Credit should be given to the Pep club for its action in raising student interest in sports and the school spirit itself. This is the first time for quite a while that any action has actually been taken to develop support for athletic events, which in turn stim ulates school spirit and attendance at school plays and forms a better and more cheerful feeling towards the school itself. Congratulations, Pep club! Freedom Essential Freedom is a quality that we all like. It is sometimes defined as rest lessness, but even so it is a freedom 'in different form. There was a time when boys had all the freedom. That was in the pioneering age when there was land for everyone in the West. When boys would settle on this land, their restlessness would gradually disappear. But now the land in the West is all gone, and the boys are still restless. Their main re source is sports and occasionally cooking and sewing. There are Boy Scouts who, in order to express their pioneering spirit, go camping and live in the great out-doors. They be come internally interested in sports because they help feed the soul Girls join the Campfire Girls and Girl Scouts for the same reason." It gives them an outlet for the feeling they have accumulated only in the last few years. There was a time when girls would marry between the ages of 16 and 22. Nowadays girls don't marry so young; therefore, they have six or seven years in which to enjoy freedom. "The next generation," Dr. Van Doren stated, "does not believe in superstitions, which is a fine thing." They think quickly, and for that reason they need speed such as the automobile affords. They have found fun in thinking and experimenting Sometimes there is an unhappy end ing to this, but more often it is a happy ending. "Our civilization mustn't be built on skeptical ideas," Dr. Van Doren concluded, "and the rising genera tion by doing away with nonsense is fast giving us these ideas." D. A. R. Candidate Chosen Each year the National Society of the Daughters of the American Rev olution sends one girl from each state to Washington, D. C, paying all expenses. Willamette chapter of Portland is sponsoring the Heppner high school. The student body voted Tuesday on the five senior girls se lected by the Girls League Frances McCarty, Bethal Blake, Betty Rob inson, Sibyl Howell, Helen Egan and elected Bethal Blake. The qualifications are dependabil ity, service, leadership, patriotism, and scholarship. The winner's name is sent to the state committee, and from all names sent one girl will be selected by a drawing under the Heppner supervision of the superintendent of public instruction- She will be sent to Washington, D. C, starting not later than April 11 or 12, for a ten day stay. Every girl selected from each school will receive a Girls League pin. GAS HOUSE GOSSIP By JOE AIKEN The climax of color week was a success in every way it could be, with the exception of winning the game. The student body was rep resented by half the members at the game, and, by the way, filled the center section of the balcony. The ca pacity of the center section is one hundred, and it was filled with one hundred really lively rooters. We enjoyed a record crowd. Not since last year's tournament has the town supported a basketball game so well. Let s hope that the interest lasts a while, as we need the support and you need the excitement. As a rule statistics are dry, but these may be interesting to some. Out of nineteen gift shots, Heppner made five; Hermiston had thirteen, and made three. Heppner commit ted eleven fouls, Hermiston thirteen. At Hermiston in the previous game, Heppner received 11 gift shots and made 4; Hermiston received 20 gift shots and made 6. Heppner commit ted nineteen fouls and Hermiston only nine. Ohe or two of the high school lads are entered in the local firemen's smoker. These boys are going to fight in the inter-school smoker between Heppner and Hermiston in the near future. The lads are to be matched with men from the three C camp and men around town. Some talk has been going around to the effect that the Heppner squad has won several football champion' ships. In the past, when the league had a treasury, these pennants were given out to all championship teams. Heppner has won three of these in the last four years. One in 1935, one in 1936, and the last in 1938. In base. ball Heppner has won three consec utive pennants from 1934 to 1936 Again arises the question of whether or not Portland has the best eligibility ruling as to its high school athletes. The Portland schools are in favor of a nine-semester eli gibility ruling and no scholastic re quirements. There should be an age ruling, they believe, but five years of competitive athletics. They think a boy doesn't have to pass football to take English, so why should he be required to pass English to play football. This will mean that the competition will be greater in years to come. As you know, Portland was barred from all-state athletic events due to the nine semester eligibility rule. Portland schools will not be entered in the state basketball and track meets this year. The above ruling makes us really wonder who is the best in the va rious fields in state athletics. Last year the state basketball champions were Baker, while the Portland champs were Lincoln High. We wil never know who was actually, the best one can only guess. The present set-up for the basket ball league doesn't seem quite clear to everyone, so here it is: The U. C, A. L. is divided into two divisions one for the smaller schools and an other for the larger schools. The two leagues play for a champion of their respective divisions; then the cham pions play each other for the cham pionship of the Upper Columbia Ath letic league. That is all that hap pens; this doesn't decide who goes to the state tournament only the league champions. Here and Yon . . . Speaking of peculiar names, the Chemawa In dians of the Willamette league of fer the best we have so far seen; the names of five of their players are Woundedeye, Brokenarm, Backbone, Scalpsone, and Track. The B team still maintains its standard of an undefeated season, The Pendleton B team has lost but two games thus far in the season one to Athena and another to Hepp ner over there. Heppner has suffered four defeats and has gained five wins. There are still five more games for the local team. One of the Pendleton basketball players left an I. 0. U. for a show case which was broken in Chinn's restaurant. He thinks he steps too high. Gazette Times, Heppner, Odds and Ends Can you imagine Mr. Peavy bring ing a radio to the basketball games for self entertainment? According to Anna Marie, Lee Pettyjohn should be singing "I Gotta See Annie Tonight" Have you ever seen Harry O Don- nell standing on the corner of Main street with a baby in his arms? Maybe he was waiting for a taxi! Why did Joe Farley and Wilbur Worden go to the dance alone Sat urday night, after making arrange ments with certain people? Guy Moore was back in circulation at the dance Friday night Can you imagine Dean Gilman being excited over the semester ex aminations? The basketball boys are beginning to look forward to baseball season. Joe Aiken is now sharing his time with B. H Some people seem to be more in terested in cutting things out of this paper than putting new mater ial in it Omer McCaleb would like to have spelling as a combined subject with his English rv class.

The business men of Heppner were rooked out of several dollars by an individual selling them advertising space on a basektball play card that was never produced. Five Years Ago . . . The Benzine Ring held their annual initiation, The band was given forty-three dol lars and ninety-eight cents by the Odd Fellows. The Heppner basket ball team beat the Lexington hoop sters by a score of 10-6. The student body voted to suspend anyone from membership who had not paid his tax within two weeks after school started. Ten Years Ago . . . Boys lose and girls win in Heppner-Ione double header. lone beat our high school basketball team with the narrow margin of ihe local girls, however, defeated their opponents with a score of 19-15. The Heppner B team beat the Lexington team 25-20. Guess Who? Sex, Male; age 17; height 6 ft; weight, 148; eyes, blue; hair, brown; known by parliamentary procedure and interest in the library.

Editors Told Kind of Paper People Like University of Oregon, Eugene, January 23 A return to the good old-fashioned slogan, "all the news that's fit to print," instead of the motto of "speed at any cost" so com mon with many papers today, was warmly advocated for Oregon news papers by Arthur L. Crookman, city editor of the Oregon Journal, at the recent session of the annual Oregon Press conference, at the University of Oregon school of journalism. "People still like to see their names in print They also are more inter ested in their neighbors and what is Oregon going on in their own town than in any other place on earth. If news papers give their readers "home town' news, they will go ahead faster than any competitor who bases his claim to superiority on Hollywood columns, extensive wire services, or doubtful value features;" Mr. Crookham stated. Accuracy in reporting, an attract ive make-up, careful editing, and attention to details were cited as es sentials for good "home town" cov erage by newspapers by Mr. Crook ham. "Country correspondence" or those little paragraphs and stories of nearby communities, are a vital and necessary part of every weekly newspaper, and publishers should seek to improve this department in every way, it was declared by Gor don G. McNab of the Oregon Jour nal. Lack of attention given to this country correspondence was deplor ed by Mr. McNab. He recommended that papers seek out good corres pondents, train them to write well, and then pay thme adeuately. Editors today must still face facts in their communities and they must continue their papers as vital social factors through an unbiased presen tation of news and fearless editorials, it was declared by Governor Charles A. Sprague at the editor's annual banquet. Editors, like men in responsible political positions, should sense so cial changes, must understand the psychology of changing public opin ion, take into account human emo tions, and then act accordingly for the public good, the governor de clared. The governor traced the growth of journalism in Oregon, from the days before the Civil war when pa pers were almost wholly political, to the present scientific presentation of facts and leadership through in telligent editorial policies.
