'Cy' Aiken Sees Lively
Business in Prospect
That the United States is a -booming
from defense activity is the as

son of Mrs. Lillie Aiken, on a visit
here Saturday after a recent tour
of the east. "Cy," as' his old-time
Heppner friends know him, is now
of Portland and Boise, Idaho, and
represents the Blitz-Weinhard com
pany. Cy went to Detroit to get a new
car, took in the inauguration of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and saw many of the leading indus
trial cities on the route home. Signs
of- activity noted include two big
new General Motors buildings at
Flint, construction of another big
G. M. plant in Chicago, building of
a munitions plant at Kansas City
which will employ 25,000 men, new
air base at Fort Riley, Kan., besides
the munitions depot and air bases
in our own vicinity. All the big
cities, and smaller ones too, were
humming, Cy said.
At Fort Riley he protested army
buying of Argentina beef to a major,
and was told, "You darned fool, you
wouldn't get coffee to drink today
if we didn't buy some beef down
there," which gave him a new slant
on the beef question.
After describing the many signs
of activity, Cy asserted: "Fra telling
you this country is going places.
And after the war is over this na
tion is going to send men to all the
countries of the world to stamp out
fifth columnists, Fascism, Naziism
and the rest of those isms and estab
lish a standard of democracy thru
out the world that will stand. I'm
more American than I've ever been,
and I've always been a patriotic
American."

Fight Pictures!
The clarity of the photography and the preciseness of ex
pression on the in-fighting has been equalled only in simulated
films of this kind. This picture's a natural piece of entertainment.
Some may be attracted to the picture by the newspaper con
troversy over whether Joe Louis, the champion, delivered an
after-the-bell blow in the final round of the bout, but it will
take the sharpest of ears to catch the clang of the timekeeper's
clarion.
Junior Baer, brother of Max, gives a whirlwind account of
himself, demonstrating what sports writers call a "heart" but
which the more precise gentry define as courage par excellence.
