Two outstanding operations of the society are canteen service in or near lighting areas and the prepar ation and shipping of food boxes, to American prisoners of war. She displayed one of the food boxes, which contained enough nourish ment to last one man several days. In 1941-42 the society prepared and sh:,pped approximately 1,250,(XJ0 cf these boxes. In the current jetfod, 1943-44, neary three and one-foui1h million boxes have, been prepared ,'end shrr;ed. Germany has permitt ed regular delivery of . the, boxes she slated, tut it has only been in recent months that Japan, has per mitted Uie supplies" to land. Referring to the forth coming 'membership" campaign, Miss Jack son: stated that Morrow countyls quota has been fixed at.$3G00.' This is considerably more than last year but. not. so much more , . than was subscribed. The 1943 quota was $2200 and the amount, received to taled $2700, " ' Wendell Herbison tendered a re port of the high school recreation project committee. The group had made quite an extensive study and had several proposals, one of which was renting the former bowling al ley building and fitting it up for the young people.

It is suggested that , any groups church- ; es, lodges, schools, granges or oth ers interested ' iii holding classes should contact the chairman now so that arrangements may be com pleted in time for fall work. As far as is known there are but two qualified instructors, Mrs. Anne Thomas and Mrs. Dorothy Schroe der. If there are others in the county, Mrs McClintock will deem it a favor if they will submit their names. ATTENDING RELIEF MEETING Clara B. Gerteon drove to Port land Wednesday to attend a meet ing of relief agency workers. She expects to be gone several days. Vi- Modern Machinery Plant at Lexington "A ANNUAL PANCAKE LUNCiiiiOI-i Shrove Tuesday, Feb. 22, will be observed in the usual manner by All Saints Episcopal church, with n pancake luncheon served from 11 a. n. to 1 p. m. in the parish house. It is not known whether L. E. Dick will preside in the kitchen as he has been under the weather the past few days, but if able he will be there to sustain his title as best hot cake cook in these parts.

Ralp Jackson is manager of the Lexington branch. rental of $50 a month and the addi tional expense . of fitting up the room. It was suggested that the bowling equipment might be pur chased and installed in the fair dance pavilion, using the rest of the hall for roller skating. , C D. Conrad made a report on his recent trip to San Francis co,, which while not revealing much of the business which called him and other members of the Grain Products board to the bay city, was quite illuminating relative to ex periences of a first-time visitor try ing to find his way around in the hiily, crowded seaport. Not only did he find driving the hills exciting, but at iirst glance he thought all the sailors in Uncle Sam's navy must be taking shore leave there. P. W. Mahoney made a brief re port on the bond drive, staling that most of the issues had been fully subscribed and that taking the to tals of the bond sold the county was safely ver the top. RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL Paul Aiken came to Heppner Sunday to visit) his mother, Mrs. Lilie Aiken. Paul has been dis charged from the tuberculosis hos pital at The Dalles and will go to Portland Saturday to look for some kind of a job he can handle. U3 Q r to o o ;1
