LIONS PLANT TREES
AT CITY PARK SITE
First Ground Broken on
Clean-Up Day in New
Civic Enterprise.
ADVERTISING TOPIC
Notson and Rankin Report Action
of State Chamber; State Would
Have Exhibit at World Fair.
The first ground was broken
Monday for Heppner's new city
park when a work detail from the
Lions club planted trees along the
street in front of the property and
on the ground adjacent to - the
American Legion swimming pool
in the south part of town, being
administered by a holding company
in the interest of making an attrac
tive city park and playground. A
row of silver maples was planted
along the front and south side of
the property, two silver maples in
the southwest corner, and one Nor
way maple and one Wisconsin
weeping willow were planted near
the projected front entrance.
The work was done Monday part
ly in observance of the city's clean
up day; and the beginning of the
park at this time also honors the
bicentennial anniversary of George
Washington, in whose memory a
natinal tree-planting campaign is
being waged this year under the
direction of congress.
The work detail was organized
under the leadership of Paul Mar
ble and Frank Turner at the noon
luncheon of the club, and all mem
bers who could devoting the after
noon to the work. The trees plant
ed already have a year's growth,
and wooden cages four to five feet
in height were built about each to
insure their chance to make con
tinued growth.
Mr. Marble, who drew the orig
inal landscaping plat, had laid out
with stakes the positions of the
tree plantings, paths, shrubs and
related prospective adornments, in
order that the men might grasp the
idea of the relationship of the first
work to the completed project
which the directors of the holding
company have in mind, and which
they expect will be an object of
pleasure and pride to all the people
of the community when it is final
ly realized.
Plants Acceptable.
The members of the holding com
pany wish it to be understood that
the park is being developed soley
as a community project, and that
anyone so inclined is welcome to do
whatever he may wish. The only
restriction is that the work shall
comply with thei requirements of
the adopted plat In order to main
tain a unified scheme. Through
Mr. Marble, directors of the hold
ing company have asked that any
one having a surplus of shrubs
when working over their yards this
spring consider the matter of do
nating some to the park. Almost
any kind of shrubs can be used, and
by getting them started now, Mr.
Marble says it is hoped to have an
abundance of verdure to use an
other season in further developing
the landscaping plan.
The program for the luncheon
was in charge of W. W. Smead and
G. A. Bleakman, who sponsored the
appearance of Miss Katherlne Nys
in recitation and the Heppner Man
dolin club stringed quartet in spec
ial numbers, all of which were well
received.
A report of the state chamber of
commerce meeting in Portland last
week end was made by S. E. Not
son, state director, and Al Rankin,
county director, who attended. A
further plan for reviving the work
of the state chamber, as adopted at
the meeting, was explained. The
matter of an Oregon exhibit at the
world's fair In Chicago next year,
as well as the continuance of the
Los Angeles olilce of the state
chamber hinges largely on the suc
cess of this program, It was said.
Plan Calls for $14,000.
The pan contemplates raising a.
total of $14,000 which is the mini
mum with which the state chamber
can hope to carry on the proposed
work. Of this amount the Portland
Chamber of Commerce guarantees
fifty per cent if the upstate will
raise the other fifty per cent
Oregon has reserved 10,000 square
feet of floor space in the state ex
hibit building at Chicago for Its
world fair display In which It is
hoped to have every county of the
state represented But to hold this
space It will be necessary to close
the contract within the next few
months. Before the contract can
be closed it Is essential to know
that the project can be financed.
To explain the situation, and la
ter assist in collecting the exhibits
If the financial drive is a success,
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce
has agreed to donate part of the
time of their secretary, E, G. Har
lan, former secretary of the state
chamber and one-time Heppner
newspaperman. Mr, Harlan is ex
pected to spend considerable time
In the field in the Interests of this
work in the near future.
County's Share Small.
The per capita quota for carry
ing out the new program has been
set at two cents, making Morrow
county'B share approxlmatetly $100.

Mr. Notson and Mr. Rankin ex
pressed the hope that this amount
might be raised, believing that the
dividends received In advertising
the county to the outside world
would make the investment profit
able.
The report of Mr. Notson and
Mr. Rankin was In line with one
of the discussion topics selected by
the program committee for the day,
that of advertising Morrow coun
ty." Mr. Sinead also gave a short
Idea of the other discussion topic,
"Market Gardening in Morrow
County," which was crowded out
for lack of time. From a personal
Investigation he said he believed
that market gardening could be
made profitable In Morrow county;
that there Is a market, but that this
market must be assured a regular
supply of products. He hoped that
further investigation and discus.
sion of the subject could be had at
a later date,

GREEN FEED CUTS
TURKEY EXPENSE
Fourth Saved in Production Costs
by Providing Succulents,
Says O.'S. C. Report.
Value of an abundance of green
feed and high protein content in
the ration of developing and fat
tening turkeys was clearly indicat
ed this past season in the second'
year's experiments in raising tur
keys under semi-confinement at the
Umatilla branch experiment station
at Hermiston, Oregon.
The detailed report of the experi
ments in turkey raising have just
been reported on by H. K. Dean, su
perintendent, and H. E. Cosby, ex
tension poultryman of O. S. C, in a
new circular of information, No. 68,
just issued by the experiment sta
tion. It may be had free from coun
ty agents or direct from Corvallis.
Two hundred and fifty day-old
poults were obtained for the experi
ment and divided into four pens,
after the brooding season. From
these 213 mature birds were sold,
205 of which, or 96.2 per cent, grad
ed prime, seven graded choice and
only one graded commercial.
It cost 27 per cent more to pro
duce a pound of turkey in one lot
that was given no green feed than
in the lot where the birds were
pastured on growing alfalfa, and 18
per cent more where the ration in
cluded dried greens. Less differ
ence was shown where chopped
green feed was fed.
This year's feeding was based on
a higher animal protetin poult
starting mash and higher protein
deveoping mash than was used pre
viously. The results obtained so
far are very promising, says the re
port, though additional work will
be carried on to determine the
proper level. This year 200 pounds
of fish meal, 200 pounds of meat
scraps and 100 pounds of powdered
milk were included in a ton of dry
mash. Complete formulas for the
starting mash, developing mash
and scratch feeds are given in the
circular.
"There was no loss from or any
indication of blackhead, intestinal
worms nor parasites, and no money
was expended for preventatives,
panaceas, tonics or medicinal treat
ments," says the report,
Heppner Golfers Lose
Tourney to Pilot Rock
Heppner golfers were defeated
23-18 in match tournament play at
Pilot Rock Sunday, in a high wind
that drove the down-pouring rain
to hide the participants and served
to hamper the game of all. Local
participants return, however, with
high praise of the hospitality ac
corded by the Pilot Rock club, and
are looking forward to the oppor
tunity of returning the favors be
stowed, a week from Sunday when
a team from Pilot Rbck will en
gage in a return tournament here.
Composing the local team that
went to Pilot Rock were Mark Mer
rill, captain, E. A. Bennett, D. A,
Wilson, Ambrose Chapln, Clinton

E
Charming Operetta of
Circus Motif Given by
Pupils of School.
MANY IN CHORUSES
Colorful Costumes, Good Acting,
Singing, Pretty Dances Feature
Annual Music Festival.
"Rings in the Sawdust," given as
the annual spring operetta by the
music pupils of Heppner high
school, was well received by an
audience that comfortably filled
the gym-auditorium last night.
Colorful, well acted and well sung,
it was replete with humorous as
well as heart-appealing situations,
affording a diversity of entertain
ment.
The stage setting depicted the
front of a circus tent, with large
crayon drawings of the "fat wo
man," the "tallest man in the
world,' and other circus allurements
making an attractive background
for the circus day scenes carried
out by members of the cast in ap
propriate costumes. The theme of
the play was entwined around the
management of the circus, some of
the helpers, and certain patrons,
with the love-making of Toby
Dunn, the circus owner, and Sally
Squeezem, daughter of Alonzo
Squeezem, the town banker, as the
central motif.
Cast in the roles of Toby and
Sally were Ralph Forgey and Ana
bel Turner, with John Franzen tak
ing the part of Squeezem the bank
er who found quite enticing the
charms of Marybelle Jaybird, a
widow, with Hazel Beymer in the
role. Willie Jaybird, the widow's
mischievous son, played by Francis
Nickerson, was a thorn in the side
of Eliza Slimmer, Marybelle's old
maid sister, in the person of Wini
fred Case. These two, with Inky
Snow, colored helper, taken by
Wrex Langdon; Dinky Moore, Irish
helper, portrayed by Billy Cochell,
and the clown, played by Frances
RugS". provided an abundance of
wholesome comedy.
In the end it was revealed that
little Willie was tie one who slid
down the chimney Into Banker
Squeezem's study and removed the
mortgage, which Toby was accused
of stealing with Inky Snow as an
accomplice, and thus was removed
the stumbling block in the path of
the love affair of Toby and Sally.
The scream of the evening came in
the climax when Little Willie
smeared ice cream all over his
mother's face.
Gay Anderson took the part of
the circus crier, a lead part in the
chorus made up of high school
students and grade pupils. Two
special girls' choruses added much
charm to the entertainment with
songs and dances in costume, one
a chorus of hottentots, and the
other a chorus of Irish colleens.
The hottentots were Lola Hiatt,
Mary McDuffee, Jessie French,
Ileen Kilkenny, Mary Driscoll, Myr
tle Green, Lydia Ulrich and Adele
Nickerson, and the colleens were
Jennie Swindig, Phyllis Pollock,
Anne Crump, Rachel Anglin, Lora
Gilman, Juanita Morgan, Roberta
Thompson
The chorus of villagers included
Mat Kenny, Marvin Morgan, Earl
Bryant, Bill Schwarz, Gay Ander
son, Claude Hill, Jack Slocum, Mar
garet Tamblyn, Mary Moore, Joe
Farley, Warren Blakely, Janette
Blakely, Shirley Wilson, Virginia
Swindig, Margaret Doolittle, Rob

McDuffee, Jessie French, Mrytle
Green, Ileen Kilkenny, Mary Dris
coll, Lydia Ulrich, Adele Nickerson,
Jennie Swindig, Phyllis Pollock,
Anne Crump, Rachel Anglin, Lora
Gilman and Juanita Morgan.
Between the acts the rhythm
band composed of lower grade tots
was presented in two numbers.
The operetta was coached and
directed by Miss Charlotte Woods,
music supervisor of the schools.
Mrs. W. R, Poulson was accompan
ist. James T. Lumley and Neil
Shuirman, high school Instructors,
were stage managers, and Miss
Madge Coppock and Miss Dorothy
Straughan, instructors, had charge
of the advertising Including the
making of the large hand-colored
posters.

of Pendleton, was the speaker of
the evening, and gave local mem
bers the latest information on Le

FREE CHILD CLINIC
SET FOR APRIL 30
Heppner Physicians, Assisted by
Red Cross Nurse, to Make Ex
aminations From 8 to Noon.
Mothers are invited to bring their
youngsters six years of age and un
der, to the free children's clinic to
be conducted Saturday, April 30,
under the auspices of the Morrow
County Public Health association,

T. A. The clinic will be held in the
American Legion room in the Ho
tel Heppner building, with Dr. A.
B. Gray and Dr. A. D. McMurdo in
charge of medical examinations, as
sisted by Miss Gladys Badger, pub
lic health nurse who is being sent
here from Portland by the Red
Cross. A dentist will also be on
hand to examine the children's
teeth.
While the hope of the committee
in charge Is that defects found will
be corrected, there will of course
be no obligation of any kind on the
part of the mother. The clinic is
being held primarily for Heppner
children, but any mother living in
the county who wishes to take ad
vantage of this exceptional oppor
tunity will be welcome to do so.
The clinic hours are from 8:00 to
12:00 m. A particular effort is be
ing made to reach all children who
will enter school in the fall, even
if they have been examined several
times at previous clinics. Appoint
ments may be made through Mrs.
Paul Gemmell, Mrs. Paul Marble,
Mrs. Eugene Ferguson or either of
the doctors for the clinic examin
ation. Rural Teachers Have
Interesting Meeting

while day, last Saturday, at the
Davis school, where their third and
last meeting of the year was held.
The meeting was well attended by
the rural teachers as well as, many
others, and everyone entered hear
tily into the discussions.
The group gathered at 10:30 o'
clock in the forenoon and the first
part of the day was given over to
a short business meeting. Audrey
Beymer, teacher of the Davis
school, with her pupils, put on a
moving picture reel, "Seeing the
World from the Graf Zeppelin," a
health project which her school
had worked out and had proved
very Interesting. A discussion, led
by Mrs. Marie Clary, on the pos
sibilities of declamatory work in
the rural schools, followed. During
this time, Bernard Doherty, who
happened to be present, spoke
"Monkey Business," which took
first place in the recent county de
clamatory contest. At noon, a
bountiful pot-luck luncheon was
served by ladles of the community.
The afternoon session began with
a talk on "Presenting a Puppet
Show," by Rosella Doherty, who
afterwards exhibitetd her puppets
and stage by presenting the play,
Jack and the Beanstalk. Mrs,
Viola Engelman spoke on geopra-
phy projects, giving suggestions
for the study of various countries.
Velma Huston and Audrey Beymer
explained the value and Interest in
having community activities on
"Play Day," both for children and
older people. Several announce
ments were then made by Mrs
Lucy Rodgers.
The next meeting of the club Is
scheduled for some time in Sep
tember and as it is to be considered
an alternative for the usual county
institute which has been discontin
ued, attendance of rural teachers
will be compulsory.

INDIANS SCALPED
BY LOCALS, 23-5
To Open Wheatland League Season
At lone Next Sunday; Heavy
Hitting Features Victory.
The Wheatland Baseball league
season opens next Sunday with
Heppner playing at lone. Those
who saw the local lads defeat the
Umatilla Indians 23-5 here last Sun
day afternoon are confident the
lone lads will be given plenty to
worry about in the opening league
fray. Heppner's heavy artillery
was brought into play against the
Indians, whose noble efforts to re
sist the onslaught were futile.
Wilcox and Roy Gentry were
both on the mound for the locals
with Hank Robertson receiving
throughout, A scattered seven hits
which the Indians were able to
make off these boys' offerings is
evidence of their effectiveness. At
the same time the home ads clout
ed out 19 hits off Chief Johnly, one
a home run by Mr. Wilcox. Homer
Hayes clouted a three bagger, while
he, Harold Gentry, Robertson and
Gene Rohrer twice, were credited
with two-baggers.
Heppner will play the first league
game at home in two weeks when
Condon comes here. Next Sunday
Fossil plays at Condon and Rufus-
Blalock plays at Arlington. Ar
lington's crew trounced Joe Bid-
die's Mission Indians last Sunday
in a pre-season game, 5-2.

tion of Governor Meier, issued this
week, and the attendant remarks
of Frederick D. Strieker, collabor
ating epidemiologist of the Oregon
State Board of Health.
In observance of the day here,
the sponsoring organizations have
announced a free health clinic for
children of pre-school age in the
morning from 8 to 12, a community
pot-luck lunch at the fair grounds
at noon to be followed by a health
pageant and exercises in the after
noon, with the school band fur
nishing music. A May queen will
be chosen from among the girls of
the senior class of the high school.
Proclamation Given.
Governor Meier says: "May first
has been designated as Child
Health Day by joint resolution of
congress and by proclamation of
the President of the United States.
It is needless to remind all thought
ful citizens that the youth of our
state constitutes our most precious
resource and that boys and girls,
sound in body, mind and spirit, are
the one great hope for the future.
"During these times of economic
pressure it becomes1 increasingly
important that we shall make a
most earnest effort to conserve and
develop those activities which pro
mote child health and welfare, men
tal, physical and spiritual.
"It is my sincere hope, therefore,
that the people of Oregon will, on
Child Health Day and during the
week thereafter, turn their
thoughts to the necessity of unre
mitting efforts for the proper care
and nurture of our children, to the
end that the interest created by
this observance may be felt in con
structive activity throughout the
year."
In appreciation of the remarks
of the governor and to give still
further emphasis to the new mail
ing of May Day, Dr. Strieker has
issued this statement:
Concerted Effort Need.
"Child Health Day the new and
more significant development of
the old May Day festival is at
hand. The season of preparation
is here for both the festivities inci
dent to an age-old custom and the
finer and more practical aspect of
child health and protection which
is the later development. The new
significance of May Day came a
few years ago when this anniver
sary was turned into a milestone
of permanent accomplishment for
the betterment of the physical well
being of both mothers and children
for there can be no separation of
the two. The last four years have
seen much accomplished in Oregon.
"Governor Meier has issued his
proclamation setting aside Sunday,
May 1, as Child Health Day. It
demonstrates his full understand
ing of the problems involved and
the necessity for a concentrated
drive for their solution, not only
for the day assigned, but also for
the Conference of Child Health and
Protection to be held in Salem
May 2nd and 3rd, 1932.
"Many parents need to be encour
aged to see that their children have
a full health examination. Examin
ations of supposedly healthy chil
dren bring to the front defects
that were not known or even sus
pected, most of which can be cor
rected. Among other things it
brings to light the necessity for
the immunization of children
against diphtheria, smallpox and
other diseases which are the chief
enemies of childhood. The problem
of child health and protection can
not be solved In one day's activity
at high tension."
DUST STORM NOT LOCAL.
The dust storm which hit Hepp
ner last Thursday evening was not
purely local in nature, says Harold
Cohn who was on his way home
from Montana at the time. Ho said
It covered a stretch of some 300
miles as he was that far from
Heppner when he ran Into it. Mr.
Cohn went to Montana to make
preparations to again put his sheep
on summer range in the vicinity of
Glacier National park.- He will
start them there sometime between
the middle of May and first of
June.
