Auction Benefit
Nets Band $370;
Public Much Fun
Concert Last Eve
ning Winds Up Year;
Good Record Cited
Ask anyone who attended, and
he'll say the big community auction
benefitting the band last Saturday
was "more fun than a barrel of
monkeys." The generous contribu
tion of articles, hard work on the
part of solicitors, auctioneer and
helpers, as well as the generous bid
dings all of which resulted in a net
profit of $370 to the band brings a
hearty appreciation from' Harold
Buhman and members of the band.
They say the money will be used
for purchase of instruments needed
to improve the organization, rather
than purchase of new uniforms.
V. R. (Bob) Runnion hesitated but
little in turning over the stock of
merchandise, including everything
from babies' diapers to electric raz
ors, and several surprised customers
found themselves paying for some
thing on which they had not bid. A
latter example was Judge Bert
Johnson who no more than got with
in earshot than he heard a kid's
wagon knocked down to him at 25
cents. He divvied up and sat in the
vehicle. Assisted by Harvey Miller
as clerk and Mayor J. O. Turner as
collector, "Bob" went on for several
hours while the changing crowd
was " pleasantly entertained and j
what seemed an unlimited number
of articles was finally all carried
away.
At its annual free concert last eve
ning, the band proved its worthiness
of support and expressed its grati
tude for the public help, as it did
also before and during Saturday's
sale, giving its all to help the cause
along. Last night's program was a
review of the year's work and drew
appreciative response from the large
audience.
Mention of the effort extended at
the auction would not be complete
without also acknowledging assist
ance of the Boy Scouts, who aided
in assemling the articles for sale
and in delivering them to the bid
ders. As the band year now comes to a
close, its president, Lowell Ash
baugh presents the following review
of its history, entitled "The Band
Takes It":
In 1930. just 10 years ago, shortly
after Harold Buhman came to Hepp
ner, Mr. Buhman asked for a turn
out of all persons in school who were
interested in band work. A turn
out of 17 members comprised the
first' Heppner school band.
Since that start, the band has
made a real record for itself. In
1936 they took first place in the
"D" division of the state contest at
Corvallis. In 1937 the band journey
ed to Corvallis to rate the only su
perior rating given in their class. In
1938 the band again outclassed the
other bands to gain the only super
ior rating. Nineteen -thirty-nine
brought a. change in the contest
rules. In the district contest held at
La Grande, Heppner took a superior
rating which entitled them to attend
the national contest at Portland, for
which they were entitled to the
plaque now hanging in the assembly
hall. The Heppner band again took
tne nonors m ia4i with a superior
rating at La Grande.
The band has continued to grow,
until today it is many times its or
iginal size. It's still taking the high
honors, and we are sure it will con
tinue to do so.
No matter where we may go, in
Oregon, or in the neighboring states,
the people know where the little
town of Heppner is, because they
have heard so much about the
Heppner schoil band. The band has
put Heppner on the map.
The annual band concert on May
28 wound up the band program un
til it comes time for the annual
Heppner Rodeo.
Next year, the band will have a
much better instrumentation, which
was made possible by the white el
ephant sale.

REDEDICATION SERVICE AT ALL
SAINTS CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY
In connection with the "Forward
in Service" movement and in re
sponse to the Presiding Bishop's re
quest, parishes and mission of the
Episcopal church throughout the U.
S. A. have recently been observing
"Roll Call Sunday." Whitsunday,
June 1st, has been set aside as this
Sunday for All Saints Mission when
a service of Rededication will be
held followed by a celebration of
Holy Communion, at 11 a. m. Arch
deacon Eric 0. Robathan will offi
ciate and preach. Invitations have
been sent to all members of the
congregation and it is expected that
a large number of communicants as
well as those interested in the work
of the Episcopal church will attend.
Coincident with "Roll Call Sun-,
day" Whitsunday is also observed
as the birthday of the Church at
Pentecost.
On this day all the young people
of the church will join in the cor
porate communion of the church's
youth. It is estimated that 500,000
young people will unite in such ser
vices from coast to coast.
In connection with "Roll Call Sun
day" and the first steps in the "For
ward in Service" movement the Pre
siding Bishop has said:
"Having rededicated ourselves to
the cause of Christ, we must set out
to bring forth the full capacity of
all members of the church. With
God's help we can succeed in mak
ing this church of ours what a
Chistian church ought to be; a body
of men, women and young people
who like the first apostles found
that Christ is the Saviour; a body
who because of what Christ has
done for them, will face the world
with the conviction that there is no
other name by which the world
can be saved."
