WE HAVE DONE IT ONCE, AND
WE WILL DO IT AGAIN!
The words of a current wartime
song ring true in the case of Morrow
county "We did it before, and, we
will do it again." Yes, we have done it
once and the opportunity" presents it
self for us to repeat. We are speaking
of the recent scrap drive in which this
county led the state in per capita
weight, turning in a grand total of
1,194,507 pounds of iron and steel. And
as Morrow county let the state, so did
Oregon lead the nation, and that just
about puts this county at the top of
the heap.
Breaking down the total to more un
derstandable figures, the drive result
ed in the turning in of 275 pounds of
scrap metal for each of the 4337 people
residing in the county. The state com
mittee had asked for an average of 200
pounds per person.
Despite the energy and enterprise
exhibited in bringing in this enormous
amount of old metal, it is estimated
that less, than 50 percent of the coun
ty's supply was weighed in. That
means that not one but probably sev
eral drives will be necessary to clean
up this much needed material, but if
the stuff is. needed all at one time, Mor
row county has demonstrated hcAv it
can be done and will do it again. That's
why the coveted $1,000 bond found its
way into the hands of the local salvage
committee.
o
FEELING THE PINCH
Meatless days appear to have caught
up 'with some of the coast cities, com
ing ahead of the advertised national
set-up. There is lack of elasticity in
these rulings which work a hardship
on the people of one district while leav
ing othes sections of the country in sta
tus quo. Apparently no allowance was
made for certain industrial centers ex
periencing unheralded growth due to
awarding of huge shipbuilding and
other wartime contracts. Consequent
ly, Portland and other western cities
find themselves running short of meat
supplies because of a limited quota.
Those of us not directly employed or
engaged in 'war industries may feel a
little pinched if denied our regular por
tion of meat daily. If we feel that way
about it, what is in the minds of those
upon whom we are depending to build
the machinery, of war whose work
calls for a heavier portion of meat?
Doubtless the shipyard workers will
meet the situation with fortitude, it
being their desire to aid the war effort
'every way possible, but it may turn
out that their work may fall off to a
certain degree if deprived of this
strength-giving food for too long a
period.
Perhaps adoption of a practically
:i) meatless diet by those not engaged in
war industries labor would help the
.situation. If such a suggestion is in
order, we beg the privilege of making
it. There are enough substitutes for
the average family, leaving the bulk
of the beef, pork and mutton consump
tion to war workers and our fighting
forces.. This is but one of the many sac
rifices confronting us and we may as
well begin tightening our belts for the
long pull toward ultimate victory.
o
IT'S A WAR CONDITION
Mailing date for Christmas parcels
to soldiers, overseas with the expecta
tion that they will reach their destina
tion by that ime expired November 2.
From now on, packages mailed for ov
erseas delivery will arrive when they
get there if you understand what we
mean. The postal service,' already ser
iously crippled through the loss of
some 25,000 experienced workers, rail
road and air line facilities heavily
taxed by movements of huge quanti
ties of war materials and personnel,
and extra trucks almost impossible to
obtain, is faced iwith the most gigantic
task in its history the movement of
a deluge of Christmas parcels, cards
and letters while maintaining the reg
ular flow of millions of pieces of mail
daily to and from our armed forces
all over the world.
It ill behooves us to complain about
the mail service or anything else de
pendent upon transportation these
days. We will have to grin and bear it
until our armed forces, come marching
triumphantly home.
; o '
Along with the county's achieve
ments, in bond buying and scrap col
lecting we must not overlook the cham
pionship honors attained by Heppner
high school's football team, the Mus
tangs. Having defeated the better
teams of the district in class "B" com
petition and taking a decisive victory
over one class "A" team, the Mustangs
have set forth in quest of state "B"
championship ' honors. If successful
against Dayton, champion of the
northern Willamette valley "B" circu
it, the Heppner lads may well lay claim
to the state title. Such a feat will be
worthy of more than passing notice on
the part of the home folks.

"The primary function of education
is to relate people to their own envir
onment. If education does not lead a
person to meet with interest and intel
ligence the life about him, what func
tion has it? Education, as I see it, con
cerns itself with the problems and
needs of the people where they live.'"
Dr. A. L. Strand, president of Ore
gon State college.
Mrs. Garrigues Saw
County's Formation
Mrs. Emma Garrigues, whose
passing occurred last week, was di
stinctly a Morrow county pioneer.
Coming here as a young woman,
she witnessed the formation of this
county, when it was carved from
Umatilla county. It was her privi
lege to participate in some of the
early activities of the new govern
mental unit, for, as the wife of a
deputy sheriff she helped care for
the first prisoners brought from the
Umatilla county jail by her hus
band. Born Aug. 30, 1866 in Marysville,
Calif., to James and Melvina Kee
ver Cowins. she accompanied her
parents to New York at a tender
age. The journey was made via boat
to the Isthmus of Panama, where a
portage railway joined the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. She was eight
years of ags when her parents de
cided to return to the Pacific coast,
and once more the little railroad
was employed for transportation
across the isthmus. Shortly after
reaching the coast the family mov
ed toi Dexter, near Eugene, where
they remained two years. In 1879
they started to Walla Walla, travel
ing by emigrant wagon. Arriving
at Wells Springs they suffered a
broken tire. They were told that the
nearest place to a blacksmith shop
was Heppner, so they came here for
repairs. From that time on the Co
wins family has been identified
with this city. '
Here it was that Emma Cowins
met Dillwyn P. Garrigues, to whom
she was married on the 12th of De
cember, 1883. Mr. Garrigues was
engaged in the sawmill business
with his brother, S. P. Garrigues,
operating a plant on upper Willow
creek. The husband passed on about
20 years ago and since that time
Mrs. Garrigues had divided her
time between her children, living
part of the time in Portland. For
the past six years she has made her
ter, Mrs. Joe Snyder,
home in Heppner with her daugh-
Four children survive, including
Mrs. Sada Riggs of Portland, Mrs.
Joe Snyder of Heppner, Ben Garri
gues of Portland and Will Garri
gues of San Diego, Calif. Other re
latives include six grandchildren
and one great grandchild, a broth
er, William Cowins, and a sister,,
Mrs. Frances Cantwell of Heppner.
Funeral services were held Fri
day from the Phelps Funeral Home
chapel, with interment in Heppner
Masonic cemetery.

as possible.
We take this opportunity to ex
press our heartfelt thanks for the
