A Memorial
LIE whose educated eye selected
these very types; whose exper
ienced judgment dictated arrange
ment of their appearance, and whose
caressing touch for so many years
went deftly, surely over this self
same Linotype keyboard to bring
so many messages to Gazette Times
readers . . . this craftsman in future
will ply his trade in the old shop
.only in spirit.
The old line gauge whose figures
now are faint . . . the smoothly -worn
composing and make-up rules that
were his . . . these tools that his
manipulation made into creators of
art, are now inanimate objects. With
snuffing of the life that made them
live, they have become expression
less, voiceless, things only of cold
brass and steel.
Time only can give perspective,
and thus only will be told how well
Spencer Crawford served the Gaz
ette Time's family in his trade. No,
even now his spirit lives in these
same types, in their arrangement
and in the tools he selected to bring
them into being. So, not yet is his
service ended, though respite from
physical exertion has been granted.
Through his works, here as in other
circles of his endeavor, he has con
tributed much that will long endure.
How much, time the perspective
giver will tell.
As time mellows the sorrow of
those who loved him, so will time
clear the vision. Thus through the
ages are those whose special gifts,
unsung at time of giving, made to
stand out in clear relief in the years
that follow.
'It is to the craftsman now, he who
labored tirelessly to give each piece
of work the highest standard of
perfection that time and conditions
permitted, it is to him, now, that we
say farewell and may your rest be
peaceful in the knowledge that no
job was shirked even in troublous
times.

Wettest Quarter
Since '16 Recorded
March came in gentle as a lamb,
reversing the usual form, and went
out in something of a fury, leaving
record of 1.57 inches of rainfall
for the month and helping to estab
lish a record for the second heaviest
quarterly precipitation in 25 years.
Precipitation as recorded by Len L.
Gilliam in Heppner reached 5.63
inches during the first three months
