Perhaps they have overlooked the major points they should have advertised in their town and per haps they should have welcomed an occasional trip of their customers to nearby towns to prove the points. Perhaps, too, they have been too jealous of each other and through lack of loyalty and cooperation themselves discouraged those qual ities in their customers. Dayton (Wash.) Chronicle Dispatch. When to Swim Official Paper for Morrow Coonty Is a Small Town Really Small? MAN from a small western town recently went to Chicago on his first trip out of the west. Now he was going "to see things and do things." In a fine hotel he listened to the. radio heard Amos and Andy, Jack Benny, Major Bowes same programs he hears at home. Went to the theatre same pictures with the same actors he sees at home, only it cost him more in Chicago. Elaborating on the story, the New West Trade states: "The House of Lords in London is a very long, nar now room. It takes a little time for sound to travel from the front to the rear of that room. It was said on the occasion of a speech from the throne that a man in his home in Whitefish, Montana, heard the words of the king before those in the rear of the House of Lords did." And so it was, found the man in unicago. we went to buy some clothing of the latest style and found no later styles than he had seen in the clothing store at home. He priced the food and found it higher than at home. He found that every where he went, the distance was so great he had to have a taxi. At the end of a few days he went home to rest and really enjoy himself. Any town big enough to have a good school, good churches, swim ming pool, athletic field, newspaper, motion picture theatre, retail outlets for each line of goods and a library has, considering radios in the homes. more than Chicago, New York or London can offer home-loving cit izena r. n , i i i omaii-town mercnants, ana we include editors, are to blame a great deal themselves for the trend that has developed in many small towns toward trading in the next larger iJyf " SsUte,. fa ) n . t ' ' 1 DR.

CCHOOL is out, warmer days have come and the next activity to claim the community will be the swimming tank. Heppner may well be proud of its swimming tank and it is to be hoped that each succeed ing season will see more people making use of it. In this connection it seems timely to pass on to the public some advice on "when to swim" given by the Oregon State Board of Health in a recent bulletin: "A person should be in good gen eral health and free of organic dis ease if he is to engage in swimming." the bulletin states. "He should be free of communicable diseases, in cluding the common cold, because if he swims under such conditions he may endanger both the health, of himself, others with whom he comes in contact, or persons using the same swimming pool. "It is well known that swimming may aggravate chronic respiratory! defects or organic diseases of thel eye, ear, nose, throat and skin. Per sons who have such defects or com mon diseases should avoid swim ming because even perfectly clean water may cause painful irritations, damage, or force infection into the sinuses, middle ears and possibly other parts of the body. "It is generally agreed that one should not swim for an hour or two after eating a meal, and it is a wise precaution to follow this advice." The question of where to swiml is adequately answered by Hepp-I ner's fins pool. It might be well, however, to consider the advice of fered by medical authorities in the board health bulletin.

Meals, Drinks, Lunches Chicken Dinners An Early Spring TT may seem a bit early to start 1 the annual warning about forest fires, yet the very nature of the season causes forest service officials to look toward the warm, dry wea ther with foreboding. The present spring is proving to be one of the wettest in several years. Grass and foliage is rank. When the rainy season is over and this heavy growth begins to dry out the fire danger will manifest itself. That will be about the time that people begin to flock to the timber and it will also be the time when the forest service will be on the alert. It should not be necessary to stage a campaign each year against care lessness in the forested area. The forest service and other agencies have harped on the subject for years and the public should be for est fire conscious. A great many people make it a practice to exer cise reasonable care when camping in the mountains or even when pass ing through and to these there is little need of harping on the sub ject. It is to the great mass of non thinking or just plain careless camp ers and motorists that the appeal is made with the hope that event ually the public as a whole will become conscious of the inestimable value of the forests. Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam Driscoll and son James drove to Portland Friday evening where they spent the week end with the Blaine Carney family. They called on La Verne Van Marter Saturday and report him improving and cheerful. M. L. Case returned Saturday eve ning from Ritter where he spent several days resting and taking the tub baths at the hot springs. He reports that Miles Mulligan, who accompanied him to the springs, is showing some improvement and will remain there for several weeks. Don Peters, who has been em ployed with the local forest office, has been transferred to flood control service in the Walla Walla district.
