Heppner Gazette-Times:
The annual picnic and reunion of
the Morrow County folk, took place
in Laurelhurst Park on Saturday,
July 6, 1918. Word having been
passed about that twelve of the Nor
row County boys who were enlisted
for the army and on their way to can
tonments, were to pass through the
city that evening, it was decided to
meet these boys at the train with ma
chimes and entertain them at lunch.
The ladies prepared the tables and
machines were dispatched to the
train but we were disappointed as the
train was late and the boys had to 60
on at once. Lunches were put up and
the girls went down to bid them God
speed.
After lunch, our president, R. F.
Hynd, gave us some warm words OF
greeting, followed by short talks by
several of our good citizens. Mr.
Mahoney told us of his experience as
soldier in the last war and how the
reception given him at departure had
cheered and stayed with him and urg-
ed us to do our best in this respect
for our boys.
Mr.. w. L. Mallory recommended to
us how to make Democracy safe for
the world by being and living as
true men to each other.
N. C. Maris said that Happiness
had departed. War and it's horrors
had made us sober and thoughtful
each shake of the hand, as it were
had a heartache and through the
smile there shines tear. Sorrow
has a deep hold on our souls, but
there rises up undaunted courage and
faith to take the sorrow by the hand
walk by the side Of that other sell
Love and Duty till we reach the good
Reward which shall be the eternal
brotherhood of man."
A solo by Miss Marion Ashley
Keep the Home Fires Burning" with
friends joining in the chorus was
sung. also 1.-THE Long. Long Trail
was sung with much feeling.
Mrs. J. N. Brown talked on "Old
Friends" which made us feel as one
family.

days and how he made trip to I'm
atilla Landing for supplies with his
brother Oscar, and after he had spent
all his money for candy,.a pig hat
eaten all their grub and he had to &c
hungry. We feel as you feel, as ev'
eryone feels, that that pig should
have had a medal for beating Art t(
it in turning trick.
We we're pleased to have Mrs. Mar
garet Emerson and daughter of Yer
mont with us.
Our good friends, Mr.. and Mrs. ]
