Mrs. Pauline Quaid
Is Fifty-Year Reader
The third Heppner Gazette Times
50-year continuous subscriber ap
peared this week, adding to the
names of L. A. Florence and Mrs.
Anna Natter that of Mrs. Pauline
Quaid of Portland. Mrs. Quaid in
forms this paper that the paper had
come continuously to her late hus
band, Thomas Quaid, or herself ever
since first establishment of the Ga
zette on March 30, 1883: Mrs. Quaid
is being offered a life subscription
which this paper will give any sub
scriber of like continuous 50-year
subscription record.
Mrs. Quaid has known personally
all editors connected with the Ga
zette, Times or Gazette Times. She
complimented the present manage
ment by saying that the paper had
steadily improved in the time she
has been receiving it. She said her
husband loaned E. M. Shutt the
money to buy his newspaper press
when he started the Times, an
amount which seemed to her quite
large but it was repaid as agreed.
Though past 80 years of age, Mrs.
Quaid attends personally to business
affairs and takes pride in the fact
that since retirement to Portland
from this county she has made a
beauty spot of the place taken for
their home, which was in fairly de
lapidated condition when acquired.
She still counts many old-timers
here among her friends, has a keen
interest in Morrow county at all
times and has expressed confidence
in its future through recent pur
chases o this county's real estate.

and she commended the entire re
port for study by everyone. Inequal
ities exist in financing of schools
generally, erasure of which would
do much to lower the total cost while
fostering the principle of equal ed
ucational opportunity for all. In this
field the O. S. T. A. has contacted
granges and other organizations who
have lended a smypathetic ear, and
it is the hope to eventually have a
central organization set-up repre
senting all divisions of society whose
work will be to map out the future
course in school financing.
Mrs. Rodgers' message was wel-
comely received by the service club,
and expressions from members evi
denced the belief that too much
stress cannot be placed upon educa
tion as the main vehicle for preserv
ing democracy.
Possibility of organization of a
hydro-electric power district in the
county was introduced for discus
sion, without recommendation, but
club members believed a thorough
study should be made to ascertain
how the county might secure bene
fits from Bonneville power.
Elmer Griffith of Morgan was in
troduced as a club guest and took
part in the discussions.
Edward Burchell
Listed in 'Who's Who'
Edward Burchell of Lexington is
one of the 19 Oregon State college
students who will be listed in "Who's
Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges" when the
fourth edition of that book comes
off the press in February, according
to a news item in a recent issue of
the Barometer, student daily at Ore
gon State.
To be included in "Who's Who" a
student must have a combination of
character, scholarship, leadership in
extracurricular activities including
athletics, society, religion and poli
tics, and have a great possibilty of
future usefulness to busness and
society.
Besides the biographies of the out
standing students in America, the
1937-38 edition will include many
features said to be invaluable to
schools and students throughout
America. A synopsis of each univer
sity and college will include the year
founded,, its president, whether it is
co-educational, amount of extension
work, number of students, catalog
of prices of year's expenses, and
scholarships aailable. Many other
statistics and information which no
other publication carries and which
will be both interesting and benefi
cial will be in this year's edition.
MR. LUPER HOME
James N. Luper, hale and hearty
at 86 though still bedfast since break
ing his hip in a fall three years ago,
returned to the home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. Leta Babb, this week after
several months confinement at Mor
row General hospital. Mr. Luper
reminded New Years day callers
that he once weighed 230 pounds,
his usual weight being 210, though
his long confinement has caused him
to drop considerably below that.
Aside from a cold at intervals his
health has been good for some time.
He enjoys eating and does much
reading without the aid of glasses,
thus keeping up on affairs of the
day in which he retains a keen in
terest. Philosophical as to his lot, he
said, "Yes, I'm going to be out on the
farm again before long."
