They Play Again
CACH year as Heppner's school
band assembles for a new start it
seems the youngsters cannot possibly
be as good this year as they were
before. Members in key spots are
lost through graduation and under
studies seem all to green to be ready
to step into their places. But with
the May and the coming of festival
time, each year the bands sounds as
good as it did before, if, mayhap, not
just a little better for the interven
ing time causes one to forget the
thrills of former years.
Heppner's young bandsters are de
serving of tribute, as is their leader
who has kept the standards high
since the band's inception. There is
a morale in the band that is good
to see an esprit de corps. A pride
of uplifted chins and expanded
chests, the thrill of good music, cor
rectly balanced, stirs the community
with reflected glory as well as plea
surable moments when the band
sounds forth.
These bandsters and their leader
go forth again tomorrow to carry
Heppner's name into competition
with towns of the region, a name
these towns have come to respect
through quality of the Heppner
band's past performances.
Again, the bandsters may not be
rated the highest as compared with
entries of other towns. But they
will give good account of themslves.
And no matter what the judges may
say, they will still remain the pride
and joy of our city it's one best advertisement.

BOTHWELL CREW BUSY
Bruce Bothwell' s nine-man shear
ing crew was shearing at the Har
lan McCurdy ranch this week, and
will be busy in this section until the
latter part of May when they plan
to go to Montana. Mr. Bothwell is
operating the plant and shearing,
himself. The attack of illness re
ported in these columns last week
proved to be a nerve cramp in the!
toot, ana wniie giving nim some
grief for a few hours did not have
a lasting effect, and we are glad
to report that Mr. Bothwell has
been carrying on with his work as
usual.
Should Redeem Wheat
Before Maturity
Wheat growers who plan to re
deem their wheat which is stored
under warehouse lien should ar
range to pay their notes before the
"maturity date, Henry Baker, chair
man of the Morrow County AAA
-committee, announces.
Borrowers may , obtain informa
tion about the maturity date of their
loans and receive assistance in lo
cating their loan papers from their
local lending agency or the county
AAA committee.
If the loan papers are held by the
Commodity Credit .corporation the
borrower may have them sent, if he
wishes, to his local bank for collec
tion by making a written request
to the corporation before the mat
urity date of his loan.
Mr. Baker explaine that the bor
rower must allow enough time for
his remittance to reach the corpor
ation within ten days after the note
matures.
He added that a large percentage
of Morrow county loans had already
been redeemed with growers real
izing from 1 to 5 cents above the
loan value.
In reporting on other phases of
the program the chairman said of
ficial notification of the parity rate
had been received and would be 10
cents a bushel on the average yield
on the number of acres in the 1941
wheat acreage allotment. He went
on to say the first group of appli
cations have been submitted to the
state office for payment and that
other applications would be sent in
for payment as rapidly as they could
be handled.

INSURANCE HEAD VISITS
Clyde Kiddle, state supervisor of
AAA crop insurance, was a Heppner

crops in eastern Oregon coming with
a thick stand similar to those in
Morrow county with prospects of a
bumper yield if all goes well, but
subject to being hurt badly by ad
verse conditions. He was checking
local crop conditions.

SOUR NOTE
but it's a great orchestra nevertheless
Even a great orchestra will make a
musical mistake once in a while. And
once in a while ... out of the thousands
of decent, law-abiding beer retailers in
Oregon . . . you'll come across one or
two who operate disreputable estab
lishments. These "black sheep" retailers con
stitute a tiny minority. Yet they tend
to drag down the good name of beer.
By arousing public indignation, such
undesirable retailers endanger your
right to enjoy good beer. They also en
danger the benefits to the public that
beer has made possible.
For example, in Oregon beer has cre
ated 13,238 new jobs with an annual
payroll of $11,541,550 and paid
$617,020.86 in taxes last year.
The brewing industry wants "black
sheep" retailers eliminated entirely. You
can help us by patronizing only the
reputable, legal places where beer is
sold. And by reporting irregularities to
the duly constituted law enforcement
authorities.
