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

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.

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.

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.
