At the annual father and son ban quet Monday night sponsored by the Hermiston Boy Scouts the troop was presented with the “President Hoo ver Award” for 1932 for which they have been working the past several months. Scout Executive Robert R. Hayes of Walla Walla made the award before the 88 guests present at the banquet, and congratulated the local troop on its splendid work. Following the banquet, which was served by the ladies of the Methodist church. Toastmaster E. P. Dodd in troduced Supt. R. H. McAtee who spoke on “Education in Connection with Boy Scout Work.” He par ticularly stressed the value of Boy Scout work in building up the boys to make good citizens. O. W. Payne, local boy scout mas ter, told of the increase in interest shown in the work here over that of last year. He went on to say that "the scouts, having qualified for award upon the following basis the local troop is now the proud possess or of the award.” “Some months ago the president of the-United States and the presi dent of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, in confer ence, drew up a program of scout- Ing for the next ten years, in which the troops of the entire country would be urged to lend their sup port, and endeavor to carry out the program. “The first requirement being the careful study of the program, which has for its main objective the en listing of every boy who becomes 12 years of age, and holding him in the ranks of scouting for four years.

The same evening the Hermis ton high Bulldogs play what will perhaps be their last game of the season when the fued between the locals and Stanfield gets the second airing of the season. The Bulldogs won an earlier game. Both games promise to be exciting as the teams are evenly matched. The Bulldogs lost a game to the St. Joseph’s Academy team in Pen dleton last Friday night, the score being 15-16. This was the third con test which the locals have dropped by a one point margin this year. The game between the Black Hawks and K. of C. which followed the high school game was won by the Pendleton team 33-25. The lo cals played good ball but the ab sence of several first string players weakened the Black Hawks scoring strength. The Black Hawks line-up was: Quiring and Johnson, forwards; Glen Hamman, center; Yeager and Everett Hamman guards. Jim Len hart substituted. Those playing for the Bulldogs were: Harris and Ben- sei, forwards; Bowman center; and Martin and Reeves guards. CORRECTION MADE IN STATE MENT ABOUT CO-OP CREAMERY.
