BIG WHEAT MEET WILL BE HELD DECEMBER 8-9 After one of the most eventful years for the wheat grower In re- cent times, members of the Eastern Oregon Wheat league, among the state’s most active farm groups, will meet in Moro December 8 and 9, to review the events of the past and plan for those of the future. Since its inception, this wheat growers’ organization has been known as one that is not content to meet and pass resolutions to be soon forgotten, but instead it provides machinery for following up its rec- immendations so that each passing year finds much of its program being nut into effect by the state and to some extent by the nation. Business of the convention will be handled again this year on a com mittee basis, announces Charles Smith, Heppner, secretary of the eague. These have been reduced to our major groups made up of 183 of the leading growers from every ection of the Columbia basin. Grow- rs head these committees with rep- 'esentati ves of the state college chool of agriculture as secretaries. Committee heads this year are: axation and legislation, J. B. Ad- uns, Moro, chairman, and E. R. 'ackman, Corvallis, secretary; Mar- ceting and finance, Charles Harth, The Dalles, chairman, and E. L. Potter, Corvallis, secretary; trans- ortation, L. J. Kelly, The Dalles, hairman. and W. W. Lawrence, The alles, secretary; wheat handling, warehouseing, production, etc., H. D. Proudfoot, Wasco, chairman, and G. R. Hyslop, Corvallis, secretary. Moro is preparing to entertain a large attendance as past-experience has proved that eastern Oregon growers attend in force regardless of handicaps. Last year when finan cial conditions had reached their lowest ebb, scores went to the an nual meeting, set up group batching carters where they prepared their own meals and slept at practically no cash expense. Despite this, or be cause of it, the meeting was declar ed to be the most interesting and successful of all. SPECIAL PROGRAM IS OFFERED FOR THANKSGIVING DAY "College Humor," a Paramount film play heralded as a gay and giddy comedy-satire, will play at the Oasis theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a matinee Thanks giving day. In the cast are Bing Crosby as a crooning professor, Jack Oakie as a milk-fed freshman, Richard Arlen as an all-American line wrecker who mixes liquor and girl trouble with his football, George Burns and Tracie Allen as campus caterers, Mary Carlilse as the school siren, ind Mary Bornman as a co-ed whose nind runs to football sweaters, fra- ernity pins and automobiles. The film is promised as a well mixed batch of nonsense in keeping with the title, going dramatic only enough to provide contrast for the comedy, and presenting all the old college comedy hokum with a new slant that makes it dizzy and de- ightful. Though the picture is not primar ily a musical, several songs, mainly by Bing Crosby, are introduced, and here are some dancing interludes. Bong with a couple of football games, all totaling up. according to promises of the studio and theatre, is frivolous foolery that any mem- ************ >er of the family can enjoy.

Twenty-one unemployed men were put to work in Hermiston last Mon day on emergency projects designed to afford relief during the most pres sing months of the winter season. This special work is being accom plished with funds from the Civil Works administration which will enable the state of Oregon to employ 21,000 men during the next month. The first consideration in gaining employment on these projects is to be listed with the re-employment agency at the Elk’s Temple in Pen- illeton. The list of men employed on the Hermiston projects has been taken from the list of unemployed men registered in Pendleton. H. A. Pankow is supervising the work in Hermiston and has 21 men working to complete the renovation of the city water works. The next project, upon which work started the first of the week, is leveling and resurfac ing the road from the Farm Bureau to the Thomas Campbell farm Six men, a truck, and a team are now working on that project and the re mainder of the crew will be shifted to that work the last of the week. All work on these projects within the city limits must be completed by January 5th, Mr. Pankow said. In Oregon the first contingent of 3000 will transfer from relief rolls *o payrolls, and as the work assign ments continue it is expected that he state’s full quota of 21,000 will be working by December 15. Of the first group to be employed in the state 3488 will be from Multnomah - ounty.

FEW ARMY VACANCIES LEFT, SAYS RECRUITING OFFICER. Major Paul Hathaway, U. S. Ar my Recruiting Officer, 323 New Post Office Building, Portland, Ore., states that response to recent an nouncements that the Army is ac cepting men for enlistment has been so great that it is very probable that remaining vacancies will be filled in a very short time, Vacancies are still available in the 10th Field Ar tillery. Fort Lewis, Washington, and in 7th Infantry at Vancouver Barracks, Wash, Many deserving young men were disappointed in their efforts to be enrolled for duty with the C. C. C. due to the limited quotas and due also to the fact that one of the first requirements for enrollment was that the applicant have bona fide dependents. Those men who were disappointed in their hope to get into the C.C.C. still have an oppor tunity to enlist in the regular ar my. Application for enlistment should not be delayed, however, as it is believed that remaining vacan cies will soon be filled and that it will be necessary to establish a wafting list as has been done in the past two years. Two hundred and forty-nine men have been enlisted by the Portland Recruiting Station : during the past four months. Plead Guilty.

With the approach of another Christmas season, homemakers once more take up the search for attrac tive, useful and economical gifts, preferably something that can be made at home. Mrs. Azalea Sagar, extension specialist in clothing and textiles at O.S.C., suggests an at tractive scarf for each member of the family as one partial solution to the problem. A knitted scarf and beret to match will please the little tot, the grade school or high school girl, while the older members of the family will often welcome a gay silk scarf, Mrs. Sager says. Scarfs, by the way. are being worn short, not more than a yard long, and tied up closely around the neck. Two strips of plain silk material one-third yard wide and a yard long can be combined to make two good looking scarfs, Mrs. Sager says. To make them, take two strips of cloth of different hut harmonious colors. Mark the center of each strip; that is, 18 inches from either side. Then mark the center of this. Connect this point to a point on the opposite side at the center 18 inch mark and at the outer edge. This makes a triangle 18 inches at base and 15 inches on either side. Each atrip will cut three triangles and two small end triangles measuring 12x 0x15. Intermingle the colors and sew the triangles together again so that a flat strip remains; the two small end triangles and central tri angles of one color, the intermediate triangles of the second color. Sew the two sides together. Then press it so that the side seam Is in the center of the scarf instead of at one side. Sew up one end. Turn the scarf inside out and blind stitch the open end. The Hermiston town football team is all set for Wasco next Sun day when they will meet the heavy aggregation on the local field at 2:00 p. m. Two weeks ago when the borne boys journeyed to Wasco they were defeated in a close battle, with the score only 6-0 against them When they meet these boys on their own field here they will be out with everything they have. More valuable material has been added to the local line-up, giving a number of substitutes to put in when some of the first string men are eliminated. A large crowd is expected to be out for this game, to see some of the former Hermiston high stars tn action. The boys had a good work-out last Friday afternoon when they met the Bulldogs in a fierce and close battle. The score was tied at the end of the game, 12-12. The Bulldogs were inspired by having their coach in the line-up with them against the heavier town boys. Al though the town team seemed to have the edge, they nevertheless displayed some splendid team work which the town boys didn’t have because of lack of practice.
