HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, June 28, 1934 Subscription $200 a Year TUBERCULOSIS TEST BE Margaret Gillis, Nurse with State Assocation, Explains to Lions. METHOD HELD SAFE Skin-Testing Campaign to Assist in Controlling; "White Plague"; Good Results Had. Tuberculosis, the once dreaded "white Plague," is preventable and long strides have been made toward its complete eradication In Oregon, Miss Margaret Gillis, nurse with the Oregon State Tuberculosis as sociation, told the Heppner Lions club at its Monday luncheon. Con stant vigilance and unceasing work have been the means of lowering Oregon's death rate from tubercu losis to the lowest rate in any of the states, Miss Gillis said. Misg Gillis was in the county to make a check-up of the skin-testing campaign made for the Board man and Irrigon communities last February, and explained the nature of this test which it hoped to carry out at Heppner for the rest of the county shortly after school opens In the fall. By this test the pres ence of tuberculosis in the individ ual is determined and steps pre scribed where necessary. The skin test by which tuberculo sis Is revealed is somple and safe, Miss Gillis said. It consists of In jecting a clear serum between the layers of the skin in the front fore arm just below the elbow. If posi tive reaction to the test is shown, a red spot appears where the serum is injected. Such reaction does not mean the presence of active tuber culosis, but does call for a further examination. Positive reactors are asked to have x-ray pictures taken of the chest. These pictures reveal to a qualified doctor whether the reactor has an arrested case, and whether a further examination is necessary. Dr. Bellinger, head of the state tu berculosis hospitals and one of the outstanding authorities on tuber culosis, reads the x-ray pictures and himself does much of the follow up work. It was to prepare for a visit of Dr. Bellinger to the Irrigon and Boardman sections that Miss Gillis was here the first of the week. If the x-ray pictures reveal cases where personal examination is deemed necessary, a capable chest specialist, such as Miss Gillis, is sent Into the field to obtain histories of such cases to assist the examin ing physician In determining future treatment. If the nature of the case is such as to demand It, appli cation is made for care at one of the state tuberculosis hospitals. The state tuberculosis association has taken the lead in conducting the skin-test clinics, through which a number of active cases of tuber culosis have been uncovered and proper treatment given. The asso ciation provides the services of the nurse, and local physicians gener ally cooperate In giving the test and In taking the x-ray pictures, with no cost to the children examined except for the pictures. The service is made possible thru the annual Bale of Christmas Seals. Miss Gil lis said that fine cooperation was had at Irrigon and Boardman, and the Lions gave assurance that good cooperation would be given if the tests are made here. The matter of obtaining recogni tion for the Heppner-Spray road In the expendtlurs of federal road funds recently received by the state was also discussed by the club, and It was expected to use the club's influence in seeing that the cause was represented before the meeting of the. Btate highway commission next Saturday. NICKERSON-HAYES. Miss Adele Nickerson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Nickerson, was married on Sunday afternoon at All Saints' Episcopal church to Mr. Wm. C.

MAY DAIRYING IS TOPIC AT GRANGE MEET Field Day at Cool Farm Sunday Well Attended; Cox and Smith Speak on Program. "All of the free ice cream you can eat" has been heard by many a boy and girl, however, it is our guess that last Sunday was one of the, very few times that this has been a reality when W. C. Cox, manager of the Morrow County Creamery lived up to his promise and supplied free Ice cream to all who attend ed the Willows grange annual pic nic at the H. E. Cbol farm near lone. How to get better prices for but ter and increase the consumption were the topics discussed by Mr. Cox and by C. W. Smith, county agent. It was brought out that the butter made in Oregon would be worth three-quarters of a million dollars more per year at present quotations if it were all sold on the basis of official wholesale quotations for 92 score butter, than if it were all sold on the basis of 89 score quotations. When higher prices are received by the creamery It natur ally can distribute more back to the producers. The producer of the butter fat and the butter maker must work hand in hand in mak ing good butter. The producer's part is to furnish good cream to the creamery and the butter maker must apply his knowledge and skill In making the highest quality but ter possible from the cream. The buttermaker cannot be expected to make high quality butter that will bring top price unless he has good materials to work with. Cleanliness of the cows and the milker and the various utensils as well as prompt cooling of the milk are fundamen tal if good butter is to be made. Dairy utensils used should be scrubbed with hot water containing soda washing powders and not soap which is ordinarily used by the housewife. Cardinal points to be observed in producing cream from which high quality butter can be made are; Strong-flavored feeds should not be fed to cows shortly before milk ing; keep healthy cows; keep cows clean; wipe udders with a clean, damp cloth before milking; screen the barn and milk house; the milk er's hands should be washed and dried by a clean towei before milk ing; use clean, sterile utensils; wash and sterilize the separator twice dally; cool the cream prompt ly by setting can In flowing water! cover the cream cans with a clean tea towel to keep out foreign obi jects; keep the cream at a temper ature below 50 F. if possible; use well-tinned, sanitary utensils; keep the cream in a pure atmosphere; keep the utensils in a clean, well ventilated place; the cream should contain 32 to 35 percent fat; and deliver the cream to the creamery before it turns sour. Members of the 4-H clubs of the lone district contributed several numbers to the program and horse shoe pitching was the main sport of the day. A good crowd of grang ers and their friends was present 111 Luck Trails Family of Local Farm Operator A streak of ill luck seems to be trailing the family of A. W. Gam mell of this city. On Sunday, while hauling hay in from the field, Mr. Gammell was run over by the load ed wagon and his left leg broken. The Injury was between the ankle and knee, both bones being broken twice. His injuries were promptly cared for by a physician and he is getting along as well as could be expected. In the latter part of March the infant daughter of Edna Piatt,, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gammell, who resides in California, died. On the 13th day of June her husband was killed in a truck accident and Edna is now bereft of both child and husband. A letter received by Mr. and Mrs. Gammell on Tuesday contained the Information that their son, Floyd, was at the Veterans hos pital In Walla Walla and was to be operated on that day for appendi citis.

He is at Room 105, St. Joseph's hospi tal, Stockton, receiving the best of care, but will not be able to walk for at least four months. Doctors call Jack the "Miracle Man" for being still alive after tak ing the high voltage which burned his feet and hands to the bone. He underwent an operation on the 19th for the removal of the dead flesh from the feet, which left little of the feet but bone. The doctor was afraid for a time he would lose the right foot, but was encouraged as the poison drained from Jack's sys tem. Skin grafting on the feet was to be started Saturday. It is likely Jack's buckaroo days will be over, even though recovery is complete. Meantime his Heppner friends will be pulling for him strong. ' LEXINGTON By BEULAH B. NICHOLS.

Tentative allocation of federal secondary highway funds by the Oregon State Highway commission calls for $35,000 for completion of the Heppner-Spray road, according to information received In Heppner this morning. The amount of $35, 000 is based upon estimates by the engineers of the commission, and it Is expected would be sufficient to complete the grade and surfacing of the road.

Tales of Old Times BY J. W. RBDINGTON pioneer editor of the "Gaaet" writlnf from National Military Borne, California. Uncle Charlie Wallace had a hap py, hospitable home up on Balm Fork, and he and his good wife, Aunt Abigail, always welcomed us when we dropped in to stay all night, on our way to hunt bear up in the Blue Mountains. One night as we sat around in the big front room, and the conversation rather slowed up, Judge Dutton asked Un cle Charlie how many cows he had now. 'W-e-ell, let's see," said Charlie. "I sold ten cows to Professor Ken nedy, ten to Will Morrow, three to Butcher Bill, and one to John Red- ington, five to Tom Quaid, two to Bill Leezer, and let's see, some to somebody else, and well, I can't remember. But the books will show!" And Aunt Abigail, the good wife, chimed in with: "Why, Charles, you know that you never kept a book in your life!" So, we let it go at that, and Jim Fuller changed the subject "Don't shoot the squaws, boys," said Captain English, as the battle raged among the lodges (Jf the hos tile Nez Perces at the Big Hole bat tle. Just then a big squaw raised the flap of a lodge and took a pot shot at the Captain. She shot high, so that the bullet went through the hat instead of lower down. Professor Kennedy, phrenologist, came to our town and gave free lectures but charged $5 for an xam ination and a chart of your head bumps. He figured out that my bumps showed special talent for en gineering and sizing up distances for instance, I could walk right over to a window sill and put my finger on the exact center. I insisted on trying it, and he said There! you struck it exactly! But I also insist ed on testing it with a tape meas ure, and found I was seven inches) off. But the rest of the bumps were bumptious, and I must have con sulted that chart as much as three or four times. And where is it now? Yes, where? Demurrers in Local Cases To be Heard at La Grande Demurrers filed In the cases of the state vs. Gay M. Anderson, county clerk, charged with larceny of public funds, and the state vs. W. G. McCarty, R. W. Turner, R. A. Thompson, R. I. Thompson and C. N. Jones, directors of Heppner Farmers Elevator, charged with illegal operation of a public ware house, will be heard before Judge Knowles, circuit judge for Union county, at La Grande next Satur day. Frank J. Lonergan of Port land will argue the Anderson de murrer, while J. J. Nys, J. O. Tur ner and P. W. Mahoney, local at torneys, will represent the elevator directors.

Would Learn Story of Doughboy and Dollar Bill What kind of a story could this dollar bill tell, had it the power of speech ? J. D. Cash, J. C. Penney Co. man ager and an active member in the local post American Legion, has the bill, taken in the regular chan nel of trade at his store this week. It is one of the large, old-time is sue bills which circulated before Uncle Sam started to conserve pa per by issuing the later, more petite size. Written with ink on its back is the inscription, "Samaur, France R. E. LaGreve, 309 Residence, Al bany, Ga. Sept 6, 1918." No doubt R. E. LaGreve was an American doughboy in Saumur France on Sept. 6, 1918, a little more than two months before the armistice was signed. As to the circumstances under which the bill was inscribed, one may only guess until the story is learned, as MrJ Cash hopes it will be when he puts the American Legion Monthly on its trail.

AERIAL SURVEY OUT Allotment Acreages Generally Run ning Under Farmers' Estimates; Reduction Placed at 15 Pet. The wheat allotment acreage sur vey for Morrow county is being rap idly closed up, and it is expected that by July 16th all farm areas under production control will have been measured, according to reports coming from the office of the Mor row County Wheat Production Con trol association. Nine field crews are measuring the land and the acreages are being computed in the production control office. Farmers are asked to come to the office and fill out the certificates of compli ance. It would be well for each grower to wait five or six days af ter the farm supervisor visits his ranch before calling to fill the com pliance certificates, in order to be sure that his acreage figures have been completed. Most of the acreages are running under the farmers' estimates. From the acreages that have been figured, it looks as though there has been more than a fifteen percent reduc tion throughout the entire county. Most of the estimates as given in by the farmers are fairly accurate and show that they had a very good idea as to the number of acres their fields contained. Contrary to newspaper reports Morrow county is not going to use the aerial method of measuring the wheat lands, due to the fact that so many of the farmers started their harvesting operations before auth orization was given by the office of the Wheat Section in Washington that the aerial survey would be per mitted. Owners' proof of compliance have been sent to landowners who live outside of the county and it is hoped that these will be returned in time so that clearance sheets can be sent to Washington, D. C, by July 25. N. C. Donaldson, state wheat ag ent is now on the job assisting the association officials in the mid-Columbia territory in interpreting the rulings as laid down by the Wash ington office.
