E Pluribus Unum
T TNCLE SAM'S thirteen original
colonies recognized the neces
sity of union for strength when the
first articles of confederation were
signed leading to growth of the
world's greatest nation. And through
the years the backbone of America's
governmental structure has been
signified by the Latin phrase ap
pearing on the nation's money.
"E Pluribus Unum," literally
translated, "Of many, one," recog
nizes the individual as a part of a
unit, out of which is gained the log
ical axiom, "In union there is
strength."
Probably no greater or more force
ful example of strength through
consolidated effort, directed over a
wise course, may be found than in
the growth of the American govern
ment. Its structural composition has
been a model for the uniting of many
elements within the nation social
or religious groups, civic clubs, ag
ricultural or labor groups, commer
cial bodies, all in striving for greater
accomplishment have followed the
pattern of union originally set out
in the constitution of the country
itself.
Feasibility of united effort, wisely
directed, has been so thoroughly es
tablished throughout history, and
so many truisms have been written
regarding it, that it would be impos
sible in a short space to recite the
record.
This week two instances of united
effort are claiming the attention of
Morrow county people. A public
meeting was held here Tuesday to
encourage the organization of a
commercial club which some people
believe would be a broader vehicle
for united effort in striving for fu
ture development than has recently
existed. Secondly, there is the East
ern Oregon Wheat league meeting
being held tomorrow and Saturday
at Condon, with the organization of
wheatmen striving in their field to
reach goals similar to those which
a business men's organization in
Heppner would seek to attain.
Fundamentally, the interests of
business men and wheatgrowers,
and, in the final analysis, of all peo
ple residing in this district, are iden
tical. All must look to progressive
steps digging out the weeds (ap
plied literally to farming, figurative
ly to business), finding short cuts
to economy, and, most important
making friends, that their needs may
have a sympathetic ear, or their
wares a willing customer.
Wisely directed, a commercial
club would find a fertile field for
effort in Heppner. The skeptic may
look at the wheat league as an ex
ample. It has been a successful ve
hicle for attaining improvements
within the area's wheat industry, and
so far-reaching has been appraisal
of its work that at the Condon meet
ing this week end, representatives
of eleven states will be present, giv
ing this meeting really national im
portance. The wheat league has proved it
self. A commercial club here, how
ever, is striving for rebirth. Com
mercial clubs have come and gone
in Heppner. In proceeding now, it
would be wise to determine what
were the mistakes made in the past
that these may be avoided, and in
the light of such intelligent advice
as was given at Tuesday's meeting
by W. S. Nelson of The Dalles, to
build with as solid a foundation as
possible.

Lighted white tapers in candel
abra burning before huge white and
yellow chrysanthemums banked

march as the bridal party entered
the church.
The bride was a picture in her
wedding gown of white chiffon,
floor length, with a tulle veil ar

hair. Her only ornament was a
strand of pearls, and she wore long
white mitts and carried a white

bon shower in which were tied tiny
white rosebuds.

winsome flower girl in a yellow taf
feta frock, floor length and a yellow
taffeta poke bonnet.
A reception in the church fol

cutting a beautiful wedding cake
which centered the serving table.

For a Successful Child
Every parent and teacher owes
their child or pupil great consider
ation anil thought. Each child is an
individual and needs to have his
thoughts and actions directed along
the right channels. To give him an
opportunity for success, a back
ground must be built up from pre
school days, and continued until he
enters adulthood.
Before the child enters school the
parent can do much toward making
his schooling one of pleasure. Broad
ening of the child's interests by trips,
simple picture books, and answer
ing his many questions, is one of the
ways to build up his want for know
ledge. Often parents consider them
selves too busy for these things, but
children are naturally curious and
if treated with consideration they
will advance rapidly because of their
desire to learn.
The success of anyone depends
greatly upon one's health. Before a
child enters school, he should be
given a complete physical examina
tion. If any defects are found, they
should be corrected. Any child en
tering this unknown field of school
ing where everything is new and
strange should not have handicaps
to hinder them.
The physical examination must
not be the end, but diet, rest, and
exercise should receive great atten
tion. No child can do exceptional or
even average work if he is tired or
hungry. Parents must guard these
things with great care and see that
their child is ready each morning
to assume that which will be offered
him during the day.
Every teacher must make the pu
pil feel as if he is socially a member
of the group. If this is not done, the
child's personality soon becomes
warped or stunted arid he does not
respond freely.
A good personality is a necessity
for a happy life, and if an individual
lacks this quality, his social and
business relationships will be lim
ted. Since the foundation is started
so early, the parents and teachers
must give every opportunity which
will broaden the child's activities.
Through the cooperation of parents
and teachers much can be done for
the welfare of the child. He can
gain knowledge, health, social se
curity, and broadened interests,
which will insure him of future happiness.
