Esther Kirmis-A Life of Service In this life there are those who serve their fellowmen so fully but yet so quietly that the true extent of thelf service is not realized until they are gone. Such a person was Esther KIfIThe widespread impact that her unexpected death brings in this county is testimony to her good works. Hundreds of young persons came under her training and influence through the 4-H program and virtually every woman in the county has at some time benefitted either directly or indirectly from her service as home extension agent - ' ; While many know of her work with 4-H clubs and home economics units, probably not so many realized how many meetings she attended, how nany public appearances she made, and how much time she devoted to furthering programs that were aimed at making Ufe and living better and more worth while for others. Last year, when it appeared that the extension program would be curtailed, it was obvious that Miss Klrmls' work had touched the lives of many persons. They rallied at public meet ings, and many women, coming from all parts of the county, strongly expressed their support of the work she had done. As it does to many persons of the county In various ways, her loss reaches home to this newspaper, for next week will be the first time that we will not have one of her by-lined articles in the paper in any weekly issue during the current ownership, and prior to that Esther Klrmls wasn't an old-timer In the count" she had only been here six years. Yet she was one who folks always seemed to rely on. even to take for granted: "Esther will be there." "Esther will do it" Now the sudden realization that she will not be here, that death will keep her from doing the many things that the public expected her to do, emphasizes the shock of losing her. When death comes, a person could hope for no better monument than the love and respect that he gained for having served others selflessly and with sincere purpose. Esther Kirmls leaves this immortal monument Memorial Day fmnriai Dav Is souarelv in than that it is a reflection of the American character. We are a sentimental people. And that most certainly, Is nothing to be ashamed of . It is a source of kindness, of con sideration for others, of the compassion that distinguishes us from the lower animals. And Memorial Day represents a special and wholly admir able form of sentiment When we place our flowers on graves, In sadness and in pride, there is an uplifting of the spirit We are expressing love. And we are paying tribute to the virtues and dearness of those who passed on before us. And, even If we do not visit a cemetery, we remember, and in that way the dead take on a form of new life. One cannot conceive of a year in which there would be no Memorial Day. For it is the privilege of the living to honor those who are gone.

Late Condon Rally Defeats Pony Nine By KIT ANDERSON The Heppner Ponies found out that a baseball game is never over until the final out is made when they lost to the condon Demons Saturday, May 16, 9 to 6, on the Heppner diamond. The Ponies took the field in the last inning with an apparent 3-1 victory but allowed eight runs before the last out was made. In. the bottom of the final stanza Heppner retaliated with three runs but it wasn't enough. The Ponies had taken the lead in the third inning and added an insurance run in the fourth. The Condon boys coupled four walks and two errors to pick up their eight runs. Kevan Pratt blasted a 3 run homer in the last of the fifth inning, but the Condon club was out of reach. Score: Condon Heppner 100 08 101 13 9 7 2 6 4 2 Batteries: Kilkenny and An derson; Anderson, Carnaine (5) and Riney. Chaff nd Wes THEY SAY thnt cats have nine lives, but it could be W1 that some have Instincts like homing pigeon, too. Last fall, the Alvln Wagon blast family put n cat in a box. secured the box with string, put it in the car and drove to The Dalles to give the kitty to a family there. The other day they were amazed when the pussy cat turned up back at the home place at Lexington, apparently having found its way back by Itself, well over a 100 mile hike, after having made the on y trip of its life to The Dalles In the dark. Orville Cutsforth heard the storv and did a little J'Kurlng. If the cat took steps of 3 to b inches, he calculated. It would take 200 million steps to walk back home. And this doesn t al low any deviations for hunting .vinr. urninn turns and so on. Seems reasonable enough. However, if the cat could lane thrt ilani ru't BPCOnd. that would be 180 per minute, or 10,800 per hour. At that rate. It would have taken pussy IS. 500 hours to make the hike, or T7A Wens That IL'ntllil AH (IV V J . A 4 . w . something over two years, and the feline was only taken to The Dalles last fall.

HAROLD ERWLN, whose qualifi cations for recognizing a cow boy should be about as good as anyone's, watched a recent tele vision commercial for Marlboro cigarettes about as long as he could. It showed a fellow who was supposed to be a cowboy, and Harold knew right off that the guy didn't know one end of a horse from the other. For one thing, he was wearing his spurs upside down. 3n iiamlrf Kat down and WTOte a letter to the company, venting lh. mmnlslnl that the COmCOn V should not foist such psuedo characters on me puoiic a totter ramp back from the Marlboro brand manager mm coir ttio nther Hav.

"I hope you won't hold this error against us, ana you can be sure we will try harder for authenticity in the future. 'Thanks very much for your Interest and for taking the trouble to write us." Harold might have suggested that if the company wanted some real cowboys, it could hire them from Morrow county. MRS. CLARENCE BAUMAN was driving up Main street Satur day w ith Mrs. Nina Snyder when she spied a tannlsh-colored belt In the street, between First Nat ional Bank and Heppner Ford. Thinking that a car would hit it and smash the buckle, she stopped the car to remove the belt from the street When she got closer, however, the belt moved. It was a snake about three feet long. Others passing by stopped to see what was going on, and some of the men from Heppner Ford came out One had a push broom and poked at the snake. It struck at the broom, and gen eral opinion was that It was a rattler. They finally killed the ,1 v a mm-1 aaa UlAHT ADS V L PHONE 6-9228 Chatter Sherman snake with the broom. It dldn t have any rattles, but was said to have a button on Its tall. Wo enn't confirm It or deny It but only rtKirt their opinion. They should have showed It to County Agent NeU Anderson who told us once that he had been In Morrow county a good many years and hadnt seen a rattler yet ... Hope visitors don't stay sway from Heppner figuring that they may step on a rattlesnake on Main street !
