necessary to cut school terms to

Have You Appreciated Reading
The
Heppner Gazette Times
WE HOPE YOU HAVE. It has been our endeavor to
keep the paper as readable and interesting as possible through
the past months of trying financial stringency. The condition
of the times has made it impossible to keep the paper up to the
standard to which we would have liked to keep it. The paper
has not reflected all the business and social life of the commu
nity but it has attempted at all times to keep before its read
ers those things of vital local interest and importance which it
was possble for it to present.
In these trying months we have shared with our readers
the necessity of curtailing expenses to a minimum in an at
tempt to keep things going. We have been called upon to ex
tend credit in so many instances that we practically have been
forced from a "pay-in-advance" basis for payment of sub
scriptions. We havabeen gald to comply with the request to
"keep the paper going," althoug to do so has strained our own
credit.
It would be greatly appreciated if those who can now do
so, would take care of their subscription arrearage and make!
their desires known as to receiving the paper in the future. We
have no desire to "force" the paper upon anyone, but contin
ued acceptance can only mean to us recognition by the sub
scriber of his obligation.
