Council Takes Action.

At the mid-monthly session of the
city council on Mosday evening, ac-
tion was taken regarding the condi-
tion of certain walks about the town.
In several instances where new walks
have been built on the established
grade, a Jump off" has been Great
ed where they join up with the old
walks. City marshal Frye has been
intructed to tell the property owners
to line up their walks in any manner
that will alleviate the bad breaks.
Several instances have come to the
attention of the council wherein ped
estrains have received injuries thru
falls on account of the condition of
the side walks.

E. NJ SHUT WILL ENTER SPRING
PRIMARIES IN RACE FOR SHERIFF

Constant rumor for the past few
weeks that E. M. Shut would be a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for sheriff at the primary cleo
ton next May, was put to rest this
week when Mr.. Shut announced that
he would enter the race.
To a Gazette-Times representative
this week Mr.. Shut said:
while the primaries are still sew
eral months off as yet, numerous men
and women voters from all parts of
the county and representing all the
political parties, have been strongly
insisting that l allow my name to be
used in the coming election for sher-
iff. Since. this demand has become
so strong, without word Of solicit
tation on my part, l believe 1t to be a
genuine case of the Office seeking the
man, and I deem it but fair and just
to these loyal friends to now state
that l will be a candidate for that

next spring.
81 have been a resident of Morrow
county for the past twenty years, and
during all that time have been an un-
wavering advocate of law enforce
ment and the building of environ
ments. that would make for a better
and higher standard of citizenship.
These principles have all been adop-
ted by the people, and 1t is real graf
flying to me to find that most of those
who at one time opposed some of
these proposed measures are now
their most enthusiastic advocates,
and are among my present friends
and supporters.
My long previous experience in
the office. coupled with desire to
merit and retain the confidence and
esteem of my fellow citizens, prompts
the assertion that If the good people
of this county see fit to elect me as
their next sheriff will give them no
cause for regret"

Christmas eve, by the Sunday Schools
Of Heppner.
One hundred and fifty-seven actors

RED CROSS DRIVE
UNDER HEADWAY

Workers for the membership drive
of the American Red Cross through
out Oregon, especially in western Ore
gon, have faced almost unpreceden-
ted conditions.
This has been responsible for the
somewhat poor showing made in ear
ly totals.
In order to show their sympathy
with the actual canvassers, every
member Of the headquarters staff in
Portland laid off half a day and per-
sonally took charge of precinct work,
doing the actual "door-bell pulling"
themselves.
Among those who actually got
soaked to the skin, so they could ex-
perience at first hand the lot of the
workers were C. c. Chapman, state
chairman; Henry E. Reed, state man
ager; Rufus C. Holman, manager OF
the city campaign; 4. C. Black, ad-
vertising manager; Orton E. Good
win manager of the press bureau aud
Victor J. McCone, manager of the
speakers bureau.
The entire staff, although they
have neglected private business en-
tirely for the campaign, resolved they
could get wet into the bargain.
Their action put renewed impetus
into the Portland campaign.
Despite the inclement weather,
campaign headquarters at Portland
reports that really emarkable
showing has been made and that with
the final days of the campaign yet to
come they are determined that Ore
gon shall have her 100000 members
Of the Red Cross.
III you don't say yes, and produce
your dollar, when the solicitor for the
Red Cross calls, there are only two
other answers you can give as an ex-
cuse," said C. C. Chapman, state
chairman, "One is I am German or
a pro-German,' and the other is I am
a destitute
"All those who refuse are in one
class or the other and county and
city managers should keep record
at headquarters of ell such refusals,
so that such citizens may be classified.
with rain pouring into the tren-
ches and in Oregon our heroic SOL
diers and Red Cross workers are fac
ing the disagreeable side of war.
Women canvassers have been out
in the storm all over this state, dren-
ched through, but bravely going from
door to door, soliciting Red Cross
memberships. There is no more Sc
we're test of real courage than door
bell work in the rain. ::
"Yet the Red Cross message must
be carried into every home. Such is
the duty the nation requires Of us,
and to the call to duty our Red Cross
workers are nobly responding.

these insults to workers were almost
entirely from wealthy homes.

TRUTH MUST PRE-.
VAIL IN ANSWERS

Every draft registrant must ans
wer his QUESTIONABLE truthfully and
without evasion. Untrue answers or
concealment of information required
by the Government will result in pro-
secution.
On the other hand, draft regis
trants may rest assured that the per-
sonal questions they are obliged to
answer in regard to their domestic
and business conditions will be seen
only by the proper authorities. Men,
bers Of local and district boards are
forbidden under severe penalty from
divulging such information.
The Government requires the most
personal and detailed answers in the
QUESTIONABLE because Of the infor-
nation thus given, supported where
necessary by the affidavits Of other
persons. will be based the classifica-
tion Of each registrant.
As a deferred classification is equi-
valent to a temporary exemption or
discharge, 1t must be plain to every
registrant why false answers, design
ed to place the registrant in one OF
the deferred classes, will be so strict
ly dealt with.
In this connection an official warn
ing that should be carefully noted by
every draft registrant has Just been
issued by Clarence L. Reames, United
States Attorney for Oregon. This
warning says:
"In connection with the filling out
of the Questionnaires, word has been
received from the Attorney General
to prosecute vigorously those who
make statements therein that are
false.
"In view Of the fact that false
statements in support of claims for
exemption or deferred classification
constitute grave menace to the fair
and equitable enforcement of con-
scription, we have been requested to
give wide publicity to the fact that
such material false statements, even
when the facts have been distorted
only slightly, will be promptly prose-
cuted.
Attention should be further direc-
ted to the fact that all exemptions
and discharges made prior to noon on
December Is will thereafter have no
validity, and to the fact that every
person who has registered and is not
yet in military service is required to
fill out QUESTIONABLE.
"This must be sworn to and is in
tended as complete inventory of his
domestic condition and industrial and
educational qualifications.
"The punishment provided for
those who fail to return the Question
naire, or to appear for physical exam
ination, or to report change Of status,
permits Imprisonment for one year" ="
Even though registrant 1, per-
fectly sure he understands all that is
required in the QUESTIONABLE, for
his own protection he should consult
one Of the members of the various
legal advisory boards for advice.
This legal advice is free.
Questionnaires ere now being sent
out by Local Boards at the rate Of five
per cent each dav, except Sundays
and legal holidays, until all are sent

H|SCHOOLPLAY SUCCESS

The play given by the high school
last Friday evening at the auditor
ium was one of the most satisfactory
that the school has given. The young
folks rose to the occasion nicely and
after listening to what they had to
say 1t almost makes one glad he is a
bachelor. About one third of the
people of Heppner were present,
which was encouraging and appre-
ciated. Some patrons liked the play
so we'll that they asked that it might
be repeated for the benefit of the Red
Cross, but there will be many other
programs, both religious and secular,
given in the near future and we do
not think 1t wise to repeat this per-
formance. With the permission of
the board of education, however, the
schools will be glad to give an enter
tainment for the benefit of the Red
Cross later in the year.
The public will readily perceive
that it takes the entire moral support
of the school and patrons to produce.
play like the one given last week,
however, the credit for training the
players belongs to Mrs. Wedding, tea
cher Of English in the high school,
and we cheerfully and publicly grant
her the same.

ORAN CHILD dies
OF LYE POISONING
