Explains Reason for Recovery Bill and Intended Benefits; Result of Gold Buying Policy Uncertain. More than one hundred people heard ex-Governor Walter M. Pierce, congressman from the sixth con gressional district, speak Wednes day night in the Union church in support of the present administra tion's industrial recovery act, and on other topics of national and local interest. Congressman Pierce and Mrs. Fierce are enroute to Washington, D. C., for the next regular session of congress, by way of San Francisco, Panama Canal, and New York. Mrs. I lerce acts in the capacity of secre tary to the congressman and is equally as interesting to listen to as the congressman himself. Mr. Pierce will speak at Mosier Thursday eve ning, at Arlington Friday, and be fore the Igo Grange Saturday eve ning. He goes to Portland Sunday where he is scheduled to give a ra dio address Monday. Tuesday he and Mrs. Pierce leave for San Francisco where they take a boat for New York, arriving there December 16. In his talk Congressman Pierce described the scene in Washington last March when members of the house and senate passed the banking till which was signed by the presi dent and became a law In less than an hour. Mr. Pierce considered the recovery bill the keynote of all bills, which originally included three bil lion, three hundred million dollars for financing the different sections of the bill. The three main reasons for the bill were for unemployment relief, to divide the fruits of indust- ry, and a system devised to collect sufficient funds to return the bor- rowed money used In carrying out the public works program. Under these three divisions the public works program is to relieve unemployment, the business code to avoid monoply In industry, and the capital tax of $1 on each $1000 of declared capital, together with the gasoline tax and other processing taxes to insure the return of borrow ed money used in carrying out the recovery program, Mr. Pierce said, These available federal funds, he said, are being used in the develop- ment of rivers, harbors, highways. and on many projects over the states (Continued on page 2) Farm Changes Hands.

The Hermiston town football team motored to Wasco Sunday and played the Wasco Town team, Was- co won 6 to 0. The Wasco team outweighed Her miston 15 to 20 pounds to the man. The Wasco line averaged over two hundred pounds but were unable to idge the Hermiston line, that aver- aged one hundred and seventy pounds. On the second play of the game Hermiston shot a pass, Hammond to Yeager, that was good for fifty yards, two yards short of a touch- down. Some one on the Wasco bench said Hermiston was off side and they brought the ball back. That bit of work cost Hermiston a touchdown and probably the game. Hermiston's passing attack work ed very nicely, completing seven out of nine. Wasco completed one out of seven. Ray Woodward did some nice work on receiving, with Hammond loing some nice throwing. Ham mond's fifty yard pass to Yeager, who went high in the air to receive the pass, was (he outstanding play of the game. Wasco will play a return game at Hermiston a week from Sunday, December 3rd. This week Saturday The new Legion hall was filled to capacity last Thursday night when a pot luck supper was given prior to the regular meeting of the Legion | post. During the dinner hour Com- mander Garnet D. Best, called upon J. M. Biggs of La Grande, former commander of the local post and al so of tbe department of Oregon, who enumerated the different activities of this post and unit during the past few years. "Its contribution to the state department work, and its rep resentatives to state and national conventions has been commendable,” he said. Mrs. Biggs and Cecil Kelley also spoke a few words in appreciation of the feed. Officer Petlnger of the state police, and membership chair man for the Pendleton post, told of his accomplishments in that capa- city, and stated that his post would be over the top this year. Several musical selections were given by the Auxiliary chorus, and by a mixed quartet composed by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hamm, Mrs. Geo. Story, and Garnet D. Best. After the banquet a short busi ness session was held by the Legion- naires, and then the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing afternoon, the alumni will tackle the Bulldogs, who have shown * and singing. strong opposition in the last few All Auxiliary members who can games. sing are asked to meet every Mon Hermiston's lineup: RH Shafer LG day night with the group who are Yeager F Whitsett practicing songs for Thanksgiving Hammond C and Christmas.

(From The Bulldog) At a class meeting November 15, the seniors accepted the recommend ation of the play committee which had as its first choice "One of the Family.” This is a three-act comedy and will be given February 2, at the Oasis theatre, under the direction of Miss Margaret Elliott, class adviser. The play committee consisted of Eugene Pierce, Anna Ray Martin, Melvin Follett, and Helen Jendrze- jewski. The class decided to pay for the play books out of the treasury, and to allow no one to try out for a part unless his class dues are paid. Announcements were also select ed at this meeting. The choice of he class was a three-told card of heavy paper with the class mono gram in silver and black on the front cover. A distinctive feature of this announcement is that no sepa- rate personal card is necessary. (From the "Bulldog”) Nov. 23-24—Second six-weeks test. Nov. 25—Alumni football game.
