THE MARCH OF TIME: America's
Food Crisis
A topic of inevitable interest to
everyone.
Editor's Note The following ar
ticle was received the first of the
week from H. L. Keyte, old time
printer who helped assemble the
plant and put out the first issue
of the Heppner Gazette. He might
have written at greater length, but
the fish are biting in the Rogue
and he felt the urge to run down
and see if he couldn't catch a sal
mon. We are grateful to hun for
his contribution and trust he will
write again when some event of
those early days comes to mind.
The moving spirit that caused
the birth of the Heppner Gazette
in the spring of 1883 was one J.
H. Stine. He blew in from Weiser,
Idaho, where he had just launched
a weekly herald of the news in
that section. If he had started any
before that at Weiser I never heard,
but I know of two he started since
one at Independence and one
down here at Grants Pass, the
Courier.
His mode of operation was to get
the merchants of the town to put
up the cost of the plant and he
.reimbursed through advertising
patronage. But after getting a paper
started it seemed necessary for him
to sell his interest in it in order to
MAKE ROUTINE VISIT
Mr. Cherry, representing Her
man Sites, district manager of the
office of defense transportation,
and Frederick F. Janney, district
organization officer of Oregon with
offices in Portland, were in Hepp

to their respective duties. They
checked up with the local rationing
board as part of their regular work.

pect "Billy" Morrow, of the merchan
dising firm of Morrow & Son,
brought J. W. Redington back with
him from one of his trips to Port
land and assisted him in taking
over Stine's interest and the whole
works by assuming the debts of the
plant.
At that time there were four
large general merchandise stores in
Heppner, namely: J. L. Morrow &
Son, Heppner & Blackman, Dave
Herren and John Madddx, the lat
ter closing out shortly after; W. J.
Leezer's hardware store; two drug
stores, owned by Cass Mallory and
O. H. Hallock; two hotels, Minor's
and Hinton's three saloons, two liv
ery stables, two blacksmith shops,
two barber shops, and Natter's brew
ery. The Gazette was in a small
building on the corner of the Nat
ter property. This just about com
prised the business section of Hepp
ner at that time.
Yes, that was 60 years ago. I won
der how Heppner would look to me
now. I would like to see.
Kindest regards to any old friends
that may still be there.

RETURN TO PORTLAND
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hottman and
children returned to Portland Mon
day after spending several days
here visiting relatives. Hottman, a
defense worker injured his foot
and came here to recuperate. He
is a nephew of the late Harry
Brown. Mrs. Hottman is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mahon and
a sister of Mrs. Loren Matteson.
The price panel, consisting of
three members and acting in coop
eration with the local rationing
board, is the answer to most prob
lems affecting business operations
in Morrow county, Mrs. Edwin
Dick told the business men's
luncheon forum Monday at the Lu
cas Place.
Mrs. Dick advised business hous
es that notices of OPA changes or
new rulings released by that body
through the newspapers are authen
tic and that they should heed them.
The price panel, comprised of her
self, Mrs. Blaine Isom and Mrs.
Katherine Burchell, frequently ac
cepts the news stories and acts up
on advice contained therein days
before receiving notification from
OPA authorities.
Followig immediately after the
price ceiling clinic held at the
school house Monday forenoon, Mrs.
Dick's talk was timely and filled
with advice. Business men were
urged to take their problems to
the price panel and if they can
hot be solved here they will be sub
mitted to the district office in Port
land with assurance of prompt
reply.
Blaine Isom was chairman and
introduced a proposal that some
thing be done about removing grass
and weeds from the rodeo grounds.
Several proposas were made but
none accepted.
Mrs. O. G. Crawford's name was
drawn for chairman next Monday.
Hefner M.:sic Study club will
not close its season with a concert
this year and in its stead has in
vited the public to participate in
another community sing at 8 p. m.
Tuesday, May 4. The affair will be
held in the parish house.
Press of other duties and a lack
of time to prepare a program com
parable to past years caused the
club to make its decision, and since
the community sings have proved
popular the committee in charge of
the closing meeting favored that
type of entertainment.
A list of songs chosen for the
"sing" has been made up of num
bers from some of the light operas,
incuding "Showboat., "Naughty
Marietta" Roberta", "Desert Song"
and others. There will be other songs
you love to sing, rounding out a
pleasant evening.

Charlie Jenkins writes me from
down at camp:
"Dear Joe: Somethin' mighty
swell happened to me on my last
day's leave. I'm standin' on the
corner, not knowin anybody in
town, when a stranger says
'hello, soldier -how'd you like a
chicken dinner at home with me
and the wife?'
"Well, it turns out they were
the kind of folks who couldn't
do enough to help out soldiers.
They'd invited two other fel
: lows and just as soon as we're
introduced the lady brings us a
glass of beer before dinner.
"We had a fine dinner, talked
till ten . . . Honest, Joe, I'll never
forget their hospitality. Makes
me feci good fighting for people
like that."

hear what kind o' f ellow3 we got ,
In this army of ours, and how
they like to enjoy themselves
when they get a chance to.
