Sam E. Van Vactor, Jr., was a
business visitor In the city Tuesday
from hia home In The Dalles. He
was accompanied to the county by
his mother, Mrs. S. E. Van Vactor,
who remained for a visit at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward
Rietmann, near lone. Mr. Van Vac
tor lived in Heppner as a boy, and
it had been many years since he
was last here. In the Interim he
was graduated in law from Univer
sity of Oregon, and now has the
practice established by his late
father in the Wasco county seat.
He reported good progress on the
new seaport at The Dalles with
some 80 pilings already driven.
J. L. Gault, receiver for local
banks, S. K Notson, Frank C. Al
fred and Joa. J. Nys, local attorneys,
motored to Wahluke, Wash., Sun
day on business. Wahluke is near
the Grand Coulee, and the gentle
men enjoyed viewing the country
where great development is expect
ed as a result of the big govern
ment dam construction. They
brought home samples of rock, sim
ilar to pumice, which is highly
moisture resistant and expected to
be of commercial use.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Palmateer
and son Ted were trading in the
city Saturday from the Morgan dis
trict. Mr. Palmateer reported some
trouble recently with blows which
stubbornly resisted attempts to sub
due them. He has started plowing
operations with a new disc plow,
and believes this method, which
leaves the ground rougher on the
surface, will have a good effect in
controlling wind and water erosion.
John Brosnan was in the city on
Tuesday from the Lena district, re
porting considerable new snow from
the equinoxial flurry of the evening
before. He had hard luck with his
lambing, which came when the cold
weather was on, losing a large
number.
Mrs. Marvin R. Wightman re
turned the end of the week from a
visit in Portland. She was accom
panied home by her mother, Mrs.
Humphreys, who was called to the
city by the illnes of her uncle, Mel
Humphreys of Eight Mile.
Willard Tubbs, state policeman,
made Heppner Monday on his beat
of the district. Mr. Tubbs was re
cently transferred to the Arlington
district under Corporal F. A. Mc
Mahon from the Pendleton-La
Grande district.
Among students from Eastern
Oregon Normal school, La Grande,
spending spring vacation week end
with home folks were Lorena Wil
son, Billy Cochell and Billy Schwarz.
Don Drake, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Drake, and Frank Anderson,
son of Mrs. Hilma Anderson, were
among O. S. C. students who spent
spring vaaction with home folks.
Miss Vallis Jones, Eastern Ore
gon Normal school student, visited
during spring vacation at the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. N.
Jones.
Daisy Sharron, weighing 9 pounds
arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs,
Harold Becket in this city last
Thursday afternoon.
Mel Humphreys, pioneer rancher
of the Eight Mile section, is quite
ill at the home of Mrs. Mary Grant
in this city.
Miss Jennie Swendig, student at
Eastern Oregon Normal school,
spent spring vacation with fronds
In this city.
Mr. and Mrs. John Bergstrom
were Eight Mile residents In the
city Tuesday.
Adam Knoblock was In the city
Tuesday from the Boardman pro
ject. Ralph Buti&r was a visitor In the
city yesterday from Willows.
J. W. Stevens of Hardman was
a visitor In the city Monday.
TODAY and
either in Congress or the states, to
say in advance to any newspaper
"You may not print that."
It seems to me that the very roots
of all our liberties are bound up In
this liberty of the press. The first
thing a dictator does is to suppress
or regulate the newspapers. We
will never lose our liberties as
Americans so long as anybody can
set up a printing press and tell the
people the truth about what is go
ing on.
m m m
Radio Rights
I agree with my friend David
Lawrence that radio broadcasting
should be as free as the newspaper
is. As things stand now, there is a
Federal commission in Washington
which has power to say what may
and may not be broadcast I don't
know that that power has ever been
abused, but it ought not to exist.
Radio, like the press, ought to be
permitted to say anything it wants
to say and should be punished, like
the press, if it uses indecent or pro
fane language or utters a libel re
flecting falsely against the charac
ter of any person.
In the long run, truth always pre
vails. Sooner or later those who
try to deceive the people are found
out. In the meantime, I am for let
ting them all talk as long as any
body wants to listen.
Opportunity . . today
One thing that makes me feel pa
triotic is the frequent instances I
encounter of young folks who have
found opportunities to get ahead in
the world and make something of
themselves when all around them
folk were wailing that there were
no opportunities left for the young.
There are greater opportunities
than ever for young people of char
acter, who are willing to work. Six
young friends of my daughter, all
of them under thirty, were at the
house the other night All of them
have had to make their own way In
the world, and all have made good
in spite of these years of depression.
One girl is breeding dogs and mak
ing a good living at it. One young
man is getting along by collecting
and selling metal from discarded
automobiles. Two of the girls start
ed a laundry three years ago, spec
ializing in washing baby clothes.
They run three delivery wagons
now. Another boy and his broth
er have turned their taste for ama
teur photography to account, and
do a good business In photograph
ing business men in their own of
fices. '
Opportunity gone? Not a bit of
it.
This is being worked out by re
planting, killing insects, and forest
stations.
Forests are not only necessary
for building, but they also provide
spots of interest for tourists. Trees
'prevent erosion of the soil, and
store up water for our creeks, riv
ers, and lakes. Creeks, rivers and
lakes furnish energy for water
power which produces electricity.
Fish could not live in the streams
if trees didn't help to furnish a
eteady flow of water.
Pride and interest should be tak
en in our forests as Oregon has a
larger percent of timber than any
other state.
The beauty that greets one when
he is in the forest is unbelievable.
The sparkling streams, the lofty
trees, the snow-capped mountains,
the wild life of the forest entrance
one. It's Nature.
H.H.S.
Attend State Tournament
Mr. and Mrs. Bloom and Mr.
Blankenship attended the state
tournament held in Salem Friday
and Saturday. Sixteen teams were
entered in this tournament, and the
four competing from Eastern Ore
gon were Umapine, Milton, Bend,
and LaGrande. Milton's team made
a very good showing for eastern
Oregon. They defeated Bend the
first night and Oregon City the sec
ond night, but they were finally de
feated by the Portland Franklin
high school. The team making the
most sensational showing of the
sixteen was Bellfountaln, a little
school of about fifty pupils. They
ployed Corvallis, the state cham
pionship team, the closest game and
won third place in the tournament.
Five cups were awarded and three
of these went to Bellfountain.
Mr. Bloom, as president of the
State Athletic association, delivered
a message over the radio between
games Saturday night and again
after the tournament when he pre
sented the speakers who awarded
the cups and picked an all star
team.

and us
At a dinner party in New York
the other evening one of the guests,
a Frenchman, asked me a question
about American history, which I
wa3, fortunately, able to answer.
"I've been in your country two
years now," he said, "and the longer
I stay, the more I am Impressed
with the durability of your Ameri
can institutions. You've been run
ning now for 150 years or so under
a system of government which has
enabled you to become the greatest
people in the world. Over in Europe
we have changed every principle of
government many times. I'm still
a Frenchman, but I like your sys
tem better than my own country's.
"Since Washington became Pres
ident of the United States, France
has had five different kinds of gov
ernment. Our present Republic is
only sixty years old. We throw out
our Cabinet and President every
little while. We think we know a
lot, but one thing we haven't learn
ed and Americans have is how to
govern ourselves."
Somebody I don't know who
once said that self-government is
better than good government." I
think he was right.

enthusiastic, "expecting success and

N Editorial
The student body was entertained
Thursday by Mr. Thomas, repre
senting the State Forestry depart
ment, and Mr. Hlatt, representing
the Federal Forestry department
They showed us the great Import
ance of our national and state for
ests by moving picture scenes of
the states of Oregon and Washing
ton. The following were some'of
the many pictures that were shown:
Crater Luke, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier,
Roguo river, and scenes of the
many spots of beauty In our forests.
One thing that was very well worth
remembering was how to build a
(Ire while out camping.
Do we realize the Importance of
our forests? I am afraid we do
not. We think that we have a large
enough supply of timber to furnish
our noods, but It will not furnish
tho needs of the future generation.

Boys' Sport
The turnouts for the baseball
team have "stuck with it" and
are progressing rapidly. There are
some promising players (we won't
mention their names ask them
and they will tell you about it). The
school has purchased some new
baseball equipment bats, balls, and
a new catcher's mitt.
In addition to baseball Heppner
has a two-man track team. They
expect to go to Condon for the sub
district track meet to be held May
2. If an event is won, they will be
allowed to enter the district meet
at Pendleton.
H.H.S.
Girls' Sports
Plans have been made for a girls'
volley ball team which will proba
bly take part in the Play Day which
is to be held later in the spring.
Unless more girls turn out than
those who have signed up now it
will be impossible to have a team.
Those who have signed up are
Maude Bailey, Irena McFerrin, Bet
ty Doherty, Evelyn Kirk, Irene
Beamer and Marie Barlow.

Every test proves it's more
economical . a . Every
Chevrolet owner knows
it's more economical . .
And every person will
readily understand these
simple A-B-C reasons
why it is more economical
The Chevrolet engine is the most economical automobile
engine produced today, because (1) it is a six-cylinder
engine, and (2) it is a valve-in-head six-cylinder engine.
... Its six cylinders use less gas and oil in fact, use
the least gas and oil because six cylinders are the most
economical combination used in modern automobiles.
... Its valve-in-head design cuts gasoline consumption
still lower because there is less loss of heat through the walls
of the combustion chamber in valve-in-head engines, and
the advanced construction of the Chevrolet engine gives
maximum heat (or power) saving. . . . Most important of
all, Chevrolet's more efficient cooling system, pressure
stream oiling and the greater accessibility of all working
parts result in more dependable operation, over a longer
period of time, with the lowest maintenance costs.
