SCOUTMASTER PAYNE EXPLAINS Hermiston .........................
Annual Father-Son Banquet Well
Attended; Clever Stunts Add
Color to Meeting.
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 second, the continuous growth
of the troop by at least 50 per cent
of the troop appearing before the
court of honor for advancement in
the work. The third, each troop
must hold at least 75 per cent of the
possible troop meetings of the year.
Of course the actual living of the
scout laws and oath make up a great
part of the entire program. Having
the very rare privilege of entering
Into such a program makes the local
troop rather proud, but to have the
distinction
of
being
numbered
among the list of troops in the coun
try qualifying, gives the entire
community the thrill so keenly felt
by the boys of the troop.

Hermiston's Black Hawks will get
a chance to move out of the cellar
Friday night when a victory over
the Stanfield five in a. game to be
played here would tie Stanfield and
Hermiston for low percentage hon
ors. 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.

Johnson secretary to the late Con
gressman R. R. Butler, that he was
third on the West Point military
academy competitive examinations
late last fa’ . The results of the ex
aminations were submitted to Con
gressman Butler after he became
too ill to attend to his official du-
ties, and, consequently he was un-
able to sign an appointment.
“The war department informs me
that the vacancy at the military
academy will remain to the credit
of the second Oregon congressional
district, and since no special elec-
tion is to be held to name a succes
sor to Mr. Butler, I presume that
the appointment will te at the dis
posal of Congressman-elect Pierce,”

adding: "I regret the situation con-
cerning the appointment, but wish
to congratulate you upon the splen-
did showing you made in a most
