4-H Council Planning
IFYE Benefit Dance
Plans have been completed for
the annual 4 II club council spon
sored old time dance to be held
at the American Legion hall at
lone on April 2nd. Co-chairmen
Sally Palmer and Patsy Wright
of the International Farm Youth
Exchange committee have this
week announced that proceeds
from the dance will be contribu
ted towards the International
Farm Youth Exchange program.
This program set up several
years ago to promote better un
derstanding between the citizens
of this and foreign countries send
annually an average of four
young men and women from Ore
gon on voluntary contributions,
from organizations throughout
the state.
Committees who will be work
ing the arrangements on the
dance are: Mrs. Herbert Ekstrom,
lone, chairman of the refresh
ments committee; Herman Blet
tell. lone, chairman, advertising
committee; Al Bunch, Heppner,
chairman of music committee.
" Dancing will be from 8:00 to
12:00. No charge will be made
however, donations will be ac
cepted, i
Champ Thomas is the Indepen
dent Wrestling Alliance junior
heavyweight king. He holds
wins over such well known
wrestlers as Nature Boy, French
Angel, Bobo Bearcat ' Wrigbt,
Jack Witzig and Rocky Brown.
Dean is an exact replica of his
famous father who is credited
with putting showmanship into
the modern version of Wrestl
ing. He is fast and agile for a
big fellow. His dangerous body
crush has sent more than one
battered foe to the hospital.
The Dean -Thomas match
should be one of the most excit
ing contests ever seen in this
section of the state. And it
might be a good idea to suggest
that the promoters reinforce the
ring. When Dean's 385 pounds
crashes to the mat the entire
building quivers and quakes.
Final and feature match of the
program will be the Ladies' Aus
tralian tag team battle. Bonnie
Bartlett and Marion Zauner will
team against Shirley Winters
adu Jean Elbon.The contest is
slated for the best two out of
three falls or 1 hour.
'tr S ,,M - '
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN. JR..
who is billed as the world's
largest wrestler at 385 pounds,
will be on the card for a spe
cial wrestling bout to be pre
sented Friday night at the high
school gym.

Savings Bond Sales
Climb in County
Sales of U. S. Savings Bonds
continued their steady climb as
a favored investment by Oregon-
ians, who purchased S3.G55.726
worth of them in February.
"This is 157c higher than sales
in February, 1954 which was re
garded as an excellent month"
said county chairman Jeff Carter.
in announcing this county's sales
of $20,170 worth of E and H Bonds
last month. This is 20 over a
year ago.
"February sales for Oregon a
year ago amounted to $3,100,936.
The steady increase of sales of
Savings Bonds in the state re
flects how strongly this type of
risk-free investment appeals to
those who value guaranteed sav
ings. Sales for the first two
months of 1955 are ahead of
those of 1954 In thirty of Oreron's
thirty-six counties." '
The county chairman said that
on the national scene, the biggest
cash sales of Savings Bonds in
ten years reflects Oregon's re
cord, with the excess of sales re
demptions being higher than at
any time during the past six
years.
