Gabbert Tells of
Work Being Done
For Limbless Vets
Morale work among wounded
veterans of World War II with
special emphasis on those who suf
fered loss of limbs was the subject
of a talk by Holmes Gabbert before
the luncheon group of Heppner
chamber of commerce Monday
noon. Because he wears two artifi
cial limbs as a result of injuries in
World War I, Gabbert was delegat
ed by the American Legion to re
present that organization in a cam
paign to give aid and comfort to
men who have lost one or more
limbs in the present conflict.
In brief, the object of his visits
to the hospitals where these men
have been and are being treated, is
to help prepare them to help them,
selves when they are released from
hospitalization. The use of artificial
"limbs is demonstrated and sugges
tions offered for overcoming the
handicap of losing arms or legs.
Another man who lost both arms in
the first world war demonstrates
the use of a new type of artificial
hand which is not a hand but more
of a hook. The things he can do
are really marvelous, Gabbert said,
and his demonstrations are a great
uplift to the boys. The two Legion
men visit government hospitals all
over the country visiting army and
navy men alike..
Dr. Marvin Amick, who is visit
ing at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L.
D. Tibbies, was a guest at the lun
cheon. He is from Montana and
was a classmate of the Heppner
physician.
The club set Monday, Aug. 27, as
the date for entertaining the Ro,
deo queen and attendants at lunch
eon. There will be no meeting on
Monday, Sept. X

talent in photography. This talent
was developed to a higher degree

RECEIVES CITATION
Pfc Roy D. Johnson, corps of
engineers, while serving with the
army of the United States, distin
guished himself by heroic achieve
ment. From 10 Sptember to 12 Sep
tember 1944, Private Johnson, de
spite severe enemy artillery fire, as
sisted in evacuating over 200
wounded men across the Moselle
river near Arnaville, France. Due
to the close proximity of the ene
my, power craft could not be used
as the sound of motors would have
disclosed their activity and at
tracted enemy fire. Mannirg the
paddles, Private Johnson, an J his
fellow soldiers courageously made
many trips' across the river even
though all engineers were ordered
to withdraw. By the intrepid act.
ions of these men, many lives were
saved and others were inspired by
their exemplary devotion to duty.
The heroic achievement of Private
Johnson is in keeping with the high
traditions of the military service.
Pfc Johnson is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Johnson of Pendle
ton. He formerly attended school
in both Heppner and Lexington. He
entered the service of his country
from Pendleton.
ALL WE WANT TO KNOW
In a recent letter from Carl Mar.
quardt from the Philippines he ex
presses a desire to continue to re
ceive the G-T.
"Have been receiving th Heppner
Gazette Times regularly and I've
enjoyed them immensely. Ifs quite
a treat for a fellow overseas to sit
down a few moments and catch up
on the different things taking place
in his old home town. 'Course any
service man wishes this terrible
war was over with in order for him
to be reading his town paper on his
front porch at home where it was
meant to be read. However when
glancing over the paper it does
give a few pleasant thoughts of
peacefulness of the future and the
world to come. Would appreciate it
very much if it is possible for you
to continue sending the Gazette
Times. Thank you."
CARD OF THANKS

and others who came to our as.
sisance Tuesday and prevnted a
spread of the fire which threaten
ed to envelop the whole place. We
can only say it will be a privilege
to recriprocate in kind should the
necessity arise.
