BIG Til PROMISED
FDR NIGHT OF OCT. 20
Library Stunt Show Calls
Forth Great Array of
Community Talent.
MANY GROUPS TO AID
Tickets to be on Sale Next Week;
Scout Patrols to Compete for
Prize In Contest Again.
All sorts of goings-on are being
reported from behind closed doors
this week as members of the va
rious organizations in Heppner and
surrounding towns are going into
rehearsal for the big event of the
year the Library Stunt Night to
be held this year on Oct. 20.
This year's stunt night will be
the third in succession, and each
of the others has been a decided
success, both from the entertain
ment and financial standpoints.
Each year about sixteen stunts have
appeared on the program, and there
will probably be about that num
ber this year. Some will be musical,
some of a strictly comedy nature,
but certain it is that all of them
will be good. Among other rumors
reaching the ears of the stunt com
mittee is one to the effect that one
of the town's leading male citizens,
a member of the city council, in
fact, will be cast as "the lady that's
known as Lou" in a highly dramat
ic number 'to be put on by the
American Legion.
The Business and Professional
Women's club is rehearsing a black
face stunt to be called "The Camp
Meeting," and entirely different but
also with a blackface motif will be
the Lions' club offering, which will
feature their quartet. The Rebekah
lodge has asked Mary Moore to
sing as their representative.
Members of the Bookworms club
are promising a stunt based on
some old familiar stories which
will be briefly dramatized for the
audience. The Eastern Star will
feature a piano solo by Kathryn
Parker. Heppner lodge of Elks
have a stunt committee working.
This year for the first time the
Lexington, lone and Hardman com
munities have been asked to take
part In the stunt night, and each
of them plans to contribute one
number to the program. Laurel
Beach will sing for the Lexington
entry.
The American Legion auxiliary
is promising a number, though its
exact nature has not been divulged.
The churches usually participate in
the program, but have not yet an
nounced their plans. The Boy
Scouts have been asked to take
part.
The high school faculty is work
ing up a mysterious stunt which
will undoubtedly baffle thex audi
ence. The Degree of Honor Juven
iles have the promise of a recita
tion, "Girl on the Telephone," by
Dean Goodman, Jr., as their offer
ing. The adult lodge, Degree of
Honor, is also planning to furnish
a stunt but the title has not been
chosen. Neighbors of Woodcraft
will again furnish a number for
the program.
The official dress rehearsal for
all organizations participating in
the show will be held Thursday eve
ning, Oct 19, at the auditorium.
Stunt chairmen wishing to arrange
for previous rehearsals on the
stage may do so by seeing J. T.
Lumley, who will have charge of
the stage for the event. Each group
Is to furnish its own properties nd
to remove them after the show.
Tickets, which will be 30 cents
for adults and 15 cents for chil
dren, will be on sale at Gordon's
confectionery next week. They
will also be sold by a Boy Scout
committee consisting of one scout
from each patrol. A prize will be
given the scout selling the largest
number of tickets.
Proceeds of the show'wlll be used
to buy new books for the library
this being practically the library's
only source of funds for the pur
chase of books.

Freak Hunter's Trophy on
Display at Local Store
Attracting much interest in Gil
liam & Bisbee's window is a pair
of deer horns which were brought
into town by Milt Spurlock after
he and Mrs. Spurlock found them
in the woods during the course of
a week-end hunting trip. The
horns, with the skeleton attached,
were suspended from the forked
trunk of a willow tree in the Tup
per Butte district near Bull Prai
rie. The buck, a four-pointer, had
apparently been rubbing his horns
in the willow when they became
lodged In the crotch between two
sections of the trunk in such a po
sition as to make his extrication al
most impossible.
Evidence showed that theb uck
had put up a mighty game strug
gle which ended only when his neck
broke. One point of his horns had
been broken off in the struggle.
Coyotes had picked th(K carcass
nearly clean. Mr. Spurlock thinks
the animal must have met his mis'
hap within the last couple of
months.
Local hunters have evidenced
much interest in the specimen, say
ing they have only heard about
such happenings before now, but
seeing is believing.

A Tryst With God.
Last night I kept a tryst with God
Beneath the deep blue sky;
The stars that brightly twinkled
Were like candles there on high.
The scent of earth and woodland
As incense slowly rose,
And the breeze that softly mur
mured Sang a hymn at Vespers close.
Oh, I know that God was with me,
Although I did not see Him there,
For my troubled heart found solace
In that scented, star-lit prayer.

By BEULAH B. NICHOLS.

October 25, beginning at 7:30 o'
clock in the high school auditor
ium. The association president is
sending out the following letter for
thte benefit of those who are not
familiar with the P. T. A.: "All par.
ents are considered members of the
association whether they pay dues
or not, and are very welcome at
all meetings. But we believe that
every family is enough benefitted
by the work of the association to
justify the request for dues. We
wish you would all feel that this is
your association; that you would
come to the meetings and give one
another the benefit of your criti
cism, advice and inspiration. Why
join the P. T. A.: 1. Because it
brings parents and teachers to
gether for an exchange of ideas;
nlaking better parents, better
teachers and happier children. 2.
Because no group can so influence
public opinion and public school
officials as an interested, enthusias
tic group of parents and teachers.
3. Because it is an educational
movement of real significance.
What becomes of your P. T. A.
dues? Twenty cents is sent to the
state council for P. T. A. magazine
and state dues. All other funds
are used in our "school for helping
finance the hot lunch." At this
next meeting the Boy Scouts and
4-H club girls will entertain you.
You are urged to come.
