Vacations "ain't what they used to be" and teachers and pupils alike appeared cheerful about the re suming pursuit of elusive ideas Mondty morning. While all those spending their vacations in other places were successful in getting there and back ,it was evident that travel conditions are not entirely favorable and much of the pain of returning to work was alleviated. One new member joined the teaching staff Monday, bringing cheer to Supt. George' Corwin. Miss Cristobcl . Osborne has assumed charge of the eighth grade, a post filled by substitution the past two months since the resignation of Floyd Perry . Other members of the staff, with the exception of Miss Joyc eugil and Miss Frances Weaver who re mained here during the holidays, spent their vacations at distant points. Miss Margaret Wright went to her home . in Portland; Miss Evelyn Youngberg, Hillsboro; Mrs. Norbert Peavy and children were with her people in Idaho; Miss Lela Peterson visited her father and sis ter at Grants Pass; Miss Bonnie Bartlett wen tto Portlnad and will not be beak until nexxt Monday; a recent illness at her home at Stan Miss Rose Hoosier recuperated from feild, and Miss Myrthena Martin spent the week with her family near Mjadras. The faculty men rested up at home . SUFFERS LIGHT STROKE Mrs. Sarah Parker suffered a slight paralytic stroke Christmas day. She was in usual health at breakfast, which she had in bed and later decided to get up. The first intimation the family had that anything was wrong was when they heard her fall. She suffered no injury from the fall but it was found that her voice was affected. Later in the day she was able to say a few words and she likewise enjoyed part of the Christmas din ner. "Grandmother" as she is known to relatives and friends ,is ap proaching her 99th birthday and has made her home with her son, Frank S. Parker, nad family for the past 15 years.

HANGERS COMING IN MANY MORE NEEDED A start has been made on Mor row county's quota of 1,000 coat hanger? for Camp Adair at Cor vallis ,but it is only a start. Dur brought in a few and doubtless more ing the week contributors have will come in when the people un derstand th eneed. Soldiers moving from one army camp to another are limitedd to the actual clothing arid supplies issued by the army. Coat hangers are not included. A tCamp Adair the men in training must face all weather conditions. They return to barracks with their suits badly soiled. It does little good to clean them, if they cannot be hung up so that they will not wrinkle. Therefore the need of good wire or wooden hangers (no paper hangers accepted.) The Gazette Times has a box just inside the fronot door to receive your contributions. Or, if in lone, give them to Rev. J. Fred Stilwell The need is urgent as training must go on and well you can guess what the weather is down Camp Adair way . RETURNS TO BEND Miss Teresa Breslin returned to her teaching job at Bend Sunday after a holiday visit a tthe home of her parents ,Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bres lin. She wrote back' that she en countered a snow storm along the Columbia which retarded travel and kept her on the road all day. UNCLE DIES AT WAITSBURG Mrs. Frank S. Parker and O. G. Crawford received word of the death today at Waitsburg, Wash.., of Hugh D. Dunlap, last member of a family of Oregon pioneers and a brother of the late Mrs. J .V. Crawford. He was born in Linn county more than 83 years ago. Up until quite recently Mr. Dunlap made an annual pilgrimage to the valley to attend the Brownsville reunion and picnic, participating in the oldtime fiddlers' contests which he frequently won. Funeral ser vices will be held at Waitsburg at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mustangs Ready Continued from First Page from last year's undefeated "B" squad are Bothwell, Lovgren, Ken ny, Schunk and Parrish. A big loss hit the team when Ulrich, di minutive guard, was forced to give up basketball due to doctor's or ders. Only a freshman, he had proved himself one of the outstand ing scorers on the team. Heppner boasts one of the out standing records in eastern Oregon as far as the win and loss columns are concerned. Her basketball teams have won 41 games out of 46 play ed, averaging 39 points to the op ponents' 23. Very few of these games have been push-overs, as the Mustangs have bowled over by quite large margins such top "B" etams as Union, Arlington, rGant high, Helix and Umapine. Also Hermiston, an "A" school, has been beaten four times in the last two seasons. Some of these teams have upset conference members of the Blue Mountain league. Much shorter and less experienc er thna in past years, Coach Lyle Swenson's Mustangs are still ex pected to be in the standing as one of the top "B" teams of eastern Oregon .
