PARENTS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Here Saturday. After emerging victorious from the football game with Pilot Rock, 12-0, which was played here before a large fair day crowd, Saturday, the Hermiston high football team is preparing to play host to the Athena eleven here, Fridry, October 14. The Athena team defeated the Bulldogs earlier in the season 6-0. The stores will be cloned from 2:30 to 4:00 o’clock Friday for the game. The Bulldog team will be weak ened by the loss of several players, who were iniured in th Pilot Rock game, but Hermiston will be out for revenge when the whistle blows Fri day. The Athena team won the pre vious game by a long pass, while the Bulldogs are said to have been the stronger on end runs and Une plays. During the first quarter of the game here Saturday neither team was able to make yardage; both teams lost the ball several times due to funbles. Tlie second quarter, how- ever, brought out the Bulldog’s power. Having succeeded in putting the pigskin on Pilot Reek's 20 yard line by a long kick by Stewart the Bulldogs held the Rockets two plays 'or no gain. On the Pilot Rocks third own Hermiston recovered a fumble ind in the following play Hamman vent for a touchdown after plowing hrough the line. Try for goal tailed. During the third quarter Hunt intercepted a Pilot Rock pass on the 29 yard line ami on the next play made a wide end run which, due to perfect blocking, was good for a touchdown. The Pilot Rock game was won by excellent team work and invincible fighting spirit; the same qualities, always the Bulldog’s chief asset, are depended on to win the Athena game.

Our proposed district Armistice day cele bration proves our point. A salesman who was seen entering our office yesterday hesitated for a fracttlon of a second jtst before en tering the door and glanced at a small "No Hunting on these Premi- ses” sign displayed In the window and his sense of humor got the bet ter of him. He burst Into gales of laughter. At first we were at a loss to know the reason for such merri ment but after he inquired if the sign applied to this office we caught the point. Of course, being a knitted goods salesman he probably rather expected to see such signs In every place of business he entered but had never actually had such an experi ence before. I think we will just leave the sign there, it might put other gentlemen in the same Une of business In the right frame of mind before the questioning starts.
