E. McQuarries. Dan, Mario and Clint In background (loft) are Mrs. Doyle Key and Mrs. R. C McMurtry. Food was furnished without charge to tho church by notei urm to neip promote tno oazaar. (G-T Photo) Bazaar Acclaimed Big Success Bob Henry, chairman of the Sidewalk Bazaar, said sometime ago that he hoped the event would be the best promotion that Hennncr ever had. After two days of the fun- filled Bazaar Friday and Sat urday at which a carnival spirit prevailed, mercnants ana snop. rcrs alike were almost unani mous in their opinion that his hope had come true. Hundreds of shoppers braved the hot sun to take part, includ ing both Heppnerites and out-of-town visitors, and merchants reported excellent response to their sales of bargain Items. Organizations, too, swelled their treasuries for church, civic and community projects from proceeds of their sales and booths.

Sno big crowdVat lfree church made possible through each afternoon despite the warm weather. J. C Penney Co. gave out 119 free swim tickets to kids, mostly from out-of-town, since most of the in-town youngsters nave season tickets. In almost every case, the businessmen were enthused. Fri day's sales topped those of Sat urday, but even so. one reported that his Saturday's sales tripled those of a normal Saturday. If prizes were clven for merch ants in best costume in keep ing with the western theme. Central Market would have been hard to beat. The entire force was bedecked In pic turesque attire. Many others got the spirit. , cooperation of the Hotel Grill, baked rood sale of the Meth odist WSCS. white elephant sale or tne Lexington Altar society. soft drinks and caramel corn of the Lexington Three Links club and Rebekahs, and refreshments by the Elks' Ladies all contrib uted to the success of the affair. It had been billed as "Great fun for everyone" and there was little doubt, when it was over, that It had proved to be so. Henry was thorouchlv Dleased with the results, and asked that thanks be expressed to one and all for making the Bazaar such. a success. day with a glass of ice tea in one hand, we'd have had it made. For many years, we had want ed to ride a big combine in har vest something that is no nov elty to most East Oreeonlans but a unique experience for web foots from west of the Cascades. Delwyn Invited us out for tw years running without success, but we finally made it Satur day afternoon. David Karr. accountant for the big Stayton Canning Co. at Stay ton. 15 miles east of Salem, was nere on a visit, and we took him along. It was great fun for him too. A howdah. you know, is one of those plush little cubicles they mount on the back of an elephant in which royalty rides in comfort. When we first ar rived at Nelsons field Satur day and he drove the combine towards us. it seemed to lurch on its huge tires like an ele phant lumbering towards us. we didn t Quite know what to expect, so we had procured a wide-brimmed straw hat irom dark recess of a closet and donned a long-sleeved shirt, de spite the high temperature, on the theory that tne intense sun would turn us into a lobster like creature in an hour without some protection. The hat and shirt, together with a pair of dark glasses, must have made us look like a latter-day Hoot Gibson. Dave was braver and made the trip bareheaded and in short sleeves. We figured we'd be eovered with dust and chaff in short order, but it wasn't bad at all. The wind was blowing in the right direction to carry most oi it away Irom us. Delwyn operated the unwieldy comDine like tne captain or an ocean liner. In the shade of a big canopy, he mounted the "bridge" of the John Deere 95H and took off, telling Dave and the writer to hang on.
