Officers who were called to investi gate could find no trace of them. B. J. Nation, night marshal was at the depot Sunday morning at 3:30 and saw a car at Rohrman's garage. He went over to see if the driver wanted some gas, but when he got there the car was unoccupied and the gasoline pump had been broken. He placed the car inside the garage after waiting for the driver to return. Although Mr. Nation did not see anyone in or near the car, from other witnesses it is evident that two men had been in it. The car had no registration card or any other identification marks. The car was stolen from a garage at 21st and north Everett streets in Portland, according to Sergeant Bert Staats of the state police, who investigated the case. Later reports state that the two men were arrested In Baker Wed nesday. ton AUTO LICENSE EXAMINER’S One of the most successful sport events ever sponsored by the Amer- i an Legion, Hermiston Post No. 37, was staged Tuesday and Wednesday lights featuring amateur boxing and wrestling events.

UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY ing variety. SCHEDULE CHANGED. Inasmuch as the re-licensing of Oregon motor vehicle operators in the eastern part of the state has been almost completed, it has been deemed advisable to combine the two eastern Oregon traveling exam iners' territories so that they might be more economically operated. For this reason, a new schedule has been drafted which will be handled by Mr. C. M. Bentley, examiner, says Hal E. Hoss, Secretary of State. Effective February 1st, the exam iner will be on duty at Hermiston once every four weeks, beginning Saturday, February 10th, 1934. He will rqturn on Saturday, March 10, 1934, and continue on this basis un til further notiee. The hours will be from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. and the location will be remain at the city library. A printed copy of the complete new examiners’ schedule for both eastern and western Oregon will soon be released which will show that the Hermiston district will be afforded the same frequency of ser vice in the future as in the past.

Crew of Men Under 0. C. Piereo Now Working on Road East From Strohm Ranch. Work on CWA projects In the Hermiston vicinity under H. A. Pankow as foreman, is nearly com- pleted. There are sixteen men now working to complete these projects which it is understood will be elosed within a few days. Up to the pres ent time approximately $4900.00 has been used in the completion of projects here, including the surfac ing of the Butter Creek-Westland road to the steel bridge. Mr. Pankow has had 24 men working for 36 days, ten teems for 3 6 days, and two trucks for 28 days, since the mopey tor work was allocated by the CWA for this dis trict, starting the latter part of De cember. Work on the road running east from the George Strohm place is now being done under the foreman ship of O. C. Pierce. An average of twelve men are being employed on this construction. Road construction completed in cludes: 3000 feet of road graded and ditched, 200 yards reck for bal last, and 800 yards gravel for sur face on the road running south from the Farm Bureau building; 2600 feet ef road graded and ditched and 600 yards gravel for surface on road running east for 2600 feet from the A. F. Rohrman residence corner; 600 feet et read graded and 100 yards of rock and gravel for ballast on the road running south from Gibb’s corner. The administration has not an nounced when the allocation of money for CWA and PWA projects will cease but up to the present time the work created by such allo cation has kept many men employed here who would otherwise have found it necessary to seek aid, in maintaining their families. Men who secure employment on these projects must register with the unemployment agency in Pen dleton. SUBSCRIPTION, $1.00 PER YEAR HERMISTON TEAMS WIN AND P.T.A. CONSIDERS SWIMMING LOSE GAMES LAST WEEK END. POOL POSSIBILITIES. The Hermiston basketball teams each took a victory and a defeat Friday and Saturday of last week. The Echo high school team out played the Bulldogs in a 14 to 27 score Friday night on their own court. The local town team won from the Echo hoopers in a close game, 24-28, the same night. Both teams went to Arlington Saturday night when the high school defeated their opponents 13- 16, and the Blackhawks lost to the town team, 29-40, Monday night the Blackhawks were defeated in a return game with the Pendleton Knights of Co- kimbus in an over time period, 25- 34. The game ended in a tie, 25- all, but during the play-off Henning was put out on fouls, and the Knights of Columbus boys dropped in a few long shots chalking up nine points for a decisive victory. A very interesting meeting was enjoyed by all parents and teachers who attend another monthly meet ing of that group Wednesday, Jan uary 31. Oscar Payne gave a timely talk on "Character Education.” He de- fised character as "what a person is—aot what he is going to be.” He stated that the task building cha racter is too often left to the teach ers and the school. Contrary to that idea, character building should be gin at home. Keeping the child oc cupied all the time is essential. To accomplish this requires time, but it is time well spent. That partic ularly active child if properly oc cupied and guided may possess un usual qualities for success. Other numbers on the program included: music by the fifth grade; a reading by Ruth Dodd; and music by Donald DeMoss, Melvin and Bruce Follett. The question of hot lunches was brought up. No definite action was taken owing to the warm weather which has made hot lunches unnec essary. Mrs. Mueller brought up the ques- tian of building a community swim ming pool. The idea was met with great favor. A committee consist ing of Oscar Payne, W. G. Dyer, Clarence Henning and John Clarke was appointed to look into the fea- sability of such a plan. The com mittee is to have a report ready for the next meeting. FAREWELL DINNER GIVEN W. E. JONES FAMILY. A dinner was given by members of the Hermiston Union church Sun day in honor of Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Jones and family who plan to leave in the near future to make their home In Wilamina, Oregon. Sun day closed Rev. Jones’ pastorate with the church after four years of devoted service. During the afternoon a purse of 842.96 was presented Mr. Jones, and a check of $8.00 to Mrs. Jones from members of the Ladles Aid. Expressions of appreciation for Mr. Jones’ work were heard and a letter read from Mr. and Mrs. Cecil War ner, former members of the church, now of Grangeville, Idaho, express ing regret that Rev. and Mrs. Jones were leaving Hermiston. Nearly 120 people were served at dinner. During the dinner hour it was announced that Rev. and Mrs. Jones would be entertained by the Pine City church next Sunday, Feb ruary 4, and all Hermiston friends were invited to attend.

Approximately 20 Boy Scouts from the Hermiston troop and about 12 from the Umatilla and Irrigon troops will attend a mobilization meeting in Walla Walla Saturday, February 10. to hear a broadcast by President Roosevelt, when he will make a direct radio appeal to the Boy Scouts of the nation. The Pres ident has informed his advisors that the great national project which he will ask the boys to perform will be in the nature of a service of relief, but the exact nature of what it is to be he is keeping entirely as his own secret until he talks to the boys direct. When he makes his request, the President will be surrounded by Eagle Scouts and Walter W. Head, the President of the Boy Scouts of America and Dr. James West, the Chief Executive, will be present. The scout call from the nation’s chief executive will be broadcast over stations on the national net work, it is thought, but more defi nite time and stations will be an nounced later. O. W. Payne, Hermiston troop scout master, says that the largest mobilization of scouts ever experi enced in the Blue Mountain Council is expected on that date. February 10 was chosen as it comes within Scout Week, February 8 to 14, mak ing the twenty-fourth anniversary of the organisation of the Boy Scouts in this country, a group which last year had an enrollment of 1,300,000 men and boys, making it the greatest youth organisation in the world.
