Armistice Assembly, Nov. 10.
Hermiston Game, Here, Nov. 11.
Benefit Dance a Success
The recent benefit dance held for
La Verne Van Marter who is ill at
the Emanuel hospital in Portland
was very successful. Approximately
$90 was taken in at the dance and
the high school students sold $69
worth of tickets. The music 'was
contributed by Merrill's orchestra.
National Education Week Planned
Education week this year has
been set aside for the puropse of em
phasizing the system of education
in the United States in comparison
with foreign nations.
In foreign countries, such as Ger
many and Great Britain, education
above high school and often grade
school, is impossible except for the
very wealthy. In this country, how
ever, it is universal, opening its
doors to all the people.
The aims of education are self
realization, human relationship, ec
onomic efficiency, civic responsibil
ity, love of learning, and freedom.
( Each day of the week has been
set aside for the discussion of these
subjects in the classroom.
The final discussion will be free
dom which will be discussed na
tionally the eleventh of this month.
Education helps each person to
make the most of his talents by de
developing certain atitudes, appre
ciations, knowledges and skills. In
addition to regular subjects, worth-1
while experiences are provided in
extra-curricular activities, such as
school dances and parties, plays, and
club activities.
The education in the United States
is tolerant and seeks the truth thru
open discussion. Students are al
lowed to present their personal opin
ion in ciass aiscussion. in many
countries this is not possible in any
way.
Band to Play
The Heppner school band, thrice
winner of a state championship, is
due to make it's first appearance of
the school year. The ' organization
began work diligently this week on
patriotic numbers to be played Sat
urday morning at the Armistice day
services. During the last three weeks
the band has been trying out some
new numbers. The purchase of some
of these numbers has built up the
repertoire of the band to a point
where, through rotation of num
bers, no difficulty will be encoun
tered in arranging for more appear
ances in the future.
Mustangs to Play Hermiston
On Armistice Day the Heppner
Mustangs uphold a custom of long
standing by playing Hermiston. The
Bulldogs have had a rather unsuc
cessful season this year, having lost
more than they won. However, Her
miston is an A school and conse
quently must play teams from larger
schools.
Condon is a team that both Her
miston and Heppner have played
this season. On Condon's home field,
Hermiston beat Condon 19-6 while
Heppner beat the Blue Devils 18-0.
The annual clash between the
schools is usually characterized by
its intensive fight and sharpness of
play. Last year Heppner beat Her
miston over there, 6-0. The game the
year before ended in a 6-6 tie.
Girls Attend Convention
Last Saturday, Nov. 4, four Girls'
League delegates, Cecelia Healy,
Clara Adams, Pat Dooley and Fran
ces Wilkinson, and Mrs. Adams at
tended the convention at Umatilla.
The schools represented were Mac
Hi, Pendleton, Weston, Stanfield,
Lexington, Boardman and Heppner.
Though there are only 18 girls in
the Umatilla Girls' League, it pre
sented a very successful convention
and entertainment.
An hour in the morning and in
the afternoon were devoted to group
discussion of such subjects as the
following: health, friends, leader
ship, recreation, grooming, and vo
cation. As an added privilege the group
was addressed by Miss Helen Moor,
dean of women of Eastern Oregon
College of Education. Miss Moor
spoke on the subject of personality
and personal relationship between
friends.
"House of Horrors" Nov. 17
The "House of Horrors" deals with
the story of two ex-chorus girls,
one of whom has just inherited an
estate known as "Cantrell Mansion."
The girls, arriving late one night,
find to their dismay, instead of a fine
estate, an old house badly in need
of repairs and with a local reputa
tion of being haunted. Instead of be
ing vacant, the house is inhabited
by some amazing people. There is
Guppy, a young one of twenty with
the mind of a child of nine, and fond
of playing dangerous games with
knives and bows. There is Marya
who is kept locked up because she
is thought to be crazy. There is
Singh, religious mystic from India
And there is Voriloff, a Russian ad
venturer. What are all these peo
ple doing in the house? The girls
find out after three acts of fast and
furious action. And, as a good meas
ure, both of the girls find romance
in this thrill-packed, laugh-crammed
House of Horrors."
Facts About Our Students
Guy C. Moore, our 19-year-old
student body vice president, was
born in Heppner on September 4,
1920. After completing six years in
Heppner grade school, Guy moved
to Pine City only to return to Hepp.
ner in his sophomore year. Besides
being vice-president of the student
body, Guy is the local president of
the F. F. A. (of which he has been
a member for three years) and state
president of the 4-H club.
On completing high school Guy
intends to go to Oregon State col
lege to major in agriculture.
On being asked who his girl friend
is, Guy said, "I'm the independent
type." If I were to give my personal
opinion I would say Cecelia Healy
would answer this question.
Guy's hobby is 4-H club work.
His favorite sports are football and
track. His favorite song is "The
Lamp is Low" and his favorite show
is "Lost Horizon."

AT 4tHE ; -
Washington, D. G, Nov. 9 When
anti-trust suits were filed recently
against 236 railroads the department
of justice, in effect, placed the gov
ernment in the position of suing it
self. The charge is based on a pro
vision of a law enacted in 1935 re
quiring the railroads to enter into
agreements with trucking lines for
the through routing of freight, a
provision with which the roads have
refused to comply.
' Peculiar phase of the situation is
the fact that the government, thru
the Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion a government agency has
loaned the railroads millions of dol
lars and has purchased stock in rail
way companies until it is now a con
siderable holder of these securities.
It is a stockholder and partner in
the corporations it accuses of violat
ing the anti-trust laws. This is only
the beginning of the government's
prosecution of itself. It has advanced
cash to so many industries includ
ing purchase of shares in banks
that it cannot proceed against them
without jeopardizing investments
made by it of taxpayers money.
The principal practically the only
reason the government has been
compelled to come to the aid of the
railroads in order to keep them go
ing, is the ever-increasing tax bur
den. Added to this is the fact that
the railroads paid for their own
super highways" of steel and pay
out of their own pockets, for main
tenance in competition with other
means of transportation the "high
ways for which are provided large
ly at public expense.
One of the troubles bothering the
public utility districts of Washing
ton state is raising funds to build or
acquire a system to use Bonneville
energy. A similar problem confronts
the PUD advocates in Oregon. To
obtain finances one county in Wash
ington has applied to Reconstruction
Finance corporation for $225,000, and
suggested that Administrator Raver
of Bonneville himself make a plea
to Jesse H. Jones, chairman.
The Washington PUD wishes to
offer as security for the RFC loan
an issue of revenue bonds. The value
of a revenue bond depends whether
the PUD makes enough revenue
above operating expenses to pay
interest on the bonds. As a revenue
bond is of uncertain value and
Chairman' Jones is a hard-headed
business man, decision of RFC will
be important to every PUD in the
two Pacific northwest states.
For Oregon PUDs to take advant
age of RFC funds (if that agency
adopts a policy of financing these
districts) Oregons' law must be
amended and a draft is now being
prepared by a young brain truster
which will be given the Oregon
State grange to sponsor.
Bitter criticism of the wage-hour
administration has been laid before
that agency by the operators in pon
derosa pine, which means practic
ally all logging and lumbering oper
ations east of the Cascade moun
tains. Owing to climatic conditions,
about 40 per cent of the operations
are seasonal and in nine months em
ployes and employers have to hus
tle. Wages, hours and working con
ditions have been satisfactory to
those engaged, but the wage-hour
administration has changed all that.
According to law, seasonal work is
exempted. Application was made by
operators last March for this ex
emption but delay in decision by
the administrator practically par
alyzed the seasonal operations this
year. The administrator refused the
application in mid-October, seven
months after application was filed.
No more scathing denunciation of
the law and its administration has
been received than that sent by rep-
resentatives of the industry in Ore
gon and Washington.
Anticipating distribution of Bon
neville energy through public and
private systems next year, Electric
Home and Farm authority, a gov
ernment corporation, is prepared to
cooperate to enable consumers to
purchase appliances of all sorts.
Appliances are sold by regular deal
ers on the installment plan; the
monthly collections are made by
adding the installments to the elec
tric bill and these payments are
forwarded to the federal agency
which buys the installment contract
from the dealer.
The "peeler log" bill, passed by
the senate and waiting house action
in the regular session, is intended
to increase employment in the
northwest. To expedite its passage
Senator Holman of Oregon has writ
ten to the secretaries of agricuL
ture, commerce, state, and labor and
to the tariff commission to make a
study and submit their views in
January. In addition to being waste
ful, the peeler logs, after being ex
ported, return to the United States
in the form of doors and other ar
tides.
An eastern steel corporation is
considering the practicability of es
tablishing a subsidiary somewhere
in the Oregon-Washington area and
using electric power instead of coal
in manufacturing stainless steel. An
investigation is under way looking
for deposits of raw material in that
region. President Roosevelt has
given the idea his blessing and the
war department hopes something
will materialize.
In this column was recently cat
alogued a list of raw materials which
can be electrically treated, and all
within the Pacific northwest. Mr.
Roosevelt does not want industries
centralized in one community; he
wants them scattered.
