RETURNS FROM

At a meeting held Tuesday, De­
cember 19, of the Carpenters Lad­
ies Auxiliary 429, it was decided to
assist Santa Claus by turning over
to him a number of toys and gifts
that were left over from the re­
cent bond auction sponsored by
that organization. This will make
it possible for Santa Claus to visit
all the homes in the city this year.
Three new members were initia­
ted during the evening. The high­
light of the evening was the pre­
sentation of a service flag to the
Carpenters Local 933, containing
24 stars. Each star represents a
member of the latter organization
in the armed forces.
Late in the evening, refresh­
ments were enjoyed by all those
present.
The Carpenters Union 933 and
the Auxiliar 429 wish to extend
best wishes of the Yuletide season
to all their friends.
Corp. Garth Clark, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Leo F. Clark of Stanfield,
returned recently from 25 months
spent overseas with the U. S. Ma­
rines. Corp. Clark was granted a
furlough on the rotation plan in­
augurated some months ago by the
war department, affecting boys
who have spent considerable time
overseas. He will report back to
California for re-assignment by
January 5.
Corp. Clark celebrated his
homecoming by marriage, marry­
ing his high school sweetheart.
Miss Neva Hedrick, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Hedrick, also
of Stanfield. Mrs. Clark is em­
ployed in Pendleton at the pres­
ent.
While- overseas, Corp. Clark
served with the communications
department on Bouganville, Guam
and other islands. He was in the
same group as Corp. Dave Hamm,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hamm
of Hermiston. Corp. Hamm was
wounded in the face some months
ago but Corp. Clark states that
Dave is now in fine fettle and that
the scars are hardly noticeable.
Pfc. Guy Clark. Garth’s young­
er brother, is also with the U. S.
Marines and is still stationed
somewhere in the South Pacific.

VISITORS HERE
George R. Harris, Seaman 1/c,
and Staff Sgt. William (Bill) Har­
ris are home to spend the Christ­
mas holiday with their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Harris.
It’s the first time the boys have
met for almost five years. George

from Hunter Field, Georgia, where
he has been stationed since his re­
turn from many months of over-

The elder Mr. Harris has been ill

GRADE OPERETTA
DRAWS CROWDS
One of the largest crowds to
attend a school function in some
time was present Tuesday evening
when the grade school presented
"At the End of the Santa Claus
Trail”, an operetta in five scenes.
The operetta, excellently present­
ed by students of the intermediate
and primary grades, proved inter­
esting as well as entertaining.
Also presented during the even­
ing was the grade school orches­
tra and other specialty numbers.
The large paintings of Christmas
scenes by G. C. Humphreys drew
high praise from the audience. The
scenes were used as back drops
and greatly enhanced the even­
ing’s performance.
