Share Your Car
Practice Urged
Upon Motorists
More Riders Per
Car to Influence
Rationing Boards
Autoists who exect to apply for
supplementary rations to enable
them to drive to and from work
should make plans now to share
rides with others needing trans
portation to their jobs. This, in ef
fect, is the substance of conditions
submitted to the local rationing
board, headed' by J. P. Mollohan.
Car sharing has been made an in
egral part of the mileage rationing
program because it is the most ef
fective means of providing essential
transportationa on a minimum , -mountt
of rubber, it is stated.
."To get more than the basic A
ration," Mollohan. stated,", a car
owner must form . a car-sharing ,
club to carry at least three other
persons to and from work, .or prove
that he cannot do so."
Although worker groups are lim
ited in this territory, for the bene
fit of those who may need to form
clubs, the board offers some sug
gestions. Car owners are urged to
get together on some car charing
plan, or with fellow employees at
plant or office. If two or more cars
are to be used in the club, mem
bers may divide up the use of those
cars to suit their convenience.
Supplemental rations will then be
issued each vehicle for mileage to
meet its obligations The club must
be formed before . application
for a supplemental ration is sub
mitted to the board. In fact, sig
natures of all members must ap
pear on the application, and appli
cants must certify that they will
carry through their part in the car
agreement.
Basic books will provide mileage
for 240 miles a month. If the per.
son to whom the ration is issued
intends to use his car for driving
to work, or in connection with his
work, he wll be expected to con
sider 150 miles a month of his ra
tion available for such driving. The
remaining 90 miles a month may
be reserved for such essential fam
ily travel as driving children to
school or sick persons ot the doc
tor, and such errands.
All applicants for a supplemen
tal ration will use the same form,
it is pointed out. The board will
decide whether the ration granted
should be in the form of a B or a
C book. The B book, in addition to
the A book, provides for a maxi
mum of 470 miles of occupational
driving a month. Mileage for more
than 470 miles a month requiree
a C book. But only drivers per
forming services regarded aa es
sential to the Wat effort or the
public welfare will be eligible for
C rations.
Those drivers entitled to refer
re mileage through C rations must
meet the car-sharing requirements,
the same as other applcants for
supplemental rations.
C of C Scheduled to
Meet at Elks Hall
The regular meeting of Heppner
chamber of commerce will be held
Tuesday evening at the Elks hell,
according to Frank W. Turner,
secretary.
Change of date was necessitated
by the election . this past Tuesday
and from the fact that there will
be entertainment in connection
with the meeting:
A group from the Pendleton NYA
school has consented to appear be
fore the club. Just what form of
entertainment the group provides
was not made known and members
are urged to attend the meeting and
find out.

Heppner People on
Alert for Enemies
Heppner is not in the combat
zone but that fact doesn't deter
her cittizsns from being on the
alert for possible enemies in our
midst. That's what Steward Cole,
recent arrival from Joseph, learned
Saturday morning.
Cole arrived in town late Friday
evening and took a room at a ho
tel. He had a restful night and,
awaking before 6, decided to get up
and look the Gazette Times shop
over. He had been given a key to
the shop the night before, so felt
privileged to use it Gaining en
trance in the usual manner, he was
meandering about the shop when
Ralph Beamer happened to be pass
ing. Beamer watched him a few
minutes, decided something out of
order was going on in the town's
news emporium and went in search
of the arm of the law, namely Pat
Mollohan. Together they swooped
down on the G.T office and de
manded admission, which was
granted. They demanded explana
tions from Cole, who was unable
to satisfy them that he was not a
nazi spy or some kind of an enemy.
Finally, in desperation, Cole pro
duced a letter he had received from
the G-T editor asking him to come
here to work. Then, and only then
was he given permission to remain
at his task, which is that of jani
tor and general handy man around
the print shop, a labor he perform
ed for this branch of the Crawford
family when they published the
Joseph Herald years ago.

LOWELL STOCKMAN
Council Decides
To Post Signs at
Railroad Crossings
Heppner's city council in sessioi
Monday evening decided to accede
to a request from the state high
way commission to place stop signs
at all railroad crossings within the
city limits. A similar request
to the county court did not meet
with favorable consideration inas
much as it was deemed too much
of a bill for the county to shoulder
what with main line and branch
line both to consider. Since few
crossings exist within the city lim
its the council decided to assume
the obligation.
Aside from routine business, the
council heard reports from Mayor
J. O. Turner and Councilman L. D.
Tibbies on the recent meeting in
Pendleton conducted by represen
tatives of the League of Oregon
Cities. It was pointed out that
thicugh the efforts of the league
and Heppner's affiliation with it,
insurance rates already have been
52 b ein pue ;uaojtd ox ponpai
percent reduction is expected.
Aside frctm auditing the usual
number of bills, the council granted
a permit to Mrs. R. H. Zinter to
build a garage on her property in
North Heppner.

FEW DAYS IN COUNTY

H club leader in charge of girls'
projects, was a visitor in the coun
ty a few days this week. Appear
ing at schools she stressed the im
portance of club work in learning
to cook, to sew ,to can and gener
and home making. She especially
urges the study and direct applL
cation of better balanced meals in
the interest of better health in our
growing young people, which is a
paramount issue today.

GOP Candidates r
Best Rivals for
Most Positions
Stockman Stages
Upset in Defeating
Veteran Pierce
Results of Tuesday's ballot ting in
elections held in every state of the
Union except Maine, showed the
republican party making substan
tial gains in all section but the tra
ditonally sold south. Numerous re
publican gubernatorial candidates
were successful, among them Thom
as E. Dewey of New York, while
the halls of congress will witness
an exodus of many familiar faces.
Here in Oregon, the national
trend was displayed in the huge
majorities accorded Earl Snell for
governor, Senator Charles McNary,
Robert S. Farrell for secretary oi
state, and the surprisingly heavy
vote registered for Lowell Stock
man in defeating the Veteran Wal
ter M. Pierce for representative in'
congress from the second district.
The sweep continued; in the first.'
third and fourth districts, whert
Congressman Homer D. Angell was
returned by a less impressive ma
jority in district three; Congress
Mott scored heavily over his op
ponent, and Harris .Ellsworth of
Roseburg had many votes to spare
over his opponent, Edward Kelly
of Medford. Thus Oregon. will pre
sent a solid republican elegation in
the senate' and house.
Heading the list of vote getters
is Earl Snell, who at last reports
was leading his opponent, Lew
Wallace, by something like 146,000 '
votes. Senator MicNary was not far
behind with more than 136,000
votes to the good. Stockman ap
pears to have outdistanced Pierce
by more than 9,000 votes, although
at the time of writing complete re
turns were lacking. This was a de
cided upset to the political apple
cart, because Mr. Pierce is one of
the ablest campaigners in the bus
iness of politics and covered the ,
district quite thoroughly in the re
cent campaign.
Henry Peterson will have an op
portunity to sit in on state affairs
at the forthcoming session of the
legislature. At press time he ap
pears to have a comfortable mar
gin over Henry Aiken, Heppner
business man and democratic nom
inee. Giles French of Moro also
was . successful, although tinning
third in the Morrow county voting.
In county offices, Treasurer Leon
Briggs was accorded the highest
vote, followed closely by Tom
Wells, assessor.
The county vote, by unofficial
tabulation, was as follows:
McNary 843; Whitbeck 207.
Pierce 568; Saocktman 517.
Snell 859; Wallace 223.
Farrell 704; Lambert 312.
