INGENUITY SHOWN Pantomime, Radio Skits, Flay, Songs, Dances and Athletic Stunt Make Up Diversified Program. The Heppner Public library not only benefitted $85.30 from the Stunt Nlte performance last Thurs day presented at the school audi torlum, but, the large audience In attendance enjoyed one of the most pleasing entertainments of the sea son. The array of talent presented by various organizations of the city, gave a variety program replete with music, dancing and' acting of a high order. The $85.30 was the amount ' re ceived for admissions. In addition $2 was received from the Degree of Honor from the sale of popcorn balls, and $2 from Emit Grotkopp, Much credit for the success of the entertainment goes to the commit tee In charge, Paul Menegat, chair man, Mrs. P. W. Mahoney and Mrs. Harold Case, and to W, R. Poulson, property manager, who allowed no wasted time between acts. The curtain opened with two numbers by the Heppner school band under the direction of Harold Buhman. Attired ,in their white uniforms with red berets, the 28 piece band was attractive, and their offerings received hearty approval from the audience. Mi's. Earl Gordon and Miss Mir lam McDonald, for the Women's Study club, next presented a light comedy skit, in which Mrs. Gordon deceived many of her acquaint ances with her boy s clothes and mustache. Miss Betty Trevett represented the Eastern Star Social club, oblig ing -with two interpretative tap dances to the music played by her aunt, Mrs. Scott Brown, at the piano. Sir Lochinvar Is Farce. Of a different and unusual nature was the Bookworms' stunt, with which they put the audience In an uproar. It was a farce pantomime of one of the classics, Scott's Sir Lochinvar, In which members of the club acted out the poem, read by Mrs. Paul Gemmell. Costumed in the mode of the 14th century, Sir Lochinvar appeared astride his mighty steed before the castle of Sweet Ellen, just before his dash for the Holy Grail. His steed, like others lined up at the hitching rack, was a broomstick. The gallant knight was done by Mrs. Ted Lum ley, while the flower of his heart was Mrs. Harold Case. Mrs. Paul Menegat, Mrs. W. R. Poulson, Mrs. Spencer Crawford, Miss Marjorie Montgomery, Miss Beth Bleakman, Mrs. Lacy E. Rodgers and Miss Lu lu Hager completed the cast Two numbers by the octette of the American Legion Auxiliary, with Mrs. Walter Moore accom panying, were well received.

The offering of the Lions club was a balancing act by Harvey Bau man who did some difficult feats calling for much strength and a steady nerve. Included In his per formance was the balancing of four dining chairs piled on top of each other on his chin, and the balanc ing of a sharp knife on his chin., His last stunt was balancing his nephew, Peter Chrlstensen, seated at the end of a long pole, on his chin. A much appreciated addition to the program were two solos by Dan Lindsay of Alpine, In which he did credit to Harry Lauder In the sing ing of Scotch songs. He was ac companied by Mrs. Poulson. Radio Program Broadcast Barring some static, and a little local interference, the radio broad v cast offered by Neighbors of Wood craft came In quite clearly and was hilariously reoelved. Crockett Sprouls was station, director, and broadcasting from off-stage were Mr. and Mrs. Ted Lumley, Miss Doris Hiatt, J. O. Turner, Frank Turner, Crockett Sprouls and Laur el Beach. Seated about the radio on the stage were Claude Hill, Mrs. Elsie Cowins, Miss Jessie French and Mrs. Rose Howell. The pro gram consisted of popular music and jokes. Miss Charlotte Woods, soprano, and Laurel Beach, tenor, represent ed the Christian church, singing two classical numbers in duet. Their voices blended beautifully In the well chosen selections, which gave the audience one of the rarest treats of the evening. Mrs. Poul son was accompanist The Morrow County Woolgrow ers auxiliary was responsible for two pretty tap-dancing acts, pre sented by pupils of Mrs. Helen Cohn. Perfect unison and highly developed technique were shown by the two teams, composed of Miss Harriet Hager and Miss Dora Bail ey, and Miss Nancy Cox and Miss Anabel Turner.

P. Mahoney presided and Dr. C. W. Barr intro duced Dr. Hall. Accompanying Dr. Hall were Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the university, and Mrs. Barker; Mrs. F. W. Bond of Pendleton, pres ident of Oregon Mothers, and Mr. Bond; Mrs. Walter M. Cook, of Portland, honorary president of Oregon Mothers, and Mr. Cook; Al fred W. Powers, dean of the uni versity extension division, and Mrs. Paul Ager, secretary to the presi dent and executive secretary of Oregon Mothers, all of whom were introduced by Dr. Hall. A feature of the evening was the story by Mr. Barker of the "Pion eer Mother," a statue by A. Phimis- ter Proctor to be unveiled on the university campus next Mothers Day, a gift to the state from Mr. Barker. Entertainment numbers included vocal duets by Miss Charlotte Woods and Laurel Beach; two so los by Mr. Beach, readings by Mrs. Paul M. Gemmell and Mrs. Paul Menegat, piano duets by Mrs. Wil liam R. Poulson and Mrs. Jesse O. Turner, and song by the high school girls sextet, Phyllis Pollock, Nancy Cox, Annabel Case, Jessie French, Anabel Turner and Hazel Beymer. The dinner was prepared and serv ed by ladies of the Episcopal church. Foundation Helps Work. Dr. Hall touched briefly on the work of the Mothers' and Dads' clubs through which it is expected a sympathetic interest with the work of the university will bo cre ated among parents fo the students. Unique in the field of education, the work with the mothers and dads at Oregon has gained widespread at tention and has attracted support from the Carnegie foundation by means of which it is possible for the president to carry the univer sity message over the state "with out cost to the taxpayer." The president lamented the mis carriage of the good intentions of many well-meaning folk who sign ed the referendum petition aimed to overthrow the governor's veto of $500,000 of the amount appro priated for higher education, but which, in effect, nullified the entire appropriation. As the situation now stands the university will receive 26 percent less money from the state this year than It did ten years ago, while registration figures show an Increased enrollment of 88 per cent over the same interval. Always hard to get Instructors of a high type, the enforced cur tailment of expenditures makes It still harder, as well as reducing ROLL CALL EVENT PLANNED BY ELKS Deer for Venison Dinner Largest of Season; Full Program of En tertainment Arranged. Heppner Lodge No. 358, B. P. O. Elks, will hold roll call night next Thursday evening, when it is ex pected members from over its en tire domain will be present to an swer when their names are called Garnet Barr itt, exalted ruler, has planned the event to be a real homecoming of lodge members, and is urging all members to be present for the tine entertainment program. Starting the evening Elks and their ladies will be treated to a big venison dinner. The "big" is used advisedly for the deer on which they will feed is the largest so far brought Into town this season. It was killed Monday by Monroe Tur ner, who gave it to the lodge for the homecoming event. In exchange for services of members In getting it out of the woods. It was so big that it took six men nearly a full day to get it to town. The weight was 250 pounds. It will be prepar- ea unaer tne supervision of Mark Merrill, in charge, of the commis sary for the evening. The dinner is being served by the lodge. During the dinner hour guests will be treated to a big program of entertainment, in charee of D. A. Wilson and W. R. Poulson. Plans for this part of the program are well in hand, and promise a good treat Following the dinner the mem bers will retire to the lodge room for a regular lodge session and the roll call, while special entertain ment for the ladies will be provided in tne club rooms. STRANGE SIGHT SEEN. Six young coyotes were seen, ap parently tugging away at some prey, on the hill east of town Mon day morning. Andrew Baldwin, lo cal deliveryman, and the depot rorce witnessed the scene from the depot, and from the distance for a time could not make out just what the animals were, at first thinking a band of geese had landed on the hillside. Adam Knoblock, govern ment trapper, viewed them through a field glass and reported them to be a band of migratory coyote pups, "just going through the country." the number of Instructors possible to carry on the faculty. The im possibility to renew expiring con tracts caused the university to drop irom tnirteenth place to the bottom of the list of universities by instruc tors per 1000 pupils. ' Dr. Hall was criticizing no one. But, as a servant of the people, he cited the situation to show what the administration was up against in attempting to prosecute its func tion of giving equal educational op portunity to all the youth of the state, while providing a high type of intellectual and spiritual leader ship under conditions conducive to moral, spiritual and intellectual de velopment of the student Teach Students to Think. The spiritual development sought In the pupils was interpreted by the speaker to mean an earnest desire to seek the truth. The university is often criticized, he said, for over throwing fixed beliefs which the student may have had when he entered there. But if the student was taught to think for himself, with an earnest desire to learn the truth, the university's task had been completed. Dramatic was Dr. Hall's story of a recent visit to the Doernbecher hospital, one of only two institu tions in the state for the care of crippled children. Filled to ca pacity, and doing an unsurpassed humanitarian service, this institu tion has an ever increasing waiting list as a result of the curtailment of state support. This situation was deemed unfortunate by the speaker. The medical school, also, which attempts to educate only the high est type of students, has been hurt Last year, Dr. Hall said, tho ad ministration obtained more money from outside the state for support of the medical school than was giv en by the state itself. While sympathetic with the stringent financial condition of the state at the present time, Dr. Hall said there was no denying that higher education is being discrim inated against to the benefit of oth er state functions. The amount of money spent for higher education is altogether disproportionate to that spent for other things. More money is spent by the state In a year for eiUier cigarettes or cos metics than is given for support of higher education. Contributes Masterpiece. The gift of Mr. Barker to the uni versity was conceived as an aid to one of the aims of the administra tion, that of fostering among the students a love for the beautiful. Mr. Barker, himself a native of Oregon of pioneer stock, grew to manhood without seeing a sinele painting or piece of statuary. At forty yeras of age he developed an appreciation of and love for art He lamented the paucity of art In me west, while Europe and the East are so rich in masterpieces.

REPORT GIVEN LIONS Possibility of Emergency Money Being Spent on Heppner-Spray Roads; Llonism Talk Given. "A pig In the poke" is the term applied to the Heppner-Rltter road by Roy A. Klein, state engineer, as reported by Al Rankin, envoy of the Heppner Lions club to the state highway commission meeting in Sa lem last Thursday. In his report, made before the club Monday, Mr. Rankin said the commission refus ed to give the road consideration. Mr. Klein's term was applied, he said, because of the fact that the commission had no way of know ing whether the road would cost $1,000,000 or $30,000,000. Mr. Ran kin was sent to Salem by the club to ask that the Heppner-Ritter road be named a primary state road. The Morrow county delegation, . composed of Mr. Rankin, W. T. Campbell, county judge; George Peck and G. A. Bleakman. commis sioners; Harry Tamblyn, engineer; W. L. McCaleb, roadmaster, and W. P. Mahoney, attended the joint meeting of the state highway com mission and bureau of public roads officials in Portland Thursday when $50,000 was allotted for gravelling 9.6 miles of the Heppner-Sprav road. This action was taken with out any urging by the local delega tion, Mr. Rankin said. The Hepp ner-Spray road was also approved as a secondary state highway, en titling it to support from the state. an action much desired locally. Spray Road May Benefit It was the aim of the Morrow county delegation to secure state aid through the emergency road fund to relieve the local unemploy ment situation, while attempting to direct expenditure of the money where it would do the most good, Mr. Rankin said. Finding that it would be impossible to get the mon ey applied on the Heppner-Ritter road, the delegation concurred in the suggestion of Engineer Klein that such emergency money as might be received be applied to the uncompleted portion of the Heppner-Spray road. J. M. Devers, at torney for the commission, ruled that roads of the secondary system were as much state highways as roads of the primary system, and hence eligible to receive money from the emergency fund.' This matter has been referred to the at torney general, and if his decision concurs with that of Mr. Devers, tne emergency money received by this county may be expended on the Heppner-Spray road. Otherwise the only road In Morrow county to ben efit would be the Oregon-Washing-ton highway. The commission was besieged with large delegations from west of the mountains who had loads of documentary proof of claims ' for their roads, and it was impossible for the commission to deny the big demand for a short-cut route to the coast They designated the Wil son River road as a primary state mgnway. under the conditions. with the local delegation having so nitie to substantiate their claims. it was not logical to expect consid eration for the Heppner-Ritter road, said Mr. Rankin.

Just how much of this $200,000 Morrow county may get, or how soon it will be received, was not made known, though It was promised that each county in the state would get its share. A feature of the club program was a talk on Lionism by P. W. Mahoney, of the Lions education committee.
