many comments.
A display of drapery, uphols

idea from this that would be us

Mrs. Ritchie Not In
Direct Path of
Oklahoma Twister
Family and friends were
somewhat concerned about the
welfare of Mrs. Louise Ritchie
when word was flashed over the
wires and radio about the de
struction of Woodward, Okla.,
by a tornado. Their concern was
not without foundation because
the family had been advised
that Mrs. Ritchie had planned to
be in Woodward on that date
and only a change in plans caus
ed her to be Just out of the path
of the twister.
Mrs. Ritchie was at Curtis, 12
miles distant from Woodward
and experienced enough storm
there to do her for the remain
der of her visit. After the storm,
her nephew, with whom she was
isitlng asked her if Oregon has
storms like that and when she
assured him that nothing of that
kind happens In her home state
he replied that he was moving
to Oregon as soon as he could
make arrangements.
Occupants Escape
Serious Injury
As Car Leaves Road
Two Heppner people had a
miraculous escape from possible
death, and at least serious in
Jury, Saturday evening while
enroute to the dance at lone.
Dick McAlister and Mrs. John
Hanan were riding in "the Hepp
ner Cleaners & Dyers panel pick-
p which was completely wreck
ed when it left the road and
bounded into a field at the W. E.
McMillan farm about three
miles below Lexington.
Ahead of the pick-up were the
cars of Merle and Reese Burken-
bine. As the cars passed the
McMillan house McAlister en-
eavored to pass Reese Burken-
bine and lost control of the car,
ue, it is thought, to a blowout.
The car left the road and turned
over several times, clearing the
McMillan fence in one of Its
bounds, and' finally came to a
stop down in the field.
McAlister was the worst injur
ed of the passengers and after
an examination by a physician
In Heppner was taken to the
hospital in Pendleton. He was
badly shaken up and it was
found that he suffered a frac
tured shoulder blade. Mrs. Han-
n 'was cut and bruised about
the face, but aside from being
sore from the shaking up, suf
fered no serious injury. She was
in attendance at the cleaning
shop counter Monday. McAlister
was scheduled to return to
Heppner today.
o

day in The Dalles, with the St.
Paul's church acting as host
Mrs. O. G. Crawford, president
of the district Christian Wom

Droam of Years Comes to
Reality As First Earth
Turned At McNary Dam
A dream that has dwelt in the j
minds and hearts of countless
numbers of people living in the
Columbia river basin from Pasco
to The Dalles and even reaching
eastward across the Blue moun
tains into Idaho, came into real
ization Tuesday, April 15, 1947,
when Cornelia Morton McNary,
widow of Senator Charles Mc
Nary, using an all-aluminum
shovel made especially for the
particular occasion, lifted the
first shovelful of earth and emp
tied it Into a bucket of the same
material for preservation In a
safety vault. That was the first
definite action towards construc
tion of the great McNary dam
which will span the Columbia
river above the town of Umatilla
and form an Inland lake, as it
were,' backing the water up as
tar as Pasco in the Columbia
and above that town on the
Snake.
The celebration staged at Um
atilla was a history-making ev
ent that attracted upwards of 10,-
000 visitors. The news photo
graphers, , newsreel cameramen
and broadcasting services vere
there. Many prominent officials
and business men, numbers of
old river men, and at least one
motion picture star, "Miss Danv
site," otherwise Janis Paige,
were among the visitors headed
by Governor Earl Snell and Mrs.
Snell.
A parade extending a distance
of two miles and requiring al
most an hour to pass the review
ing stand was a blending of the
old west with the modern west.
Mrs. M. D. Clark
Laid To Rest Here
Monday Afternoon
Services were held at 2 o'clock
p.m. Monday, April 14, for Mrs.
M. D. Clark who passed away

Jaycees Implored
To Help Library
Former Mayor J. O. Turner vis
ited the Junior chamber of com
merce Wednesday evening and
presented the case of the Hepp
ner library. He pointed to the
fact that a comparatively small
group of people have carried on
the library work for a number
of years and that both new per
sonnel and more funds are need
ed to keep it in working order.
The Jaycees promised to give
the matter their attention and
see if they could not devise a
means for assisting.
Various matters occupied the
attention of the club last night
and the usual hour stretched
Into more than three before it
was felt adjournment was in or
der. Several new names were en
tered on the membership roll.

Ranch Rodeo Draws
Large Attendance
More than 800 people attend
ed the rodeo held at the Art
Hughes ranch on little Butter
creek Sunday, many people com
ing from the John Day valley
and other neighboring counties,
as well as numbers from Hepp
ner and other points in this
county.
A rather lengthy program of
roping, milking and riding ev
ents was run through, with Cot
Dodson, ex-northwest champion,
copping the bucking event
The rodeo was staged on the
east side of the creek where a
triangle strip was laid off for
handling the stock with corrals,
and bleachers for the spectators,
Horses figured prominently in
this pageant that heralded fur
ther developmnt of a power that
has all but eliminated animal
power from all phases of human
endeavor. Hundreds of saddle
horses, entries by numerous rid
ing clubs throughout the area,
passed along the parade route,
keeping alive in the memory of
older spectators the day when
a horse and saddle were stand
ard equipment in the scheme
of transportation. The floats
were In tune with the spirit of
the occasion and there were no
less than 15 bands two of them
from Morrow county schools, Ir
rlgon and Lexington forming
one of the most representative
processions seen in this area.
Many of the towns represent
ed declared a holiday and their
citizens migrated to Umlatilla.
Due to lack of time for complete
organization the project group
overlooked some things that
might have added to the success
of the event. For one thing, pub
licity was lacking. Releases
were made to dally papers but
the grass roots publications were
left to guess at what was being
done. Contacts were not made
wllh town authorities and school
officials, h least not over in this
direction, consequently Veveral
meetings scheduled for the day
were not dismissed and no doubt
many of these people were dis
appointed in not being able to
attend the celebration.
Heppner chamber of commerce
entered a float, prepared and
driven by Frank W. Turner,
The above picture gives the j
reason for the open house party
to which Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Rosewall have Invited the pub
lic to be their guests Saturday
evening. It is the 36 x 90 foot
annex built to the Rosewall Mo
tor company garage, the first
expansion made to the property
since the original building was
erected.
When the Rosewalls joined
Emery Gentry here in 1939 to
set up the Rosewall-Gentry Mo

Rosewall recalled that an orange
peddler was occuping the gas
pump island and the shop room
was being used as a boxing ar
ena. This came to a stop when
the two energetic young busi
ness men took possession and
from that time to this there has
been unceasing activity about
the building.
The Rosewalls bought Gentry's
interest in 1941 and began plan

was sold by L. E. Dick Sr. to
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Dick Jr. and
then acquired by the present
owners. Not only did they ac
Sales Tax Said Offset
For Population Factor
Of Basic School Law
Passage of a sales tax is about
the only offset eastern Oregon
can hope to realize against the
uneven distribution of the basic
school law fund. That's the op
inion expressed by .representa
tive Henry Peterson after weath
ering an 83-day session of the
'legislature.
The legislature probed every
possibility for obtaining addi
tional funds and the sales tax
seemed the only fair and equit
able method without slapping
additional burdens on property,
Peterson said.- "If we adopt a
sales tax, the new people com
ing to the state will assume
their fair share of the additional
expense their coming is creat
ing in school financing. I feel
the legislature did the only
thing it could and most certain

Tennessee Walking
Horses in Portland
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mankin
have always been out front in

they purchased two Tennessee
Walking horses, a stallion and
a mare, which will be brought
to the Willow creek ranch six
miles northwest of Heppner some
time next week..
The Tennessee Walker is so
named because of the gait. Man
kin said he believed this breed
of horses is not classed as racing
stock but when on the road can
cover distance at a pretty good
rate and with great comfort to
the rider. The stallion is regis
tered but the mare is not subject
to registration, although she has
the appearance of a purebred.

men's chorus, will drive to Mil-
on Monday morning where they
will meet with Milton-Freewater
chamber of commerce. Arrange
ments have been made for trans
portation and the caravan will
form at the office of Turner, Van
Marter & Co. Departure time has
been set for 9 o clock sharp.
It is not definitely known
what form of entertainment the
host group will provide, but in
asmuch as the meeting will be
held in the civic center building
there will be much of interest
to the visitors as this commun
ity has a center project in the
making and it will be an oppor
tunity to learn some of the fin
er points first hand. A trip
through some of the orchard
lands and an inspection of some
of the big new plants for hand
ling food products may also be
on the program.

BAD AND INDIFFERENT
ON TRIP TO DETROIT
Highway 30 is rough most of
the way across Idaho and Wyo
ming and needs rebuilding in
many spots, according to Frank
Engkraf, who, with Mrs. Eng
kraf and her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Fouts of Fossil, re
turned Saturday evening from a
ten-day trip to Detroit, Mich.,
where they and other northwest
Kalser-Frazer dealers held a con
ference wtih officials of the com
pany at the big Willow Run
plant. ,
Having made the trip east over
highway 30, the Heppner-Fossil
party decided to try another
route west and took No. 3t Into
Denver which they found, in
much better condition. The trip
was made without incident ex
cept for a short distance on the
return when Icy pavement was
encountered west of Denver. This
entailed the use of chains.
Engkraf says the K F plant Is
turning out 750 cars dallv at
present and will jtin produc
tion to 1 5 H) cars daily in a short
time.
