o Budget Requests
o Draft Machinery
GOP Big Gun
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. Budget requests filed by
the various state activities covering
their estimated needs for the 1941-
42 biennium total $19,902,000 or $5,
766,000 more than was appropriated
for these same activities by the last
legislative session. Budget Director
David Eccles who is now busy whit
tling away at these requests has in
dicated that they will be pared down
to approximately the size of the
1939 appropriations before he com
pletes his job.
Estimated needs of the state insti
tutions alone aggregate $6,510,758.86
which is $2,000,000 more than was
appropriated for the same institu
tions two years ago. Largest request
is from the state hospital for insane
which estimates its needs for the
biennium at $2,039,815.56, nearly
$800,000 more than its 1939-40 ap
propriation. Most of the budget es
timate increases are accounted for
by requests for new buildings, bad
ly needed at some of the institutions.
Machinery for registering Oregon's
male population within the draft
age was set in motion here this week
with the appointment by Governor
Sprague of Lt. Col. Elmer V. Wooten
of Salem as state director of selec
tive service. The governor announ
ced that the state's election machin
ery would be used for the registra
tion and that all draft and appeal
boards would be composed of civil
ians. Colonel Wooten, a World war
veteran, will also be in charge of
the Salem office of the military de
partment during the absence of Ma
jor General George A. White who
will spend most of his time at Fort
Lewis as commander of the 41st
division.
Announcement of the promotion
of Mrs. Helen Beelar, from the po
sition of chief clerk in the executive
department to that of secretary was
made this week by Governor Sra
gue simultaneously with the an
nouncement that Cecil J. Edwards,
his secretary had been granted a
yeai s leave of absence to serve with
the Oregon national guard in which
he holds a captain's commission as
a member of the staff of Brigadier
General Thos. E. Rilea commander
of the 82d brigade. Sigfrid Unander
who has been employed by the gov
ernor as research director has been
promoted to the post of executive
assistant.
a
A total of 171G civilian trainees
are now enrolled in Oregon's nine
occupational centers according to O.
I. Paulson, acting state director of
vocational education. The largest en
rollment is at the Benson Polytech-
nic school in Portland where 672
young men are in training for jobs
in defense industries. The Eugene
vocational school has an enrollment
of 333 trainees; Salem, 220; Pendle
ton, 163; Oregon City, 150; Astoria,
72; Bend, 21; LaGrande, 45, and the
new school at Medford, 40. Plans
are under way for the opening of
additional training centers in this
state, Paulson said.
Oregon as a state will save as
much as $50,000 by reason of the
mobilization of the national guard
into federal service, according to
Major General George A. White,
state adjutant general. This saving
will come about through discontinu
ance of all state uniform allowances
and all alio wanes to national guard
units from state funds. While the
main office of the adjutant general
will remain in Salem the records
and property sections will be trans
ferred to Camp Murray to which
place a small staff of civilian clerks
will accompany the Oregon troops.
Sixty-four of the 74 law school
graduates who passed the recent
state bar examination were present
to take their oath of office which
was administered by Chief Justice
Rand in the supreme court rooms
last Friday.

Sept 27 Student Body Meeting.
Oct. 4 Football here, Condon.
Oct 4 Senior Dance.
We Need Pep
Students:
We realize that school has just
begun, and that most of you are busy
with your school work. One can not
expect you to have shown much en
thusiasm for school activities and
social functions as they have not, as
yet, gotten Into full swing.
Now that football season is here,
we should like to bring out the
thought that our boys cannot be ex
pected to put forth their best ef
forts if the student body isn't rooting
for them all the way.
Each and every one of us should
make it our responsibility to learn
all the school songs and yells, and to
exercise that knowledge at games.
We want to make this a record
year in Heppner High school for
pep and good sportsmanship. Each
student should make it his duty to
attend all games, plays, rallies, so
cial hours, and parties.
Remember, sportsmanship does not
include the novel practice of booing
your opponents the minute they take
the lead. A good loser is remember
ed for-his sportsmanship longer than
a winner.
In attending school social func
tions, don't be "a wallflower. Get into
the spirit of it. Learn new steps and
games. All of your ideas will be
gratefully accepted by our Social
committee.
We have a new floor in the music
room, which has been designated for
our use in social hours, and we
should take pride in making use of
it and the other new equipment.
The social committee is planning
to have several "nickel hops" this
winter to raise funds for new dance
records. They also have made plans
to add games, programs, and ex
gained considerable impetus this
week as the Republicans brought
their biggest gun none other than
Presidential Candidate Wendell L.
Willkie into the state for a series
of rear platform speeches at Klam
ath Falls, Eugene and Salem and a
major address at Portland on Mon
day morning. Everywhere along the
line the G.O.P. standard bearer was
greeted by enthusiastic throngs, all
of which is regarded by Republican
leaders as indicative of the popular
ity of their candidate and assurance
of victory for the Willkie-McNary
ticket in November.
It is, however, a bit early in the
campaign to venture any predic
tions as to the outcome of the presi
dential contest so far as Oregon is
concerned. Republican Chairman R.
H. Cake is claiming Oregon for Will
kie by at least 50,000 majority. Dem
ocratic leaders are making just as
extravagant claims for the Roose
velt-Wallace ticket. All of which
must be put down as wishful think
ing rather than conservative esti
mates. Especially is it a bit early
for predictions since Democrats have
not yet brought any of their big ar
tillery into play in this section of
the northwest.

hibition dances to the social hours
in the future.
Don't let us down! Let's make this
year one to be proudly remembered
by our school, faculty and the towns

F. F. A. Elects Officers
The newly elected officers of the
F. F. A. are as follows: president,
Dean Gillman; vice-president, Jim
Kenny; secretary, Bob Swick; re
porter, Douglas Drake; bulldog, Roy
Pettyjohn; Coop, mgr., John Lane.
These officers have pledged to make

the F. F. A.
Band Holds First Meeting
Last Thursday the band had its
first meeting of the new school year.
The new president, Lowell Ash
baugh, called the meeting to order.
Suggestions were made by members
to have new military uniforms for
the concert band. Mr. Buhman ap
proved of the suggestion.
Poultrymen Stress
Output, Marketing
Oregon poultrymen, including
those producing turkeys, chickens,
and eggs, took further steps in their
educational conventions at Oregon
State college, early in September,
to strengthen their economic posi
tion by improving production me
thods and developing marketing op
portunities. The turkey producers, attending in
larger numbers than ever before,
paid particular attention to the pos
sibilities of developing and protect
ing the increased breeding stock
business which has followed the
publicity gained for Oregon broad
breasted turkeys at the World Poul
try congress last year. An Oregon
turkey improvement association has
now been formed paralelling to a
certain extent the Oregon Poultry
Improvement association, which
makes possible a state supervised
improvement program consisting
both of disease control and system
atic breeding.
Unless Oregon turkey breeders
work together to protect the pur
chasers of breeding stock, as well as
their own interests, they will lose
the valuable advantage already gain
ed, warned H. E. Cosby, head of the
O. S. C. poultry department.
The broad field of service which
is the aim of Oregon State college
in relationship to all industries in
this state, was outlined by F. L.
Ballard, new president of the col
lege, in an address to the poultry
men. He showed how the agricultur
al policy in this state for a number
of years has been that of gearing
production to the less competitive
markets as a necessity in overcoming
the handicaps of distance from popu
lation centers. He reviewed prob
lems in other fields besides agri
culture, and said that among these j
is that of developing a sound forest
policy which will carry beyond the
present period of harvesting virgin
timber.
The Oregon Poultrymen's associa
tion chose Gerald Avery, Tualitan,
as president for the coming year.
Other officers elected were L. E.
Arnold, Albany, vice-president; F.
L. Knowlton, Corvallis, secretary
treasurer, and V. A. Parker, Blachly,
and H. E. Petersen, Junction City,
directors. The association adopted a
resolution, after some debate, favor
ing continuance of the present Ore
gon egg grading law.
Mattress Making
Coming to Oregon
The cotton mattress demonstra
tion program, by means of which
surplus cotton has been made avail
able for making cotton mattresses
by low-income families, is being ex
tended to all states of the nation
through the cooperation of the ex
tension service this year. Oregon will
participate on a trial basis with mattress-making
centers established in
only a few counties to start with,
according to W. L. Teutsch, assistant
director of extension at O. S. C.
Although the Federal Surplus
Commodities corporation supplies
the raw cotton to be used in making
the material, some specialized ma
chinery as well as a building suitable
for carrying on the work must be
provided in each county where the
project , is established, Teutsch ex-
Oregon
plains. After the machinery is set
up, supervision is provided by which
families with annual incomes of $600
or less are enabled to construct their
own mattresses.
Under the new arrangement the
state extension service will be res
ponsible for selecting the counties
to participate and also for the edu
cational work, organization, and su
pervision of cotton mattress demon
strations. In the 17 states that have already
used the program almost 1000 coun
ties have participated, and in these,
1,199,000 families filed applications
for cotton mattress material, and
more than 415,000 mattresses have
been completed and placed in use.
Orders have been received for more
than 117,000 bales of cotton to satis
fy the number of families already
certified as eligible to receive cotton
mattress materal in those states.
New Family Life
Series Set by KOAC
Oregon State College. The elev
enth annual series of radio club pro
grams on family life has just been
announced by KOAC, the state
owned station operated by the gen
eral extension division here. This
year's series will start October 8 and
will deal with "Our Changing Fam
ily Life." It will consist of both lec
tures and round tables and will be
officially sponsored this year by the
Oregon Congress of Parents and Tea
chers, of which Mrs. John Suther
land of Oak Grove is radio chair
man. Any group of friends or neighbors
may organize and enroll as a radio
study club for this series. The station
will provide program outlines, report
blanks, and other aids sent regularly
to the listening group in advance of
the meeting dates. No charge is
made for such service.
