1 should say that between si) and SO

The mayor made it clear that no
one who was officially waving a stave

where reform starts in Bridgeton
these days ever has tried to get away
with that famous old recitation:
"This hurts me worse than it does
you."
He explained that he laid In the

from there to a life of crime.
The mayor said that one lad wore

Why Not An Airplane Land
ing Field For Heppner?
"One question which is receding
'! e attention of nearly every section
of the state today is that of a'rpUno
landing fields." says George Quayle.
secretary of the Oregon State Chani
j ber of Commerce. "For your infor
mation, 1 will state that a route is
now being established from New
York City to San Francisco via Salt
Lake and it is the plan that a branch
from Salt Lake City shall come north
west to Portland and Seattle. This
w ill bring one of the principal land
ing fields at Baker, La Grande, Pen
dleton or Heppner." ,
Heppner needs a landing field.
Such a field Is needed whether Hepp-i
nr is made a station on the trans
continental air route or not. There i
will eventually be a strong local de
mand for such a field. It has been
suggested that this landing field;
might be provided for in the new fair
grounds, as there will be a consider- i
able open space Inside of the half,
mile track. It strikes us as a fine
suggestion and one that might well 1
be given a great deal of considera-'
tion.
