Luncheon Group to
To Hear Dr. Maaske
Members of the chamber of com
merce' attending the luncheon next
Monday at the Lucas Place will be
privileged to hear Dr. Roben J.
Maaske of Eastern Oregon College
of Education, who will speak on
"Progress in Peace Time." Dr.
Maaske will be in the county Mon
day to speak at the Farm Burean
meeting and was invited by the
chamber of commerce to be the
guest speaker.
The reason why Heppner was
not chosen to represent eastern
Oregon in the state football "B"
championship was given by Supt.
George Corwin at Mondays lun
cheon. Briefly,- the district cham
pionship was settled by a vote of
the several high schools and al
though Heppner received favorable
recognition from several schools
the total was inadequate.
While on the subject of football
it was decided that the chamber of
commerce will either sponsor
banquet for the football team or
co-operate with others who wish to
honor the boys. A report on this will
be made at the next meeting.
Miss Margaret Gillis made a plea
for active support for the Lexing
ton airport, stating that aviation is
here to stay and .that the entire
county should get behind the move
ment to make one good port here
as a start toward participation in
general air transportation.

WEEK-ENDED IN PORTLAND
Mr. .and. Mrs. B. C. Pinckney
spent Thanksgiving and the bal
in Portland. The Thanksgiving par
ty was composed of a group who
ance of the week-end with friends
formerly resided in Tacoma.
Volume 62, Number 36"
New impetus was given the B
bond sale campaign this week with
the entrance of two new candi
dates in the queen contest. Slow
to get started, it now looks like
some active campaigning will fea
ture the closing days of the drive
to sell $125,000 worth of E's before
the closing date, Dec. 8.
Heppner high school threw its
collective hat into the ring Tues
day by choosing Miss Jean Turner
as a candidate for queen. This was
followed today by lone high school
which decided to sponsor a candi
date as yet unnamed. This makes
a three-way race and Helen Healy
no longer feels lonesome.
Miss Turner was a member of
the class of 1945, Heppner high
school, and is a freshman at Ore
gon State college. She was popular
throughout her prep school days, is
an accomplished pianist and an
all round good student. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Turner of Sand Hollow.
Reports on the sale of E bonds
in the lone territory have not been
so good up to date and it is ex
pected that entry of the high school
into the campaign will stimulate
buying. The lone school has a re
putation to sustain in the matter
of war bonds and it is not likely
the young people will conduct a
wishing program.
It is not too late for other schools
or organizatins to sponsor queen
candidates. Boardman and Irrigon
can do as the other schools have
done, select a graduate or some
other young lady of the commu
nity between the ages of 18 and 26
and then go out and get the people
to buy E bonds.
FLASH! Just prior to going to
press, Supt. Legrand Cherry of the
Lexington school telephoned the
school has joined in the queen con
Gazette Times that Lexington high
test. Miss Majo Marquardt, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mar
quardt, is the candidate and will
be certified immediately. Miss Mar
quardt is a first-year student at
Eastern Oregon College of Educa
tion at La Grande.
Town Basketball
Gets Under Way
Basketball romped in close on
the heels of football in Heppner
when the lone and Heppner town
teams met in the season's opener
Tuesday on the local gymnasium
floor. Heppner came out on the
long end of a 24-12 score. The
teams are composed mainly of for
mer high school players and most
of the players are in poor condition,
necessitating a constant change of
team personnel.
The teams will meet at lone to
night. Ten men showed up for the Hepp
ner squad while lone had but six.
For Heppner were Jack Pickens,
Joe Aiken, Fred Hoskins, Don Ev
ans, Claude Drake, Don Hatfield,
Riley Richards BUI Padberg, Rich
Hayes, and Harry O'Donnell. Eu
banks, Ring, Doherty and DoJr
were four of the lone tenm wfcouc
names our informant rcmemb.'-ved,
there having been no score book.
The Townies plan to play
throughout the season and an
looking forward to a meeting witl
the high school team at an earlj
date.
