Christmas Lights
To Be Turned On
Saturday Evening
Santa Writes Kids
He Will Stop Here
On Way to N. Pole
There will be something of in
terest for young and old alike
Saturday evening when the
street decoration lights are turn
ed on heralding the holiday sea
son. The lights will be turned on
at 7 o'clock and at that time the
stores will reopen and remain
open until 8 or a little later, de
pending upon the whim of the
crowd.
Of particular interest to the
kiddies will be the visit of San
ta Claus, who has sent word that
he will make a stop in Heppner
on his way back to the North
Pole for a fresh supply of toys
and other gifts. Jolly old Saint
Nick can't go back on the boys
and girls for he has written them
a letter which we are permitted
to reprint, and it is as follows:
Enroute to North Pole
Dear Boys and Girls:
I hope all you boys and girls
have been good these past weeks
for the Heppner Chamber of
Commerce has asked that I visit
you on December 2nd. I don't like
to spend my time visiting boys
and girls who haven't been good,
and, there are so many to visit.
I am on my way back to the
North Pole to get loaded up with
lots of toys and presents, if my
pickup holds out that long. It
has been hard to get enough toys
stored up to have enough for all
of you. I plan to be through
Heppner at about 7:30 Saturday
evening, December 2nd. I wish I
could see all of you and I am sa
ving up some goodies for you
that evening.
Be down town in Heppner on
Saturday evening, so I can talk
to all of you. If you haven't mail
ed your letter to me yet, bring it
along so I can pick it up. I'll be
seeing you.
SANTA CLAUS
His call will be brief and all
the good little boys and girls
must be on hand promptly if
they wish to see him.
Chairman Nels Anderson and
his committee still hope to put
the mail box to use and will do
so if it can be operated without
interfering with the regular por
tal service.
Enough volunteer help turned
out Friday evening at the fair
pavilion to assemble all of the
garland streamers for street dec
orations. The decorations were
put in place Sunday and by
Tuesday the lights were strung.
Everything is in readiness -for a
gala opening if the weather man
will just pull in his horns and
give the community a break.

Wheat Committees
To Meet December 4
At Court House
In preparation for the annual
meeting of the Oregon Wheat
Growers League, Morrow county
wheat growers will meet at Hep
pner on December 4 to formulate
their recommendations. These
will be incorporated into reports
of other wheat growing areas
and form the basis for committee
meetings of each of five groups
which will meet at The Dalles
December 7, 8 and 9.
Morrow county's committee
meetings will be started at 10 a.
m. Monday and will be held in
the county court room. Active
committees and chairmen of each
are Taxation and Legislation,
Henry Peterson; Federal Agricul
tural programs and Land Use,
Loyd Howton; Wheat Disposal
and Market Development, Oscar
Peterson; Production and Trans
portation, Kenneth Smouse, and
Youth Activities, Earl McKinney.
Recommendations will reflect
the thinking of our farmers in
each of the important matters,
for the betterment of the wheat
farmer.
Ed Bell, administrator, Oregon
Wheat Commission, who is de
voting his time to new markets
and uses for wheat, reports that
Oregon wheat producers may find
thnmcolws in somewhat of a
predicament if wheat exports do
not pick up soon, lie reports mat
the United States is supplying
only that part of the world mar
ket that can't be supplied by
other countries. At present U. S.
nrlvic mlllnro nnH pxnnrters can
not compete with Canada, Aus
tralia nnH Argentine millers and
exporters. This may mean that
our farmers will need to provide
storage for more wheat as the
stnnknilf" erows lareer. as it is
bound to do at the present rate
of production, wnn tnese prop
lems facing the wheat farmer,
It la Imnnrtant that all take Dart
in programs to relieve the situa
tion of this commodity. One way
of doing tnis is Dy laKing an
nnHvn nart in discussion and SU2-
rnstlnfr stens to follow, believes
N. C. Anderson, Morrow county
agent. Farmers win nave me op
portunity to do so at these meet
ings on December 4.
Junior Class Play
Set for December 6-7
At Gym-Auditorium
All is readiness for presenta
tion of the play, "You Can't Take
It With You," junior class of
Heppner high school offering to
the public on the nights of De
cember 6 and 7 at the school au
ditorium. Tickets were put on
sale the first of this week and it
is anticipated that the hard work
the juniors have been putting in
will be amply rewarded.
"You Can't Take It With You"
is decidedly on the lighter side.
It might even be considered a
wee bit on the zany side, judging
from a paragraph submitted by
the juniors: "The junior class
play includes comedy, dancing
and several incidents which
make you think the people are a
bit peculiar. In the living room,
meals are eaten, snakes collect
ed, ballet steps practiced, xylo
phones played and printing
presses operated."
The cast includes Joanne
Bothwell as Penelope Syca
more; Eleanor Rice as Essie; Sal
ly Cohn as Rheba; Mickey Lan

School Flag Rites
Scouts' Daily Chore
Heppner Boy Scouts are as
sured of at least one "good scout"
turn each day of the school week.
With the assistance of Paul War
ren, school property custodian,
they raise and lower the school

mony of the job. The flag cere

prior to the raising and repeated
when the flag is lowered.

WE'RE ALREADY SOLD....
Each one of us can easily tell
The Shrine auctioneer knows

The only thing he won't have
to sell
Is a style that's strictly Runnion's.
Stuff Coming In
For Shrine Auction
At Fair Pavilion -
People Displaying
Keen Interest In
Big Benefit Event
If the interest displayed by the
people all over the district repre
sented in the Morrow County
Shrine club is a criterion, the
fund for the Shrine hospital for
Crippled Children in Portland
will receive a big boost here Sat.
urday afternoon on the occasion
of the first annual Shrine benefit
sale. This is the report brought
back by Bob Runnion, general
chairman of the auction sale, af
ter a canvass of the district in
which he has driven upwards of
2500 mlies in the last two weeks.
"Everything from a tomcat to
a locomotive will be on sale,"
Runnion characteristically re
marked. Whether such articles
will be offered or not, the fact
remains that the people are re
sponding generously and Run
nion says his only worry is that
there may not be buyers enough
to take the stuff that will be of
feredall of it, that is.
Another gratifying condition is
the number of checks received in
lieu of articles. This side of the
sale will mount up to a consider
able sum in itself, Runnion says.
Many useful items will be on
the block. Livestock, poultry,
have been pledged. Farm mach
inery, an automobile, a truck,
eggs, potatoes and other edibles
household furniture and a long
list of lesser items will be offer
ed, but none of it will be given
away unless Runnion's voice
goes back on him'.
At least one brand new item
will be offered. Rod Wentworth,
down lone way, is, building a
steel cattle guard especially for
the sale.
Donors of cattle who are not
equipped to haul the animals
need only to contact Floyd Wor
den at Eight Mile, Phone Hepp
ner 13F13, or Bill Smethurst at
Lexington, Phone 4812 and they
will see that your stock is picked
up.
If there is any question in your
mind about the need for this sale
or at least the pressing need for
funds by the Shriners, just re
member that 11 crippled children
from this jurisdiction have been
cared for in the Shrine hospital
since 1945. Some of the young
sters would not receive this care
were it not for the generosity and
activity of the Shriners in pro
viding it for them.

Union Pacific Ag
Car Attracts Many
County Farmers
Appearance here of the Union
Pacific agricultural car Tuesday
and Wednesday attracted much
attention, according to officials
in charge of the car and N. C.
Anderson, Morrow county agri
cultural agent.
Spotted at the Union Pacific
depot in Heppner, educational
programs were given Tuesday
afternoon and Wednesday morn
ing, with an attendance of ap
proximately 75 for the two days.
This was considered satisfactory
by those responsible for the pro
gram and the improved attend
ance was credited to the more fa
vorable weather conditions in
contrast with the brand of wea
ther in force here last winter.
With a theme of "grain sanita.
tion", the various aspects of
keeping grain fit for food from
harvest until consumption were
discussed by leaders in this field
Robert Fletcher, secretary, Pacif
ic Northwest Crop Improvement
association; Rex Warren, farm
crops specialist; Robert Every,
extension entomologist, Oregon
State college; N. C. Aderson,
Morrow county agent. With Geo.
L. Penrose, Union Pacific agri
cultural agent in charge, taking
part in the discussions.
Films, "Vandals of the Night"
and "Crop Improvement", depict
ing rodent control and crop im
provement work of state colleges
were shown to the group.
Farmers commenting on the
meetings stated they enjoyed
them as the seats are comforta
ble, the talks are plainly audible
through the car's public address
system, and films plainly shown
from the car's self-contained pro
jection room.
The car was taken to Condon
Wednesday afternoon.

RETURN FROM ST. LOUIS
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Anderson
and Miss Esther Bergstrom re
turned Wednesday from St. Lou
is where they spent two weeks
visiting Mr. and Mrs,. Martin
Johnson, brother-in-law and sis
ter of Mr. Anderson. They were
glad to get home, although the
trip and visit were both enjoy
able. It was cold in Missouri but
that part, of the middle west did
not feel the force of the storm
that gripped so much of the east
ern part of the country.
o
Mrs. Burt Cason and Mrs. Har
vey Hogue were over from Lone
rock Monday,
td that there will be a dance at
the fair pavilion after the Christ
mas opening. Good music has
been retained for the occasion
and everybody is assured of get.
ting more than the price of ad
mission out of it.
This map shows the major
relocation and construction project
currently abuilding. Along the Columbia itself, the job is largely
one of moving the track to a higher level; although the water will
back up for many miles behind the dam, the lake will not be a
relatively wide one since the river in this area is contained by
high hills and bluffs.
If you are more than 20 feet in
height and possess web feet and
a water - repellent epidermis
you are perfectly free to make
your home in Wallula, Wash.,
five years hence.
Or if you have a gondola and
a sweet Venetian voice you can
cruise literally the streets of
that village as in the travelog
ues. Or if you have a diving bell
you can take the family for a
picnic of a Sunday afternoon on
the lower slopes of Washington's
forlorn Horse Heaven hills.
Or if you have a war surplus

your luncheon club on a most
unusual scenic tour westward
from Wallula along the present
route of U. S. Highways No. 395

Organization Set
Up For March of
Dimes Campaign
Completion of the organiza
tion within the county for the
1951 annual March of Dimes
campaign has been announced
by Mrs. Joe Hughes, county di
rector, who says that every dist
rict in the county will have
workers by the time the drive
swings into action.
Jack Edmondson, Heppner,
commander of Post No. 87, Am
erican Legion, has been named
chairman of the chapter which
includes Henry Tetz as vice
chairman; Merle Becket, treas
urer; Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, secre
tary; Mrs. Henry Aiken, chair
man women's activities, and Mrs.
Joe Hughes, director.
On the executive committee
are Mrs. Rodgers, Charles Rug
gles, Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman,
Harry Duvall, Miss Margaret Gil-
us, ana Leonard Fate.
The medical advisory commit
tee includes Dr. A. D. McMurdo,
Miss Gillis, and Mrs. Clara B.
Gertson, and the publicity will
be handled by O. G. Crawford
and LaVerne Van Marter.
Postmasters in each town of
the county have been asked to
promote the campaign in their
respective communities and
while only one has responded
but it is expected the others will
accede to the request.
As a preliminary to the open
ing of the campaign in Oregon,
Basil O'Connor, national director
of the March of Dimes, will be
guest of honor at a luncheon giv
en by Dr. E. T. Hedlund, state
director, at 12:15 December 5 in
Portland. Mrs. Hughes and Miss
Gillis plan to attend the lunch
eon. Miss Gillis is personally ac
quainted with Mr. O'Connor hav
ing worked with him a number
of years ago in similar work.
With polio on the increase and
the value of the dollar going
down the March of Dimes organ,
izations have their work cut out
for them this year, the national
organization points out. As an
example, $1,171 raised per case
of polio in 1945-'46-'47 when
there were 50,000 cases, had a
purchasing power of $828. For
the 1948-'49-'50 period with 100,
000 cases of polio, the $802 per
case had a purchasing power of
$4bo per case. This includes dU,
000 plus cases in 1950. Purchas
ing power is compared to the
1939 dollar value ot 100 cents.
Mrs. Hughes reports that some
have volunteered to aid with the
campaign, notably Mrs. James
McRae, Irngon and Mrs. JNorma
Gwin of Boardman.

Heppner Business
Houses To Adopt
Trade Days Plan
20 or More Sign
Up With National
Trade Day Assn.
Seeking to pep up business,
Heppner business concerns to
the number of 20 at least, are
signing up this week for the ser.
vices of the National Trade Day
association through the con
cern's representative, C. P. Usher.
The workings of the plan were
explained by Usher at the cham
ber of commerce luncheon Mon
day noon and interest shown by
business men present, mostly
representing the retail trades,
was sufficient to induce him to
remain here and line up a local
organization. More details of the
plan of operation will be given
when the local branch is ready to
function.
The National Trade Day asso
ciation was started in Texas in
1930 and soon spread to Oklaho
ma and other nearby states. In
the 20 years of its operation it
has spread to aH parts of the
Union, with branches in some
3600 towns. The plan has proved
so successful that some towns,
having used it for awhile and
abandoned it, have found them
selves rushing back to get on the
bandwagon, Usher said.
It is desirable to have one or
more of each type of business in
the community represented.
Several towns in the Blue
Mountain-Columbia river area
are using the plan with good re
sults, Usher stated. John Day,
Milton-Freewater, Pasco, and
Prosser were among the places
mentioned.
Discussion of the Christmas
opening program was taken up
for a few minutes and it was
found that the committee has ev
erything well in hand.
W. W. Bechdolt and son Adrian
were special guests of the cham
ber at Monday's luncheon. They
were introduced by N. C. Ander
son as Morrow county's bid for
state conservation man of the
year at the forthcoming annual
meeting of the Oregon Wheat
League at The Dalles. He praised
the work done by the Bechdolts
which caused them to be chosen
as the "Conservation Man of the
Year" in Morrow county. Adrian
Bechdolt responded and said
they appreciated the nice things
said about them and admitted
that they had worked hard in
their efforts to save the topsoil
and put their ranch into profit
able production but he felt that
much credit was due the conser
vation service and Tom Wilson
and his corps of conservation
workers. Wilson, in turn, said he
thought the credit had been giv
en where it was due and outlined
the program followed by the
Bechdolts as well as praising
them for their cooperative spirit.
Several new faces were seen at
the luncheon, including Gene
Wells of the Heppner Market,
John Shoemaker of Heppner Ba
kery, Pete McMurtry of Heppner
Auto Parts, Wm. Kenagy of the
Marshall-Wells store, Mrs. Pearl
Carter, representing Claudien's,
and Bill Blake ot Wilson s Men s
Wear.
