PAGE FOUR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 19, 1933. Life . in its living A good man died last Sunday. The world had never heard of him. The newspapers never printed his pic ture. He lived simply, in a small town; thriftily, on a small income. But thousands of officers of the United States Army knew him as a friend and wise counselor when they were young cadets at West Point, where he was one of the minor members of the academic staff. He was content to work hard, to serve his church and his communi ty, to live without vices or bad hab its, and get his satisfactions in life through lending a helping hand to others. I cannot escape the feeling that hsi sixty years on earth left humanity somehow better than it was. I shall never lose the scar his passing has left, but I shall always be proud to have had such a man as my brother. Boom . . . due in building The next big boom will be a build ing boom. I think it has already begun, in spots, and if I am any good at reading the signs of the times, we'll be putting up new houses and rebuilding old ones all over the United States by next Spring. Driving around the country roads near my farm, in one day recently I counted seven new houses and five barns that were under construe' tion, all of them in one township of less than 2,000 inhabitants. And I noticed the same day a report in a New York newspaper that building materials were leading all other commodities in increased sales. We have to rebuild the whole country every forty years. We are away behind our normal building program. When we start in earn est to take up the slack, that indus try alone, with all the other indus tries that contribute to it, will as sure prosperity for several years. Fires . . in hard times I had to renew the three-year Are insurance policy on my house and barns the other day. My policies are in a mutual company operating mostly in one county. I found that the usual dividend returnable to policy-holders had been cut to a quarter of what it used to be. "Hard times," the insurance ag ent explained. "Always more fire losses in hard times." I began to wonder whether the worst effect of hard times is not the loss of moral fibre, more than the loss of money. I don't know that any of the fires in our town the past two years was anything but an ac cident, but I feel pretty sure that some people whom everybody, in cluding themselves, have always be lieved to be honest, have found it beyond them to resist temptation under stresS. Artist . . . neighbor Dan People drive from miles around to see the gardens of my neighbor, Daniele Roviaro. Daniele learned gardening in his native Italy. He was chief gardener of a large es tate for many years. Now, in his old age, he has made the acre of land around his little cottage into one of the most beautiful and pro ductive flower and vegetable gar dens I have ever seen. He has laid out his hillside plot into interesting designs and has built odd-shaped islands in the clear brook at the bottom of the hill, producing an effect as attractive as the terraced mountain-side farms of his native land. In the winter Daniele devotes himself to wood-carving. A sculp tured Madonna carved from a block of sugar maple won a place in the county Art Exhibition last Sum mer. He carves native woods into interesting canes and other shapes, and prizes a letter from President Roosevelt thanking him for a cane he sent him. I think Daniele Roviaro is the only perfect example I have known of a contented man. Scott . . . and his hands When I was a boy the United States Army was pretty busy fight ing Indians. I remember when the Custer Massacre was news, and Sit ting Bull and other famous chiefs, including Geronimo, the Apache were giving Uncle Sam plenty of trouoie. What reminded me of that was seeing a piece In the paper about ueneral Hugh Scott He was a young lieutenant when he was out West with the Indian fighters, but unlike some Army men, he tried to understand the Indians and get ineir point or view. So, among oth er inings, He learned the sign lan guage which was common to all the Indians of the Great Plains. The Apaches named Scott "Man-Who-Can-Talk-With-His-Hands." Scott retired from the Army in 1919, and celebrated his 80th birth day last month. But In the past three years he has been putting on paper, in picture and description, the ancient sign language of the vanishing Indians, and now he is at work making them into motion pic tures. A useful, busy and interesting young man or eighty! According to the reports of the census takers, the women at th seaside this summer were but In a bare majority. Report Indicates KOAC j Best Educational Radio That the state-owned radio sta tion, KOAC, is now the first rank ing station in the United States in point of time devoted to education al and non-commercial programs, and in scope of the educational field covered, is shown by the annual re port of the station for 1932-33 re cently submitted by W. L. Kadder ly, manager of the station. Though the station is located at Oregon State college, it drew its program material this last year from all of the institutions in the system, from six other colleges or universities, from four federal de partments, eleven departments of the state government and 35 public or semi-public institutions or or ganizations. Analysis of the time devoted to various classes of programs given in the report shows that 55 per cent of the time was devoted to educa tional broadcasts. Music took up 40.5 per cent of the time, athletic contests accounted for 1 per cent, religious broadcasts 1 per cent. and other miscellaneous programs such as debates, convocations and dramatics 2 per cent. The farm hours accounted for 19 of the 55 per cent of time in edu cational broadcasts and homemak er hours for 14 per cent. The re mainder was divided over the whole field of human interest Reports from listeners show that the Willamette valley inculing Port land have most of KOAC's audi ence, followed by southern Oregon, the coast region, central Oregon, Blue mountain region, and Colum bia basin in that order. In the Willamette valley, Marion, Lane and Linn counties lead in total re' sponse. The extent to which KOAC is rec ognized nationally as a factor in radio education is shown in the re port in accounts of the visit to Or egon of Eugene J. Coltrane, special representative of the National Com mittee on Education by radio. He said the station is unique as a non commercial station having unlim ited time and a most desirable fre quency, and predicted that it will become increasingly important as a factor in educational extension in this state. My Idea of shell-shock Is some thing that the cock suffers when he cracks open an ancient egg.

All the pent-up envy of the little town for one who has dared to outgrow it, gathered itself into a roar. They surged forward hurry ing him through the main street to the edge of a preoipice where they would have thrown him over. But the wrath which had been sufficient to conceive his destruction grew suddenly impotent when he turned and faced them. They shrank back, and before they could reform their purpose he had passed through the midst of them and was on his way. In his ears sounded the buzz of malicious comment, but he was too heart-sick to look back. From henceforth Capernaum became "his own oity." Nazareth, the home of his youth, the dwelling place of his boyhood friends and neighbors, had given its verdict He had come unto his own, and Famous British Train Will Visit Portland - The Royal Scot express, famous ace train of the London Midland and Scottish railway, which has been one of the most popular ex hibits at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago, will make a post-exposition tour of the West and will be on display in Portland, Wednesday, October 25, according to announcement just made. The train will arrive in Portland from San Francisco Wednesday morning and will be open for free inspection by the general public at Northwest Hoyt and Northwest Eighth avenue, one block west of Broadway, from 10:00 a. m. until 9:00 p. m. The train will be comprised of a locomotive and tendere, third class brake carriage, third class vestibule car, electric kitchen car, first class vestibule car, first class lounge car, third class sleeping car, first class sleeping car and first class corri dor brake carriage. This will be standard equipment as used daily by the Royal Scot in her 400 mile dash each way daily between Lon day, Glasgow and Edinburgh. More than 2,000,000 visitors have inspected the train since it was first thrown open to visitors at Montreal on May 1. After being landed by boat in Montreal the train traveled 3181 miles under its own steam to Chicago for the ex position. A post-exposition tour of 8,562 miles through the mid-west, Pacific coast and Canada was ar ranged after thousands of requests had been received from the west. The tour will end at Montreal No vember 12, when the train will be dismantled for shipment home. Daily schedule of the Royal Scot in England requires that the train shall cover the 401 miles between London and Glasgow in 475 minutes. PRINCIPALS' MEET SLATED. The Oregon High School Princi pals' conference will hold its fifth annual meeting in Salem on Octo ber 20 and 21. This meeting con venes every year in the House of Representatives for two days, when problems of all kinds relative to the high schools of the state are dis cussed. Originally begun in 1929 by State Superintendent C. A. Howard as a means of discussing high school problems, it has developed into the most Important conference of sec ondary school men that takes place during the entire year, and the high regard in which it is held is attest ed by the fact that over fifty per cent of the high school principals of the state attend. Important con tributions to secondary education in the shape of scientific studies of high school problems have been made by committees under the di rection oX this association. Officers are elected annually from the high school principals and hold their positions for one year, during which time they direct the activities of the association. This year Rex Putnam, superintendent of the Al bany schools, Is president of the as sociation, and as such he has had an active part in forming the pro gram and assisting in the general management of the affairs of the association for the past year. Sev eral important committees have been at work during the entire past year upon various features of the work of the principals' association, and the program promises to be one of unusual interest and value. Edward F. Bloom, superintendent of the Heppner schools, will attend the conference this year. In 1931 the cost of government was $107.37 per capita, or 28 per cent of the Income of the American people. Leo Gorger and his sister, Mrs. Willamina Ramsey, were In Hepp ner Sunday. his own received him not ! The brothers of Jesus had been witnesses of his defeat, and were left behind by him to bear the Ig nominy of it How the sardonic laughter must have rung in their ears! These home town sneers were bad enough, but the reports that came back from other towns threw the simple unimaginative family in to a panic. It was said that he made seditious speeches; that he claimed to have a special relationship to God; that he utterly disregarded the code of the Pharisees and denounced them op enly before the crowds. Such con duct could mean only one thing. He would get himself into jail, and his relatives with him. Hence the members of his family who should have been his best help ers spent their energy in the effort to get him to go farther away from home. "For even his brethren did not believe in him." He was teaching one day in Cap ernaum to a crowd that hung spell bound on his words, when suddenly an Interruption occurred. A mes senger pushed through the audience to tell him that his mother and brothers were outside and insisted on speaking to him right away. A quick look of pain shot across his fine face. He knew why they had come. They had made up their minds that he was just a little bit out of his head, and they were de- termined to shut him up in an asy lum before his extravagances NOTICE OF HEARING ON NON-HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Budget Committee of the Non-high School District of Morrow County. State of Oregon, at a meeting of said Com mittee held on the 30th day of August, 1933, prepared an estimate in detail of the amount of money proposed to be expended by said Non-high School District for all purposes during the fiscal school year beginning June 19, 1933, and end ing June 18, 1934, and an estimate in detail of the probable receipts of said Non- high School District from all sources for the school year 1933-34.

"Behold these who be lieve on me, they are my mother and my brethren." Next Week: By His Works. . NEW DEAL" ON HALLOWE'EN, Mr. Editor: Now that the Hallowe'en time is almost here, I'd like to make a suggestion. Just a pleasant change fromthe old order of things: In stead of getting up the morning af ter the fun and housewives finding their clothes lines cut in shreds and their windows all "tallowed" and other damages causing unneces sary expense to repair, why not leave something helpful at the houses. The Hallowe'en ghosts may walk abroad, same as ever, but when you ring doorbells, leave baskets of food where such may be needed; or flow ers. And even a little note of cheer and hope. Something that will cause the "victims" to bless instead of wanting to "cuss" you. This has been a depressing year, and children are always open to suggestions of older ones in whom they believe. So why not make the helpful suggestion for Hallowe'en fun, instead of repeating the old tales of "what I did when I was a youngster,' 'on Hallowe'en night? AN OLD-TIMER. We believe this is an excellent suggestion. If we could fix it so only kindly, benevolent spirits are abroad on the eve of All Hallows Day, it would be a real and worth while achievement This Is the second book of the ser ies, the first one being "The Trail of the Bear." "Cougar Pass" is cleverly illustrated by Louise Hosch and was published by the Metro politan Press, Portland. CALL FOB WARRANTS.

With the nublication the first of the month of "Cougar Pass" the boys and girls have a real outaoor story of thrills and adventure in the Cascade moun tains. While the cougar dominates the story, the author ingeniously introduces various incidents relative to other wild creatures found in the West and proves her ability to write interestingly. The author is Mrs. Elizabeth Lambert Wood, daughter of an Oregon pioneer, Joseph Hamilton Lambert, who originated and prop agated the Lambert cherry. Mrs. Wood knows the Oregon country as rew, eitner men or women, know it She has traveled by wagon and horseback over its mountains, has lived in the sagebrush sections and has enjoyed many months along the coast. Her first book, "Silver House of Klone Chuck," displays her knowledge of the coast country, while her two books of the West ern Wilderness Series describe the Cascade mountains and the animals that are found there. "Cougar Pass" takes its title from the adventures of three boys who go hunting in the Cascades and are pursued by a cougar. How they outwit the cunning cougar and their many adventures is combined in this delightful wilderness story. The salesman with a speech Im pediment finds it hard to sell goods, which Is true of the business that suffers the speech impediment known as failure to advertise. ON DIRECTORY STAFF.
