view.
Scoutmaster Oscar Payne of Her-
miston Troop 56, introduced Chief
Robert Hayes, who gave greetings
from the Blue Mountain Council,
with headquarters in Walla Walla,
and an inspiring talk to the group
present: He especially stressed reg-
ular appearance of the boys before
the Court of Honor for advance-
ment. Every boy in the troop should
at least come up for one merit badge
at each court of honor meeting, he
stated. He also encouraged and
urged fathers and mothers to come
a id mingle with the boys and show
them their interest in the boy scout
work.
C. R. McCoy, scoutmaster of Irri
gon troop 64,

his application in for firemanship,
and Wayne Caldwell in woodcarv
ing. Both boys were presented cer
tificates for the award.
Devee Brown, scoutmaster of
Umatilla troop 58, presented Mar-
sellus Bray, first class scout, who

his personal health merit badge. He
explained the effect of hot and cold
w ater on the physical body. Lewis
Dexter, who had successfully passed
the Court of Honor for the safety
merit badge, /was brought before the
board of review, demonstrating an
ice rescue. Both boys were presen
ted with merit badges In recognition
of their work.
Al Quiring, secretary of the Her
miston troop, presented Paul Mar
ble, first class scout, who passed the
board of review for two merit bad
ges—leathercraft and bookbinding.
He gave a very good account of his
knowledge on both of these subjects,
producing specimens of his work
which were passed around for exa-
i nation. Oren Ienning was next
1 esent d and had as his assignment
to demonstrate tire repair for his
cycling merit badge. He explained
in detail how to repair a puncture
and other necessary things a scout
must kno’w to obtain the cycling
merit badge which was presented to
him by Mr. Hayes.

la, William Bloom. Mr. Van Scho-
lack, and W. O. Miller of Umatilla;

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.

UNEMPLOYED MEN
BACK TO WORK ON
LOCAL CWA PROJECTS
LABOR TAKEN FROM ROLL OF
UNEMPLOYED AT PENDLETON
Number of Employed in Emergency
Program Will Reach 21,000
by December 15.
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.

lowing a heart attack, He has suf
fered from recurrent attacks for

ous work.

ber 4, 1893, at Spring Valley, near

states that response to recent an
nouncements that the Army is ac

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

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA
OFFERED BY MRS. SAGER.
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. Long
passes, from Harris to Pierce for the
Bulldogs, and from Hamman
