Hallowe'en Pranks Overlooked
If the Junior tiamlxr of Commerce has no
im-mUT in mind for the honors this month, we
would like to suggest that the ' Bouquet of Roses"
be awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar George for an
outstanding civic actiie ement.
Throughout an indefinite xriod of time Oc
tober 31 has stood out as a mark of great uncer
tainty on the calendar. Property owners, in par
ticular, have looked upon the night of October
31 with a feeling of dread, wondering to what
lengths prankslers would extend themselves in
carrying out the traditions (he they false or
otherwise) of Hallowe'en. Kfforts to cope with
the spirit of vandalism which seems to seize the
younger generation on this night have always
proved successful. No amount of policing has
prevented the marking of windows, trading of
gates, letting the air out of tires and the num
erous other pranks. The morning after has al
ways revealed the somewhat doubtful success of
the joke-minded.
Mindful of "doings" of the past and hopeful
they could do something about it, Mr. and Mrs.
George planned an evening of entertainment at
the Star theater, an entertainment that would
last for several hours and give young people
and old something to occupy their minds through
a period that is ordinarily devoted to playing
pranks on one hand and worrying about what is
happening on the other hand. And what was
the result of this thoughtful bit of planning?
Store windows were spared the usual scratching
with soap and candles, not entirely, it must be
admitted, but so nearly so that one had to hunt
for them. No vandalism has been reported and
there was no cleaning up around the streets on
the morning of November 1.
Again we say here is an outstanding civic per
formance that merits the thanks of a grateful
community. We have named our candidates for
the Jaycee "bouquet" and if there are no further
nominations we move that they be closed and
that an unanimous ballot be cast in favor of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar George.
A Good Appointment
If first impressions are to be lasting in the case
of Oregon's new governor, it may be said that
John H. Hall is getting off to a good start His
selection of Earl T. Newbry of Ashland for the
office of secretary of state not only fulfills his
avowal to choose someone outside of Multnomah
county but shows sound judgment in his ap
praisal of men. Newbry, like the late Robert S.
Farrell Jr., is a young man possessed of good
business judgment and a capacity for getting
things done. He has made a success of his own
business enterprises and has represented his dis
trict well in both houses of the legislature. He
will make a good secretary of state.
Governor Hall may bring censure upon himself
from some quarters but no complaints have been
heard in this vicinity relative to his suggestion
that the members of the liquor commission re
sign. The way is made clear for him to appoint
a new board and he w ill have an opportunity to
select men, who, in his opinion, will correct the
faults he found in the board now resigned.
Fine Training
Many of our young people, through the pro
grams of the 4-H clubs, are receiving a class of
training not enjoyed by those of older genera
tions. We have witnessed the exhibits of stock,
products of the field, cookery and handicraft
shown by the club members from year to year
and have come to accept them as a matter of
course. So good have the youngsters become
that no fair hereabouts is complete or even a
fair without their products.
It has been the privilege of the writer to see
the 4-H Beef club in session. It is enlightening
to watch the business-like procedure, to catch the
spirit of earnestness by which their actions are
guided, for their knowledge has not been ob
tained through classroom study alone but by
actual experience as well. Club policies are sel
dom agreed upon until individual members have
had their chance to speak. This sometimes pre
cipitates considerable variance of expression but
eventually brings the group to a point of agree
ment. Training for showmanship is another advan
tage offered the Beef club members. This con
tributes not only to the appearance and perform
ance of the animals but to the poise of the exhi
bitor as well. It requires dignity to parade a
blooded animal in front of the judges dignity
combined with grit, strength and skill and that
is just what these farm boys and girls attain.
A practical illustration of 4-H club training is
being given this week by members of the differ
ent groups in the county. It is National 4-H Club
week and the clubbers themselves are telling of
the aims, progress and plans of the organization
They are appearing before adult groups and in
the schools. The Heppner Chamber of Commerce
was visited by a member of the 4-H Beef club.
He spoke for five minutes or so without visible
display of embarrassment and exhibited the
poise of a speaker of years of experience.
It is the purpose of the 4-H club program to
develop from the youth of today the leaders of
tomorrow. There is no doubt but that the pro
gram is accomplishing that aim.

HEW SECRETARY OF STATE
One of the first official acts
of Governor John H. Hall was
the appointment of Earl T. New
bry, Ashland orchardist, as sec
retary oi state. wewDry nas a
long and sound legislative rec
ord, serving two sessions in the
house and three in the senate.
He was runner-up for the pres
idency of the senate at the last
session.
LONG PUBLIC RECORD
Earl Wilcox Snell, the Oregon
tarm boy who became governor,
was born near Olex, Gilliam
county in 1895. His first job was
carrying newspapers. Early in
life he became a successful bus
inessman of Arlington where he
was elected to his first public
office, councilman. He applied
sound business principals to gov
ernment and was elected to the
legislature, serving eight years,
and becoming speaker of the
house in 1933 during two special
and one regular session. Devel
oping a strong political follow
ing he ran for and was elected
secretary of state in 1934 and
was re-elected in 1938. In 1942
he was elected governor and re
elected in 1946. At the expira
tion of his second term, in 1951,
Governor Snell would not have
been eligible for a third term
and it was generally conceded
that he would become a candi
date for United States senator.
VIEWED AS NEXT GOVERNOR
Robert S. Farrell Jr. was one
of the youngest men ever elect
ed to high office in Oregon. He
was only 36 when elected Sec
retary of State by a very large
majority. It seemed certain he
would be elected governor of Or
egon in 1950. He was of a third
generation to be elected a jnem-
ber of the Oregon legislature. He
served in the special session of
1935, the regular sessions of 1939
and 1941 when he became speak
er of the house. His political pro
gress was identical to that of
Governor Snell legislature, , sec
retary of state and it was ex
pected he would have little dif
ficulty winning the nomination
for governor. Last year he was
elected president of the Nation
al Association of Secretaries of
State.
