HOUSE
GREETS OPERETTA
"An Old Spanish Custom"
Portrayed Well by High
School Students.
MANY ROLES TAKEN
Spanish, Irish, Chinese and Ameri
can Music, Characters and
Dances Please Audience.
(From Hehisch)
The annual high school operetta
"An Old Spanish Custom," was a
total success, thanks to the fine and
hard work of Miss Brownson, Mrs.
Hayes, Miss Peregrine, Mr. Evans,
Marjorie Parker, and the enthus
iastic and large cast
To start things off right there
was a packed house, with extra
chairs being moved in to accommo
date everyone.
And so on with the play
There was Don Jose, owner of
the rancho Rivera, played by Billy
Cochell. He had been to the war
and when he returned he found his
rancho in a ruined condition, with
new owners, or they thought they
were. He had to restore the rancho
to the way it was before he left. In
order to find out all he could he took
the part of a silly person, who was
thought to be insane, and also took
the part of a masked rider, whom
all feared. He played all parts to
perfection.
Silas Day, man of about forty-five
years, was very well played by Don
Drake. He and his daughter, Billy,
played to perfection by Jessie
French, were the new owners of the
rancho. They and their friends had
come to the rancho. Billy's friends
were attending a conference and
had come to stay with her. They
are: Katherine (Kit) Darling, who
Is easily embarrassed, and feels sor
ry for people. The part of Kit is
well portrayed by Louise Anderson.
Beatrice Thorne (Bea), the girl
looking for a career with her voice,
also to win Stan's heart And who
could have played the part better
than Alice Latourell. Stan oh, he's
Stanley Darling, Kit's big brother
and Mr. Day's right hand man
very well played by Bill Schwarz.
And there was the State Police of
ficer, whom Kit fell so gracefully
for, played excellently by Charles
Cox. The cook, yes, we know, that
is Maggie Murphy, who Is a scream
and adores a fight, and is not par
ticular with whom. The part was
cleverly and excellently played by
Ilene Kenny. The brogue was per
fect. And to leave the visitors of the
rancho and see who lives there all
of the time. There is Maria Pa
tronia, quite an old lady, who loves
the rancho and Don Jose. She has
been his lifetime nurse, the only
mother he remembers. Dorris All
stott played the part perfectly. Sure
and begorry yes, he's Irish. That
is Pat Murphy, Maggie's husband
and Don Jose's "buddy." He is the
typical Irishman. And who played
the part so well? Matt Kenny, of
course, and what an excellent job
he did of It! Yes there was a China
man, too. He was a valuable ser
vant on the rancho, and oh, what
a horrible mustache he had. The
part was taken by La Verne Win
ters, and who could have done it
any better?
The interesting characters of the
fiesta were the Grandslre, Paul Phe
lan, wheeled in by his son, Don
Jose's father, Howard Cleveland.
Following there was Don Jose as a
boy, played by Colleen Kilkenny
who did a very clever dance. The
Padre came with the boy Don Jose.
This was played by Ed- Dick.
Dancing, singing and music. All
kinds of it Irish, Spanish, Chinese,
and American.
The Spanish dances by Adele
Hayes, Dora Bailey, Harriet Hager,
Don Allstott and Gerald Cason were
much more than perfection.
Much time and work was given
to produce such a live production,
but it was well worth It. The fine
cooperation of the town people and
and members of the school was
much appreciated.

HeppneK broke into the winning
column for the second time Sunday
as play in the Wheatland league
reached the half way point, de
feating Blalock on the river lads'
lot, 17-8. At the same time Fossil
retained uncontested supremacy by
beating lone, 6-2. Next Sunday lo
cal fans will have an opportunity to
see Arlington, Fossil's leading pen
nant contestant, when they appear
at Rodeo field.
While Blalock bobbles were much
responsible for Heppner's large
score that combined with weak
pitching the local aggregation dis
played its best baseball of the sea
son by turning in but two errors.
Rod Thomson went the route in the
box and performed nicely by allot
ing but eight hits, mostly scattered.
But it was the nice playing of two
high school lads, McRoberts at
short and Gilman at second, that
shone in the locals' performance.
They handled 10 chances with one
error. The error was McRoberts'
on an easy grounder which he at
tempted to cover too fast. And in
the performance was a fast double
play, McRoberts to Gilman to Ev
ans, handled In big league fashion.
The performance of the boys was
equally good at bat Gilman showed
a good batting eye by drawing four
walks out of six trips up, though
he failed to hit safely, while McRob
erts made a couple of clean singles,
ana was hit oncj in the same num
ber of tries.
Heppner started the scoring the
first time up. With two away Ray
Massey was safe on an error, stole
second and took third on a wild peg,
men scored on Thomsons hit
Thomson in turn beig caught steal
ing.
Blalock came back in its half to
tally thrice. After two were gone
L. Bartlemay walked to score on C.
Miller's three-bagger, Miller in turn
crossing the plate when Hayes
dropped Kirby's pot fly on a hard
try. Kirby scored on L. Miller's
two-bagger, but the latter was cut
off at third on the throw-in by
Crawford. The river lads added to
their lead in the third with three
more tallies on Wheelhouse and L.
Miller being hit followed by singles
by L, Miller and Vertrees.
Then with the score 6-1 in the
fifth, Heppner began putting the
game on ice. In that inning 11 bats
men were up and nine had scored
on three walks, a hit batsman, and
three hits abetted by several Bla
lock bobbles. The next inning seven
more runs came In on four hits, two
walks and some more errors.
Blalock picked up a couple more
runs in the sixth, but the damage
had been done.

KITCHEN CAN BE
'GUEST ROOM', TOO
Noted Home Counselor to Present
Innovations in Homemaklng
at Cooking School Here.
"I've taken an idea from Emily
.post," declares Mrs. Audrey Har
rington who will be in Heppner
May 20 and 21 to conduct long
awaited Electric Homemaklng In
stitute and Cooking School. "And
that idea is transforming your kit
chen into an extra 'guest room.'
"It is now socially correct to en
tertain visitors in your kitchen if
their arrival finds you engaged in
some kitchen task inconvenient for
you to quit. Just keep on with your
work. Don't upset your household
schedule. It isn't difficult to be hos
pitable and work at the same time.
There is one important considera
tion, however. Your kitchen must
be as attractive as the rest of your
home.
"To help women beautify their
kitchen I have gathered a great
deal of information on kitchen mod
ernizing and decoration for my pro
gram. Many of my suggestions can
be accomplished very easily and in
expensively. A little imagination,
a little carpentry, a.ttle paint and
correct lighting can often perform
miracles.
"Like my other homemaking sug
gestions, my kitchen 'guest room'
plan is to help you make your work
easier and more enjoyable. Noth
ing in homemaking should be an
imposed, task!
"But please don't think that my
entire program is remodeling. You
are going to be given many new
recipes and menus new ways of
serving suggestions on how to get
the most out of your electrical ap
pliances."
Everyone interested is invited to
this important event. It will be held
at the Heppner school gym. Each
session will begin at 2:00 p. m.
Cooperating to make this Institute
possible are Case Furniture com
pany, Gilliam & Bisbee, Green's
Hardware, Hill Electric Shop and
Pacific Power & Light company.

BACK UPPER RIVER
Development Above Umatilla Rap
ids Essential to Permanent Set
up, Held; Mrs. Gault Sings.
t
Ted R. Gillenwaters, the flying
district governor of Oregon Lions,
and Ed F. Shea, Oregon member of
board of directors for Lions Inter
national, flew into town Tuesday
evening for a meeting with the lo
cal club. They made a nice three'
point landing on the hillside golf
course shortly before 5 o'clock in
the evening and were greeted bv C.
J. D. Bauman, president, and other
members of the local club besides
a nock of kiddies.
"Whew! We're glad that's over."
It wasn't said in so many words.
But the expression could be read on
their faces, and was further sub
stantiated by several not too com
plimentary remarks anent the land
ing field soon after they alighted.
Mr. Shea, co-pilot directed Mr. Gil
lenwaters to land on top of the
school, preferring its nice flat sur
face to the apparent knoll picked
by Mr. Gillenwaters. He compared
the landing to the attempt of a
golfer to place his ball on one of
those knobby greens on the more
sporting courses.
The thrill was all the damaee
done, however, and they took off
nicely about 11 o'clock yesterday
morning to make a noon engage
ment at La Grande on their air
tour of the district, expecting to
make Baker for another encase
ment in the evening.
Both Mr. Shea and Mr. Gillenwa
ters stressed the comeback Lionism.
and especially Lionism in Oregon,
is making from the depression, in
addresses before the local club. Or
egon is now in seventh place, finan
cially, among the many districts,
and showing a constant gain in
membership. Their remarks were
centered on the Btate and interna
tional conventions, the first to be
held In The Dalles, June 1-2-3, and
the latter in Mexico City in July.
neppner has received signal rec
ognition at the state convention
through being invited to stage a
model luncheon at noon on the sec
ond day. S. E. Notson was an
nounced as the speaker, Dr. Rich
ard C. Lawrence and Joe Belanger
were detailed as the stunt commit
tee, and the club quartet was called
upon to perform for the occasion.
President Bauman named Jap
Crawford, Dick Lawrence, Henry
Aiken and Earl Eskelson as the
general committee.
The meeting was turned into a
meeting of the commercial club,
with President S. E. Notson presid
ing, long enough to pass a resolu
tion favoring the upper Columbia
river development program which
would make shipping possible above
Umatilla rapids. Mr. Notson esti
mated that 90 percent of the poten
tial tonnage for river transportation
lies tributary to this part of the
program and that its development
is necessary to insure permanent
and adequate shipping facilities on
the river. Lawrence Beach of Lex
ington was present and asked for
dollar memberships in Inland Em
pire Waterways association, the
principal organization for pushing
the river development program.
A special feature was the singing
of a group of songs by Mrs. J. L.
Gault, soprano, accompanied by Mrs.
J. U. Turner, which were well re
ceived. Grade Commencement

DITCH CREEK ITER
MA A
RRIGA1
Court Starts Move to Di
vert into Willow Creek;
City Interested.
SEEK LOSS IN LINE
Steps to 'Secure More Water De
layed by Council; County Well
Meets Emergency Need.
A move to divert the entire flow
of DHch creek into Willow creek is
under way by the county court in
cooperation with the city of Hepp
ner to augment the flow of the lat
ter creek for irrigation purposes.
Following a preliminary investiga
tion Tuesday, H. A. Tamblyn, coun
ty engineer, and crew started a
survey of the project yesterday with
a view to cutting a channel between
the two creeks with the county
shovel.
The city several years ago tapped
Ditch creek with an eight inch pipe,
and the investigation Tuesday re
vealed this pipe still to be in good
condition and running a good flow
into Willow creek, but not carry
ing near the entire flow of Ditch
creek, reported J. O. Rasmus, wa-
termaster. He said that Ditch creek
appears to be running more water
than Willow creek, so that if the
entire flow is diverted it should
more than double the supply of wa
ter from Willow.
Ditch creek flows into the north
fork of the John Day at present,
and its water is little used for irri
gation. The court believes that the
cost of diverting it would be more,
than justified by the additional wa
ter that would be provided for ir
rigation on lower Willow creek, and
the city is interested in the project
as a reserve water supply which it
may tap in. emergencies.
ihe council in special session Fri
day evening decided to take no
steps toward providing more water
until the flow through the pipe line
had been gauged to determine how
much loss is sustained in the line.
A meter salesman was in town
Monday, but his wares were deem
ed too costly, and further steps were
unaeriaKen to -measure the water.
In the meantime the supply from
the county well has proved adequate
to care for the immediate emer
gency, and irrigation is being per
mitted, though users are required
to conserve all water possible. If
necessary at any time, the water
master was instructed to turn wa
ter from the creek into the pipe line.
In the first 22 hours after it was
turned in the county well water
had raised the amount in the main
reservoir by 35,000 gallons, and with
the pumping the water in the well
itself was raised eight feet
If it is determined that consider
able loss is being sustained in the
pipe line, it was the sense of the
council that relaying of pipe, at
least to the amount of one and a
quarter miles as recently contract
ed, will proceed Immediately. It is
known that much of the concrete
pipe sector of the line is in bad con
dition and should be replaced.
When and if it is established that
a more adequate permanent water
supply is needed, the council has
several plans under consideration
for providing it.
