adopted. Approximately twenty peo-
pie represented Irrigon, Umatilla,

lows hall.
This meeting was an outgrowth

mercial clubs from the communities
in the west end of Umatilla county
and north Morrow county, for the
purpose of furthering and promot-
ing the general welfare of this sec
tion of eastern Oregon, represented
by these clubs, The plan was pro
posed by Lloyd Russell of Stanfield
Commercial club who was elected
temporary chairman at this meet
ing. R. F. Williams of Irrigon was
elected secretary pro-tem.

opted at this meeting were formerly
drawn up by the Stanfield group
and presented to the membership of
the Hermiston club by representa
tives from Boardman, Irrigon. Uma
tilla, and Echo at the local club’s
last regular meeting.
Representatives present voted to
adopt, the name “Umatilla-Morrow
Development” association which will
be officially voted upon at the next
scheduled meeting when all com-
munity clubs will be officially rep-
resented.
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. In former years the fair

the lateness of the state fair, but
this year both are being held ear-
lier.
Many club show features will be
displayed again this year, an out
line of plans show. The fair will be
financed locally and a committee is
now investigating every possible fea
ture in cutting operating expense.
The Umatilla Project Farm Bureau
has pledged its support and given
its board of directors power to act
when necessary.
Officers are the same as last year
with the exception of one. They are:
R. C. Todd, president, Harry Kelley,
secretary-treasurer, J. Jendrzeje-
wski, Chester Flannigan (new), L.
C. Dyer, Chas. Lynch, Roy Attebury,
and Lyle Tilden. Garnet D. Best was
appointed publicity chairman.

one pile; it will then be transferred
to the Southern Pacific train and to
the busses.”
The group will arrive in Corval-
lis af 1:00 A. M. Monday, which is
a better schedule than for an all

is being shown by those who will
attend.

cross-breed wool. Most of this wool
was from small independently own-
ed flocks who were not tied up with
any government or cooperative mar
keting agencies.
At the time the sales were made
the western market was much high-
er than the Boston market.
STORY OF NEW DEAL
TOLD IN PRODUCTION
What was the new deal? Many
who listened to candidate Franklin
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.
A dinner and evening of enter
tainment sponsored by the local Re
bekah lodge was attended by approx
imately 96 people Wednesday night
in the Odd Fellows hall. A small
charge was made for the dinner or

BASEBALL PLAYERS
RENEW TRADITIONAL
RIVALRY TUESDAY
FICTITIOUS NAMES ADOPTED BY
OPPOSING TEAMS.
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.
