Two years ago Heppner was defeated in the semi-finals of the tourney while last year they gained 8 i,A MESSAGE ON WASHING! a ..VS B'TODAY V f i TO THE To you 3433 la themn&d Forces our 3433 soldiers, sailors tnd marines the J.

R. Powley, president. "The Pacific coast, predominantly affected by the impact of the war, experienced throughout 1942 an ex pansion in governmental, industrial and business activity unparalleled in its history," President Powley de its history," President Powley de clared. "Servng as it does this stra tegic section of the country, our company gave its undivided atten tion to the performance of its duty to our nation's all-out war effort. "As the year progressed," Powley stated, "More and more materials, in kind and quantity, vitally essen tial to the i continued expansion of our communication system 'went to war.' Notwithstanding the marked shortage and restricted use of ma terials, the unprecedented volume of telephone traffic, the stringent necessity 'to do more with less to do with,' and the many difficult problems of administration and op eration which the war has imposed, our constant aim has been to con duct our work that our steward ship would at all times be reflect ed in a service which met prompt ly and effectively the full require ments of the successful prosecution of the war."

No mere words could adequately express the deep joy that we feel in knowing that some day he will return to the home and friends that he loved so well in eas tern Oregon. However, our joy is tempered by the fact that many other brave and loyal lads will not return. Mr. and Mrs. Chris B. Brown Behind the Scene At Salem Continued from First Page paid for. That is fair enough if any one can write a good definition of an occupatonal disease The em ployer would like to have unem ployment compensation amended to bive them a better break but have so far not been able to stick to gether or to figure out any very good way to help themselves. Last session the workmen would have been glad to change merit and this time it is the employers. It de pends who is doing well at the moment. The little stuff has been pretty well cleaned up in the house, in cluding the salary bills, the code changes, the minor bills that con cern one or more counties. It looks as if the session could be finished in a couple more weeks if something does not intrude on the regular tenor of legislative ways. It is likely that something will, but the urge to get back to work, the urge to make a speedy session in war time may have enough effect that this session will end in fifty days. That is a very short time in which to pass the legislative work of an entire state for two years; it is a short time in which legisla tdrs are to study about the many and manifold matters of state and come to a decision on them.
