IN MEMORIAM
P. F. Freeman, St. Johns Review
Dedicated to the memory of the
late Floyd McMullen, who depart
ed this mortal life April 28, 1935,
while bravely fighting the fire
that destroyed the Oregon state-
house.
Never did he give a thought
To danger, life or fate.
As he honored “Old Willamette,”
His parents, name and state.
When angry tongues of flame
Enveloped the form he loved,
Floyd heeded not the masonary
That, came showering from
above.
His only thought was duty,
With a heart so strong and
brave ;
Valued not his mortal life—
If he that form might save.
His was a hero's death,
As he answered duty's call.
And in a loyal service done
He gave his life—his all.
How peacefully he is resting
There on his Savior’s arm! —
Free from all pain and strife,
Or the thought of earthly harm.
As the minutes pass to hours.
And the days to year on year.
That mortal life so bravely given
Will live in memory dear.
Where now is wreckage strewn,
A structure new will rise;
Blessed is that immortal guest —
Looking down from heaven's
skies.
May God in all His power
Give a blessing, fond and kind,
To the many friends and relative*
That Floyd has left behind.

Saturday, May 25th, was pro
claimed Poppy Day in Hermiston in
a proclamation issued today by
Mayor F. C. McKenzie. The procla
mation urged all citizens to honor
the World War dead by wearing the
American Legion and Auxiliary
memorial poppy on that day, and to
aid the war’s living victims by con
tributing to the Legion and Auxilia
ry welfare funds. The proclamation
follows:
"The City of Hermiston during
the great crisis of the World War
sent forth its sons in response to the
nation’s call. They served gallant
ly in the nation’s defense, and of
their numbers some were called
upon to lay down their lives in that
service. The memory of their pa
triotic sacrifice should always be
held dear by the citizens of Hermis
ton.
"Others of these brave young men
were called upon to sacrifice, not
life, but the health and strength
which makes life worth while. Their
families and the families of the dead
also required to make heavy sacri-
flees. These disabled and depen-
dents are still paying the human
price of our nation’s World War
victory.
"From the battle front in France
our returning soldiers brought the
poppy as the symbol of sacrifice and
the memorial flower of the dead.
Each year on the Saturday before
Memorial Day the men of the Amer-
ican Legion and the women of the
American Legion Auxiliary ask us
to wear this flower in tribute to the
nation’s fallen defenders and to
give in exchange for the flower a
contribution to aid the war’s living
victims.
"Therefore, I, F. C. McKenzie,
Mayor of Hermiston, urge all citi
zens to honor the dead and aid the
living by wearing the American Le
gion and American Legion Auxiliary
memorial poppy on Saturday, May
25th.
“And to that end, I do hereby pro
claim Saturday, May 25th, Poppy
Day in the City of Hermiston.”
F. C. McKenzie, Mayor.

OASIS THRILLER SEQUEL TO
ORIGINAL FRANKENSTEIN FILM.
One of the strangest screen dram
as to be offered the public in recent
years is “The Bride of Franken
stein,” which will be at the Oasis
theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday.
“The Bride of Frankenstein" is a
sequel to the "horror” film of a few
years ago, “Frankenstein.” Boris
Karloff is in the leading role.
The film story tells of the creat
ing by a half-mad scientist of a
"monster” in human form, built up
from parts of dead bodies. The gro
tesque creature embarks on a wild
career of murderous destruction,
with the crimes mainly prompted by
bewilderment and fear.
In “The Bride of Frankenstein”
he learns to talk, which is said to
heighten the intrigue of the produc
tion. and becomes part of a vast ex
citement when a woman is similarly
created at the height of a wild
storm. Then is said to follow a
crashing climax which leaves the
audience well-nigh breathless.
GEORGE O'BRIEN STARS IN
"WHEN A MAN'S A MAN.”
"When a Man's a Man" will be
at the Oasis Theatre on Sunday and
Monday with George O’Brien in the
starring role.
This picture is based on the well-
known Harold Bell Wright story
which has captivated more than six
teen million lovers of thrilling fic
tion.
An unforgettable portrayal of the
hero, who changes from an Eastern
"softie” to a rugged Western man
of action, is given by George O’Brien
supported by a splendid cast made
up of Dorothy Wilson, Paul Kelly,
Harry Woods. Jimmie Butler and
others.
Thrill-seekers should not miss this
masterpiece of tense action. A su
perb romance is acted out amid set
tings of superb loveliness.
A departure from the usual Wes
tern picture, this film affords a vi
vid picture of the Western country,
the magnificent distances of Utah,
miles of purple and green sage with
dry lakes of alkali and sparkling
white granite, tufted here and there
with rabbit grass.

LOY AND GRANT STUNNING
PAIR IN AIR THRILLER.
For those who like their drama
replete with thrills, excitement and
new ideas, "Wings in the Dark,”
which will be at the Oasis theatre
Friday and Saturday, should be
marked on their list as one they can
not afford to miss.
A love story laid against the time
ly and topical plot of a pilot who
dares death in the perfection of
"blind-flying," it stars beautiful
Myrna Loy and Cary Grant as a pair
of flying daredevils. And although
it is impossible to gain-say the ex
cellence of Miss Loy’s recent pic
tures, she seems to excel even the
best of her past performances in her
breezy, down-to-earth and sympa
thetic role in "Wings in the Dark.”
Cary Grant’s characterization is
equally gratifying. Hfs very diffi
cult role is superbly handled, and he
gives a powerful performance which CLEVER AND ENTERTAINING
