HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 5, 193B3. PAGE THREE L(sn3 Hipp Mr. and Mra. Clyde Crawford of Shedd, Oregon, were visitors here over Monday and Tuesday, being guests at the homes of Mrs. Frank S. Parker and Mr .and Mrs. Vaw ter Crawford. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford was an event of Sunday morning at Shedd, and they are spending a week of honeymooning in eastern Oregon and Washington. They departed Wednesday for Waitsburg, where other relatives of Mr. Crawford re side. He is a cousin of Mrs. Par ker and V. Crawford. Jessie O. Turner left for Salem early Monday morning and will be come a resident of the capitol city for the next six weeks or two months while serving as represen tative in the legislature from Mor row countywith Gilliam, Wheeler and Sherman making up his dis trict. Jap Crawford went along with him and will gather in some experience as a reporter of pro ceedings at the state house while the special and regular sessions are on. Henry Smouse reports that he has been quite busy reseeding at has farm in the lone section. The Arco wheat seemed to be al killed, and this has been reseeded, and while the Turkey Red seems to be coming through, much of it is un doubtedly killed, and Mr. Smouse has gone over some 250 acres of his field with new grain. Condi tions for seeding are ideal right ' now, Mr. Smouse states. He was a visitor here yesterday afternoon. Clifford Simms of Freewater and Homer Watts, attorney of Athena, were visitors in Heppner Saturday, coming over to attend a meeting of the customers of the Heppner Far-( mers Elevatdr company, reported to have been called for the purpose of instituting proceeding in court for the recovery of missing wheat. Definite action in this regard was not taken at this meeting, so this paper has been informed. This paper was in error last week regarding the nativity of John Skuzeski, who was made a citizen of the United States in examination before Judge Parker in circuit court The paper had Mr. Skuzeski a native of Russia, whereas, it should have been Poland. He was born at Krakow, near the city of Warsaw in Poland, and we are glad to make this correction on behalf of Mr. Skuzeski. John McEntire and Robert Part low were Boardman citizens in Heppner for a few hours Saturday. They came to the city on matters of business and report that the milder weather conditions prevail ing over the north end of the coun ty are appreciated. Up to date there is a lack of moisture and a big snow would do much good. Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Bloom returned Friday from Portland, having spent a few days in the city attending the State Teachers asso ciation meeting. All teachers re turned from their vacations the end of the week and were ready for duty at the opening of school Tues day morning. Jason Biddle was looking after business affairs here Saturday from the farm on Rhea creek. But little rain out that way so far this win ter, and the recent hard freeze has apparently done damage to the grain that was coming along well before the sub-zero weather hit It. Mr. and Mrs. Gus Wilcox were visitors here Saturday from the farm west of Lexington. Damage was done their wheat by the recent cold snap, and the excessive winds since have not improved the situa tion as to the crop outlook, much moisture being blown away. Miss Margaret Notson returned to Salem Sunday night and will re sume her work as a student in Willamette university. She spent the vacation season here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Notson.

Narrowly avoiding death in many close calls in her work as international spy on the staff of the British, Carla Jenssen retires after 12 years, her identity becoming known, and now turns to the American movies. Weather One of the commonest remarks when we have had two or three mild winters in succession la that "We don't have the old-fashioned winters with lots of snow and the pond frozen for skating from Thanksgiving to Easter, like we ueed to." Then along comes a "real old fashioned winter" such as the pres ent one promises to be, to confute the grumblers. The fault is with human memory. Weather Bureau records prove that there has been no perceptible change In the average annual tem perature or snow fall in the United States in the 52 years since records began to be kept. There have been as many "hard" winters as mild ones. But as human beings get older they remember vividly the unusual happenings of their child hood and think of them as the reg ular occurrences. I have forgotten all about the heavy snowfall in New England on Thanksgiving Day, 1876, but I viv idly remember that on New Year's Day, 1877, a few weeks later, the snow had melted and the road had thawed and It took our old mare "Jessie" all day to draw a side-bar buggy ten miles to town, through hub-deep mud, under a sweltering sun. Fifty years from now the chil dren of today will be complaining that the winters aren't what they used to be; but it will be their memories, not the weather, that has changed. Relief . from cares I had a half-hour alone with President Hoover in the White House the other day. It is against the rules to quote what the Presi dent says in such conversations, but I violate no confidence In reporting that he looks, acts and talks like a boy approaching his school vaca tion. He is looking forward with eagerness to being relieved from the most onerous job In the world. In this respect he is much like other men who have been Presi dent. Some may not have been bo frank about it, but no man ever laid down the reins of that office without being glad he was well rid of the job, and wondering why he ever thought he wanted it, In the first place. Mr. Hoover, I am privileged to report, will not do any of the things which his friends have suggested for him to do when he leaves the White House. To use his own word. he proposes to "hibernate" for a Famed Spy Quits If just the same Frances Hooked 'Em A Roosevelt Aide 1 Eighteen fish in thirty minutes was the record of Miss Frances Hauser at Harmosa Beach, Calif., to win the annual municipal award, a contest staged yearly at the famous fishing resort.

After that, nobody knows, least of al Herbert Hoover. I venture the guess that a book will come out of that "hibernation," since French Strother, the Presi dent's literary secretary, expects to accompany his chief into the soli tudes. Singers ... we have them It is still the fashion in "cultured" circles to sneer at American musi cians and to prefer the imported article. That is nonsense in a coun try that produced Lillian Nordica, Lawrence Tibbetts, Madam Albani and so many other great singers. In Italy they do not scoff at na tive music, but applaud and take pride in their singers, composers and performers. Maybe that is why they develop so many first-raters for export to America. On my re cent visit to Italy the home of Tos canni, the great conductor of the Metropolitan Opera, was pointed out to me in Milan. When he is at home he practices on the piano from five to ten every morning, my guide told me, and crowds stand in the street to listen! Wandering around Florence alone one night I stumbled upon a thea ter, named for Italy's great com poser, Verdi, whose music will be played as long as humans have ears. On the ship returning I had for a traveling companion Scotti, the famous baritone, travelling eight thousand miles to sing Just one night in New York" before he retires. Even a singer must quit at sixty-seven. But in his native Naples they were already preparing for a great civic fete to honor the singer on his return from America. I want to see some city in Amer ica do something like that for some great American singer. Contentment ... in a taxi Not everybody is dissatisfied. The most contented man I have en countered recently Is a Washington taxi-cab driver. Washington has a fixed rate of twenty cents for all taxi rides within the city, limits, whatever the distance. The result is that everybody uses taxis. This youne man owned a small wHnn when he lost his job, and took out a taxi license. "I wouldn't zo back to working for a boss for anything," he told me, as we arove oown Pennsylvania Avenue. "I make forty to forty five dollars a week clear above the cost of gas, oil and tires, and don't work Saturdays. The poorest day I've had in weeks I made flvn Hni. lars, and when we had three days oi snow i averagea nrteen dollars net a dav. If there are enough young men with. that spirit left there Isn't any thing to worry about so far as the iuiure or me country is concerned The Woman's Study club will meet next Mondav evenlnc Tnn o at the home of Mrs. Frank Turner. The program will be devoted to a study of Australia and New Zea land, with roll call topics based on these countries. Daddy of Beer Bill Reported Bride NEWS Stephen T.
