SEVENTH AND RAILROAD SIR LETS
(By Georgia Lynn)
The following notes on the basket
ball f,'Hine at Pendleton were handed in
by a player on the home team :
When we arrived at Pendleton we
were met at the train by autos and
taken for a ride about town. Then
each girl was taken to a private home
where they were treated most cordi
ally. At the game the II. R. girls had
a choice of the baskets, but the Pendle
ton girls played in a way which was
entirely new to us. We were out
classed and handicapped in every way.
The floor was like glass and the Pen
dleton girls had a knack of sliding
along the wall, after the ball, while
we ran square into it, being unable to
! stop. It was only during the last live
minutes of the game that we could
: make much headway, but it was then
too late to make any points. When
time was called the score read Pendle-
, ton 44, Hood River 6. After the game
1 a dance was given lor us in the gym.
We certainly had a great time. After
I dancing came more rides and eats at
! The Delta, one of Pendleton's very at
. tactve ice cream parlors. Saturday
1 morning we were again treated to oth
er rides and lunch at The Delta before
I we boarded the train for home.
At a big assembly held in the audi
I torium Monday afternoon, State Hiolo
i gist Finley gave his lecture on the
! birds, animal and fish of the state in
! the presence 6f the high school pupils
' and all the graders of the three city
: schools. His lecture was illustrated by
! four reels of very fine and interesting
j moving pictures. This is one of the
i most instructive entertainments for all
i ages of pupils that has ever been pre-
sented in the high school, as it threw
I a more humane light upon the preser
' vation of the wild and native animals
i of our state.
I Former Principal Crites was present
i at our assembly yesterday morning.
j After the usual sing developed the real
reason for his presence. He presented I
: the following athletic letters:
I Foot ball letters to Harry Wirrick, '
Floyd Mason. Francis Miller, Frank !
; Vender Ahe, Ray Slavens, Lloyd Blow
ers and Kenneth Hicks. Basket I jUI
letters were given to Lewis Pender
! gast. tFoot ball and basket ball letters
i were given Lewis and Harold 'Bailey,
Bob Henderson and Selman Gassoway.
The girls' letters are not ready
; yet, but it is expected that they will
te presented soon.

FRANKTON.
Miss Lucille Craven, intermediate
teacher at Frankton, was a week end
visitor in-Portland.
The Frankton boys' basket ball team
went to Hood River last Friday to play
a bunch of the boys there. We haven't
been able to get the score, but think
our boys got the worst of it.
The people below the Ruthton hill
are laying in a good supply of grub
fernist the day when those big blasts
are fired. Getting out of there after
that will be - well, imlelinite.

Those who wish to see a highway in
the making should visit the Ruthton
hill now. Then, after it is finished,
you win ne anie to realize what can
be done with money and muscle in
overcoming the rugged work of nature.
Almost anytime after today the
Frankton people are liable to be called
on to buy war savings stamps. Some
one may say that if Uncle Sam can't
win the war without him buying a 25
cent savings stamp he can't win it if
he does. This is true as to one, but
therejare more than KM) million people
in the United States and its posses
sums, and if all bought but one stamp
it would help make the kaiser wish he
hadn't, so buy one or more for every
member of your family and make the
old cuss wish it twice.
Late word received from somewhere

The moving picture lecture given by

was exceedingly interesting and
brought- to mind the beauty and at

economic importance of its conserva-
turn, except in I he case of a few ani
mals, such us the weasel, w ho is a
bloodthirsty little wretch. The hall!
was crowded, many of the people hav
ing to stand during the entire pro-;
gram.
Four reels were shown which includ
ed ways and means for bird conserva-i
tion in the shape of bird houses built '
by chiilren. Bird life in its natural!
habitats was shown. Methods of lis h ;
conservation and hatching should
arouse an interest and desire to enter
into this occupation with as much en
thusiasm as ime docs that of poultry :
raising. The last reel pictured animal -life
freed from all fear of man, due to i
the national reserves set aside by the
government Tor the protection of the
species.
The bird songs by the grade chilren
were appropriate and well given. Op-,
portunity was given to at the end of
the lectue to the men to join the Game i
