Football Boys Honored
At eight o'clock, "Saturday, Decem
ber 2, one could see the high school
student body gaily wending their
way to the gymnasium for the big
football dance.
The gym had been decorated as a
football field with goal posts of gold
and purple crepe paper at each end
beneath which was written "So Long
Football '39," and yard markers at
the side. On the middle of the back
wall was a huge yellow football
with pictures of all the football play
ers on it. Above the football was the
word Mustangs.
Punch and cookies were served
from a table that had been made to
look like a small football field with
tiny goal posts and a lined field,
An enjoyable time was had by all
who attended.
Ping-Pong in Limelight
This week a ping-pong tournament
with both girls and boys participat
ing got into full swing with matches
being held continually. Some of the
outstanding matches ended as fol
lows:
Bud Blakely downed Bill Blake,
23-21, 19-21, 21-18; Glen Fell beat
Don Frederickson; Don Bennett
beat H. Armstrong; H. Wray beat
G. Davidson, and Bob Pinckney beat
R. Hayes.
In the girls' division Helen
Knowles beat C. Drake, A. Johnson
beat M. E. Florence, J. Hays beat K.
Thompson, C. Adams beat N. Bleak
man, Dorothy Howell beat Wilma
Beamer, and H." Healy beat P. Doo
ley. When the tournament is finished
the results will be compiled into a
challenge ladder and play will con
tinue as long as anyone wishes to
advance his or her position on the
ladder.
Support the Operetta
This year, as has been the custom
for several years, the high school is
presenting an operetta. Many stu
dents feel that it is given only by
the chorus and since they aren't in
the chorus they won't help.
The directors go to quite a lot of
work to make this operetta a suc
cess and still some students won't
be good sports and help.
An example of poor cooperation
is the dancing practices. Miss Blair
is willing to give her time to help
the dancers learn their steps but
when the time comes for practice
only a very few persons will come.
Now that the entire cast is practic
ing on the stage you can at least try
to come to practice.
For those students who don't have
any part in the operetta they can
still do their part by advertising and
selling tickets.
The student body will give a prize
of three dollars to all persons sell
ing over twelve dollars worth of
tickets. It isn't as hard as it seems;
you start selling tickets now.
Guess Who!
A "reserved" freshman boy, dark
and handsome, keeps up tradition of
freshman-senior romances; recent
ly made his debut as a famous radio
announcer.
Facts About Our Students
Clara Adams, the editor of the
"Hehisch," is 16 years old and was
born on September 1, 1923. She has
attended school in Heppner all but
the fifth and sixth grades when she
attended school in Hardman.
Clara's ambition is to edit a per
fect paper. Her hobby is collecting
souvenirs and snapshots. On com
pleting school she intends to go to
O. S. C. to take secretarial science.
When asked who her favorite boy
was, she answered, 'None of your
business!"
Clara's favorite sport is football;
song is "South of the Boarder;" pic
ture, "Beau Geste;" actor, John Gar
field; actress, Bette Davis; teacher,
Miss Doughty; color, blue; and her
Gazette Times, Heppner,
mil
Washington, D. C, Dec. 7 Amer
icans have an idea that they are bet
ter educated and have higher living
standards than other countries, but
every once in a while some govern
ment agency comes along and punc
tures the inflation. While the Pacific
northwest has scarcely a trace of il
literacy, a four-year survey reveals
that of the 75 million adults in this
country, 3 million did not finish
elementary school; 18 million did not
finish the fourth grade, and three
million are entirely illiterate. There
are one million children of elemen
tary school age not enrolled.
This information is revealed on the
eve of the congressional session be
cause educators fear that appropria
uons ior education may be sacri
ficed for the national defense pro
gram to be sponsored by the ad
ministration next month.
resident tooseveit nimseit says
that one-third of the nation is ill
fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and one
of his special committees asserts that
one-third of the workers of the
country have an income of less than
$500 a year.
Fur farmers of Washington and
Oregon, specializing in raising silver
foxes for the market, are threatened
with competition from Canada, which
also has quite an industry of this
description. Officials of the depart
ment of state are preparing to re
vise the trade treaty with Canada
to permit Canadians to ship their
silver fox and other furs into the
United States, this "good neighbor"
gesture being made because the
European war, in which Canada is
a belligerant, has closed the Euro
pean market to Canada. A quota is
contemplated on furs from Norway
and Sweden to furnish them an out
let. Every few days lately some gov
ernment bureau announces what a
great country is the Pacific north
west, with its latent resources of raw
material and what can be accom
plished with cheap electric power.
Latest prediction comes from bureau
of mines, which asserts that the
ceramics industry promises to be
more self-sufficient as a result of
investigations of the bureau in the
regions served by Grand Coulee and
favorite subject is economics.
Clara's ideal boy is about 5 feet 8.
He must have a fairly good person
ality, must be neat and not conceit
ed. She doesn't care about his ath
letic ability.
Gossip
We are still wondering what went
on at Hermiston, Saturday. Joe, Nor
val, Guy, Lowell and a few, others
all shook hands that they wouldn't
tell anything. (Gee, it would have
made good reading.) I wonder who
drove back. It was kind of foggy???
that night.
There was a hot time in lone, Sat
urday night. took a carload
down after the football dance and
added to the two couples that were
already there. Some dance!
Kemp Dick has gone in for six
day bicycling. It would have been
six days if some one hadn't picked
him up coming back from Lexington.
I'll give you one guess on what he
was doing down there.
We hear Hugh is going to be a
printer. At least he was making news
Saturday night. (Lib Healy, of
course.)
Mary K. Blake left the dance
rather early, Saturday night. Alone?
Figue it out for yourself.
Seen down at the creek: Jean and
Joe claiming they were getting wa
ter for Biology.
It looks like Jack Merrill went to
Hermiston for something besides the
basketball game. It couldn't be to
see Joyce McCulley on business!
Oregon
Bonneville.
There are valuable deposits of
clay in the two states, explains the
bureau, and with power all that is
neessary is for someone to get busy.
Kaolin, the clay used for fine por
celain, is found in Washington, and
there is an occurrence in Lake coun
ty, Oregon.
Navy department is adamant re
garding requirements for the air
base at Tongue Point. It insists on a
hangar 240 x 160 feet being con
structed of steel although lumber
men had the specifications made to
include timber trusses and the wood
would save the government $8,600.
Puget Sound and Columbia river
mills telegraphed the navy depart
ment and senatorial delegations urg
ing wood and called attention to the
trusses of wood in the International
Livestock exposition building in
Portland as an example of efficiency.
The hangar at Tongue Point will
cost $233,000. '
Federal Surplus Commodities cor
poration will be in the market soon
for surpluses of several foods in the
northwest. On the list of items to be
purchased, later to be distributed to
needy and low income families, are
dried prunes, fresh apples and pears
and dried onions. If there is a sur
plus of butter and eggs they also
may be purchased. In the past six
weeks 80 carloads of onions have
been bought by this agency in Mai
heur county, Oregon, and dozens of
carloads from western Idaho. An
agent is investigating the onion sit
uation in Marion county. A possible
purchase of flour from millers pro
cessing Inland Empire wheat is an
nounced. Next month every business con
cern will be visited by census enum
erators. This census is distinct from
the nose-counting of the entire pop
ulation which will start several
months later.
