Heppner's Progress,
Growth Transcend
Depression Average
By ARTHUR R. CRAWFORD
Revisiting Heppner at intervals of
from two to six years over the past
20 as the writer has, opportunity is
afforded to note the progress of this
finest little town on earth that per
haps passes unnoticed and to a de
gree, not fully appreciated by its
constant citizenry. Let it be hoped
that whatever comment may be made
here will not receive the indictment
of over-enthusiasm born of natural
love of native land, or as coming
from one who for two decades has
been closely associated with "super
colossal" activities in our neighbor
ing state on the south.
Probably, for one who has not vis
ited Heppner in the past two years,
the most outstanding and certainly
the most favorable reaction, comes
from the new hard-surfaced streets
and, by the same token, the utter
absence of old "debbil" dust. Per
haps this may be the key to the
whole secret of what makes a spick
and span city. Clean streets. The
people of Heppner and their appar
ently progressive city officials are
to be congratulated on street im
provement. The writer notes .much advance
ment here in a period that extends
over a 10-year period, with each
succeeding visit to the old home
town finding a consistent, steady im
provement, not only in things ma
terial as reflected in a better-built
town, but in the great spirit of a fine
people which has brought about the
improvement in material things.
We return to find that today
Heppner has a state champion band
composed of its sturdy school pupils;
we note that as an adjunct (and
which the writer can so well appre
ciate in comparison with other days)
the school plant has a fine gymna
sium which would reflect credit on
a city many times its size. We re
turn to rediscover that Heppner,
through the Gazette Times, has a
weekly newspaper which, having
won state-wide laurels in the field
of journalism, is still outstanding in
its field and a credit to the fourth
estate as judged by exacting stand
ards. It provides a medium that
could be used to greater extent in
advertising the town's merchandise
and services.
We note that in every line of ac
tivity Heppner is keeping step with
the modern trend. Here the stores
carry and display up-to-the-minute
merchandise, meeting a demand that
comes from a people who are keyed
to the tempo of the times. Such prog
ress, as is evidenced in all commu
nities building soundly for the fu
ture by conserving the profits of
production for home industry first,
calls for an intense application of
the "trade-at-home" principle. Soon
er or later up and coming trade cen
ters realize that a dollar rolling away
from home is a long, long time roll
ing back, and that its spender, for
a meagre immediate advantage at the
best at the time, is loser in the long
run.
In the business section, we note,
new buildings have been erected on
lots long vacant, or where some old
familiar land-mark of other days
has been razed to make way for
modern stream-lined structures. In
other words, Heppner is going ahead
and not back, which is something
that many a rural and even indus
trial community of this country can
not boast in this period of uncertain
economic stress.
But best of all and the thing that
really counts for the old-timer com
ing home is the privilege of meeting
old friends and making new ones;
of doing a little reminiscing and con
sidering something of what the fu
ture holds; and to take stock of the
younger generation of Heppnerites
who in a few brief years will be car
rying on, seeking, and let us hope,
finding the answers to many of the
problems, which we of today are
rather gropingly and ineff icently try
ing to solve.
