Civilians Warned
To Keep Outside of
Bombing Range
Civilians are warned that the
bombing range is closed 24 hours
a day and that anyone venturing
upon the government territory
either night or day is doing so at
the risk of his life. The range is
being used every day and some
night bombing is being done as
well.
This information was supplied
Wednesday "by Lt. R. Wolfe, bomb
ing range commander, who was in
Heppner from Boardman. He spoke
of ranchers riding the bombing
range in search of stock and stated
that these people are taking their
lives in their bonds, so to speak,
as the practice bombing and ma
chine gun firing must be carried
out according to direction. He ad
vised that stockmen should let
the stock take the risk of being
killed rather than taking that risk
themselves.
Lt. Wolfe visited this part of the
county to pick up ammunition col
lected by children and others on
the bombing range, or adjacent to
it. He asked that persons picking
up bullets not keep them but turn
Ihem over to the sheriff at once.
The powder in the army munitions
is twice as powerful as that per
mitted for civilian use, he said,
making them extremely dangerous
to handle.
Talent Displayed
In Piano Recital
Interested relatives and patrons
of music found much enjoyment in
the offerings of the pujpils of Mrs.
J. O. Turner in annual piano recital
at her home Saturday evening. Be
cause of the size of the class the
program was necessarily long but
interest remained at a high level
throughout. Sometimes the enter,
tainment value was drawn as much
from the efforts of some of the
little tots as in the music, for there
is always a cerain amount of stage
fright to contend with, yet all dis
played a knowledge of the instru
ment and how to get music out of it.
Two of Mrs. Turner's pupils who
have been studying with her since
they were scarcely big enough to
sit up to the piano played their
final class recital Saturday. Mary
lou Ferguson and Jean Turner are
graduating from high school and
will go to college. Both turned in
excellent performances and will be
missed in future recitals.
Mrs. C. C. Dunham was guest
soloist, singing Dawn, by Curran;
Pale Moon, by Logan, and L' Amour
Tojours-L'Amour, by Friml.
It fell to the lot of Terry Thomp
son to present Mrs. Turner with a
gift from the parents of her piano
class, a beautiful lapel watch. Terry
did the honors like a veteran "pre
senter." DRIVE TO JOSEPH
Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Parker drove
to Joseph Sunday to visit their
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Airs. D. E. Mitchell. They found
Mr. Mitchell's condition very seri
ous and Mrs. Parker decided to re
main awhile. Mr. Parker returned
home Wednesday.

Volume 62, Number 6
Dumbarton Oaks
Plan Points Way
To World Peace
Prof. Poling Says
Principles Should
Be Accepted
Admitting the Dumbarton Oaks
plan for world peace is idealistic,
Prof. Daniel L. Poling declared it
for bringing about a lasting peace
is workable and has the machinery
if the family of nations adopts it
as the rule and guide of their
future conduct.
Prof. Poling was speaking before
a group of farm folk and towns
people in a joint meeting of the
Morrow County Farm Bureau and
the Heppner chamber of commerce
at the I. O. O. F. hall. He placed a
chart of the Dumbarton Oaks pro
posals for the general international
organization in front of his audi
ence and discussed it by points.
It was explained that the Dum
barton Oaks proposals are not bind
ing upon the nations in formulat
ing peace plans, but the speaker
believes that they are broad enough
to be adopted. Neither is the char
ter concerned with peace terms.
But it is concerned with carrying
out the peace terms as decided up
on at the conclusion of hostilities.
Of first importance is the general
assembly comprised of all peace
loving nations. Then there is an
economic council the function of
which will be to control trade re
lations. The security council in
cludes 11 members headed by the
big five United States, Russia,
Great Britain, France and China
and six little nations. Any type of
world organization will include the
big three, United States, Russia
and Great Britain, the speaker de
clared. A political science teacher him
self, Mr. Poling touched rather
lightly on the economic phases, al
though he cleared several points
for inquirers.
About 75 people heard the Dum
barton Oaks discussion, following
which the farm bureau held a bus
iness session. E. R. Jackman, dis
trict manager for the State Farm
Mutual Insurance company was
present and explained the advan
tages of the protection his concern
offers. The State Farm Mutual is
sponsored by the farm bureaus of
25 states and is the biggest surety
if this kind in the world.
Orville Cutsforth gave a report
on a meeting held in Hermiston
Tuesday evening to discuss -rural
electrification. Seven Morrow coun
ty men attended the meeting, in
cluding R. B. Rice, George Peck,
Oscar Peterson, Henry Peterson,
Henry Baker, J. J. Nys and Cuts
forth. George Peck reported on a meet
ing at La Grande similar to the
one held here last night at which
time former president Georee W.
Peavy of Oregon State college was
the speaker.
Plans were laid for the June
meeting of the bureau which will
close the season's schedule. Meet
ings will be resumed after harvest.
CAST TO PENDLETON
FOR RADIO APPEARANCE
Saturday afternoon the cast and
choruses repeated their oharming
musical fantasy "Over the Rain
bow" from the broadcasting station
in Pendleton. The production was
necessarily shortened but the con
tinuity was not destroyed. Thirty
five youngsters accompanied their
directors to Pendleton. Their ef
forts came over very satisfactorily.
"Over the Rainbow" was presented
first at the Heppner school gym
nasium on April 20 as the annual
spring festival under the direction
of Miss Rose Hoosier and Everett
Smith.
