Taking first in statewide contests of one kind and another has become a habit with Morrow county and on this occasion the Gazette Times wishes to pass the "orchids" to Phillip Cohn, Heppner high school senior, whose letter to Sec retary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard on boost ing the food supply was adjudged the best out of more than 10,000 submitted in the state and brought to the writer a $100 war bond offered by the state Elks association. Competition was keen and the judges were put to the test to decide upon the best letter. Phillip won because his letter dealt with a project he had carried to a successful conclusion, thereby aiding the food problem, and for the intelligent manner in which he told his story. He has demonstrated that the youth of the land know the score and that when called upon the young people are prepared to do their part. -O- Not Heppner Plant We Hope! Our Washington correspondent, Paul Dunham, states that for the present at least there will be no more industrial alcohol plants built. The govern ment has all the industrial alcohol it needs and distilleries will be permitted to return to the man ufacture of whiskey for a period of 60 days, so the article states. Local officials of the Grain Products, Inc. have received no information from Washington or else where relative to curtailment of alcohol production and they do not feel that this reported order af fects plants under construction of non-critical materials, such as the Heppner plant. Likewise, the local plant is financed by wheat growers of the district, whereas other proposed plants in the area would be largely financed through govern ment agencies and would involve critical material. But since Grain Products Inc. has not been in formed of the government's action, officials of the company are withholding expression of opinion or the making of statements, and in the meantime work is going ahead in preparation for moving the plant from Carver to Heppner. O Pantelleria something to do with removing Mussolini's pants before giving him a sound spanking? Those Terrible Farmers! Politicians long have made agriculture a politi cal football and of late years that football has been kicked about in a ruthless manner. Not until the following article was brought' to our attention did we understand (if we do) just why agriculture, or the people in that industrial group, the farmers, have been and still are such a headache to the big-wigs. The article is taken from the "All of Us" page of the Farm Journal for May and for the benefit of our farmer friends who may not read the mag azine, it is reprinted herewith. "The Washington attitude toward farmers these days is not new, nor unexpected to those familiar with the operation of certain types of minds. Well known now as a newspaper columnist who quite consistently supports the New Deal is Jay Frank lin. Under his full name, John Franklin Carter, Jr., he served from 1934 to 1936 in the office of the then Under-secretary of Agriculture, Rexford G. Tugwell. Two years previously (1932) foe published a book called "What We Are About to Receive." A passage in that book will interest farmers who are puzzled over some of their pre sent treatment. I quote: " 'The farmer has arrogated to himself all virtue and all knowledge; he has voted against progress, against civilization, against the city, against sci ence, against art. He has made and unmade pres idents in the image of Main Street, he has ex hausted our soil as he will exhaust our treasury if given half a chance. He is the great obstacle to human progress, the great threat to political sta bility. Sooner or later, we shall discover ... as England discovred, as Soviet RuRssia discovered . . . that the pagan, the landed proprietor, the ku lak, is simply so much mud on the path of progress and must be swept aside if society is to advance. " 'These are harsh words but they are justified. The American farmer as a political institution is a danger to our civilization . . . " 'Some day, some leader or some party will be compelled to rouse the people against the farmer and crush him as an obstacle to the national wel fare, as he has been crushed in every nation and ae which has experienced his predominance. The fact that it is good politics now to help the farmer is going to make it better politics in the future to injure him. It is a shame that he cannot be chang ed by less drastic methods, but he has taken to pol-' itics, and the problem of Farm Relief will become, Onot how shall we relieve the Farmer, but who will relieve us of the Farmers?' " Blake Leaves Bank to Join Credit Concern From the Sherman County Jour nal it is learned that W. Ray Blake, who has been manager of the Sher man County Branch, First Nation al bank, has resigned to begin work with a credit company. He will have headquarters in Tacoma, he stated. Blake's place will be taken by .Merle Becket, lately manager of the First National branch at Wal lowa. Merle is a native Morrow county boy and was employed with the Heppner branch of the First National prior to moving to Wal lowa several years ago. W. H. Close, who left Heppner last week to assist at the Moro bank, will re main there a few weeks longer be fore moving to Portland.

Numerous used up ration books are re turned to the office unsigned, indicating that both user and gas salesman have been derelict in duty. All gas users are urged to read, the instructions in their stamp books, read them thoroughly, and act accordingly. There is no dodging rationing and one might as well make a thorough job of it, thus relieving some of the administrative burden as well as increasing your good citizenship score.
