On One ioca
Contest Seen On
Each Party Baot
A lack of serious local polit
ical battles and an apparent
voter aimthv I expected to re-
suit In a small vote In Morrow
county In Friday's rrlmary clec
tlon. Not that members of both
parties won't get big enough
Ballots, with plenty of opportun-
Hies for choice In a couple of
races those of delegates to the
national conventions, but those
races aren't expected to create
any great amount ot interest io
draw voters to the polls.
Democrats will have one ma
jor fight that may bring them
out the battle for the Demo
cratic nomination for president
between five men: Hubert Hum
phrey. Lyndon Johnson, John F
Kennedy, Wayne Morse and
Stuart Symington; but Repub
licans have only the chance to
vote for Vice President Richard
Nixon who Is unopposed on their
ballot.
The Demo fight currently be
ing waged between Morse and
Kennedy in the state Is creating
a semblance of political Inter
est and so far, supporters for
both men are claiming an easy
victory.
Democratic Choices
Democratic voters will have to
make a choice in nine separate
races Including national com
mitteeman and woman, dele
gates to the national convention
(where 89 persons 'are seeking
the 24 seats), delegates to the
national convention from the 2nd
congressional district; president;
U S Senator for the term begin
ning January 3, 1961; secretary
of state, state treasurer and
county clerk.
The last named is the only
local office where there Is any
competition. Sadie Parrish, in
cumbent clerk, is being opposed
by Thomas J Wells of Heppner.
The Democratic ballot is the
largest ever printed in the state,
and its 38 inch length will give
the Demo voters a good work
out if they vote every opportun
ity. Republican Choices
Republicans in the county will
be faced with a sizeable piece
of paper when they go to the
polls, but only about half the
size of the Democratic ballot.
They will decide on seven con
tests, including one county.
The list of delegates at large
to the Republican national con
vention will also present GOP
voters with their longest list as
37 persons are seeking the 10
seats. In the race for nomination
for U S Senator, former gover
nor Elmo Smith is expected to

largest attendance for tne year.
Sandra Harshman, president of
the Future Homemakers oi
Amprloa and Judy Brinda gave
an interesting narration for the
show accompanied by Judy
Schmidt with piano selections.
The staee of the Heppner
school multipurpose room was
attractively decorated witn large
baskets of pastel shades of flow
ers.
Seventh erade girls started the
show by modeling the aprons
thev constructed in class. By
doing the apron project they
learned many basic fundamen
tals of sewing. Eighth grade
girls modeled cotton skirts and
sleeveless blouses.
Homemaking was offered for
the first time in the seventh
grade a year ago. At the present
homemaking is offered one sem-
potpr in the seventh grade and
one semester in the eighth grade,
therefore the present freshmen
class had only one semester of
homemaking, instead of one
year.
The freshmen girls modeled
cotton skirts with tailored cot
ton blouses with set-in-sleeves.
The sophomore girls modeled
jumpers and blouses from a var
iety of fabrics which included
cotton, textured cottons, cotton
blends, corduroy, wool blends
and Pendleton woolens.
Juniors and seniors selected
individual projects. Jean Collins,
a senior, modeled an attractive
plaid coat of Pendleton wool
along with a dress of cotton and
acetate blend. Both the coat and
dress were fully lined. Assist
ing with the planning and or
ganization of the style show
were Diane McCurdy, Rose Nash
and Sandra Campbell.
The style show was sujervis
by Mrs Homer Hager. honae
rriakir.g teacher fo rth Hepprwar
schools.

of Heppner. I stnngly urge that
al! our citizens observe this day
by wearing the tremortal poppy".
Mayor Collins seld.
Mrs Frank Hamlin, Poppy
Day chairman for the Auxiliary,
said this patriotic observance
has been observed since the
American Legion and American
Legion Auxiliary originated the
Idea of Poppy Day after World
War I. The program has had
two basic objectives: to serve
as a memorial for the nation's
war dead and as a tribute to all
disabled veterans.
The American Legion Aux
iliary has always been pleased
with the heartening response
from the public to this worthy
program. We are hoping that
I960 will be our best year to
date," Mrs Hamlin said.
According to the Auxiliary the
familiar red crepe paper poppies
have been made by disabled vet
trans in hospitals throughout the
country this year. All donations
received will go directly to either
veterans or members of their
families.
