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. o "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. CARD OF THANKS as possible.
