Mess Hall Will
Be Missed
NE feature of Camp Heppner
that will be missed by Morrow
county citizens is the mess hall.
More than once since the camp was
establishe here the mess hall has
witnessed large assemblages which
it woul have been difficult to ac
commodate elsewhere in Heppner.
Such a meeting was that of sports
men last Sunday evening. To feed
from 150 to 200 people is no small
job any time, yet Lieut. Marius
Hanford an, his boys handled the
job in a capable manner. The peo
ple of this vicinity know full well
that the boys at the camp are prop
erly fed for not only on special oc
casions, such as Sunday evening,
do the cooks show their qualifica
tions but on every day iare the var
iety and preparation of foods of a
type to promote development of
healthy bodies.
The camp will be sorely missed
in other ways, 'too. It has been a
comforting thought to know that
if assistance is needed, such as in
January when snow was cleared
from the walks, or the cutting of
Christmas trees and numerous oth
er services rendered by the CCC,
and when the camp is closed, as ap
pears quite certain at this writing,
these personal attentions will be
sorely missed.
.
Heppner may well be proud of its
school band. To have a large group
of young people molded into an ef
fective musical organization is a
good thing for any community. The
showing made by the band last
Saturday was creditable and altho
the results of their parade proved
disappointing to the young people
they should not be discouraged. It
is difficult to keep the public inter
est at a high pitch even if the
band's eficiency is well sustained.
Perhaps a little more ballyhoo was
needed to impress the crowd on the
street with the nature of the parade.
There was nothing of an advertising
nature in connection with the band's
appearance. A good announcer and

ning. Church Should be
Recreation Center
The modern church should take
the lead in providing recreation fa
cilities for the young people, in the
opinion of Rev. Mofatt Dennis, Lexington-lone
minister. Rev. Mr. Den
nis was speaking before the Lions
club Monday noon on the subject
of church union. His statement rel
ative to recreation facilities follow
e an outline of the work he is com
mitted to in his two-town pastorate,
namely, consolidating the several
congregations in each place into
one church.
Reasons for this consolidation, or
federation, are numerous and con
vincing, the speaker pointed out.
In the first place, any one of the
churches operating alone is unable
to pay the salary of a minister, keep
the church property in good con
dition and provide proper facilities
for attracting and holding the at
tention of the young people. By
uniting the several congregations
under one management, as it were,
it is possible for the minister to
draw a living wage and for the
church to offer better facilities to
those whom it wishes to serve. Rev.
Dennis has committed himself to
the task of building one strong
congregation in each community.
In Lexington he advocates using
one of the church buildings for
church services and converting the
other into a recreation hall. He ad
mits his program is a little bit in
advance of the prevalent idea in
the community, but is hopeful he
can get the people to see it his way.
Several Lions and others present
at the luncheon expressed opinions
coinciding with those of the speak
er. The Lions will not meet next
Monday but will assemble at the
hotel at noon of March 25.
THEY ALL ADVERTISE!
The hen is not supposed to have
much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg she
cackles for the fact;
The mule, the most despised of all,
has a most persistent way
Of letting folks know he's around
by his insistent bray.
The busy little bees, they buzz, bulls
bellow and cows moo;
The watchdogs bark, the ganders
quack, the doves and pigeons coo,
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks, pigs squeal and robins
sing
And even serpents know enough to
hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
that nature could devise
Will often stop and hesitate before
he'll advertise.
