HISTORICAL SOCIETY OREGON PUBLIC AUDITORIUM PORTLAND. ORE. Volume 50, Number 14 HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, June 15, 1933 Subscription $2.00 a Year mmtttt CITY B1TI1 IIIJOU) LIONS B. P. W. Club President Appeals for Individual Cooperation. SWEEK BACKS MOVE Arrangements Discussed for Enter taining Portland Chamber Jun ket This Afternoon. A city beautiful is the goal out lined to the Lions club Monday by Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, president of Heppner Business and Professional Womens club, whose remarks were supported by C. L. Sweek, circuit judge and second president of the Lions club, now of Pendleton. Judge Sweek was warmly received by his former fellow club members while in the city to preside over the June term of court. S. E. Notson, program chairman, announced that he had received word from a friend in Portland that a junket from the Portland cham ber of commerce would be in Hepp ner this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock. Though no official no tice of the visit had been received by either Mr. Notson, chairman of the local commercial club, or by Gay M. Anderson, mayor, the mat ter was left in their hands to ar range for the reception of the jun ket. It was said official nptice had been received by the mayor of Lex ington that the junket would be there as well as at lone and Hepp ner today, and would stop for fif teen minutes each at lone and Lex ington, and for one hour in Hepp ner. Complimenting those residents of the city whose lawns and gar dens now present a well-kept and attractive appearance, Mrs. Rod gers appealed for further steps tow ard beautiflcation of Heppner thru application of individual initiative. Flowering plants and shrubs are Inexpensive and the application of considerable labor Is the largest re quirement of the individual prop erty holder to make a beauty spot of his premises. She told of a movement that has been carried forward aiming at the beautiflcation of the roadsides of Oregon, which idea was taken up by the business womens club with the thought of giving it local appli cation. The idea is to appeal to the civic pride of the individual to ob tain the cooperation of all owners and renters alike to join in the city beautiful movement. Not only does a beautiful city make a more favorable impression on visitors, but it has a great ef fect for good on the city's own peo ple. Children especially are large ly Influenced by their environment, said Mrs. Rodgers, and few have been known to go wrong in beauti ful surroundings. Once they are engaged in the growing and care of lawns and flowers, she believed residents, too, find it a source of great enjoyment The services of children of the family can be im pressed in the work of beautiflca tion, and they, too, will get much enjoyment from it, she said, while learning to have respect for the lawns and flowers of others. Mr. Sweek said the appearance of a town largely reflects the na ture of the people who inhabit it, but sometimes it seems that closer acquaintanceship with the people of a town tends to bring out more fully the beauty of the surround ings. He cited advantages of liv ing in a small town. It is refresh ing to be able to go to the moun tains for a picnic with the know ledge that the grounds to be visited are Nature's own, uncontaminated by multitudes of visitors, affording privacy and freedom such as is not obtainable nearer the larger cen ters of population. Spencer Crawford, Lions presi dent, commended the city beauti ful plan, saying that the club's ex ecutive committee already had in mind staging a campaign to clean up vacant lots of the city, which would fit In well with the move ment. FIRE AT BOWERS HOUSE. Fire at the Clarence Bowers house In south Heppner, recently vacated by the Lester Hurt family, was discovered by Clarence Bau man about 1:30 o'clock Friday morning, and in response to the alarm turned In by him the fire de partment arrived to find the house In a mass of flames. The fire proved stubborn and extensive damage was done to the house before the flame3 were subdued. The house being va cant the origin of the fire was a mystery. A check up did not un cover any Insurance carried locally. The owner of the property had not teen in the city for some time. DOG PENALTY ON FIRST.

(Continued on Page Six) Ill SCHEDULE ONLY TEMPORARY Change Made to Accom modate Sheep Ship ments Says Official. REVERSION SLATED F. N. Finch, O.-W. R. & N. General Manager, Replies to Protest; Condon Situation Differs. The train schedule on the local O.-W. R. & N. branch line in force since June 2, anent which a remon strance was recently made by the people of Heppner, is only tempor ary. Assurance or tms was given this week by F N. Finch, general manager, in a letter to J. O. Tur ner, chairman of the Lions commit tee circulating the remonstrance petition. 'The change in train service to which you refer is only temporary to continue during the period lambs and sheep are moving eastward," writes Mr. Finch. "The shippers working in cooperation with John Smeed who operates the feed yard at Caldwell are insistent that these sheep be moved through to Cald well for the first feed. With our present limited freight service this is impossible. Therefore, we re vised the train service to enable them to load in the morning and move to Heppner Junction to con nect with passenger train No. 20 which will then handle their sheep and without question make Cald well for the first feed. "As soon as this sheep movement is over with the service will again be reestablished as it was prior to June 1st. "We made the same arrangement on the Condon branch but when we made a recheck we found that the number of cars of sheep which or iginated on that branch was so small, particularly as compared to the Heppner branch, that we changed the service back. The sheep business is so important a part of the Heppner branch, how ever, that we' feel that the best in terests of all will be served by this change in service, particularly in view of the fact that it is only tem porary during the sheep shipping season." Plunge Opens Monday ; Buhman to Have Charge C. J. D. Bauman and Elbert Cox, committee in charge of the Amer ican Legion plunge, announce that plans are being made to have the tank ready for opening next Mon day. No admission charge will be made on the opening day. Harold Euhman, eighth grade instructor in the local schools, who had charge of the tank last year, will again be in charge, arriving Tues day from a visit to his home at Canby to help with preparations. Swim charges have been an nounced for the season at a reduq tlon from those made last season, as 'follows: single swims, children 10c, high school age 15c, adults 20c; 12 swims, children 75c, high school age $1, adults $1.50. Special rates will be made for evening swimming parties. The tank will be open each day from 10 to 12 a. m., from 2 to 5 and from 6 to 9 p. m. Swim ming classes will be held on Tues days and Thursdays. PLANT CHANGES HANDS. Coming in the nature of a pro motion to both Hugh Snider, retir ing manager, and John Turner, who has succeeded to the manage nient, was the change In manage ment of the local Union Oil Co. p'lant this week. Mr. Turner, who has been located at Pendleton for two months, with Mrs. Turner, re turned this week to make their home here, while Mr, and Mrs. Sni der and children departed yester day for La Grande where Mr. Sni der will have a like position with the company. The Sniders came here from La Grande two years ago and made many friends who extend them well wishes. In turn Mr. and Mrs. Snider extend their thanks for the pleasant business and social relations enjoyed during their residence here. FAMILY REUNION ENJOYED The home of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Smith in this city was the scene of an enjoyable reunion of the family of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Devin, par ents of Mrs. Smith, on Sunday.

Scott, Mr. and Mrs. James Leach, Mrs. W. H. Hofstetter and daugh ter Otlllia, Mr. and Mrs. M, J. Dev in and O. A. Devin. The occasion, while enjoyed, was marred to a degree by Injuries which Mrs, Devin sustained in fall at her ranch home Thursday, resulting, in her left arm being broken and the wrist joint being dislocated. Gus Williamson, noted for his literary proclivities, was In from the R. A. Thompson farm over Monday, He expects to hit for the mountains with the Thompson sheep about the loth, IfMIIMIIIllllllllllllllltlllllltltlllMIIIMIIIIItlllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIU GRIST : From Happenings Here and Yon I Concerning A Matter of Opinion Reaching for the Towel I Signs of Heat and other things of more or less moment as seen by I The G. T. REPORTER I (jrl3t has become tamous. Last week Fossil Journal editor Sim mons' son Bill utilized a column of space In his father's newspaper. Ap ing Grist head style, he vituperated at length on Gazette Times report er's comment anent Neanderthal ithic proclivities of Fossil umpire in Heppner-Fosail ball game. Meanest dig was Columnist Bill's expose of Grist-grinder Crawford's ball-playing ability. We doubt if Fossil Journal read ers know Jasper as does Bill; may fail to appreciate the space given him. Gazette Times readers are better informed; need not be told from whom opinionated stories come; are expected to take them for what they are worth. . Grist pleads guilty to the charge of weeping and walling, made by funny-son Bill. Further inclination to reach for the towel is engender ed this week by allocation of forest road funds. First in the list of projects voted by state highway commission to be aided from latest federal relief money is Pendleton's pet and ex pensive John Day North and South highway. In the majority are pro jects in Umatilla and Lane counties, respective homes of highway com missioners Aldrich and Washburne. Not mentioned is the Heppner Spray road. Nor were Heppner people informed of the highway meeting at which such action was taken. Mr. Aldrich recently visited Heppner-Spray road ; appeared friendly; said commission was sold on merits of route. Heppner people would appreciate the opportunity to present their case before all the luodey is gone. Just now a towel is needed for perspiration as well as for tears. Old Sol's beams started to bear down Tuesday, beginning to reflect the heat wave that ravaged east and middle west. Mercury has top ped the ninety mark for two day3, marking early arrival of summer. Some damage to wheat is feared. Heppner welcomes visit from Portland chamber of commerce caravan today. , Having received no official noti fication, no definite object of its visit is known. One may wonder if Portland is desirous of holding another world's fair; or whether the folks down in the city just want to see what effect the "New Deal" is having out in the "sticks." Yesterday was more than Flag day in Heppner. Many were led to recall that just 30 years ago, on June 14, 1903, a great catastrophe visited the city. For those who lost loved ones in the flood the years have but mellowed their sorrows. Good news this week, especially to the youth of Heppner, is the an nouncement of the opening of the American Legion plunge Monday. There may be a few mothers who will say, "Yes, Jimmie, you may go swimming, but don't go near the water." Baker Youth Cracks Plane In Forced Landing Here Bill Burke of Baker, student at Oregon State college, cracked-up the plans In which he was flying home from Corvallis in a forced landing made near the Frank S. Parker farm just below Heppner about 4 o'clock Sunday evening He was flying at an altitude of 5000 feet when the engine started missing and he was forced down. Damage to the plnne was caused by hitting a knoll on the ground which threw it over on Its nose, breaking the propeller and slightly damaging the fuselage. Burke was not injured. A check-up after the landing led the youthful pilot to believe that water In the gasoline caused the engine to miss. He made prepara tions to send the plane to Portland for repairs and went on to Baker where he is engaged in the clean ing and pressing business. Chas. II. Adams Found Dead at Wood Camp Chas. H. Adams was found dead at his wood camp, about two miles above the mouth of Chapen creek on the Heppner-Spray road, accord ing to report reaching Heppner just before noon today. He was a man around 50 years of age, and whether death was from natural causes has not yet been determined. Dr. McMurdo, coroner, is out of town, and Sheriff Bnuman will look into the case. Ad ams was unmarried, and had been alone at the cump. RURAL DISTRICTS TO SELECT Bt Non - High School Body Provided Under New State Law.

The candidate receiving the most votes becomes a member of the board for five years. The one receiving next to the most votes holds office for four years, and the others in like order, so that only one member's term expires each year.

The non-high school board of ed ucation is empowered to enter into written contracts not later than July 15 of each year with any dis trict maintaining a standard high school, for the tuition of the high school pupils of the non-high school districts qualified for entrance to grades above the eighth; and to enter into contracts with such dis tricts or join with such districts in contracts for the transportation of said high school pupils. It is the duty of the board to levy a tax each year for the pay ment of claims for high school tui tion and transportation; to issue warrants on the county treasurer for the payment of tuition and transportation claims, and to make such reports as shall be required by the state superintendent and the county superintendent. It shall provide polling places in each elementary district for all school elections; appoint judges and clerks; arrange for all such elections, and thereafter canvas3 all votes and declare the results thereof.

Only 63 high schools in Oregon nre stand ardized out of a total of 266. Recognition of a high school as "standard" is based upon good scholastic standards, well trained and well prepared teachers, and an acceptable school plant. The Ore gon committee which passes upon the qualifications of schools for standardization is James M. Bur gess, E. F, Carlton and J. T. Long fellow. HARUATT OUTHOUSE BURNS. An outhouse at the Garnet Barratt farm caught fire Monday forenoon and burned to the ground, causing an alarm to be sounded in town and many townspeople as well as the fire truck to respond.

Where the Teams Play Next Sun day: Fossil at Heppner; Blalock at lone, Arlington at Condon. With two games to go In the Wheatland league pennant race, Heppner has stepped definitely into second place by defeating Blaloak on the local lot Sunday, 10-8, Just one niche behind Fossil and Arling ton, now in a tie at the top. The deciding test will come next Sun day when Fossil comes to Heppner and Arlington goes to Condon. Should Heppner beat Fossil and Condon beat Arlington, Heppner, Fossil and Arlington would go into a three-way tie for first place, which is entirely within the realm of possibility. Should the locals lose to the visiting Fossilites, then Heppner would be out of the run ning for the pennant, with a bare possibility for second place honors at the finish. Anyway, it is a hot race, not at all decided as yet Arlington treated Fossil to their second defeat Sun day, 6-4, while Condon again took lone, 6-3. Sunday's game locally was one of those things, with enough good plays thrown in with the bad to keep fans wide awake and enthu siastic. Right off the bat Akers, H. Gentry, Robertson and R. Gentry connected for four successive sin gles, which assisted by three Bla- -lock bobbles, netted three runs. A brace of three-baggers by Roy Gen try and Bucknum scored one more in the third inning. In the fourth Akers singled, H. Gentry walked, Robertson lined out a double bag ger and Roy Gentry connected for his second three-bagger of the game for three more tallies. Roy made his fourth hit in as many trips at bat in the seventh, starting another rally, which com bined with Thomson's walk and hits by Hayes and Ferguson, net ted two more. H. Gentry's hit in the ninth and a brace of Blalock errors let in another for the local's total of ten. Harold Gentry started on the mound for Heppner, and was relieved in the seventh by Robert son. Blalock's runs came two In the second, one in the third, one in the fifth, two in the sixth, one in the eighth and one In the ninth inn ings.
