Ellis Carlson has been transfer
Ted to the Pomeroy district of the
Umatilla National forest where he
will occupy the same position that
he held here. Ellis worked on the
Pomeroy district previous to com
ing here in 1940. He has worked in
various positions on the Heppner
district and has been in charge of
fire control on the district for the
last two seasons. Ellis is being re
placed by Louis Gilliam who has
recently been discharged Jrom the
navy. A farewell party for ElUs
was held at the home of Glen Par
sons Thursday evening, April 25
Thirteen of his friends were ore-
sent and the number seemed to be
unlucky for Orville Smith who won
the booby prize in the games that
ensued. Glen Parsons and Leonard
Pate won the first and second
prizes. Refreshments were served
by Glen Parsons, ably assisted by
Glen Jorgenson. Ellis was present
ed with a hassock as a going-away
gift for use in the new Carlson
home.

Louis Gilliam, the new district

teach maintenance work on trails,
roads and telephone lines. Since
his return, Louis has taken a crew
out on maintenance work and put
to practice what he had learned.
At present they are at Tupper
guard station.
Pemits to cut 2000 fence posts
each have been issued to Edmond
Rice and L. R. Washburn.
A history of the Heppner district
since it was first established in
1907 is being compiled by Ranger
Jorgenson. Clarence Bisbee of
j Spray called at the office recently
ana a great deal of early day in
formation was received from him.
Mr. Bisbee worked for the Forest
service soon after it was establish
ed and built the cabin at Dixon
which has since been torn down.
It would be appreciated if anyone
having personal knowledge of the
personnel or work on the district i
prior to 1926 would call at the
office at their convenience and
pass it on to us. When the history
is completed we will publish it, in
this column.

charged from the navy, and Or
ville Corley of Gurdane were hired

Willie Wells is one of many G.I.'s
stationed overseas to keep the
Peace. Not to forget them, let me
describe a snapshot that he sent.
It's the inside of a house where
Willie's quartered . . . except the
boys have fixed it up as much as
possible to look like a typical
American home. They've hung up
pictures of their families, culti
vated a stray puppy for a house
pet.
And the snapshot' shows Willie
and his buddies sitting by their
hearth, drinking friendly Ameri
can beer and reading the home
town papr. "Almost like being
back in Clover Corners," says the
caption.
Prom where I sit, that "almost"
packs a lot of meaning. Thousands
of our boys are still overseas, try
ing to make their quarters home
like, even to the pet dog and the
friendly glass of beer. Let's not
forget to write them often re
mind them that home is waiting1
and it's not an "almost" home
either.
