Junior Chamber of
Commerce Formed

Men and Ranchers
Enroll in Club
Good Friday
Closing Hours
Heppner business houses
will remain closed from 1
p. in. to 3 p. m. Friday in
observance of Good Friday.
Latest addition to Heppner's
civic life was the formation Tu
esday evening of a junior cham
ber of commerce, the member
ship of which consists mostly of
business men and ranchers of
the surrounding territory 35
years of age and younger. Ap
proximately 35 names were en
tered upon the roster at the Ini
tial meeting held in the rear of
the Columbia Basin Electric Co
operative room in the Oddfel
lows building.
After the objective of the JCC
was stated to the group, the
organization was accomplished
in short order, with the follow
ing officers elected to serve the
first year: Bill Barratt, presi
dent; Glenn Parsons, vice-president;
Walt Barger, secretary;
Frank E. Davis, treasurer; A. A.
Scouten, publicity director, and
a board of directors including
Stephen Thompson, Gerald
Swaggart, Tom Loyd, James Hea
ly, Frank Anderson and Nelson
Anderson.
Organization of the Junior
chamber of commerce has been
the outgrowth of a desire on the
part of the younger business
men of the community to see
certain civic projects put into
motion which up to the present
have been talked about a great
deal but upon which nothing
more than talk has been accom
plished. First matter of importance
claiming the attention of the
juniors was that of the county
city trade. A committee of four
members was appointed to sub
mit a trade deal to the county
court at the opening of the Ap
ril term Wednesday morning.
Backed up by a strong delega
tion of members and other rep
resentative citizens, the commit
tee discussed the situation with
the court and after different an
gles had been brought up and
disposed of more or less agree
ably to both sides, the court
asked the delegation to prepare
a written statement to present
at today's court session. In ac
cordance with this desire on the
part of the court, Mayor Conley
Lanham called a special meet
ing of the council at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday.
The new group also has a spe
cial project, which tics in with
the city-county trade, the acqui
sition of a civic hall for Heppner.
The county buildings on Main
street figure In the plans and
when the pending trade is con
cluded the "young fellers" will
go to work to see what they can
make out of it.
Other plans for civic improve
ment include night lighting of
the athletic field this, doubt
less, regardless of who retains
ownership of the field. It Is felt
that attendance at night games
will exceed daylight attendance.
particularly with reference to the
high school football games.
Such lighting might also add
lure to the rodeo and fair, in
case the fair Is established here,
In forming the organization,
the young men have taken into
consideration the necessity for
providing an opening for the
boys In the country to partici
pate. A full share in the actlv
ities has been accorded town and
country alike, as witness the of
fleers and directors.
Wednesday evening of each
week has been chosen as the
meeting date, which will be car
rlcd out weekly as long as it is
felt necessary to keep the pro
gram moving. The juniors are
not planning luncheon or dinner
meetings and the town members
at least expect to participate in
the weekly luncheon meetings
of the senior chamber of com
mcrce to the same extent they
have in the past.
o
March Relatively
Dry Month Here
March, month of moods and
freakish weather, failed to pro
vide much In the way of preelp
. ilatlon In this region. Accord
Ing to Leonard Carlson, weather
observer for the Gooseberry sec
tion, .96 of an inch of moisture
fell there during the 31-day per
lod.
The month opened with .22 on
March 1. Nothing more was re
corded until the 7th and 8t
when .08 and .22 respectively
were the amounts registered
Again on the 22nd a liberal
"shower' brought .25, followed
with .10 on the 23rd and .09 on
the 2Gth, closing with a trace on
the 30th.
April gives more promise,
wifh probably upwards of an
Inch already recorded. This is
just a guess and In no wise
should reflect upon the Integrity
, of the local weather observers,

Organization of

HAVE GRANDDAUGHTER .
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilkinson
Joined the ranks of grandparents
the past week when on March 26
a baby girl, Carol Sue, was born
to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Oslund
at Laramie, Wyo. Although mo-
her and babe were reported get
ting along nicely, Mrs. Wilkin
son left Tuesday for Laramie to
spend about ten days with her
daughter and getting acquaint
ed with her granddaughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lucas re
turned home the first of the
week after an absence of several
weeks In Portland, during which
time- Mrs. Lucas submitted to a
major-surgical operation. Her
condition is quite satisfactory
but they do not plan to reopen
the Lucas House until after she
lias had a complete checkup,
which will be some time In May.
In the meantime the chamber
of commerce will continue to
meet each Monday noon at the
school house.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wells were
hosts Saturday evening to a few
former neighbors of Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Blake of Redmond who
spent the week end in Heppner,
The guests came Friday evening

Move Started By
City to Eradicate
Rats From Region
A contract entered into by the
city the past week went into
effect early this week when rep
resentatives of the Paramount
Pest , Control service went to
work on the city dump yard to
eradicate the rat population that
has been a menace to health
and property of the town and
surrounding area for a number
of years.
The work of poisoning the wi
ly rodents was In charge of
John Ahern and Ray Rightmire,
who started their operations at
the city dump ground and fol
lowed up with eradication work
at stores, eating houses and a
few private residences. Because
of the nature of the dump yard
the only way of checking on re
sults will be through the ab
sence of the rats, which the ex
terminating experts feel assured
will be quite evident. It is im
possible to entirely rid a dis
trict of rat infestation, they say,
but it is possible through a con
trol campaign to keep them
down to a comparatively harm
less number.
Ahern, who was in charge of
the local work, stated that the
results obtained here were high
ly satisfactory and that the cam
paign has been given more sup
port by the citizens than his
concern usually enjoys. The com
pany has a contract with the
city and individuals extending
over several months and it is ex
pected the rat population will
virtually be extinct by the time
the contract expires.
A list of pests controlled by
the Paramount service includes
ants, mice, roaches, silverfish,
earwigs, water beetles, bats,
fleas, snails, spiders, bed bugs
and flies, as well as rats. Ahern
stated that the business houses
had been pretty well controlled
on the minor pests, although
they found a few cockroaches
which they hastily despatched.

mary of facts the committee was
pleased to realize that the or
ganization had accomplished its
aims and in reviewing its work

lively activity program compar
able to larger cities. Work which
benefitted both the school and
the community was accomplish
ed by the P-TA.
At this session, Supt. George
Corwin 'reported on his visit to
the state legislature on March
29. He was pleased upon con

One of County's
Earliest Pioneers
Passes Tuesday
One of the county's earliest
pioneer citizens was removed
from our midst this week when
Mrs. Florence Gay passed away
Tuesday evening. Mrs. Gay, who
had been an invalid for several
years, was moved from her home
in north Heppner to the Mattie
Rood rest home Monday after
noon where death came the fol
lowing day.

Florence Elizabeth Bennett
was born Aug. 2, 1854, at Middle-
town, N. Y., and died April 1,
1947 at the age of 92 years, seven
months and 29 days. When a
young girl her parents came
west via Panama and it is said
they crossed on the first train
operated , across the isthmus.
This line, it is claimed, was
built by Theodore (Teddy)
Roosevelt's father. The Bennett
family settled in the Sacramento
valley where, on August 30, 18T2.
Florence was united in marriage
to Henry C. Gay, who preceded
her in death a number of years
ago.
With Mr. Gay and their eldest
son, Albert, she came to Morrow
county in 1878, landing on Rhea
creek June 13 of that year. A few
days later they fled the region
due to the Indian scare and
spent their first Fourth of July
in Oregon at The Dalles. The
scare over they returned to Rhea
creek and built their home where
they resided for 44 years. In
1922 they moved to a farm on
the Umatilla river near Hermis-
ton, residing there until 1930
when they returned to Heppner.
Mrs. Gay united with the Sou
thern Methodist church shortly
after settling in Morrow county
and was a true member of that
faith to the end. accepting mem
bership in the Methodist church
when the two churches merged.
Surviving are three sons, Al
bert B Walter and Leo, and a
daughter. Mabel French
Heppner.
The city of Heppner and the
county of Morrow were just
about 52 square feet apart at
npon today on the proposed pro
perty trade which has been
something of a bone of conten
tion for several months. Removal
of this slight obstacle will com
pletely open the way for an im
mediate trade, said representa
tives of both sides to the trans
action. Through the efforts of the
Heppner junior chamber of com
merce a proposal was submitted
to the court Wednesday morn
ing which with few exceptions
met with the appoval of that
body. The JCC's were told to put
their proposals in writing, get
the approval of the city council
and present the paper to the
court Thursday morning. A spe
cial meeting of the council was
called and after the points in
question were ironed out a vote
was taken and all councilmen
present concurred.
When the JCC committee and
the county court visited the Ro
deo grounds this morning to
make a cursory survey it devel
oped that use of one of the
buildings on former CCC prop
erty would be virtually denied
the county if a roadway laid on
straight lines at the nothwest
corner of the Rodeo grounds
could not be changed to a road
way following the curve of the
track at that point The differ
ence between the two roadways
is about 52 square feet but en
ough to hold up the trade.
Mayor Conley Lanham called
another council meeting for 7:30
this evening when it is expected
this final concession will be
made and the parties to the
transaction can sign the papers
tomorrow. The meeting, howev
er, depends upon the return of
Councilman Yeager to the city
so that a full representation will
be available.
According to the terms prof
fered the court, the city will
deed the land occupyied by the
CCC camp to the county and the .
county in turn will deed the fair
property on north Main street
to the city. The city will give
a 90-year lease to the county
fair board on the Rodeo proper
ty with a revoking clause per
taining to the use by the fair
board for fair purposes only. The
city will also grant use of the
present machine sheds to the
county until the county is able
to move equipment and get set
up at the CCC grounds. The city
retains the right to collect the
rental from the Heppner Lumber
company on the lease of certain
buildings until expiration of the
lease, said rr(ney to be applied
to improving the Rodeo grounds.
The whole matter may be set
tled before this issue of the pa
per gets into general circulation,
