Travelers Speak
Of Places Visited
On Recent Trips
Impressions of East
And So. Cal. Told
To Luncheon Group
Impressions of points visited
were told to members of the
chamber of commerce luncheon
group Monday noon by Mrs. O. G
Crawford and P. W. Mahoney.
Mrs. Crawford returned Sunday
evening from a four weeks trip to
the eastern coast and Mahoney
and family recently returned from
a visit to southern California.
Mrs. Crawford told of some of
the things she saw in New York
City in a crowded two-day visit
there enroute to Philadelphia.. At
tending services in the great ca
thedral of St. John the Divine
a building not yet completed al
thsugh started 54 years ago; of an
afternoon spent in Rockerfeller
Center and the ride through Cen
tral Park enroute to the center; of
a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty
as the ferry plowed its way to the
Jersey shore. Then there were the
interesting historical features in
Philadelphia, with a trip to Val
ley Forge, a glimpse of the Liberty
bell, and visits to some of the
oldest churches in the country, as
well as a jaunt to Atlantic City.
All of this was crowded in be
tween sessions of the General Con
vention of the Episcopal church.
Enroute home she visited Wash
ington, D. C. four days where her
brother-in-law and sister-inlaw,
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Crawford, and
Dr. C. C. Dunham's sister, Mrs.
Ruth Gillmore, put themselves out
to make it possible for her to cov
er as much historic ground as the
brief time would allow. Altogether
a grand time was had but home
looked mighty good,
ment for a sales tax in Oregon by
Mahoney gave some good argu
giving his impressions of the dif
ference between the school sys
tems of California and this state.
From what he observed and could
learn from informed sources the
sales tax has helped solve the
California school problem as well
as providing funds for other state
supported activities. A better sal
ary scale for teachers, better build
ings and better equipment have
been provided through this tax, a
considerable part of which is paid
by visitors.

Rumble's Spuds
Rival Neill's Onions
For Size and Quality
Onions or potatoes, it makes no
difefrence, they raise good ones in
Heppner gardens. We're not say
ing the best in the world, for
thee are too many people to con
test such a statement, but it can
be said with a large measure of
security that few sections produce
better.
Earlier in the season Commis
sioner L. D. Neill brought this of
fice a few samples from his on
ion patch. They were of superior
quality big, too, Monday of this
week, Frank Rumble stopped by
and deposited three average white
rose potatoes from his garden,
raised a few lots from Neill's on
ion patch. The spuds are not
above average size for that vari
ety but are healthy specimens
weighing close to one pound each.
They remained on the desk for a
few days and then ye scribe and
his family had a real baked po
tato treat along with some very
succulent venison steaks which
found their way to the editorial
desk through the generosity of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wilson.

DeerlKill Here Light
Compared With Army
Of Hunters in Woods
There is no correct figure of the
number of deer being taken out of
the mountains in this vicinity but
estimates indicate that the kill has
.been light compered with the army
of hunters scouring the woods dur
ing the first week of open season.
Reports are to be heard from some
of the local groups who went into
camp late last week and who
generally do not come out until
most of them have their buck
and the story may change as these
reports come in.
Hunters who do not have time
to establish camp complain that
the deer remain in the brush to
do their grazing, this in spite of
the fact that the weather is cool
which normally causes the wily
animals to graze the open spots.
That the deer are in the low coun
try is evidenced in the earlier
kills reported, several of them
having been brought in from the
foothills not many miles from
Heppner.
To date, the only kills reported
are of deer. Officer Edgar Albert
was running down a rumor Wed
nesday morning that someone had
been shot up Willow creek but af
ter several hours of investigation
the officer concluded that it was
nohing but a rumor or (quote)
"some guy onup half shot."
As usual there have been some
violations and the local justice
court is all set for a busy season.

Lexington Girls
In 4-H Clothing
Two Lexington 4-H club girls,1
June Van Winkle and Vesta Cuts
forth, brought honors to their
county and credit to themselves
when they placed second in home
demonstration work at the Oregon
state foir last month. Word of
their award was received by Miss
Katherine Monahan, home demon
stration agent for Morrow coun
ty, Tuesday from H. C. Seymour
state 4-H club leader, at Corvallis.
The girls demonstrated the
laundering of a wool sweater, sel
ecting this because wool growing
is one of the leading industries of
their county.

Competition was keen at the
state fair where nearly every
county in Oregon had one or more
demonstration teams, Miss Mona
han said, and added that the lo
cal girls performed in an efficient
manner. During the past few days
they have accepted invitations to
appear on programs of several or
ganized groups in tlie county. Both
game animal. It appears McDaniel
couldn't wait for the open season
what with the meat shortage,
and all that end went out and
bagged a buck. The judge felt the
experience would be worth 30 days
in jail and a fine of $30 and costs.
McDaniel paid the fine and costs
and the judge suspended the jail
sentence, but the meat supply will
have to be replenishd as the state
game commission took over the
illegal meat.
A hunter from Portland was in
trying to fix things up with Jus
tice Hager Wednesday morning
after Officer Edgar found the man
in possession of a buck with the
wrong tag on it. The Portlander
claimed his wife had killed the
animal and after tagging it had
returned home. After a little ques
tioning the officer decided there
were too many holes in the story
and cited him to appear at the
justice's office.
Word comes from over Ukiah
way that a group ot Portland
hunters visited that area by plane
shortly before season opening and
located the habitats of the deer.
Returning for opening day the
party went out and bagged five
bucks. (We're not trying to put
ideas into local hunters heads.)
In the meantime local meat shops
have been reasonably busy cutting
and wrapping deer carcasses and
by the end of this week there
should be a general rush for this
type of service-

that are already overgrazed The
study of facts indicates that you
can not have both large elk pop
ulation and a large deer popula
tion on a given area. The choice
will have to be made as to which
species of game animals is desired.
Morrow county sportsmen were
given this choice in the form of
an offer of a cow season on elk in
this area, with the idea of con
trolling the elk population to allow
for a larger deer population. A lo
cal representative of Morrow
county sportsmen protested the
cow elk season at a game commis
sion hearing early this fall. As
the writer sees it the meaning of
this protest is that the local sports
men prefer to have elk and are
willing to sacrifice the formerly
abundant deer herd. We can ex

Drive to Raise
$1500 Chest Fund 3
To Open Monday
Local, National
Agencies to Benefit
From Campaign
Opening of the campaign to
$1500 as Morrow county's quota
of the Oregon community chest
has been scheduled for the morn
ing of Oct. 7, Blaine E. Isom,
chairman, announced early this
week. Arrangements for the local
drive were made last week-end
when Irl McSherry, executive se
cretary of the state campaign, vis
ited Heppner and prevailed upon
Isom to again take the county
chairmanship.
The sura sought here this year
is considerably less than that asked
in previous years and it is not
anticipated that there will be much
difficulty in attaining the quota
and perhaps exceeding it There
are fewer agencies to be sustained
although some of those still active
require sizable, funds to carry on
their work.
Included in the forthcoming
campaign is an allowance for Boy
Scout activities, thus eliminating
one fund drive. It does not include
the Salvation Army due to the
fact that the army's scope of work
requires separae funding.
Solicitations for funds will be
made in Heppner only. The rest
of the county has been placed
on a voluntary basis, Isom stated.
People wishing to make subscrip
tions to the campaign may turn
them in at the First Naional Bank
of Portland, Heppner branch, the
Star Theater, or other places of
business.
This drive is separate from the
Red Cross membership campaign,
Isom pointed out He urges donors
to turn in funds at an early date
so that the campaign can be closed
at the earliest possible date.

Streets Patched By
State Highway Crew
Heppner's streets have been re
