Editorial
How many of us know why Oc
tober 12 is a red letter date on the
calendar? How many of us think
of Columbus with more than the
date, 1492, in mind?
October 12 is set aside for the
observance of one of the most dar
ing of exploits the discovery of
America. When Columbus left
Spain he was leaving the world be
hind and going out into a myster
ious ocean farther than anyone had
ever gone.
Today it is difficult to consider the
crossing of the Atlantic as an un
usual feat we cross it by airplam
in about forty hours. It took Co
lumbus six months to reach the
West Indies. Today it is difficult
to think of luxurious Bermuda or
pictures of agriculture and it has
beautiful Havana as a home of sav
ages and wild animals.
Columbus' discovery in 1492 had
to do with making the West Indies
brought us to the point of civiliza
tion where we look at fifteenth
century history only as a possible
fact-fiction.
On October 12 we should compare
and contrast the two civilizations
and at the same time bear in mind
our debt to Columbus as the init
iator of the present regime.
Heppner high school sophomores
administered the annual initiation
to the "greenies" last Friday night
at the gymnasium. The sopho
mores were quite successful in their
united efforts to humiliate the un
derclassmen. Certain members of
the first year class were compelled
to amuse the large audience of par
ents and upperclassmen. Freshman
embarrassment was the main cause
of laughter.
Heppner's first and second teams
of the "Fighting Irish" football
squad defeated both Echo and Lex
ington in the doubleheader prac
tice games played on the home field
last Friday. The scores were:
Heppner 13, Echo 0; Heppner 16,
Lexington 0.
The games revealed some good
material which until Friday had
escaped the notice of the coach.
Leonard Gilman got away several
good punts, one of which netted 75
yards; other outstanding features
were Billy Cochell's line bucking at
fullback, and Howard Furlong's and
Owen Bleakman's good work in the
line.
Curtis Thomson and Johnny Han
na set some good examples for the
other players in their excellent
blocking and interference.
The game with Condon, which
was to have been played at Condon
Saturday, has been cancelled be
cause of the epidemic of infantile
paralysis which caused the closing
of the Condon schools.
The second team is to play a re
turn game with Lexington at Lex
ington this afternoon.
Attempts are being made to
schedule a game for Heppner's first
team with either the Moro or Pasco
high school team to be played to
morrow. Pep Rally Thursday
In order to arouse enthusiasm
for the doubleheader football game
played between the Heppner squad
and the teams from Echo and Lex
ington Friday afternoon, the high
school student body accompanied
by the pep band held a rally that
paraded the main streets for some
thirty minutes last Thursday night.
SOME RIDE
It was one of the most orderly
and effective rallies held in some
years. Selected members of the
student body formed a huge H. This
H, led by the school band and fol
lowed by the rest of the students,
who were arranged in squads, pa
raded from the postofhce to the
First National bank intersection.
At each intersection enroute songs
were sung, yells were given, and
pep pieces were played by the band.

Forest Service Notes.
By F. F. WEHMEYER.
Our local E. C. W. terminates
this week. The personnel is split
ting up and being sent in small
groups here and there but none of
them to the Virgin Islands for the
winter as so many had fondly
dreamed. Camp 1245, Bull Prairie,
has broken up and disbanded. Cap
tain Hugh C. Parker has command
ed this unit throughout and by per
sonal fair dealing coupled with the
excellent cooperation of his assist
ants, brought the camp from a dis
orderly rabble to a state of disci
pline. Capt. Parker and his aides
bent every effort toward coopera
tion with the Forest Service in an
endeavor to get the maximum ef
ficiency from the men and the
members of the Forest Service have
sincerely appreciated working with
these representatives of the U. S.
army and the U. S. navy.
It is expected that the loose ends
and partly finished jobs dropped by
the breaking up of the E. C. W. in
this locality will be undertaken
under the N. I. R. A. program now
