Mn Parker. Ionc-tlme cnap-
ter member, may certainly be
described as a remarkable source
of authority on Ruth Chapter
hlstorv. dating back to February'
1. 1KS when the lodge was
instituted with Mr. Ida E11U
as the first worthy matron and
P. O. Borg. first worthv patron.
Of the 3-1 charter member, only
one. Mrs. Margaret Horner Read.
Is still living. Mr. Read, now
in her nineties, reside In a
nursing home in Portland.
i Records of earlv year were
lost in the flood of 1901 They
were kept at the home of Mr.
Henrietta Cohn. who was sec
retary at the time, and the home
and possessions were washed
away.
As the years progressed the
orleinal Masonic hall, a two
story wooden structure with its
lodge rooms above a grocery
store and the post office, be
came inadequate, the Masonic
orders decided to erect a new
one of brick and modern design.
The present hall was construc
ted in 191516.
Although the financial status
of the chapter over the years
has been mainly favorable, it
is on record that during the de
pression year of 1933. sheep skin
scrip, a common medium of ex
change in Heppner at the time,
was accepted by the chapter for
dues.
Members have participated in
many worthwhile fund raising
projects and memorable social
events during the lodge's 70-year
history and a full and complete
summary would be a truly im
pressive document.
One of the many notable facts
brought to light by Mrs. Parker,
is that of eight members who
have been active in the lodge
for more than 50 years each.
They are Miss Ona Gilliam. Mrs.
Emma Evans, Mrs. Vivian Ball,
Mrs. Sophronia Thompson. Mrs.
Earl Gilliam. Mrs. Virginia
Turner. Miss Georgia Perry, Mrs.
Ella Warren. Walla Walla, and
charter member, Mrs. Read.
Two life members are Frank
Hulbert of Auburn. Calif., and
Mrs. Beulah Gomillion of Athena.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK IS PEOPLE
....Serving the Banking Needs of Other Oregon People
Both the manager of First National's Pendleton branch, and the Eastern Oregon wheat
grower who farms thia field, are concerned with Oregon wheat production. This field of
Gaines wheat, a new and predominant variety, averaged better than 60 bushels to the
acre, somewhat of an increase over the average for this area. It is a white wheat, excel
lent for pastry flour and well liked in the Orient, where much of it goes through interna
tional trade. The harvest hereabout is usually started in July and completed by the
end of August. First National provides financial service for both large and small wheat
growing operations.
Heppner Branch Man
ager John Venard and
hi staff have a total
of 100 years experi
ence in banking. They
know people and con
ditions in the Heppner
area. Consult these
hometown peop'a for
every banking need.
