Turner of this city, Mrs. Tally states that she is still making her home at Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she has been for the past number of years. She speaks of the depression, which has been felt in that part of the country much more this year; they hardly knew it existed heretofore, because of a heavy expenditure of the government in constructing the Middle Rio Grande Causeway, the headquarters of the project being at Albuquerque, giving work dur ing the year to some 2000 people. Mrs. Tally states that she and her husband are very well; the latter having improved greatly following a recent surgical treatment She extends greetings and best wishes to all old friends at Heppner, and hopes all may enjoy better times throughout 1933.

Lawrence Redding was here Sat urday from Eight Mile Center. The lack of moisture and the constant winds over the country do not lend much encouragement to the wheat farmers right now, and Mr. Redding was not any too happy over the prospect Floyd Worden, who farms In the Eight Mile section, was looking af ter business in the city Saturday. He is hoping for the blessing of showers and praying that they may come right soon. The country was never drier at this time of year.

Editorial Are high school assemblies of any value to the students? They give students practice in public speaking, which will be very beneficial to them later in life. A program is now being carried out by which each club and class is held responsible for one assembly. This gives the different groups a chance to show others what they are accomplishing. Also this will arouse the interest of the students in the school subjects represented by the clubs. Assemblies not only benefit the persons performing, but they are also interesting and often times educational to the audience. This year we have had the privilege of having several very capable out side speakers. The students conducting assem blies now will probably be -helping to conduct the different clubs and lodges of Heppner In the future. Student Council Meeting The meeting was called to order by June Anderson, student body president, and the demerit system planned at the last meeting, Jan uary 27, was confirmed. This plan Is to go into effect Immediately. In this system the teacher takes down the demerits and notifies the stu dent or students receiving a demer it or demerits of his deportment grade at the end of each week. Each demerit takes the student's deportment grade down one-half point; that is, one demerit takes the grade from a 2 minus to a 3 plus and so on down the line. Five demerits cancel a student's name from the eligibility list, which means that the student must take all exams regardless of his grades. The following things warrant de merits: Major: Cheating, throwing things, scuffling, destroying property, talk ing out of turn, bothering others, skipping school, rudeness, unneces sary tardiness, being sent from class; minor: borrowing without permission, removal of paper bas ket chewing gum or eating candy, moving unnecessarily, loafing tn the halls. Any other offense which the teacher may deem serious enough to warrant a demerit. Student Body Assemblies Flanned Starting tomorrow there are to be regular student body assemblies every other Friday. There will be other assemblies, but these are sure. The following organizations iwlll put on the programs as they are to occur: H Club, Booster Club, Home Ec Club, Benzine Ring, Junior class, sophomore class, Commerce Club, freshman class, and senior class. The program at three tomorrow wrri'r , Women of Santa Monica, Calif.,' organiied the first unit of "Buy American" and elected Lucy Hillyer eommander-in-chief, in the move to nationally promote the purchase of American made goods and thus .speed prosperity's return. will be an initiation of some new members of the H Club and the presentation of the football letters. Elections Held All high school classes held mid year elections last Wednesday noon for officers.
