GOOD OLD MORROW DOES IT
AGAIN
You just can't keep a good county
down any more than you can keep a
good man down. Morrow county citi
zens, appreciating the prosperity they
have enjoyed the past few seasons, are
investing regularly and heavily in war
"E" bonds, as shown in a report re
ceived this week by P. W. Mahoney,
"E" bond chairmen for the county. Up
to March 15 this county was the only
one in the state passing the 100 percent
mark. This is rather remarkable in
view of the fact that March 15 repre
sents in the minds of most of the popu
lace the date when Uncle Sam steps in
and takes, all the spare change.
It is easy to believe that our citizens
are enjoying the prosperity and that
they wish to continue enjoying it and
the best way to accomplish that blissr
ful state is by purchasing bonds so that
our armed forces, will have the muni
tions necessary to vrin the war and
with it a guarantee that aggressor na
tions can not again threaten to destroy
our way of life.
Perhaps some other county may top
Morrow county by the end of the
month, but so far good old Morrow is
out in the lead with a wide margin.
o
DISTURBING BUT NOT
ALARMING
Heppner is no different to countless
other towns throughout the country
with regard, to closing of business
houses. In such strenuous times as
these we are now experiencing it is in
evitable that some lines will go out of
businss for the duration. It is disturb
ing, but so far not alarming. Virtually
every line of business represented here
in recent years is still operating. There
have been closures of certain stores
but the lines they carried are still sold
here. Four of the six groceries are
still in operation; one hardlware store
has retired from the field, leaving the
town amply served by two stores of
that type. Eating places have weath
ered the storm so iar and there is no
indication that rationing will curtail
them too severely. Drug stores, gar
ages, service stations, dry goods stores,
shoe stores, bakery and numerous oth
er places of business are carrying on,
and while none may be making a lot
of money due to wartime conditions,
there is no apparent reason why they
should close their doors so long as they
can command enough help to take care
of the business.
Heppner's, trade territory has been
expanding in recent years and further
expansion is possible. Much depends up
on the town's ability to hold its own
during the war, and so far it has been
doing a good job.
o
A NEIGHBORLY SPIRIT
On the opposite page our readers
will find an advertisement from the
Kinzua Pine Mills company. It is a re
sponse to a similar advertisement ap
pearing on the same page in the issue
of March 11, when business houses of
Heppner complimented the workers of
Camp Wetmore (Wineland) on the
Splendid work they are doing in get
ting timber out of the mountains for
the big mill at Kinzua to convert into,
much-needed lumber for wartime use.
We believe the proper fostering of
friendship between the town and the
camp will result in mutual benefits to
both. For the present at least, Heppner
is the most accessible point for trading
and recreation and what facilities we
have should be and are placed at the
disposal of the people who are playing
a vital part in the war effort.
Camp Wetmore is a busy camp and
a general visitation there may not be
advisable, yet that is the easiest and
surest way of getting a clear picture
of what is going on in the Blue moun
tains to the : south of Heppner. The
rugged woodsmen put a lot of enthusi
asm into their work and . when they
come out of the snow for a "pause that
refreshes" they may put considerable
enthusiasm into their play, but by and
large they are big hearted fellows who
would give their last dime to a pal in
distress. They have a big job to do and
are doing it well.
o
IT SHOULD GO OVER
At this writing there are no figures
available on the current campaign for
the American Red Cross war fund. It
has been estimated that the quota has
been nearly accomplished and that by
the end of the drive Morrow county
will have exceeded the $2100 by a com
fortable margin. If this is the case
there is no need for making a last min
ute appeal; but just to make sure it
wouldn't be a bad idea to add a little
more to your subscription. If the mon
ey isn't used immediately there will be
a call for more funds ere long. The Red
Cross is carrying on over a large part
of the globe. If its work is to continue
it will require substantial backing.
IT HAS POSSIBILITIES
Numerous angles of the grain alco
hol manufacturing plant to be built
here were presented and discussed by
officials of Grain Products, Inc., Sun
day afternoon. Features which had
created doubt in the minds of some
interested persons were explained sat
isfactorily and considerable new sup
port has resulted.
Aside from the manufacture of al
cohol, which in itself is" a profitable
enterprise, especially since the govern
ment is the customer, most interest was
displayed in the food value of the re
fuse or mash after the alcohol is remov
ed. This mash contains all of the pro
tein content and is an excellent stock
food when mixed with other, grains. A
nice feature about this is that the mash
can be delivered to the stockmen at a
reasonable price and at the same time
net a nice profit1 to the manufacturer.
It likewise is a &ood poultry food.
This gives rise to the suggestion that
there is a possibility for developing
other enterprises in connection with
the alcohol plant when it once is firm
ly established. It was stated at the
meeting that the Heppner Lumber
company is interested in the manufac
ture of plastics as a method of utiliz
ing sawdust and other waste materials.
It appears that Gain. Products,, Inc.,
will have a good proposition as soon as
regular production gets underway and
the grain men backing it are showing a
commendable spirit in putting it over.
