A t Legion Social Inspirational talks on the work of the American Legion and Auxiliary were made by state and district officers at the joint meetng of the Ontario and Nyssa Post here Monday evening, but none were more stirring than the plea of Mrs. Tom Lowe, gold star mother, for world peace.

Scott, chairman of the Ore gon highway commission, said Monday that improvement and maintenance of highways are involved in automobile license cuts, and advised a cut of not more than one-third so that curtailed construction and proper maintenance might be carried on. Meagre revenues, Scott said, would stop work, curtail em ployment, hazard property taxpayers with highway debt obligations and ex pose the state to demands for further bond issues to match federal aid. Mr. Scott is very much opposed to | more than one-third reduction in the | license fee. j Scott emphasized the matter of fixed charges which confront the highway commission each year.

BETTS TAKES MOVIE SHOTS OF HEAVY WORK AT DAM, DEDI CATION CELEBRATION AND TUN NEL CONSTRUCTION. The big bucket which placed concrete and steel in Owyhee dam has been still ed five months, the great cableway lies in the bottom of the river and the head tower is no more. A few months ago, humans marveled at the precision of machinery. They saw one man guide controls in a cabin dizzily suspended from the cableway, and direct all oper ations of the gigantic task. Those spec tacular scenes were scenes of yesterday. Today the dam stands completed, the highest in the world, but the thrilling scenes of construction have not passed entirely into the background of oblivion. For the purpose of recording them, C. A. Betts, member of the Owyhee engin eering force, purchased a midget movie eamera and has two reels of Owyhee pictures which are attracting mu.-h local interest. The movies include the dedication ceremonies in which Ray Lyman Wil bur, secretary of the interior, and Dr. Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclama tion, took part. They show the arrival of the one and only passenger train at Owyhee dam which brought thousands of people to the dedication. They pic ture the beautiful trees, yards and homes which were built up at the camp by the government engineers who re sided at Owyhee several years. Even dark tunnel pictures, difficult to take in the gloomy heart of the earth, were added to the Owyhee movies by Mr. Betts. At the end of the second reel is depicted some of the later work on the project such as the excavation of the North Canal by the Tertehng company dragline. Mr. Betts has the only movies of Owyhee dam construction. They are small, about four by two feet in size. A light colored blind served as the screen when they were run off Friday night for Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Morgan and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. MeLing at the Betts home in Ontario. Opening the program was a reel which showed Felix teaching a little golf. The movies will be presented at the Ontario Kiwanis club program next week. OWYHEE SCHOOL IS GIVING PLAY FRIDAY Patrons of Owyhee school will present the comedy, “Two Days to Marry,” Friday evening, December 2, at the schoolhouse. The seven characters are Kennetli McDonald, the darkey; Bob Morfitt, a wifeless heir; Rex Walters, a lawyer; Helen Clement, Emily Jane Pink, black as ink; Dorothy Morfitt, widow by choice; Alta Bradley, sweet young thing; Fred Pullen, a millionaire. [Miss Bernice Dunn, Owyhee teacher, is director. Miss Dunn says the comedy is a laugh from start to finish and quite as good as the excellent play which was presented last year by Owyhee school. Admission is 25 and 10 cents. RED CROSS NEEDS CLOTHES FOR TOTS So numerous have been the requests Miss AUeen Trunnell of Wilder was a for clothing and shoes for children.
