sanity theme. Make 'er "safe and
sane" needs to be resurrected from
the annals of former days, what with
loosening of restrictions on the use
of fireworks, internally and exter
nally, and the rush on the highways
over the holiday. It is a grand time
to evidence our appreciation of per
sonal liberty secured in the Declar
ation of Independence, but again an
old adage of a former day applies:
"One person's individual liberty
ceases where the next person's in
dividual liberty begins."
Weather disturbances from sun
spots got their periodic play in the
daily press this week. All of which
may have been responsible for the
heat wave this week close on the
heels of the recent showers. Still
there are those who thought of last
winter's spell of 14 below and smiled
comfortably.

Down With the Dust
AS THIS is being written, the
wind is swooping up great clouds
of dust on our street, and we don't
need to tour the town to know that
the same thing is happening on all
other unimproved streets in town.
A week ago, whenever cars got off
Main street or the Oregon-Washington
highway going through town,
they made their way through mud
and puddles of water. A couple of
warm and windy days changed the
complexiou of things entirely. In
fact the rains had hardly ceased be
fore wisps of dust raised from the
fast-drying surface.
We don't like the dust, and we
don't like the splattering through
mud puddles either. And we believe
there are enough other folks of the
same opinion in Heppner to bring
about passage of the bond issue for
street surfacing when it is present
ed to the voters on July 14.
Passage of the issue isn't going to
bankrupt the city. It calls for issu
ance of $7000 to be amortized over a
twelve-year period, with payment
on principal at the rate of $1000 a
year beginning after five years. With
the interest rate expectancy set at
not to exceed 4 per cent, the city
would pay $280 a year for the first
five years, and interest on deferred
balances thereafter for seven years
decreasing each year by $40, for a
total carrying charge of $2520. Total
cost over the twelve years would be
$9250, and the individual taxpayer
would pay an average of $1.25 a year
additional per $1000 valuation for
the improvement over the twelve
year period.
The retirement schedule links in
with the present bond retirement
schedule to avert an abrupt millage
increase in any single year for pay
ment of debt service.
On full analysis of the situation,
taking into consideration that money
already budgeted for street improve
ment can be made to go much far
ther if enough more is made avail
able to complete the job at one time
the bond issue appears to be reason
able, and a small price to pay to get
the city streets out of the mud and
DUST.
Still others bethought themselves
of how nice a cool plunge would be,
if Heppner had a swimming pool.
Some members of the farming fra
ternity enjoyed a picnic at Moro last
Saturday, and others related to that
noble order who were there also will
testify that the farm ladies know
how to put the vit'als together. And
anyone who didn't get to taste that
4-H ham may never know just how
far he came from reaching heaven.
The ham may have come from an
old sow but it made pigs out of a
lot of folks.
And while we think of it, we want
to give those who arranged that pic
nic credit for a revolution. It was the
first event of the kind we ever at
tended where windjamming was
kept down to minimum essentials
from the speakers' platform.
"President Roosevelt has emerged
from his sit-down strike on the
strike situation and has called both
the CIO and AF of L forces to task
for being unreasonable in their de
mands. Though belated, this action
on the part of the president is com
mendable. Nobody gains, and every
body suffers from strikes. They are
merely obstacles in the path of prog
ress and an indictment against a civ
ilized nation for not being able to
iron out its problems in a sane and
reasonable manner.
Which reminds us that next Sun
day is the Fourth of July, the an
niversary of this nation's birth, call
