Mrs. Everett Schooley, formerly until Sunday.
Everette Kingsley of this city, re-
signed yesterday as teacher of home

held by persons able to take care of
themselves, to those in need of
work.
“It was a patriotic thing to do
and Mrs. Schooley deserves a med

"She is a fine teacher and was a
valuable member of the school sys
tem. She certainly rates the Blue
Eagle of the NRA—with palm.”
Mrs. Schooley was the first to re-
sign after the board suggested two
weeks ago that it is the patriotic
duty of married teachers, whose hua
bands draw good salaries, to step
aside in favor of less fortunate
members of the profession.

E. P. DODD SENDS LETTER OF
THANKS TO WOMEN’S CLUB.
The following letter was received
by the Women’s Community Club
from B. P. Dodd, after they appro
priated $150.00 for the carrying on
of his work as secretary to the Tri-
State organization for the Umatilla
Rapids Dam:
"I want to thank you for your
generous appropriation of funds to
ward the support of the Umatilla
Rapids. I am sure this movement
would not have gone over If it had
not been for your action. I have
used the money so far for expenses,
and hope that in the near future
other funds will begin to come in to
carry on the work. It is meeting
with great success so far as general
interest and publicity is concerned
and today we are forwarding Hon
orable Harold L. Ickes, Administra
tor of Public Works, at Washington
D. C., a formal application for funds
for building the Umatilla Rapids
dam and tor improvement along the
Snake river. We have sent letters
and telegrams to the President and
head officials in Washington D. C.,
and have written all state and na
tional officers of the three states
and have sent letters and printed
matter to seventy-five newspapers
in this district and to as many
chambers of commerce.”
FIRE DESTROYS SEELIGER
HOME SUNDAY NIGHT.
Fire destroyed the Paul Seeliger
home, a mile north of the Jess Prin-
die place in Westland district, last
Sunday night about 9:30 P. M. The
cause of the fire is undetermined
but it is thought that perhaps when
Lewis Seeliger took a handfull of
matches from the box he perhaps
lit one in the box, just before com-
ing to town that night. Mr. and
Mrs. Seeliger and family were in
Walla Walla at the time of the fire
so nothing was saved except several
boxes of fruit which neighbors and
friends saved after being notified
by the alarm which rang about
9:30. There was no insurance.
Everything was a total loss. Busi
ness houses and friends of the See-
ligers are responding with clothing,
food and money to help them get
started again.
Student Body Tickets Reduced.
Associated Student dues in the
years previous to 1932 in the Her
miston Union high school were
$2.50. Last year they were reduced
to $2.00, and the finances were in
very good shape at the close of the
school year.
Because of the continued finan-
cial shortage, the principal propo-
ses a tee of $1.50 this year, subject
to the approval of the student coun
di. Tickets will be on sale at the
office on Thursday and Friday of
this week, and if all students will
get a ticket, the reduced fee will be
sufficient.
