets rolled up in a piece of canvas and kept some where handy. Ninety per cent of the success of our work will hinge on quick action. All fires are small at their inception and increase in growth at an alarming ratio with each hour's delay, according to weather and atmospheric condi tions". EVENING SCHOOL TO DRAW PUBLIC Local Educational Plant to be in Full Swing Night of May 8 for View of AU Interested. How are the young people who at tend the Heppner schools educated? Many people who have not had an opportunity ot visit the schools in the daytime are no doubt Interest ed in this question. Parents espec ially should be interested, believes W. R. Poulson, superintendent, who has announced that Friday evening, May 8, school will be conducted in every detail just as it is regularly in thi daytime. At this time the pub lic is especially invited to visit the schools and see the educational plant In progress. Rapid strides in the advancement of educational methods have been made since the days of the little red schoolhouse in which grand mothers and granddads of the com munity received their common school education. And young moth ers and dads may also be surprised to see the changes that have taken place since their school days. Both the local ?rnrie anH hicrh aptinnig have kept pace with educational ad vancement tne country over, being highly accredited. The high school Is counted among the better high schools of the state In having been admitted to the Northwest Associa tion of Accredited High Schools, graduates of which are admitted1 to colleges and universities any place in the northwest, and other leading institutions of higher education in other parts of the United States, with full freshman standing with out being required to take entrance examinations. With education in the state claim ing a very large portion of the tax dollar, taxpayers should be espec ially Interested at this time In see ing whether full value is being re ceived. Mr. Poulson believes a large number of people will be interested In taking advantage of this oppor tunity to see the school plant at work. He not only invites but urges everyone to do so.

Where Teams Flay Next! Condon at Heppner, lone at Arling ton. Rufus-Blalock at Fossil. Sixteen members of Heppner's baseball squad saw action in the game at Rufus Sunday, in which Rufus-Blalock was taken into camp 22-12. The game was played beside the Columbia River highway on a topsy-turvy ball diamond which made fielding uncertain, and drew among other interested spectators a stage load of people who were entertained for about ten minutes. At this time Heppner had just loaded the basse in the sixth inning and Cason's bunt, the first of the game, unloaded them when the sur prised Columbia river boys threw the ball away in the attempt to head off runners. R-B Fitcher Removed. Heppner took a four-run lead in the first inning when they knocked McKays off the mound, and lanky Mr. Chase was introduced before any outs could be secured. Chase whiffed three batsmen in succession to stop this rally, but was himself treated to a volley of 15 hits before the game was over. Even at that the Heppner boys might have been held down considerably had it not been for some 15 errors his team mates piled up behind him. The home boys gave better sup port to Wilcox and Robertson, the two pitchers for the day. Only four errors were counted against them. Ground balls were the order and Shuirman at second base took the fielding record with five assists. Harold Gentry, shortstop, made three. Bob Correll, catcher, took hitting honors with five clean blows out of six times at bat. He also was high scorer with six runs, being walked once to first Ladies' Day Sunday. Next Sunday will be ladies' day at Rodeo field when Condon comes here to play, all ladies to be admit ted free. The usual charge of 50 cents for men and 25 cents for boys will be made. The clash Sunday is expected to be a hot one with Con don striving hard to retain her place at the top of the percentage column and the Heppner boys fight ing just as hard to bring her down to their level.

For particulars write to Mrs. David A. Broughel, 220 New ell St., Walla Walla, Wash., It H00SG0W THEME USED BY JUNIORS Annual Banquet for Senior Class Staged In Prison Surroundings, Rock Pile and Everything. Seniors, juniors and faculty mem bers of Heppner High school were in the hoosgow for a couple of hours Saturday evening. Not a real jail, to be sure; but a cleverly work- ed-out prison motif was used by the juniors in the annual farewell ban quet to the departing seniors in the basement of the Christian church. Plans of the affair were kept sec ret to the very last minute and great was the surprise of the guests when the outer doors were thrown open and they found themselves staring at the gates of a cold, gray prison with several inmates behind the bars. The convicts or wait resses, as they turned out to be slowly opened the gate and the guests passed into a large prison room. The walls were hung with gray building paper on which were painted rocks of all descriptions. There were also many evidences left on the walls of past inmates. In the center of the room was a huge rock pile and its accompany ing mauls and hammers. The table decorations carried out the blue and gold colors of the se niors and also the green and white of the juniors. Small pennants with the class numerals were in front of each place and larger ones appeared in the flower baskets. The menus were worked out on the scheme of a conviction record, each bearing a picture of the con vict, his cell number, description and prison record. The program was printed on several keys fas tened on a ring. John Franzen, president of the junior class, was a very excellent toastmaster. Miss Grace Nixon, the senior warden, presented their conviction record which was very cleverly done. The funniest thing on the program was the stunt put on by the sophomore girls, dressed in prison garb, who served the banquet. These were Nancy Jane Cox, June Anderson, Phyllis Pollock, Viola Brown, Hazel Beymer and Margaret Brosnan who was a very efficient head waitress. Their stunt was a mock court in which several members of the class and faculty were summoned to court and such charges as one-armed driving, and no fishing license were preferred. Everyone went home glad to be freed from the prison sentence but not sorry they had been in jail for a few hours. Class and faculty members pres ent included: seniors, Earl Thom son, Francis White, Mary White, Harold Gentry, Ella Fell, Alva Mc Duffee, Alice Cason, LaVelle White, Joe Swindig, Theresa Breslin, Wini fred Thomson, Patricia Monahan, Jeanette Turner, Vivian Lieuallen, Gay Anderson, Anne McNamee; ju niors, John Franzen, Billy Cox, Lu cille Moyer, Louise Moyer, Gene Mikesell, Ralph Benton, Mary Thomson, Eddie Kenny, Virginia Cleveland, Viola Ruby, Adele Nick erson, Vallis Jones, Claude Hill, Lu cille Beymer, Evelyn Schultz, Mary McDuffee, Mary Gemmell, Theodore Thomson, Florence French, Lucille Hall, Ruth Turner, Ireta Taylor, Lo la Hiatt; faculty, W. R. Poulson and Mrs. Poulson, Paul Menegat, Miss Charlotte Woods, Neil Shuir man, Miss Bernita Fay Lamson, Ted Lumley and Mrs. Lumley, Miss Grace Nixon and Miss Jessie Pal miter. Miss Palmiter, home economics instructor, supervised plans for the banquet Bruce Gibb, senior class president, was unable to be present due to illness.

CHILD HEALTH DAY BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Whereas, the Congress by joint resolution has authorized and re quested the President of the Uni ted States of America to proclaim annually that May Day is Child Health Day; and, Whereas, the resposibility for the well-being of .children is a community responsibility as well as an individual duty; now, Therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, President of the United States of America, do call upon all Govern ors of the States of the Union, and all Governors of territories and possessions of the United States to declare to their people that May Day should be used wherever posible as Child Health Day, for the consideration of all public and private measures by which the health of our children may be conserved and advanced. I especially commend for consid eration on that day "The Chil dren's Charter" as set forth by the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. HERBERT HOOVER. Governor Meier's Message To the People of Oregon: The annual, national wide observ ance of May first as Child Health Day and the week thereafter as Child Health Week, shows a grow ing appreciation of the importance of sound physical endowment and proper opportunities for nurture and development Good health is not merely a mat ter of individual concern; it is a matter'of public importance. It re quires community of purpose and united effort This year the White House Con ference on Child Health and Pro tection has added an incentive and a program for the conservation of the nation's human resources by re newing interest in childhood and youth. It has brought up to a full er realization of the fact that the foundation for a better future gen eration must be laid during the im pressionable years of thildhood. I hope that the people of Oregon will cooperate in an observance of Child Health Day and Child Health Week which will bring the objec tives of the White House Confer ence into Oregon and that we may, during this week, make an invest ment of interest in child health which will bring rich returns throughout the year and for the future.

SMALL CAR SUMMERSAULTS. While on his way up Willow creek to the artesian well Monday fore noon, W. E. Pruyn, city watermas- ter, met with an exciting experience, and marvels that he got out of It with no bones broken and able to tell how it all happened. Going along at a moderate pace, Mr. Pruyn noticed a piece of 2x4 lying In the road which he thought to pass over without striking, but in stead hit It just right to upend it and the result was the complete turning over of the machine and top side up again in the ditch. The turning over process did not remove Mr. Pruyn from the scat and steer ing wheel, and he came right side up with the truck, which received some damage to the cab and a bro ken windshield. After taking stock Mr. Pruyn found ho was not seri ously Injured, so he started the ma chine and went on to his destina tion, finishing the Job he had start ed. A slight cut on the cheek un der the left eye and a wrenched right knee were the sum total of Mr. Pruyn's injuries.

Lions and Others to Raid Pests; Losers to Treat Winners at Close. ROAD WORK ASKED Delegates In Portland Today to Meet With State Commission; Scoutmaster Named. The annual Lions club crow-magpie contest is slated to commence Sunday with enlistment of the en tire club membership and as many others as have signified their inten tion of participating, Chas. H. Lat ourell. chairman of this year's cam paign, told Lions Monday. That the campaign may be even more suc cessful in its purpose this year than last, the various granges of the county and the Alpine Farm Bu reau are being asked to cooperate in waging war on the predatory bird pests. The contest will last for four weeks, and at the close the losing side will entertain the win ning side. Mr. Latourell and Dr. A. D. McMurdo are the team cap tains. In connection with the crow-magpie drive, B. R. Patterson chairman of the club's committee, announced that many birds' heads and eggs are being brought in by farm boys, who are being paid five cents apiece for the heads and a cent each for the eggs. Mr. Patterson was in structed to go ahead with the old time fiddlers' contest, which it is ex pected will be staged In Heppner in the near future. Work on Rock Creek. G. A. Bleakman, county commis sioner, urged the club to send rep resentatives to the state highway commission meeting in Portland to day, for the purpose of looking af ter the interests of the Heppner Spray road. Assistance on the Rock creek portion of the road will be asked by the delegation headed by Al Rankin, good roads committee chairman. John Hiatt has accepted the scoutmastership of the local Boy Scouts, announced W. R. Poulson, Lions committee chairman, who urged that Mr. Hiatt be given every possbile support by the Lions and other organizations of the town. It was expected that a meeting of the Boy Scout executive council would be held this week when details for the thorough reorganization of the scouts would be gone into. Some financial assistance for the work will probably be asked, Mr. Poulson said, but it is not expected that a great amount will be necessary this year, as the local troop will not be required to pay their allotment to the Blue Mountain council, district organization of scouts.
