MEETING HELD; INTERESTING PROGRAM GIVEN A President’s Son Mr. Swayse Gives Interesting Talk On the School Budget; Next Meeting, Feb. 13. The meeting of the Parent Teach er’s association held January 16. was called to order by the President. Mrs. McCully: The following program was ob served : Dialogue. ’’Pulling Sam’s Tooth.” by the sixth grade. A recitation, "The Bald Headed Man," by Floyd Pierce. The association sang a group of the P. T. A. songs. Dr. Prime sang “One Alone” from the "Desert Song,” and “You’re Al ways In My Arms” from "Rio Rita.” "The School Budget’” by Mr. Swayze proved very interesting. Mr. Swayze told of the financial condi tion of the school district, and how our school compared with the othei districts of the county. He spoke In favr of state control of school. This method would equalize the taxes throughout the state. We were sorry that a larger crowd could not be present to hear this pro gram. In the business meeting Mrs. Mc Kenzie was appointed a member of the executive committee to replace Mrs. Prime, who resigned. A discussion followed about rais ing the prices of hot lunchems but it was decided to leave the price at 3 cents per day and pay e: tra bills from the money in the treasury. After the meeting hot coffc" and cookies were served to the ladles bv the men of the school. The next T. T. A. meeting will be held the second Thursday in Feb ruary, or February 13, Mrs. W. W.

According to G. H. Jenkins, asist- ant county agent, as soon as the cold weather breaks this work will be car ried on. Those interested will be notified when and where this will take place.

All Umatilla was elated Friday night when both Umatilla boys and girls teams won from Hermiston in two hard fought games of basket ball on the Umatilla floor. Both games were good from start to fin ish. Umatilla played her six girls all the way through with no one to rely on In case of emergency, while Her miston changed players, now and then putting In a fresh player.
