ker writes his parents Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Baker as follows: o
April 3
Dear Folks:
Everything is fine, we're in north
Africa. The weather is pretty nice
here warm in the day time and
cool at night. It looks just like
home, lots of hills with greasewood
on them. I sent a cablegram on the
way over. Did you get it? The first
part of the trip was pretty rough,
most everybody was seasick, but the
last part was OK. '
How is everything? Tell them, all
hello for me. I can't think of any
thing else that would pass the cen
sors so HI stop for now.
Love
Clarence

Youth Welfare is
Task Accepted by
Parents, Teachers
Physical Fitness
Seen Need in Light
Of War Experience
Physical fitness is the watch
word of the Parent-Teacher assoc
iation and from here on that or
ganization will direct its efforts to
ward building up a stronger, more
self-reliant generation, Mrs. B. C.
Forsythe of Ashland told members
of the business men's luncheon
forum in weekly meeting Monday
at the Lucas Place. Mrs. Forsythe,
spending a week at the home of her
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Dick, last week at
tended a conference of the state
executive committee of the P-TA
in Portland and brought much in
formation to the attention of her
listeners.
Experiences in the present war
demand that more attention be giv
en the physical fitness of our
youth, the speaker contended. Due
to our mode of living in the per
iod preceding Uncle Sam's entrance
in the war, many of our boys were
undeveloped physically and this
weakness has been displayed in
numerous cases, particularly at
sea, where youths who were pro
jected into the water by one cause
or another lost their lives because
they lacked the experience and the
stamina to pull themselves aboard
by the life line thrown to them.
The Parent-Teacher program is
comprehensive and is directed to
ward developing an intelligent, for
ward looking generation that will
be prepared to shoulder the respon
try. Careful study has been made
sibilities of government and indus
of those agencies which have con
tributed to the startling rise in ju
venile delinquncy and this blot on
our national history will be erased
if sufficient outside support of the
association's program can be mus
tered. Briefly, the P-TA envision?
a cleaner, heathier, more intelli
gent generation to carry on the
principles of democracy for which
the young manhood and young
womanhood of the land are giving
their all today.
J. O. Turner was chairman at
Monday's meeting. Blaine Isom's
name was drawn for next Monday.
Band Plans to
Buy Instruments
Purchase of much needed instru
ments is the plan of the Heppner
school band in annuoncing the
annual band dance to be given
Saturday evening, May 1 at the
Elks hall.
Wartime restrictions have made
attendance at the district contest
at La Grande an impossibility, it
is stated, consequently the band
will use the profits realized from
the dance in purchasing equip
ment. Since their manufacture has
ceased for the duration, instru
ments are at a premium and in
creasingly difficult to obtain.
Weather permitting, the band
will march down Main street on
the evening of the dance with
the usual musical accompaniment.
The "Men About Town" will
play for the dance which is sched
uled to run from 9:30 to 1:30.

War clouds hanging over a large
part of the globe will not deter
church people of Heppner from ob
serving Easter in the accustomed
manner, according to plans an
nounced by the several religious
groups of the town. The only threat
to the program is rain clouds and
this would hamper only the an
nual treck to the crest of Morrow
hill where sunrise service is sched
uled to start at 6 a .m. Should it
rain, this service will be held at
the Church of Christ. All persons
have been invited to participate,
with Martin B. Clark bringing the
message.

direction of F. F. Wehmeyer and Ed
Parker, the Boys Scouts under the

Declaring Ceilings,
Filing of Menus Lot
Of Stores and Cafes
Many Morrow county merchants
will receive notices from the local
war price and rationing board this
week relative to their posting of
ceiling prices.
Some of these notices will be sent
to merchants whose filings are
satisfactory except for the signa
ture. In other cases the local price
panel is merely making a routine
checkup to ascertain whether mer
chants may have overlooked filing
supplementary lists of stocks added
since March of last year. Since the
war has necessitated a good deal of
substitution in stocks, most mer
chants will find it necessary to file
these supplementary lists occasion
ally. Any inquiries which' cannot be
answered by the local price panel
will immediately be forwarded to
Portland, where prompt replies are
sent either to the ' merchant or to
the price panel.
Any notification from the Office of
Price Administration such as those
being sent from the local office, are
to be acted upon by the merchants
receiving them within ten days.
Business places may correspond
with Price Panel members by mail
or telephone if unable to see them
personally. Inquiries may be left at
the Heppner War Price and Ration
Board office.
Price Panel members are Mrs.
Rachel Dick, Mrs. Evelyn Isom, and
Mrs. Katherine Burchell.

Volume 60, Number 4
County Lagging
On Bond Sales
Reports Indicate
More Concerted
Effort to be Made
In Closing Week
Tabulations made by members of
the Second War Fund Drive com
mittee early this week indicate
that "Morrow county is not living
up to its well earned reputation
for coming in first on most of the
war activities. As a result of these
tabulations the committee has re
doubled its efforts to pull the cam
paign out of the doldrums and from
here on out every citizen consid
ered as a likely prospect will be
given an opportunity to do hia
share in smashing the Axis.
While the drive had' been on for
a week previous, the campaign -sound-off
was made Saturday eve
ning when a street program brought
out several hundred people to hear
the Heppner school band play and
to listen to speeches in behalf of
the war loan. P. W. Mahoney, "E"
bond chairman, briefly outlined
the object of the meeting and in
troduced Supt. George A. Corwin
of the Heppner schools, who sub
mitted facts and figures substantiat
ing the government's call for the
greatest loan in the country's his
tory 13 billion dollars and mak
ing a plea for Morrow county to
meet its quota.
Mayor J. O. Turner was intro
duced, who made an appeal from
a patriotic standpoint, calling at
tention to the sacrifices those in
the armed services are making and
minimizing the secrifices of those
at home. All ready four Morrow
county men have made the supreme
sacrifice, three others are held
prisoner by the enemy and one oth
er reported missing. In the order
named these are Kenneth Warner,
Lexington; Jim Stevens, Hard
man; Ernest Clark, Heppner; Eldon
Allen, Irrigon; Paul Brown, Hepp
ner; Norman Griffin, lone; Clayton
Davis, Lexington and Henry Stotts,
Heppner. In closing, Turner stated:
"Many of us here have not many
more years upon this earth, and,
my friends, it is going to be with
a mighty heavy heart, that I go to
meet my maker, if I learn, with the
passing years, that the money I
might have invested in bonds,
would have saved my boy."
B. C. Pinckney, chairman of the
war loan fund drive, took time to
state that Morrow county's official
quota had been set at $350,000 and
that up to Saturday evening ap
proximately $32,000 had been in
vested. There has been some activity in
bond buying this week, but it lacks
the punch the committee would
like to see and arrangements are
being made for another ttreet
meeting this Saturday evening. The
band has been asked to appear and
the chairmen will appoint speakers
if it appears expedient.

name is optional with that party
but the editor must know who is

VISIT SISTER HERE
Misses Idella and Mamie Martin
of Madras were week-end guests of
their sister, Miss Myrthena Martin,
primary teacher in the Heppner
school. Irregularity of travel sche
dules between central Oregon and
Heppner prevented their remaining
here more than one night. It was
their first visit here.
