6 Heppner Gazette
Group Considering
Pasco Hospital in
Activities for Year
By Mrs. R. I. Thompson
Much interest was displayed at
the committee meeting held June
17 at the Ralph Thompson ranch
in the work being planned for the
coming year for the patients at
McCaw hospital, the Veterans hos
pital, the seven wards at Walla
WaUa air base and the four wards
at the Pasco naval air station.
A group of committee members
plan to go to Pasco station this
week and perhaps they will decide
to furnish a sun room off one of
the four large wards there. This
work has been rather neglected by
the council and so far our county
has done little for the boys in the
navy.
Collections are coming in slowly
from some parts of the county and
other places are doing a fast job in
a very fine manner. Orchids this
week should go to Mrs. Fred Man
kin and the peaple of lone and
vicinity for their generous res
ponse, to Ed Rugg and the people
oC Rhea creek who have been so
generous and to the following so
licitors who have gathered in so
much cash from the east side of
Heppner: Mrs. Sprinkel, Mrs. Ed
Bennett, Mrs. Max Buschke, Mrs.
Leona Marquardt and Mrs. Law
rence Miles. It looks at this time
that the committee will be able to
continue the work started a year
ago and for which the patients at
McCaw and the commanding offi
cer, Col. Gaines are so grateful.
; Some feel Morrow county is do
ing more than its share, but with
1200 patients at McCaw, the wards
which care for 200 men at Pasco,
the seven wards at Walla Walla air
base and the boys with tuberculosis
at the Veterans hospital you know
that one ' county can do just so
much and no more and that other
counties in the council' are doing a
good job as well. Patients are pour
ing in at McCaw and will continue
to arrive in greater numbers from
the invasion of France and they
are happy in using the gifts our
money has supplied. The recorder
passes so many lonesome hours and
the boys can "talk" letters home;
the little piano finally has wheels,
and entertainers who go to McCaw
roll it from ward to ward. The
phonograph in the recreation room
and the many records purchased
with Morrow county money does
much to pass time which hangs so
heavily when boys can walk but
still must remain Ln the hospital.
The money for the telephone call
home that is given at the monthly
birthday parties at McCaw is such
an appreciated gift as well as the
small things which we wrap and
send for prizes in the Bingo games
which the boys insist in playing
each Saturday night. We could
send money for birthday cakes as
with so many more patients the
cake fund does not make the
rounds.
COMPANY CREDITS COUNTY
QUOTA WITH $G,0OO
Of a total of $500,000 in war
.bonds purchased by the Pacific
Power & Light company, Morrow
county will receive credit for $6,
000 on its Fifth War Loan quota,
K. A. House, local manager of the
company, announced today.
. The half million total thus, in
vested in war bonds normally
would be expended by the com
pany for , improvements and addi- .
tions to company properties.. Be-'
cause of war time shortages of:
materials, which limit construction
to bare necessities, the company
olficials are making this sound in
vestment in war bonds to provide a
suitable fund for post-war ex
pansion. Each county in which the
company operates will be credited
-with its share of the $500,000 bond
purchase.
ANNUAL PICNIC SUNDAY
Mrs. Percy Hughes will be hos
tess to the congregation of All
Saints church and their friends at
a picnic at her -home following the
morning prayers at 11 o'clock. All
tttending are reminded to bring
their own table service in order to
eliminate dish washing.
