grove, Calif., son of a former
Morrow county sheriff, will

mementoes of his father to the
Heppner-Morrow museum here

The gold medal was earned
by the sheriff in the year 1914

the train and was dozing when
three robbers entered. He was

for his heroism and for thwart

mementoes that Col. McDuffee
will present Friday.

Amanda Duvall and Mrs.
Rachel Harnett.

Sheriff C, J. D. Bauman.
Challenge to the Heppner-
Morrow County Chamber trf
Commerce by the new Heppner
Jaycees for a tug-of-war at the
Queen's Coronation Saturday
night brought a prompt and
scornful reply from the older
organization
Result Is that each organiza
tion is now girding for the
contest, set for 8:15 on that
night at the fair pavilion.
The fire was ignited when
this challenge was read at the
Monday Chamber of Commerce
meeting:
"The J u n i or Chamber of
Commerce would like to chall
enge the Senior Chamber to a
tug of war at the Queen's
Coronation next Saturday
night. August 15, at 8:15 p. m.
at the Heppner fairgrounds.
"We know there are only 14
of us and 60 of you, with by far
the most weight on the old
men's side, but we feel these
odds are jus right
"We know who pulls hardest
for Heppner, who the loser will
be and who will be the wettest.
Get your friends to help. Sign
ed, The Jaycees."
Frank Turner, spunky old
timer in the Chamber, is not
one to take such an impertin
ent message lying down, and
he promptly demanded that
the members accept the chall
enge. Frank was then named chair
man of a committee to organ
ije, recruit, train and mobilize
for the event by Al Lamb, pres
ident, and before the day was
out. Turner had this call to the
colors out in the form of a let
ter to every C of C member:
"The Heppner Junior Cham
ber of Commerce, with only
fourteen scrawny, lightweight
members, has the audacity to
challenge the Heppner-Morrow
County Chamber of Commerce,
consisting of some fifty-five
b lg-be Hied elbow-bending
heavyweights, to a tug-of-war
to take place at the Heppner
Rodeo grounds on Saturday,
August 15, at 8:15 p.m.
"Both parties reserve the
right to invite their friends to
assist with the ordeal, so come
on, you big hunks of sausage,
to help defend the honor of the
Senior Chamber, and we will
make a bunch of monkeys out
q( those little shrimps.
"Invite your friends, and
come one and all on Saturday,
August 15. Sincerely, Frank
Turner, chairman."
As organized by the Queen
Coronation committee, the tug-
of-war will find a stream or
water coming from a fire hose
as the dividing line. Winners
will be those who can pull the
others through the water.
Turner Indicated that Cham
ber members who fail to
appear are liable for trial for
treason.
