Air Sickness Not Funny Except When It's Other Fellow It's one thing to laugh at the other fellow about something a bit embarrassing that has hap pened and quite another thing to have the same thing happen to you. Two weeks ago when the U-T referred to Mrs. Ed Bucknum's tittle unpleasantness while on board a plane bound for south ern California, A. A. Scouten, whose office is in the same room as the Flower Shop, enjoyed a little ribbing at Mrs. B's ex pense. Not rubbing it in, mind you, but just having a little laugh. Last week there was no laughing on Scouten's part when aboard a transcontinental airliner bound for Washington D. C. He didn't stop with mere ly asking the stewardess for the usual cup. He shouted "Boy, Bucket!" Henry Baker, who was Scout en's traveling companion made the trip without incident. 50 Years of Progress to Be With Celebration By Heppner Marked Iks Saturday, Feb. 22, 1947 will go down in local history as a red letter day in the life of Hep pner lodge No. 358, B.

Dr. Browne has just mov ed to Heppner from Portland and as a surgeon is personally inter ested in having hospital facili ties where people of the county may be taken care of at home rather than having to go else where. It is a business proposition for the town as well as for the doc tors, he pointed out. People com ing to the hospital bring a cer tain amount of business with them other members of their families, their friends who come to see them, etc. The restaurant man, the service station opera tor, dry goods merchant all reap some benefit and a properly conducted hospital is a good ad vertisement for the community. Frank Turner stated he would like to see some action by the highway committee. He urged that the group visit some of the meetings of the state highway commission at an early date to see what can be done about some of the road projects in this vicinity. The luncheon group will re turn to the Lucas Place next Monday unless word from Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lucas is to the effect that they will not be home in time to get ready. o , . . t. 1 , n . ,ror,ar oL,v,ii,, w j. uv.6v.v..i, . iHttiici, 4. vj.

Barratt is chairman of Fathers, Sons Vie In Gastronomic Contest at Dinner A lot of fathers, some young, some older and others just plain old like to think they can hold their own at the banquet table and most of them do but at least once each year the fathers around these parts learn some thing about lusty appetites. That's when the annual Boy Scout father and son banquet is neia. Monday evening, at the Meth odist church, between 50 and 60 dads and sons gathered around the festive board for the annual banquet. It was an excellent potluck meal served by Mrs. Ted Smith, Mrs. Joe Meek and Mrs. Sorlein. Diners lined up. took plates, knives, forks and spoons and selected what they wanted cafeteria style. Those fortunate fellows who always get at the head of the line some of them emptied their plates and rejoin ed the line before the less for tunate ones got their first serv ing. All this time the men were n't idle either, but they were not so aggressive as the young fry and if the food consumption could have been measured out by ounces it is likely that the man to boy contest would have gone to the boy by a consider able margin. Such is youth! A growing boy's worry is not about what food will do to his figure but how much more there is in the kitchen. Cliff Hansen, assistant field executive for the Blue Mountain council, was present and show ed several movie films of Scout activities at camporees in Pen dleton and at Mission. He also told of the forthcoming Scout circus to be held at Pendleton In May. There was only one candidate for the court of honor Monday evening.

REA To Receive Bonneville Power From Hermiston Line To Be Built To Jordan Siding Officials State Early construction of a trans mission line from Hermiston to Jordan Siding to carry Bonne ville "juice" for the use of Mor row and Gilliam county farmers affiliated with the Columbia Basin Electric Co-operative was announced this week by A. A. Scouten, manager of the local Rural Electrification Adminis tration unit. Scouten, in compa ny with Henry Baker, president of the CBE, returned last week from a trip to Washington D. C. where the matter of getting early action on construction and operation of the project was ironed out. Plans call for transmission of the Bonneville power over the line of the Pacific Power & Light company from Walla Walla to Hermiston and thence over the new line to Jordan Sid ing where the REA substation will be located. This move was made neces sary by the fact that the propos ed high line from Bonneville up the Columbia can not be built at this time. With materials coming in for the REA lines, the local officials felt that delay in construction now might lead to indefinite postponement of the project. To avoid a tie-up they made arrangements for carry ing the Bonneville current over the P. P. & L line as stated. The Hermiston, Jordan line will be run as directly as pos sible between the two points, Scouten said. That means it will cross the sand hills to the wheat belt of the north Lexington dis trict into Jordan. No details or inside informa- was revealed by Scouten rela tive to the understanding be tween the power company and the REA, but it may be presum ed that the new line will be the means of bringing relief to us ers of the P. P. & L. service when difficulties such as occurred last eek force suspension of power for several hours. Constructed to carry 66,000 volts, the Hermis- ton-Jordan line should be able to bolster up the company line without weakening the service to its own customers. With preparations about com pleted to start work on the REA lines, Scouten warns members ho have changed or contem plated changing locations, to keep in touch with the central office to avoid confusion in the construction plans. ormer Heppnerite Weds in Ireland E.

County's Share of Palio Fund is $948 Final tabulations of the 1947 infantile paralysis fund cam paign has been made and Chair man Francis Nickerson anoun- ces that Morrow county's share of the drive amounts to $948.18. This is 50 percent of the amount subscribed, the other half of the fund being forwarded to the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Total gross proceeds were S2. 014.77. An expense item of $2 reduced the fund to $2012.77. A further item of committee or ganization expense, $116.42, brot tne net proceeds down to $1, 896.35. Nickerson stated that the first time he took heart during the drive was the day he went around to collect the March of Dimes boxes. Not that the boxes brought in much, but the fact that almost every business house where the cans were placed handed over checks running irum iu up to mucn larger am ounts. That gave the drive chair man more than a ray of hope and by the time the funds were all In he realized the current drive was one of the most sue cessful ever conducted here.
