Abstract Facts Not Enough
It probably seldom occurs to most
of us that the teachers might be con
cerned with making studies more
interesting and practical for us.
With this object in mind, 800
teachers, constituting the regional
institute, met at La Grande normal
school Thursday and Friday. The
meeting consisted mostly of the dis
cussion of problems that arise in
teaching technique and in subject
matter. The most important point
brought out during the course of the
institute was that the teachers should
not expect students to learn dry, ab
stract facts without their showing
correlations with life situations. This
point, which deals mostly with gram
mar, although it may include other
subjects, was in regard to the learn
ing of rules and not making practical
use of them in speech and writing,
Bearing in mind this point, it would
be well for the student to cooperate
with the teacher for his own good
and enjoyment.

Clean Fun
Do you have much fun on Hal
loween? Or do you just think you
do? Well, that may be a hard ques
tion to answer when viewed from
all sides. There are two kinds of fun:
clean fun and the opposite. We may
let the air out of our friend's car.
If it is for a good reason and if it is
known that he will not resent the
trick, it may be clean fun; but if it
belongs to someone else, it isn't. Of
course each person has his own
ideas. But let's remember that all
have fun which is clean fun.

Eighth Grade News
A meeting was held Monday dur
ing English class to elect a staff for
the eighth grade newspaper, which
is to be issued every month. Those
elected were, editor, Peg Tamblyn;
assitant editor, Calvin Crawford;
sports, Kay Ferguson; jokes, Ellen
Hughes; art editor, Birdine Vance;
class happenings, Connie Instone;
poetry editor, Billy Scrivner; edi
torial, Claud Snow.
The eighth grade is finishing up
their art work in the workroom this
week, as their month is up Thurs
day. Each room is entitled to one
month. The seventh grade will fol
low. Since Cleora Stout is going back
to her home in Portland next week,
where she will continue her studies,
the eighth grade will lose one of its
members.

PINTO POINTS
This Friday's traditional football
game with Arlington, the town which
recently had some difficulty with
its younger set swimming in the
city reservoir, will in all probability,
settle a fervent gridiron feud of two
years' standing. Relations between
Heppner and the river-city school
were severed several years ago, but
at last a contact was made and two
games scheduled, which renewed
with enthusiastic vigor, the schools'
heated rivalism. The '36' duo of bat
tles between these warring foes fin
ished with each school the rightful
possessor of a well-deserved victory.
Since a single game is on tap for the
two teams this year, no chance is
given till next season for sweet re
venge to the school whose team fin
ishes as the; vanquished.
To be frank, many Heppner fans
are slightly surrounded by a cloud
of doubt concerning the outcome of
the forthcoming Arlington tilt. The
reason for these unfavorable atmos
pheric conditions lies in the fact that
last week's Arlington-Hermiston tilt
on the tatter's field showed the Hon
kers displaying a razzle-dazzle style
of play, unequaled by any team of
its size in this section of the country.
Mixing tricky reverses and deceiv
ing laterals with a brilliant passing
attack, Arlington, although bitten
by the Hermiston Bulldog for a six-
point setback, decidedly proved their
eagerness and ability to upset sime
team that was equally confident of
victory. After losing the first en
counter 12 to 0, in last year's return
game with Arlington at the river
city the Mustangs opened the show
with an aerial circus that caught
the Honkers absolutely defenseless.
The result was a Surprising 14 to 0
upset for Heppner over Arlington.
The present season is putting on an
entirely different performance. It's
the aerial-minded Honkers this year
against Heppner's power - house
team, whose pass defense in the
Touchet fray was so weak that it
was startling and equally surprising.
The six-man football game at
Lexington last Saturday morning,
coming as a forenoon event of the
annual pioneers reunion, proved that
the flashiest looking team is not al
ways the outstanding one. Adorned
in an eye-catching mixture of cords,
overalls, and tin pants, with head
gears and shoulder pads their only
regulation equipment, the Umatilla
squad's superior physical condition
finally settled the question as to
who should emerge victorious, the
river boys winning by a 19 to 14
score.
Curfew chatter . . . Rather late in
publication but nevertheless inter
esting was the speed shown by Guy
Moore, reserve half-back, in the
Touchet game . . . springing into the
open on a 30-yard end run, he dis
played an unusual amount of heels
to his opponents. The local team will
play Friday's game minus the ser
vices of Jackson Gilliam, stalwart
tackle, whose attendance is required
at La Grande on the same day. Ac
cording to Vince Barratt, congenial
Arlington mentor, since the date of
his team's defeat at the hands of the
locals, "his boys have been out to
get Heppner," With LeRoy Baker,
ace halfback at the helm, he indi
cated that a real battle is forthcom
ing. walking?

New State Board
Handling Assaying
Continued requests for free as
saying from all sections of the state,
has prompted J. H. Batcheller, pro
fessor of mining engineering at Ore
gon State college, to make another
appeal to persons seeking assays or
information on Oregon minerals to
direct inquiries to the newly created
state deparatment of geology and
mineral industries.
Although the old college school of
mines and later the state mining
board which received secretarial help
from the college, formerly provided
this service, Professor Batcheller ex
plains that the 1937 legislature re
pealed the act creating the mining
board and substituted the new de
partment which is now located at
704 Lewis building, Portland, with
Earl K. Nixon as its director.
The state department of geology
and mineral industries was given
funds for doing free assaying and a

fessor Batcheller declares, in point
ing out that this new agency is far
better equipped to handle these re
quests than the college mining de

funds for this purpose.
The Good Earth
ii
Coming to the Star
The dramatic story of China's teem
ing millions, their struggles, their
hardships, and the intensely human
heartbeat of the great and little
known nation, is transcribed from
Pear S. Buck's epic novel and the
stage adaptation by Owen Davis and
Donald Davis to the talking screen
in "The Good Earth," starring Paul
Muni and Luise Rainer, and show
ing Nov. 7-8 at the Star theater.
Fruit of four years of research and
preparation, of the work of a film
expedition that passed a year in
China filming exteriors, studying
details and bringing back thousands
of authentic properties the picture
in which thousands of Oriental play
ers appear is one of the most gi
gantic tasks ever undertaken by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
