And He Wasn't a Heathen fhinee
Pine Grove people have been laugh
ing over an incident at a recent patri
otic 'meeting at the community's
church. One of the ranchers, better
known for his pigs than his piety, had
been inspecting the decorations. With
a fpizzled look he turned to his neigh
bor. during a lull in the nrotrram. and
i pointing out pictures on the wall, said:
"That's Lincoln, and that other pic
' ture over theie is Wilson, but whose is
lis that in the center? I can't place
him.
The man was indicating a copy of a
famous painting of Christ.
Children Present May Baskets
Hundreds of Hood River children I
participated Wednesday night of last j
week in the old custom of presenting ,
I friends with May baskets. Little has-!
kets, filled with posies and bouquets of j
I wild and domestic flowers were inter-1
j changed hy happy youngsters, and
! many of the children gladdened the
hearts of aged friends by pretty little
floral gifts.
It was amusing, on residence streets,
to watch youngsters trying to deliver
May baskets for neighboring young
friends without detection.
