THE SCHOOL FAIR.
How about that school fair for Mor
row county this fall? The time has
arrived when something of a definite
nature should be done if the plaua of
the Boost Club Are to be realized.
Nothing haa been heard of recently
that would indioate any life or inter
est in the matter and it would be well
to find oat early if anything is to be
done or if this project is to be dropped
by the wayside as other things have
gone before.
It will b) impossible to conduct
such a fair before the oponiug of the
state fair as that takes plaoe from
September 2 to 7, but for a beginning
of that which may grow into a real
ilve county fai in a few years a
school fair should be held this fall
at a time when children from all parts
of the county could be present with
their exhibits. Owing to the earlier
schedule of the fairs in which Mor
row county is directly concerned, it
will be hard to find a date for a local
fair previous to any oT the larger ones.
This leaves the question open as a
matter of local interest but it is of
such importance that something should
be done right away.
Last spring the Boost Club took up
the matter of baving a school fair in
Heppner this fall and went so far as
to make up a list of prizes. The
club agreed to raise the amount nec
essary to defray the expense that might
accrue in conducting the fair and
volunteered other material assistance.
Aj tar as can be learued the Iioost
Olub has not burned much of the mid
night oil on the subject since. Local
business men will be williDg to aid
in the matter if they have the assur
ance that something worth while will
be done, but if the fair is to be left
to look after itself they will not feci
much inclined to assist. Some good,
live hustling on the part of the club
would awaken an interest in this mat
ter and bring about an event that
would be of genuine bcuefit to the
coantv.
This is a very busy season in Mor
row county and so far our oeople have
had no time for anything bat looking
after tneir crops. We all rejoice in
the fact that everybody is busy and
hope that this condition may forever
prevail, Out this does not excuse us
from taking an interest in other
things. It Bhould be an incentive for
doing greater and better things. If
the crops are good this year, why
not strive to make them better next
year. The uOys and iii'ls of today
are the men and women of tomorrow.
The knowledge they gather today
will be passed on to their children of
ihe tomorrow. If conditions ere to
improve as time goes on tne advan
tiges and priveleges of the children
of the present 8ge must be extended
and broadened- It cost9 but little
more to give them the best and in the
long run the best is the chfaoest.
For the past several years Morrow
coountv has been placing an exhibit
in the Morrow-Umatilla fair at Ppr
dleton. wh?re thousands of outside
people have had the privelege of
looking them ovei , but the number
of Morrow countv people who have
seen these exhibits each year is coui
parativelv small. Does this not bring
forth some argument in favor of
a local fair? Should not the people
here have the opportunity of. seeing
what can be raised at home? A
Letter understanding of local condi
tions is needed by the people them
selves before they can successfully ad
vertise the county on the outside. A
good way to start this move is to
encourage the school children in tak
ing up the industrial side of their
education and the. school fair is the
moat practical incentive to be offered.
It will be a pleasure to record the
fact next week that the fair is a go.
The Boost Club will find this kind
of work tp be good healthy exercise
and when they have worked up the
fair and carried it to a successful
cloe they will find themselves In good
trim for a heavy camuaign of develop
ment work which must be done before
efficient advertising can be accomplished.
LET US WAKE UP.
The erecting of a new school build
ing in Heppner should be the keynote
for bigger and better things in the
town during the next few years. This
ia is a good start In the direction of
general Improvement work and the
citizens of the town uhould not stop
until the whole place haa been
"worked over" to some extent. No
one can deny that the town needs im
proving. A blind man coold tell you
the condition of the walks and some
of the streets, and that which is evi
dent to a blind man must present a
sorry spectacle to one who can see.
It is nut the purpose of the Gazette
Times to criticise the town or kiok
any of its people, hut something has
to be said to Htir things up once in a
while and the newspaper is about as
good a medium for tha't kind of work
as anything we know of. There is
much work to be done in order to
make our town what it should be and
it is about time to come out of our
peaceful slumbers and get busy, A
fw good public minded citizens have
been trying to carry, along the work
of boosting the town for several years
and although they have worked faith
fully they have been unable to accom
plish much fiom the fact that too
mauv of the citizens have stood back
and said "Let George do it." and
George has had more than be could
do. Boosting can not be carried an
by a few, no matter how zealously
they may work. There must be lead
ers to guide the work in hand, but the
leaders can not pull the whole load.
Ihev must have the Bcpport of every
citizen of the town if they will do
anything worth! while. If you like
the plaoe well enough to live here and
make money, why not try to induce
others to come here. If you are iiv
ing here and nothing about the place
suits you, keep your counsel to your
self and quietly pack your grip and
move to gome other more desirable
location. The trouble may not be
with either you or the town in partic
ular but that you are not in harmony
with conditions here. But don't
knock. Knocking never did hnrt any
thing or anybody worse than the
knocker himselfl. It is unhealthy
and anprofitable. Stndy your condi
tion and that of your ton and see if
the appearauco of the town has not
been influenced more or less by your
actions. If the walk in front of
your place is in a bad oonditinn, who
is responsible foi it? If the street
on whioh you live needs improving who
should urge that the work be done?
It will not be the residents of other
streets. The progress of tbfl town is
marked by the progressive spirit of
its citizens, so if your town is not
growing and improving don't blame
anybody but yourself.
Some one has suggested the idea
of having a dramatic club in Hepuner
this winter. This is a good idea.
If you have some good suggestions to
offer in that line, dron in and let us
hear them The O.'-T. is glad to
foster anything that has a tendency
to put a little ginger into the social
life ot the town.
Dont' overlook the school fair.
That means the encouragement of
bterer school life in the county. Bet
ter schools means better citizens and
a better country.
