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

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.

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.
