May They Come Again
HEPPNER was warmed by one
of the largest crowds in Ro
deo history last week end, and the
warmth has left a glow of cheerful
remembrance.
A fine spirit of fellowship was evi
denced by the large number of peo
ple attending from Grant and Uma
tilla counties, and there was more
than ordinary the number of old
time residents who returned to re
new acquaintances.
All features of the show itself
went off in good shape, reflecting
credit upon the directors. To Henry
C. Aiken, Dr. R. C. Lawrence, Har
lan McCurdy, the executive commit
tee; Len L. Gilliam, secretary-treasurer;
Scott Furlong, Frank Swag
gart and Tony Vey, directors, goes
much credit. Mrs. Alta Bown, who
superintended the pioneers' picnic;
Joseph Belanger, fair director, and
E. R. Schaffer, carnival committee
head, also worked tirelessly and suc
cessfully in their departments.
Mention may not be made of all
who are entitled to credit. Frank C.
Alfred and his crew of ticket sell
ers did a good job, as did Dr. Law
rence's helpers at the dances. The
work of the judges and other offi
cials at the grounds was deeply ap
preciated. In her vcrk, Mrs. Brown an
nounces that she received the ready
cooperation of eeryone for which
she is deeply grateful. She has ex
pressed appreciation for the help re
ceived from those who took part on
the program and all others who
helped to make the pioneer's picnic
a success. The demand shown on
every hand that this feature be con
tinued is evidence of the public ap
preciation. There is no little pride in feeling
that Heppner measured up well in
entertaining the large crowd, in re
ceiving the many kind words that
were spoken on parting. Such a
spirit warms the cockles of the
heart, and adds to the anticipation
of the next Rodeo.
Farewe!! Tribute
Given Capt. Reynolds
Members of Camp Heppner, CCC,
twice feted Capt. W. R. Reynolds,
retiring camp commandant, this
week before he left yesterday for
Moro to assume a like position with
the CCC camp there.
Yesterday morning Captain and
Mrs. Reynolds and Patsy Ann were
treated to a surprise breakfast at
the camp, and tendered gifts of re
membrance. Sunday, a surprise din
ner in their honor was given at the
camp, with the cooks doing their
job to a turn. Captain Reynolds has
been head of the local camp since its
inception three years ago, and the
parting tribute is evidence of the
widespread esteem and affection
which he holds among those with
whom he worked.
NEW SCHOOL LAW OUT
New copies of the 1937 school laws
have just been received at the of
fice of Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, county
school superintendent, who an
nounces that two copies will be sent
to each rural district, and three cop
ies to each village district in the
county. One copy will be in the
hands of each district clerk, one in
the hands of each district board
chairman, and one placed on file in
the village schools. Those on file
may be borrowed by anyone desir
ing to consult it, the same as library
books.

More Rooms Ready for
OSC Co-eds This Fall
Corvallis Additional facilities for
housing women students at Oregon
State college this fall have been
made to care for an expected in
crease in registration. Adequate
and comfortable housing is now as
sured for all, says Dr. Kate W. Jam
eson, dean of women. Four large
residences near the campus have
been rented and furnished as dorm
itory annexes, while three large co
operative houses will again be used
for girls who share work and ex
penses among a group.
Advance applications for admis
sion indicate that the opening of
Freshman week, September 20, will
find a somewhat larger freshman
group than last years' record class
while the moving up of larger classes
will doubtless mean more old stu
dents returning for regular regis
tration September 25, say college
officials.
Strange Leaf Hoppers
Invade State Gardens
Corvallis The little black hopping
beetles that have invaded Oregon
cabbage and kale fields this summer,
laying some of them waste by chew
ing up the leaves, is a new species of
leaf hopper observed first in this
state about two years ago, say the
entomologists at Oregon State col
lege. Little is known of its life his
tory, but the use of rotenone dust
has been the most effective in its
control.
This species, Phyletreta columbia
num, or sometimes called the Can
adian leaf hopper, appeared sudden
ly in great hordes, sometimes ser
iously injuring a -patch of kale or
cabbage in a few days. Later this
species became less numerous and
late in August another species, Phy
letreta simplex, was doing some
damage. Rotenone is the best protec
tion found for any of the leaf hop
pers, entomologists say.
AUXILIARY TO MEET
Episcopal ladies auxiliary will
meet at the parish house next
Thursday afternoon, Sept. 9, at 2:30.
PIONEERS, MAYORS OF FOUR CITIES
PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAM AT PICNIC
If general comment of those at
tending can be credited, no finer
feature was presented at Rodeo time
than the pioneer's picnic, staged on
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Alta Brown, committee chair
man, presented Judge Bert Johnson
as master of ceremonies, who in turn
presented the mayors of four cities
and several pioneers, among them
Mayor "Buck" Lieuallen of Pen
dleton who gave the address of wel
come. Group singing of "Faith of
Our Fathers" at the opening, two
numbers by the trio, Misses Kathryn
Parker, Juanita Phelps and Marie
Barlow, accompanied by Miss Jean
ette Turner, invocation by Alvin
Kleinfeldt, and standing silent trib
ute to those pioneers who passed on
the last year accompanied by trum-
Livestock Feature
Fine Showing
At County Fair
Frances Wilkinson,
Lex Sheep Club
Win Special Awards
By JOSEPH BELANGER
The Morrow County fair this year
brought out the finest exhibition of
livestock shown in this county since
the heyday of the old county fair.
In addition to an excellent showing
of girls' club work in the 4-H club
room at the county pavilion, 79 4-H
club sheep and 19 cattle, competed
for prizes in the show ring. Harlan
McCurdy brought in five Lindy Lane
rams for exhibition and Frank Wil
kinson exhibited three excellent Suf
folk Hampshire crossbred bucks.
Milo Huston exhibited a registered
Belgian stallion of the Jupiter breed
ing made famous throughout the
Belgian world by Harold, Belgian
breeder from Washington. An un
usual exhibit by Mike Roberts
should not go unmentioned. His Irish
setter bitch with her eleven hungry
puppies were squirming, squealing
evidences that a time of burdensome
surpluses may again be upon us.
On Thursday, O. M. Nelson, pro
fessor of animal husbandry at OSC,
spent the forenoon judging the sheep
show which he declared to be much
superior to that of last year in both
numbers and quality.
Percy Folsom, manager of the J.
E. Smythe Livestock company, from
whom several 4-H club members
purchased registered Delaine ewes
in 1936, had just returned from his
ram sale at Texas and was present
at the show with Mrs. Folsom to
watch the judging. The silver cup
awarded by Mr. Folsom as A special
trophy to the club member making
the best showing of Delaine sheep
was won this year by Frances Wil
kinson. She placed third with her
yearling ewe, second with her aged
ewe, second with her ram lamb,
fourth with a ewe fleece and first
with a yearling fleece.
The Lions' club trophy which has
been awarded each year for the last
three years to the sheep club making
the best all-round showing at the
county fair, was won again this year,
for the second time, by the Lexing
ton Sheep club.
In the judging contest held Satur
day morning before the parade, Lex
ington Sheep club was the winner
with a club score of 765 out of a
possible 900. Pine City Sheep club
was second with 720, Lexington Calf
club third with 660, and Willow
Creek Sheep club fourth with 645.
There was keen interest in the
showmanship contests which were
judged by Leroy C. Wright, county
