HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1932. PAGE THREE The HEHISCH Edited by the Journalism ClaM of Heppner High School STAFF Editor Miriam Moyer Assistant Editor Anabel Turner Reporters: John Glavey, Claire Phelan, Beth Wright, Lora Gil man, Marie Scrivner, Florence Moyer, Anson Rugg and Mary DriscoU. Editorial. Besides merely eating, drinking, and being merry there should be a thought in our minds about the first Thanksgiving and what the Pilgrims gave to us. Thanksgiving what does that word mean to us? Oh a big tur key, dressing, food of all sorts with many goodies. Perhaps we have fun but it's doubtful whether we have as much exoitement any gayety as the pil grims manifested. They had few luxuries but were grateful for their few. Few of us are really thankful for what we have, but in this year of need let's really think about how many things we have to be happy for when we attack a large drumstick. host and Gladys Cason, hostess. "Ye Merrie Stenos" of the ad vanced secretarial training class are attending other classes to ob serve and take down the conversa tion by shorthand notes. The typing classes were supposed to have completed the first three hurdles in their contest on the 18th. Regular practice of the junior class is now in progress under the direction of Miss Btraughan. The play will be given some time next month. Some of the students In clothing one class have completed and hand ed in their first problem for the year's work. These articles of clo thing are displayed in the sewing room. Some of the students In junior English worked for extra credit last week by handing in any news they could secure. The maximum number was not less than five news stories or a rate of one a day. Underclassmen Hold Party The freshmen and sophomores held the freshman return party last Friday night. About all of the students were present. Doughnuts and cider were served. Up to this year all of the classes held one big party, but due to the large number it is hard to make the party a success, so here after the freshmen and sophomores will have their party first, and the jun iors and seniors will hold their party later. Boosters Are Active. The committee on the organiza tion of the Booster club has finally completed its investigation of the questionnaires. A list of those eli gible to belong to the club will be posted Monday. There will be fifty members. Ten more will be eligi ble to join In the spring. Associate members Include mem bers of the pep band, football, bas ketball teams, and the managers. More upper classmen have been en rolled than lower classmen. Since the membership is not com plete, many members of the high school will have an opportunity to become eligible by entering into all school activities with a cooperative spirit. This applies especially to lower classmen who have two or three year yet in school. Squad Limited to 20. Basketball practice will start Monday. The number of candidates for the squad has been limited to 20 men. This limiting of the num. ber of candidates is done in order that the coach will be able to ban die them on the basketball floor. Those wishing to turn out have to leave their names with Gene Mikesell. Grade News Miss Leathers, the seventh grade teacher, was ill most of last week. Mrs. Gerald Slocum, a former grade school teacher, took her pace dur ing that time. The first grade is making attrac tive Thanksgiving decorations for their room. The second grade is making Thanksgiving picture booklets and Is studying pictures of the Pilgrims going to church and the return of the Mayflower, Jfhllip Conn and Jimmie aBrratt will spend their Thanksgiving va cation in Portland. Sea plant and snails have come to life in the aquarium with the goldfish in the second grade. The children of the third grade entertained their mothers Wednes day afternoon. They told of the Pilgrim's first Thanksgiving day and sang songs. The fourth grade is working on a circus project They are hoping to have a sand table made by one of the boys for this. Melbro Cox came back to school Monday after being absent for some time. needs at least one meat ration a day, cooked in the manner he likes best The working man needs more meat than the housed man. I do not permit heavy meats for the eve ning meal. The adult human body needs one or two eggs daily, cooked as the in dividual prefers. I prefer cooked fruits to raw fruits, as a rule. From the produc er to the consumer these days, may pass the viand through a dozen pairs of tmore or less dirty hands. It takes more than a casual rinsing to remove germs; cooking does the work. Stewed dried fruits are my absolute favorites for winter eating. The fruit portion of the meal, roughly speaking, may furnish from one-third to one-half the volume of the ration. We, as a nation, eat too little of well-selected fruits. We do not give enough attention to the volume of water taken. A patient weighing 150 pounds should drink a total of a half-gallon of wa ter daily. Don't await thirst, if you are sedentary. Get the habit of drinking methodically. I am often asked, "Shall I drink milk?" This by people who are merely run-down from over-strain of affairs. I ask, "do you like it?" "Yes." "Then drink it" But if the answer is, "No, I can't say I like it, but have been told It is good for me." Then I say,. "take a glass now and then, but abandon it if it causes distress." "Trial and error " you know. , DPdDOODf JOHN JOSEPH GAINE5,M.D From the Melting; Pot There are some points I might call them rules that I feel pretty safe in abiding by, subject to very moderate amending for special cases. I will mention a few. I have learned that the adult man LEXINGTON (Continued from First Page) Heppner bridge club at her home Saturday afternoon.

Sam McMillan spent the week end with Merritt Gray at his home on Social Ridge. The annual Red Cross roll call Is progressing nicely in Lexington un der the leadership of Miss Dona Barnett, chairman, Mrs. Edwin In gles and Mrs. Elmer Hunt Miss Barnett expresses satisfaction with the response which has thus far been received.

High score was made by Mrs. Gentry and consola tion by Mr. Luttrell. After refresh ments were served Mr. Barnett was presented wtih a comforter which the ladies of the neighborhood had made for him. This was a com plete surprise to Mr. Barnett and to say he was pleased would be put ting it mildly. Bill Barnhouse came over from Antone Tuesday and is a guest at the S. G. McMillan home. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hunt and son Dean were dinner guests Sun day of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Johnson. Wood row Tucker spent the week end with Kenneth Peck at his home in Clark's canyon.

The first game of the season will be played here with Boardman on December 9. unit The big crusher is ready for op eration at the main road camp on Heppner-Spray highway, and the spreading of the surfacing material is going on with favorable weather conditions. During the past week there was a fall of some six Inches of snow on the summit of the mountains, but this soon disappear ed. A number of teams with dump wagons as well as many trucks will be utilized in spreading the gravel. Just now we would not advise trav eling this road unless the chains are on the cars, there being some pretty tough stretches of gumbo to get through. Beyond the road camp for some three miles, the surface is well packed by the traffic out to Spray, but some six or seven miles from the camp toward Heppner the going is not so good) but can be negotiated with chains.

Returning home over the Oregon Califomia and Sherman highways Saturday from Prineville, the edi tor noted very little traffic and very few cars and trucks coming and going. This is in keeping, no doubt, with the stringency of the times. At Redmond vast herds of fine tur keys were in evidence and at many farms the birds were being prepar ed for shipment to outside markets. Some 1500 head of cattle were on feed at the big ranches near Hay creek crossing where there seemed to be an abundance of hay. These cattle will go to market in Febru ary and March, we were told. Charles Klinger, extensive turkey raiser of the Alpine neighborhood, was doing business in the city Mon day afternoon. He has been get ting some of his turkeys off to mar ket, but in limited quantities only, as the prices offered are a bit low. Heavy rains have also been a hin drance in getting the birds dressed, but this is of minor importance, as the results to the grain that is coming up will be an offset. Leonard Schwarz departed for Prineville on Friday evening and for a short time will be in charge of the Prineville Meat market He was accompanied to the Crook county capital by Mrs. Schwarz and Mr. and Mrs. Vawter Crawford, the journey being made through the mountains via Heppner-Spray and Ochoco highways.

The directions sain to "hold a square piece of glass In front of the evaporating dish to protect the face." He did this at first but when the sodium took fire he removed the glass to see better.
