(Paid Adv.) (From the Bulldog) The junior class of Hermiston high school will make its debut in dramatics December 2, when it pre sents the comedy, ‘‘Girl Shy,” in the high school auditorium. Directed by Miss Dorothy Griffin, the three act farce will portray college life at its best, graduation time. The story centers around two col lege roommates Tom Arsdale and Oke Stimson, who are in the midst of graduation. Tom is deathly afraid of girls, having been hounded all his life by “the home town girl,” Syl via Webster, and more recently by Babs Sanford, rich coed from an other college, who said she could make Tom fall for her if she had to use a crowbar. Oke is the “happy- go-lucky” type and is always razzing Tom about dodging girls. Things begin to happen when Tom receives a telegram from his father saying he is coming up for graduation and will arrive soon, also that he wants to see Tom and Sylvia engaged when Tom graduates. Oke figures out a plan whereby Tom becomes engaged to the new maid who really is Babs Sanford having changed places with Birdie LaVerne, the regular maid, just purposely to see Tom. Tom, although he has never seen Babs before, read ily agrees to the plan in order to get out of marrying Sylvia. Of course. Father Arsdale is furious when he discovers Tom is not en gaged to the girl he “picked out” for him, so he immediately sets out to find a way to mess up the engage ment. PAGE T H R U In the meantime Sylvia has be come interested in the quiet and ex tremely polite school poet, Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, and they are ELECT doing very nicely together. While this is going on and preparations are being made for the big masquer ade ball that night, the scheming Mr. Arsdale has met Chuck Mayo, who “was” the real Birdie LaVerne’s boy friend, and together they devise a plot to get Birdie for Chuck, not knowing that they would capture Babs instead.

J. Edwards of Tillamook, one of four farmers on whose places irrigation result dem onstrations were held by County Agent C. H. Bergstrom during Sep tember. irrigated 40 acres of ladino clover this year, but reports that 20 acres would have carried his 36 cows easily. He plans to increase his herd to 56 cows. KNEW anything better we could do for the country than make good motor cars, we Would do it. By every one doing his best in the job he thinks most useful, this country is going to regain its momentum. W e have tried to do our best in our job. When business was suddenly halted in its recov ery more than a year ago, we determined that we should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume motor car production, then at getting ready for greater motor car values that would help future production. . I F WE Linn Farmers Plan New Crops. ALBANY— Several relatively new crops are expected to make their appearance on Linn county farms this fall, says County Agent F. C. Mullen. Chewings fescue will lead the list, he believes, with crimson clover, tall fescue, sugar beet seed, turnip seed and ladino clover fol lowing in that order. EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE W e began to build 34 million dollars’ worth of new plants and equipment. We felt that if we could not employ all our men building motor cars, we would employ as many as we could building better production facilities. We were told, of course, that this was no time for expansion, that a wiser business policy would be to "hold everything”— which means, stop everything. But no one ever g o t anywhere standing still. Besides, we are not defeatists. W e do not believe this country has seen its best days. We believe this country is yet in the infancy of its growth. W e be lieve that every atom o f faith invested in our Country and our People.will be amply justified by the future. W e believe America is just beginning. Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity. Never yet have we seen adequate Production. But we shall see it! That is the assurance in which we have built. Business is not just coming back. It will have to be brought back. That is now becoming well understood in this country; for that reason 1939 will be a co-operative year. Manufacturers, sellers and buyers will co-operate to bring back the busi ness that is waiting to be brought back. This construction program is almost completed. It has increased activity and payrolls in a number of related industries. It has given us better facil* ities for building better cars and trucks, and eventually our new tractor which is being perfected. THIS MEANS MORE VALUE The current program has provided a new tire plant, which will turn out a part of our tire require ments . . . a new tool and die plant that will help us cut the cost of dies . . . and a steel-press plant that will enable us io make more of our own auto- mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants we already had for producing glass, iron, steel, plastics, and many other things. We don’t supply all our own needs, of course, and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing FOR EYE COMFORT AND SIGHT CONSERVATION Come to Pendleton for Your Optical Needs! Henry an d Edsel Ford, on the occasion o f the n th anniversary o f the founding o f the Ford Motor Company, June ¡6, tg jS that no one’s hand touches but ours. O f nearly everything else we use we build some quantity ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more economical ways of doing it. The experience and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our suppliers, and with other industries. W e take no profit on anything we make for ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation, from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. The only profit is on the finished result — the car or truck as it comes off the line. Some years, there is no profit for us. But we see to it that our customers always profit. A basic article of our business creed is that no sale is economically constructive unless it profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller. Our new plants have helped us build more value into all our cars for 1939. That means more profit on the purchase to the purchaser. We have not cut quality to reduce costs. W e simply will not build anything inferior. NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT While we were putting up new plants to produce cars, we constructed new equipment to test them. The first weather tunnel of its kind ever built for automobile research went into operation at our laboratories this year. It makes any kind of weather to order. The weather it delivers every day would take months to find in Nature. Our cars are weather-tested to give you good service in any climate anywhere. In other tests, every part of the car is pun ished unmercifully. Then our engineers tear it down to see if they can find abnormal wear or any sign o f weakness. The money we spend on tests saves you money on repairs. And your family car is safer and more dependable when we put it in your hands. THE NEW CARS We have two new Ford cars for 1939— better cars and better looking— but we also have an entirely new car. It’s called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line between the D e Luxe Ford and the Lincoln- Zephyr. It is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and a new 95-horse power V-type 8-cylinder engine. W e know that our 1939 cars are cars o f good quality. We think they’re fine values in their price classes. With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the whole Ford organization is geared to go forward. • FORD • • MOTOR COMPANY, Dearborn, Michigsa Eyes Examined by Modern Methods.
