HELEN HAYS ACCLAIMED IN LEADING ROLE Ernest Hemingway wrote "A Farewell to Arms” for adult read- ers who could stand strong lang uage and strong emotions. Para mount’s film dramatization of the story, seen recently in preview and opening at the Oasis theatre Friday and Saturday, retains the strength and realism of the novel. The lang uage of the book has been softened, or rather the ribald words deleted and their duty transferred to the camera, but the picture remains adult—nothing for the children, but for mature and informed play goers one of the most robustly ro mantic, tenderly tearful and power fully poignant film plays of the season. Helen Hays, than whom there is no better actress on the screen, gives her all to the role of Cather ine Berkley, the English nurse of the story. Gary Cooper, as Hemingway’s "Frederic Henry” is eminently satis factory. His performance matches Miss Hayes’ in sincerity. His is a simpler character, well within the scope of his ability. The film builds powerfully and inevitably to a tragic finale of sculp turai beauty in which the hero, hav- ing cast aside honor and fought through the barriers of war, finds his child still-born and his mate dy- ing, and holds the dead girl-mother in his arms to face the dawn of peace that has come too late. SELECTED AS MANAGER OF FAIR BOARD HOLDS FIRST MEETING TO OUTLINE WORK Members of the board of direct ors for the Umatilla Project Fair held a meeting Moaday night in the office of Assistant County Agent Best to discuss plans for the fair which will be held Spetember 15th and 16th.

Todd, president, Harry Kelley, secretary-treasurer, J. Jendrzeje- wski, Chester Flannigan (new), L. C. Dyer, Chas. Lynch, Roy Attebury, and Lyle Tilden. Garnet D.

Roosevelt’s campaign speeches wondered what this new deal really was. A month in office has disclosed many of its points. "The Fighting President,” at the Oasis theatre Sunday and Monday, reveals many more of them. It reveals far more than that. It reveals the spirit and background of the man who initia ted this new deal. It is well worth seeing. Rebekah Benefit Success.

The new Oregon motor vehicle law provides that all drivers’ licens- ses issued prior to July 1, 1931, must expire on September 1, and every two years thereafter, begin ning on June 30, 19 3 5. This means that every operator carrying one of the old-type licenses must have it renewed before September and be cause there are some 400,000 drivers affected by the law, the depart- ment will be flooded with applica tions as the dead-line approaches. Persons desiring to renew their operator’s cards next Wednesday should obtain an Oregon Motorist's Manual from the Herald office, >tate police, county sheriff’s office, or chief of police In order to be pre pared for the examination.

Words Fly Between Umpire and Player in Dispute; “Youngsters” Win Over "Old Timers”. Hermiston fans witnessed their irst real baseball game Tuesday, May 30th, when the Old Timers rled to show the young sprouts how It was done. The score was 9-4 in avor of the youngsters. Manny Woodward took the mound ’or the youngsters and old "Slippery Sim” Phelps for the old fellows In 'he first inning. Bob Woodward ■aught for the youngsters and "You- Tell-Em" Longhorn for the old guys. The game was filled with thrills with Phelps, R. Woodward, and Mittlesdorf slapping the horsehide or tour rompers. It was the first time this season that the Hermiston fans have been able to see such an extra good game of extra good play- ■ rs, such as "What-A-Man" Durfey, one-time big league ball player, the Todd brothers, ye old grocery clerk, Roy Thomas, and also the big hus ky, tough-talking, ball playing from Hinkle, on second base for the grandfathers. The old guys were too much for he youngsters as Manny Woodward vas batted out of the box in the fourth inning. Walt J., Gimble, R. Shafer, G. Pierce, and R. Wood ward followed him in rapid success- on, only able to stay in the box for one inning apiece, against those lard-hitters from the superior leag uers. Things began to tame down in i he sixth inning when Dave Mittles- torf, one of the youngsters, slapped ut a nice little hit and started out hird base line. He made second, ut when he tried to steal first he was eaught in a hot-box. After a ittie maneuvering on his part and i few fumbles on the part of the old greasers, he made first base. As he was completely fugged, he sat down in the bag and called for a runner. The umpire ruled he should have no runner as he ran the wrong way. He also told him that it wasn't fair to run that way but they would not ■all him out if he would run back around to home again. All to the embarassment of "Big League” Mittlesdorf. Then something happened that showed the good sportsmanship and good will of the old leaguers. When Pierce bunted about half way to third, Logan Todd on third, as sisted by a few of his players, tried to put the ball out of bounds and all it a foul ball when the umpire wasn’t looking. In the meantime. Pierce ran around te third while they were arguing about the ball. The umpire ruled It inside and Pierce was chalked with a 3-base hit. The line-ups were as follows: C. Longhorn @ B. Woodward Phelps M. Woodward P J. Todd 1st G. Pierce "8” Matott Kopacz 2nd L. Tod 1 R. Woodward 3rd J. Dürfe ■ S Mittlesdorf M. Natio RF R. Shafer J. Attebur LF Walter J. R.
