T he HERMISTON H erald VOL. XIII HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 1. 1919 ARGE ATTENDANCE AT FATHER AND SON BANQUET The Father & Son banquet given riday night by the Civic Club in lack’s hall was one of the big rents of Hermiston and an unqual- ed success, voted so by those most ale judges of all things gastrono- lc, father and son. Nearly two hundred tickets were ild, and every one came. In accor- mce with the patriotic spirit which rompted the celebration, the hall ras gayly decorated with an abun- ànce of flags and bunting. Potted plants were on each table rith the exception of the center able where a big red, white and lue Liberty Bell held the place of onor. Tiny flags were at each late. The young matrons of the town erved as waitresses and the kitchen vas under the direction of Mrs. lunn. The Hermiston Orchestra and a uartette composed of Messrs. Prime, traw, Rees & Akers furnished music luring the evening. Toastr -ster Gunn introduced the olio-ving boys lately returned from he service: Earl Kingsley, Wm. ik, Hollis Percey, Dale Hinkle, ‘rank Stone, Harold Sullivan, and ,'has. Rheberge, who spoke interest- ngly of camp, sea, and aviation rork. Father Butler and Rev. Gallaher poke along more serious lines re- arding the relation of fathers to ward their sons, Mr. Gunn read a jumorous poem by and about 'Mother,” and the festivities closed rith three cheers and a tiger for the adies of the Civic Club. Here’s the poem: and son! It sounds quite fine And is both right and proper, bit with no mother on the job They’d come an awful cropper! ather hey strut about with manly pride, Their chests distended far, lut where’d they be, I'm asking you. If it hadn’t been for ma? ust stop and figure out a bit; Let’s get down to brass tacks, Vith mother gone, there’d be no son. Now aren’t these solid facts, Vho wiped away his childish tears? Who also wiped his nose? Who washed his hands every hour? Who also washed his clothes? Did father ever clean him up Until he shone like gold? Did father ever stop a meal His howling child to hold? Does father say “now sonny, don’t?” Or "sweetheart, now please do?” He says "for heaven’s sake, shut up;” Or he’s stubborn, Just like you.” We crave no laurels from your brow, No stars from out your crown. But if mother weren’t the life-line Father and son would drown. Contractor Here M. J. Conley, of the contracting firm of Porter & Conley of Portland, which has 22 miles of the Columbia Highway to build in Morrow county, was here Wednesday in conference with his old friends, Colonels H. G. Newport and J. K. Shotwell. The gentleman states that the work of establishing the camps preparatory to beginning operations was pro- pressing.
