The Old-Timer Again,
SHORTLY after its appearance
ij we commented in these columns
on a poem, "The Saga of a Cowboy,"
written by our old neighbor and
friend, C. A. Minor, and delivered
by him at the 37th annual session of
Eastern Oregon Pioneer association
at Service creek, Sunday, July 19,
1936. Now we are pleased to receive
a neatly printed brochure of the
poem produced by Central Oregonian
nf Prineville.
In transmitting it, Mr. Minor also
included a "ling" inspired by a poem
in these columns recently anent the
coming of the new year. The poem
was that of Mrs. Ella Shell read at
the Pomona grange new year's meet
ing at Boardman.
Mrs. Shell said of the old year:
"We won't detain him, let him go,
He's brought enough of pain and
woe."
A little different view is taken by
Mr. Minor in his offering. Here it is:
1936 GOOD BYE 1937 WELCOME.
The old year has gone; we picked its
bones end set it free,
And I wonder if this one will be as
kind to you and me;
It gave us health and happiness, and
The love of those friends and compan
ions cuuiu we miL iuuic:
It gave us a home and fire-side, books
to enlighten our mind,
Where we mixed with those of our lik
ingwhat more to find?
It gave us a home in Mt. Vernon where
onlv the he-men live,
With bear and deer for the hunting
what more could it give7
And when tired of the day's labor, we
fathered at home at night, ,
b we lis't to the radio playing, and
an tne worm was Drigni,
I thought as I heard that music, and
the things last year did give,
Could this year that's now upon us
grant more lor wnicn to aver
So good-bye, Old Year, though it grieves
our heart to the core
To bid you this farewell parting, for
we'll never see you more.
And now, New Year, that you are com
ing, and we both start anew,
We'll try to aid you where we can, and
live a little better, too.
We'll go to church and meetin's, and
meet criticism with a laugh,
And when the parson comes to see us,
we'll kill the fatted calf.
We'll build churches for our meetin's,
work nix days, not seven,
And when we get this all a'goin', this
country will be a Heaven.
We'll growl no more at fortune, but
sail on faith's bright wings,
And if we fail to reach our goal, we
wish for better things.
Now, New Year, that you are with us,
one thing more I'd have you do:
Tell my Heppner friends to stop and
see us, when passing through.
Al Capone's Car.
"tlNCE Al Capone has been a gov
ernment guest on Alcatraz island
down in San Francisco bay, he has
probably learned that he was just
a neophyte in constructing fortifica
tions. Still the automobile which he
used in defying law and order as
Uncle Sam's number one gangster
arouses indignation that such a for
midable weapon against society
could have been constructed and
put into use.
A local man who viewed Al's car
in Portland last week brings back
some description of it, as told in an
other column.
The jailing of Al was just the be
ginning of breaking the backs of the
gangsters. The job is not yet done,
though J. Edgar Hoover and his "G"
men daily report progress.
It is pitiful, in a way, that any
person could have the supreme ego
tism to think that he could outwit
and defy organized society, as Al ap
parently did. The sad part of it is
that he, and others like him, were
permitted to get as far as they did,
or are. It wouldn't have been pos
sible except for the passivity and
tolerance of a fearful public.
Al and his ilk operate on the the
ory that anyone can be forced to do
anything through threat of life. Their
latest racket is manifested in the
meanest form of . all, stealing small
children of the well-to-do class and
threatening to take their lives unless
a sum of money is paid.
Undoubtedly Al used these tactics
in getting his awe-inspiring automo
bile made, as he also used them to
seal the mouths of those in his ser
vice. Al accumulated a large for
tune this way, but a fortune that
will never do him any good. He
came to the end which is so surely
reached by all who break the fun
damental laws of society.
Al's fortified car is now just an
other exhibit of the enduring fact
that "crime does not pay."
Legion Auxiliary
Aids Bandon, R. C.
Heppner unit, American' Legion
auxiliary, met Monday evening at
the home of Mrs. Alva Janes. A
number of items of business came
up for discussion. The child wel
fare chairman, Mrs. Estes Morton,
reported that practically all the ar
tides in the supply shelf had been
sent out to local needy families and
the auxiliary will be glad to receive
any contributions of used clothing
It was also reported that a quilt
had been sent to the Bandon unit.
It was voted to contribute $2.50 to
the local Red Cross chapter for flood
relief.
Plans for the auxiliary's annual
George Washington birthday pie sale
were made. This will be held Feb
ruary 20 at Dix's store.
One thousand poppies were order
ed for the Memorial Day poppy sale.
Although that day is several months
away, the men in the veterans' hos
pitals have started making the pop
pies for which they receive 1 cent
each. This money is a great help to
them and their families during these
winter months.
Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, president
of the Oregon State Teachers asso
ciation and unit Americanism chair
man, spoke to the unit concerning
the work and purpose of the teach
ers' association and asked that the
unit approve certain legislative
measures concerning education.
Delicious refreshments were served
by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Chester
Brown who assisted her.
CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
Dan Barlow, in the city Tuesday
morning from Eight Mile, reported
prospects good for the coming wheat
crop. While snow blew badly from
south slopes, the north slopes are
still well covered. He reported the
Henry Peterson and Emil Carlson
ranches still snowbound, though they
could get out by riding horseback
as far as Carl Peterson's and taking
the car on. "When we had horses,
we didn't think anything about snow
drifts," Mr. Barlow said. "But now
that we depend on cars, they're bad."
He recalled seeing several deeper
snows in his 40 years in the county,
but didn't remember any snow drift
ing so badly.
LIBRARY ELECTS.
Officers of Heppner Public Li
brary association were elected at the
recent annual meeting as follows:
Allan Bean, president; Mae Doherty,
vice-president; Phyllis Pollock, sec
retary; Louise Becket, librarian;

beth Blankenship compose the com

Time is the measurement of the
earth's rotation on its axis.
