heavy downpour came Thurs

Harvest Is now probably 75 or
80 complecd, but certainly It

Ncls Writes Card
From Washington
Nels Andumon. Jn Wahlng.
ton, D. C this week to take
tests preparatory to going to
Niger. Africa, has written a
card to bring his friends up
to date. He said recently that
In endeavors to get him to
learn the French language, he
Is required to "live, breathe,
sleep and eat" the language.
That probably explains his
message, which follows:
"Cher Wes. Je arrive par
avion ce matin a Wn., I). C.
Je prendre mon examen aprcs
mldl aujourd'hul. J'al passer
le examen tres blen. Je suls
enchanter! Aprcs deux ou

Jours Je retourne a Heppner.
Wn., II est beaucoup chaudcr.
II est seche aussl. J'espero vols
beaucoup a Wn.. D. C, devant
Je pars pour N. Y. Au revolr,
Nels."
Well, now. We think Nels Is
telling us that he took his ex
amination, passed It very well,
and was delighted about It.
After two or three days In
Washington, he expected to go
on to New York, and then af
ter three days more plans to
return to Heppner. Some of
you Frenchmen will have to
flguro out the rest.

said that he had "blacked out"
four times In the past 10 days
and was Informed by nis local
doctor that he faced the prob
ability of a paralytic stroke un
less he underwent treatment

parently stems from the old

He suffered one attack while
driving with his wife near their
mountain cabin about two
weeks ago. He felt It coming
and pulled off to the side of the
