Mack Smith Gave
Name to Channel
"Mack" Smith, 62, life-long resi
dent of this section who as care
taker of the Ditch creek-Willow
creek diversion channel gave his
name to this project by virtue of re
cent resolution of the county court,
died at his home in this city last
Saturday. Mr. Smith lost a fight of
several months duration against a
malignant illness in the course of
which he underwent a major opera
tion in The Dalles two months ago.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Christian church Monday
afternoon in charge of Phelps Fu
neral home, with Rev. R. C. Young
officiating. Many relatives and
friends joined in paying final re
spects and the many flowers added
to the tribute of affection.
Matthew Clay Smith, always fa
miliarly known as "Mack," was born
to pioneer parents at Echo, Sept. 26,
1875. His parents having crossed the
plains with early day pioneers were
among the early settlers at Echo.
Coming to Heppner early in life, he
wedded Miss Letha Devin, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Devin, in this
city, December 31, 1902. He worked
with stock for a number of years and
at one time was city marshal for
three years. For several years he
held the position of straw boss with
county road crews and always held
the friendship of all with whom he
came in contact. He was in charge of
construction work on the Ditch
creek-Willow creek diversion chan
nel from the beginning, and after
completion was in charge as main
tenance man until his illness forced
retirement. His exceptional interest
and capable work on this project in
spired the county court to cause the
ditch to be known by his name.
Besides the widow, Mr. Smith is
survived by a son, Austin I. Smith,
of Portland; daughter, Mrs. James L
Leach of Lexington; one grandchild,
and the following brothers and sis
ters: Tom of Echo, Ivan of Calif or
nia, Martin of Monse, Wash., Mrs.
Lewis Scholl of Wasco, Mrs. Scott
Churchill of Shell, Mrs. Otto Bur
son of Aumsville, Mrs. Ethel Powell
of Eugene.
Among out-of-town relatives at
tending the funeral were Tom Smith
of Echo, Mrs. Lewis Scholl of Was
co, Mr. and Mrs. Austin I. Smith of
Portland, Mr. and Mrs. James L.
Leach of Lexington, and all of Mrs.
Smith's family except a sister, Mrs,
VEUa Walton of Walla Walla, who
had visited at the Smith home last
week.

Mrs. Ridings Enjoys
Kindergarten Work
In New York Church
Reflecting the cosmopolitan na
ture of New York is the kinder
garten class taught 'by Mrs. Gor
don Ridings, nee Marjorie Clark,
at Riverside Memorial church
there last year. Mrs. Ridings has
just completed her year of teach
ing work there and is visiting at
the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. M. D. Clark, while Mr. Rid
ings who taught in Columbia uni
versity junior college service at the
same time, went on to the home
of his parents at Eugene.
Mrs. Ridings said her smartest
pupil was a Chinese boy while she
had one negro pupil. Scandina
vians, Italians, Irish and other
nationalities were included along
with a liberal number of real
Americans. She said she found the
work extremely interesting, being
impressed with the reaction of
parents to world happenings.
New York evidenced a strong
influence by the boycott on Jap
anese made goods, with the wear
ing of cotton clothing extremely
popular among all classes. Well-to-do
ladies did not hesitate to don
cotton stockings, she said. Some
interest in cotton was lost, how
ever, when word spread that many
of the cotton articles were manu
factured in Japan.
Specialist Gives
Hints on Choice
Of New Curtains
New curtains will do the same
things for a room that a newly-leafed
tree does for the garden, or a new
dress for one's personality, says Miss
Joan Patterson, extension specialist
in home furnishings at Oregon State
college. They can make an individ
ual seem to be living in an entirely
different environment, she feels.
Curtains can be simple or elabor
ate, according to the taste of the
homemaker, but it is wise to re
member that curtains have special
duties to perform, Miss Patterson
says. They soften the structural lines
of the window, soften otherwise
glaring light, and help to tie to
gether all the colors and patterns in
the room.
In addition to these important rea
sons for their existence, curtains
also serve as a part of the back
ground along with the walls, to set
off the furnishings rather than fight
ing with them for attention in the
room, says Miss Patterson. If the up
holstered furniture and the rugs are
of figured designs, it is unwise to
have figured draperies, elaborate net
curtains and flowery wallpaper, she
believes. Plain, simple backgrounds
will set off the figures in the fur
niture. Among curtain materials that Miss
Patterson recommends for this pur
pose, because they will wear well,
wash well and remain good looking
for several years, are plain scrim,
marquisette, theatrical gauze, rayon
net, simple cotton nets and voile.
It is wise to select good quality ma
terials that will hold up under the
testing strain of jerking the fabric
and sliding a finger nail across the
weave.
Color fastness is important too,
and it is well to select curtains of
neutral tones such as white, cream
or ecru, because they hold up well
against the light, she says. Colored
curtains, though pretty and some
what of a fad at the time they are
bought, do not have the lifetime
wearing quality that the homemak
er plans for a pair of curtains, and
in the end are a poor investment, she
believes. It is better to express the
desire for color in the wallpaper and
other furnishings of the room, she
feels, and points out that the house
looks better from the exterior too if
all the windows, on the front of the
house at least, display curtains of
the same color.
