Over Services.
COUNTY GETS HELP
$1000 in Supplier Received; Local
Belief Committee, Swimming In
struction Are Stressed.
Flans to raise $40, Morrow coun
ty's quota for the Ked Cross relief
work in the Los Angeles earthquake
district, were discussed at a meet
ing of the local chapter In Hotel
Heppner Monday afternoon. The
discussion was led by Miss Alida J.
Bigelow, district Red Cross worker.
A unanimous vote In favor of rais
ing the quota was taken, but it was
not deoided just what means will
be used. Direct solicitation, a din
ner, or some form of benefit enter
tainment were suggested.
A report of the chapter's relief
work during the winter revealed
$1000 worth of supplies had been
received from the national organ
ization, including 90 barrels of flour,
1500 yards of cotton goods, and sev
eral dozen made-articles of cloth
ing. Much of this relief had been
distributed, reported Mrs. George
McDuffee and Mrs. Jeff Beamer
who have Jointly administered the
supply. Little necessity was found
for giving assistance in making clo
thing, it was said, with the sewing
committee making but two shirts.
Miss Bigelow reported that $300,000
in cotton supplies and flour had
been received in the state.
Work to Continue.
These supplies" were made avail
able for distribution through the
donation of the raw cotton and
wheat by the federal government
from its market stabilization stores.
The wheat and cotton was exchang
ed with millers and manufacturers
for flour, yard goods and clothing.
More recent contributions have
been sanctioned by congress to car
ry the work through the summer,
Miss Bigelow said, for a portion of
which a requisition was placed by
the local committee.
In discussing the service work of
the local chapter, Miss Bigelow spe
cially stressed organization of a
relief committee to be ready to
function at a moments' notice in
case of local disaster, and investi
gation of the possibility of sending
some local boy or girl to a Red
Cross summer training camp for
swimimers.
A good swimmer should be able
to pass the required tests for issu
ing certificates in one season, she
said. Board and room may be had
at nominal cost, and many towns
have found It beneficial to pay this
expense for some young person of
their community in order to have
a proflolent Instructor at home.
The local relief committee would
check up on transportation, hous
ing, food and labor facilities that
might be available in case of dis
aster. A list of these would oe
made and checked occasionally to
keep it up-to-date. It is the aim
of the national organization to have
such a committee in every local
chapter, said Miss Bigelow, and ex
perience has shown that such com
mittees have been Invaluable in
saving life and property.
Belief Supplementary.
What the Red Cross Is doing In
the Los Angeles district was ex
plained by Miss Bigelow in line with
an announcement just released by
R. E. A'rne, acting manager of the
Pacific branch oftlce in San Fran
cisco. "There must be no confusion or
doubt in the minds of the people
of the Pacific area states as to the
Immediate and imperative need for
the $500,000 Red Cross disaster re
lief fund for the southern Califor
nia earthquake sufferers, said Mm
Arne.
"Reports indicate that 7500 homes
have been destroyed or damaged,
these being principally small frame
homes. The Red Cross, by procla
mation of Governor Rolph of Cal
ifornia, has been named as the offi
cial relief and rehabilitation agen
cy. It is, therefore, responsible!
for continuing emergency care as
well as repairing or rebuilding the
homes of families who are finan
cially unable to take care of their
disaster losses. The relief program
of the Red Cross does not contem
plate or include rehabilitation of
business property or business hous
es damaged or destroyed in the
earthquake.
"The federal appropriation of $5,
000,000, reported as approved by
the senate, is intended for public
works, such as repairs to or re
placement of schools, flrehouses,
city and county buildings, clean-up
work, and repairs to streets, sewer
age systems, etc., in the affected
areas. The $50,000 provided for in
the bill passed by the California
state legislature is to be used to
cover the purchase of food and oth
er supplies. It Is intended this
emergency appropriation shall be
administered by the adjutant gen
eral of California."
The Red Cross urges that contri
butions, no matter how small, be
forwarded at once to the nearest
chapter.

"Besides getting the nation and
world back on a firm economic con
dition this year of 1933, 1 am hoping
that this section of California will
get on a firm foundation one that
does not teeter every 15 minutes of
the day or night," writes Garfield
Crawford, brother of ye editor and
journalist who received early train
ing on the Heppner Gazette, who
tells of his recent earthquake ex
periences in Los Angeles, under
date of March 15, as follows:
"Well, that big shock last Friday
night almost knocked me loose
from my legs. Kitty (Mrs. C.) and
I were home. She had Just taken
her annual bath and was preparing
to start supper. The lights jumped
a little and the house quivered. I
thought one of the big oil trucks
that run up and down our highways
had left the street and was racing
up and down the vacant lot adjoin
ing us. There was a rumble and
then came the real shock. The
apartment settled, much as a dog
does when It comes out of the wa
ter, and then shook. Pictures tum
bled, the clock rolled over, bottles
in the shelves came tumbling down
and the rooms filled-with a fine
powder. I then realized that it was
an earthquake and shouted to
Kitty.

herself between the walls, much as
Sampson did when he pushed the
Mrs. Charles Allinger
Buried at Hood River
Death came to Mrs. Charles Al
linger of lone at the hospital in
Hood River on Wednesday after
noon, March 15, where she had been
since the 8th of November last un
der the constant care of a physi
cian, her brother, John Balslger.
The immediate cause of death was
hardening of the arteries but her
illness developed from an infection
in her foot brought on from a
bruise. After receiving treatment
for a time In Heppner, Mrs. Allin
ger was taken to Hood River where
she went under the care of her
brother and everything humanly
possible was done to check the
spread of the infection and Mrs. Al
linger underwent several operations
In the process of the treatment
some of whdeh gave promise of suc
cess. During this time she exper
ienced great bodily pain and suffer
ing, but bore up under the ordeal
with that patience that comes to
those whose lives have been devot
ed to Christian service.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Anderson undertaking parlor
in Hood River at 10 o'clock Satur
day forenoon, with Doctor Buckley
of the Methodist church in charge,
assisted by Rev. Frank Spaulding,
and interment followed in the cem
etery at Hood River.
Louise Balslger was born at
Pron, 111., October 21, 1861, the eld
est daughter of Ferdinand and Sc
lestine Balsiger, and passed to her
reward at Hood River March 15,
1933, aged 71 years, 4 months and
24 days. She spent her youth in
Highland, 111., where she attended
the public schools, and where, on
December 31, 1891, she was mar
ried to Charles Allinger. The fam
ily home was at St. Louis, Mo., un
til 1800, when they came to Oregon
and located at lone, residing there
since.
Surviving Mrs. Allinger are the
husband and their daughter, Lil
lian; also five brothers: Paul Bal
siger and Louis Balsiger of lone;
Fred Balsiger and Dr. John Bal
slger of White Salmon, Wash., and
Arnold Balsiger of Vancouver,
Wash., all of whom were present
at the funreal servces. Acting as
pall bearers were Wendell, Alfred,
William, Maurice and Alvin Bal
siger, nephews of the deceased,
and Henry Balsiger, a cousin.
Mrs. Allinger was long a member
of the Congregational church at
lone, aid was highly esteemed In
the community as a devoted wife
and mother and a kindly neighbor,
and in her passing the sympathy of
a large circle of friends is extended
to the bereaved husband, daughter
and brothers.

Twilight Ball League
Meeting Tomorrow
Arrival of spring in Heppner has
come as calendared, and the ac
companying baseball urge has re
sulted in a call for fans and Inter
ested players to meet at the Elks
club tomorrow (Friday) evening at
8 o'clock to organize a series of
twilight games and perfect plans
for putting a town team on the
field. Among those talking-up twi
light ball are John Anglin, Dave
Wilson, Mark Merrill, Gay Ander
son, Doc McCrady and Ray Fergu
son, who are instigators of tomor
row's meeting.
It 1b their idea to organize four
teams, if possible, with probably
two of these representing the bus
inesses of the town and made up
of business men, and the other two
to be made up of high school boys
and other young' fellows about
town. They believe there are plen
ty of fellows Interested in playing
to make up the four teams, and
urge that all those who so desire
attend the meeting tomorrow.
The twilight league play is ex
pected to uncover material for a
team to represent Heppner either
in the Wheatland league, if it is re
vived again this year, or in such
independent games as may be
scheduled, or possibly teams for
both. A series of twilight games a
few years ago has left a pleasant
memory in the minds of many of
the fellows who played then, when
it was revealed that the fellow who
likes baseball is never too young
or too old to try to play, and when
it was found that some of the fel
lows who thought they were too old
were still good enough to play m
fast competition.
Heppner-Pilot Rock Drop
Matches for First Time
Heppner-Pilot Rock shooters sus
tained their first defeats Sunday in
the eighth annual Oregonian. trap
shooting tournament now in prog
ress. Lewiston and Corvallis, each
with perfect scores of 75, were the
two victorious teams, the first-named
beating the locals in a tie match
from the previous Sunday. The lo
cal hyphenated aggregation still
holds a favorable position near the
head of the percentage column,
with nine wins and two defeats.
A. D. McMurdo with a perfect 25
score represented Heppner on Sun
day's team, with G. C. Bracher, 25,
and William Koppe, 24, represent
ing Pilot Rock for a total score of
74. The three high guns on the
first 25 birds are picked each Sun
day for the club score. Besides
breaking his first 25 birds, McMur
do went straight through 50 more
to make a perfect day of it for him
self. Other local shots who have
been represented on the team with
perfect scores to date are Chas. H.
Latourell, Adam Knoblock and
Glen Hayes. In the Initial round
of the tournament eight years ago,
Heppner won the shoot-off match
and brought home the big silver
loving cup which must be won three
consecutive times for permanent
possession.

People of Heppner are being re
minded of the school band concert

of the band who are putting on a

A billion and a half dollars in rev

brewers arent so sure about this
figure as they calculate the two

With defeat of the Oregon beer
bill in the senate, regulation in this
state will be on a purely local op
tion basis. Dame Rumor has it
that pencils of city dads are being
sharpened for the purpose of de
termining how much, if any, rev

in Heppser.
Of course the constitutionality of
3.2 percent beer is yet to be deter

can personally sympathize with

local flood relief agency was not

TURNER TELLS LIONS
ABOUT LEG1SLALURE
Dirty Digs of Press Held
Unjustified; 2-House
System Upheld.
HEARINGS RAPPED
Speaker and Committee Chairmen
Praised; Club Extends Eyesight
Work, Hears Scrip Success,
The longest session, the 37th reg
ular legislative session was one of
the most economical, and from the
standpoint of accomplishment in
one of the most trying times it is
marked as one of the most outsand-
lng sessions in the state's history.
J. O. Turner, representative from
the 22nd legislative "district, made
this assertion before the Lions club
at its Monday luncheon, saying, "I
deemed it to have been a privilege
indeed to have been permitted to
look in on this session."
Representative Turner talked on
the topic, "On the Inside Looking
Out," as the main program feature,
touching mostly on such highlights
of the session with which he came
most intimately in contact
The club voted to extend its eye
sight saving work in line with the
major project of Lions Internation
al, by giving aid to two afflicted
children In the local schools.
"While the major project of the in
ternational association is termed
blind work, it recognizes that pre
serving the sight of those who can
see is as essential as helping the
sightless," Spencer Crawford, pres
ident, told the club members.
Announcement was made by S. E.
Notson, program chairman, of a
meeting of Morrow County chapter,
American Red Cross, on the follow
ing evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the southern California
earthquake relief. Mr. Notson also
related some experiences in connec
tion with a trip to Portland and
Salem last week.
Hospital Cut Unfortunate,
Going to Portland with the party
of which Mr. Notson was a mem
ber was a little girl who was threat
ened with loss of her eyesight whom
the club is assisting. She was af
forded great relief by treatment re
ceived at the Doernbecher hospital,
Mr. Notson said, while lamenting
the fact that the state's economy
program has so curtailed the ser
vices of the hospital as to have
made it impossible for the little girl
to stay there all the time she was
in the city for care and attention.
As it was it was necessary for her
to stay at a hotel and make a trip
to the hospital each day. .
Mr. Notson said he encountered
a good demand for Heppner Sheep
skin scrip. At Salem he saw James
M. Burgess, assistant superinten
dent of public instruction and for
mer president of the local Lions
club, and learned from him that he
expected to visit Heppner some
time the fore part of April.
The legislature was in session 65
days, and while it was slow getting
under way, Mr. Turner voiced crit
icism of the newspapers who at the
very beginning started slinging
mud at its personnel and activities,
thus making its work more difficult
by undermining public confidence.
The districts' representative up- -
held the present legislative system.
In the face of what he said to be a
widespreading demand for a single
house assembly. The two-house sys
tem is a good safeguard to the fair
enactment of laws, he said, with
the house and senate each weeding
out many freak laws originating in
the otner. He was emphatic in say
ing that the present system with its
beginning in constitutional times
should be maintained.
Lobby Said Necessary
Without attempt to excuse thn
evils of the system, Mr. Turner re
ferred to the lobby as an essential
adjunct to lawmaking. He found
it useful to himself while not com
ing in contact with any attempts
at bribery, and said he would never
sanction any move for Its abolish
ment Hieh comDliment was nald tn
Earl W. Snell, speaker of the house,
who he said was very fair at all
times, handling the chair without
criticism either on tha InnMo nr
from without the legislature. His
capability was shown by the fact
that onlv once was there an unnml
from his ruling, and in that instance
his decision was upheld by the
members.
Esneciallv did he commend Mr
Snail's rood iudirment in mnklno-
committee appointments. In every
case tne major committees were
headed by capable men with mem
bership including fair representa
tion from different sections of the
state. Mr. Allen of Wallowa, ways
and means; Mr. McCornack of
Lane, taxation and revenue; Mr.
Winslow of Tillamook, highways
and Highway revenues, and Mr.
Lonergan, judiciary, were given
SDeclal mention for tha vttnr nnH
intelligence displayed In handling
tne worn or wnat Mr. Turner said
were the four major committees.
It is in committee work thnt th
legislator has his hardest job, said
tne representative, and examples
of the handling of some of the ma
jor bills in the committees of which
he was a member were given to
show why this is so. He stressed
