School May Fete
Vies Against Wind
As Many Attend
Track Meet, Music
Festival Attract;
Picnic Lunch Held
Blustery weather was a blow to
en joy ability of the annual county
school May day festivities here Fri
day, but events went off as sched
uled and many school children and
parents from all over" the county
were in attendance.
The morning track meet, in which
both boys and girls participated.
got a better break on the weather
than did the muse festival in the
afternoon. A cold wind blew as the
festival was staged on the school
lawn, playing havoc with the nice
decorations that had been put in
place, and competing with the
youthful voices for command of the
air. In spite of the wind, however,
Boardman grade school pupils
wound the Maypole, the Heppner
graders performed their Dutch
dance, and choruses sang lustily.
Heppner school band added to the
attraction by playing numbers to be
played at the regional contest in
Portland the end of next week.
At noon a large picnic lunch was
enjoyed in the school lunch room
and on the school lawn where
planks on "horses" had been placed
to accommodate the children. Hepp
ner lions helped extend the city's
hospitality by serving fruit salad
and the county teachers' organiza
tion served hot chocolate and cof
fee. Stores closed from 12:30 to 1:30
to permit all who cared to attend.

AS WELL AS VOICES
Telephone service, with its friendly "Number,
please?" and "Thank you!" does more than speed
the affairs of a workaday world. It joins people in
happiness, transmits their smiles as well as their
words. It's personal communication between people
near or far. Low-priced, too.
