They even suffer from memory lapses and their sins of omission are glaringly evident in the news columns. This would not necessarily be a serious matter were it not for the fact that such omissions often bring disappointment to those who might have figured in the news. But while others may feel uncomfor table in their disappointment, consider the plight of the person responsible for their unhappiness. When he wakes up and realizes he has left out an important story he feels lower than an unsuc cessful lover. If he were working for another he could look for a good cussing. As it is he has to curse his own stupidity and hard luck. Thus is was that after the Gazette Times was off the press last Thursday evening it was discov ered that nothing had been said about the com mencement exercises for the Class of 1943. It was not purely an oversight. It was a lapse of memory induced by too many long hours at job work, at bucking a cranky linotype and the thousand and one other chores that beset the country editor when he has to be relief operator, machinist, pressman, makeup man and a few other tasks in cluded in getting together the weekly grist of news. Consequently, the fine program, including Arch deacon Blunt's invocation, James Kenny's tenor solo, Dr. Pennington's enlightening address, girls' trio Patty O'Harra, Jean Turner and Dorotha Wil son and the presentations by James Burgess, former superintendent, class by Supt. Corwin, plaque by Coach Lyle Swenson, diplomas by Charles N Jones, the prelude and procession al by Norbert Peavy, was conspicuous by its ab- sence, and we hereby make humble apology. Student and faculty judgment was invoked in making the awards of the honor plaque and the Norton Winnard cup. The young people receiving these awards, Dorotha Wilson the honor plaque and James Barratt the cup, were outstanding students throughout their school careers. They were worthy recipients. The Class of 1943. faced with conditions that perhaps no other class graduating from Heppner high school has faced, goes out into a world torn with strife and bitterness. It will be up to the young people to make the best use of the know ledge they have acquired in establishing them selves. They have shown initiative in meeting prob lems confronting their school life and we have no doubt about their ability to "ride along and make the best of what life offers." In closing it is our de sire to offer congratulations to James Barratt, Wade Bothwell, Kingsley Chapin, Phillip Cohn, Claude Drake, Claudine Drake, Glen Fell, Bette Finch, Helen Fortner, Rosetta Healy, Eunice Hi att, Dee Jones, James Kenny, Colleen Kilkenny, Helen Knowles, Marshall Lovgren, Leon McClin tock, Rita Mclntyre, Hugh McLaughlin, Patricia O'Harra, Eunice Osmin, Josephine Smart, William Snow and Dorotha Wilson. DRIVING PERMITS ESSENTIAL FOR UNDER-AGE YOUTHS Under-age youths, boys between the ages of 1 and 18, who contem plate driving grain trucks, are re minded that the law requires them to obtain driving permits before starting to work. Sheriff John Fuiten stated Wed nesday that sufficient notice is being given .and that failure to obtain permits will mean a delay in getting to work. He urges all boys to make application now and be ready when the job of grain crop handling begins. GOES TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Cora Crawford is resting easy at The Dalles hospital to which she was taken Sunday. Word from the hospital this morning was to the effect that she is showing a slight gain. Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Turner and Mr. and Mrs R. B. Fer guson accompanied her to The Dalles returning late Sunday night GUESTS RETURN HOME Mrs. Raymond Drake Jr., and little daughter Nancy, departed Sunday on their return trip to their home in Glendale, Calif., after a week's visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Drake in Sand Hollow. The visitors came at this time primarily to attend the grad uation of Claude and Claudine but missed connections and arrived in Arlington too late to connect with the Heppner stage so missed the exercises. VISITING FROM PORTLAND Victor Johnson and family are visiting at the home of his mo ther, Mrs. Bertha Johnson. Victoh is in defense work in Portland Their children will remain here 'for the summer. COMING ON VISIT Mrs. Everett Hayes and daughter Mildred of Joesph will arrive in Heppner to day to visit relatives and friends. Mrs. J. O. Turner drove to Pendleton this morning to meet them. -O- Hazard Greater Than Ever Warnings are being sounded by forest officials and rural fire control groups relative to the ex treme hazards confronting forests and grain fields this season. It is pointed out that frequent show ers are deceptive insofar as .fire protection is con cerned. They are temporary at best, "and present an other phase which really increases the danger from fire. Each shower refreshes the grass and gives it ranker growth. After a day or two of dry weather it will burn readily. The heavier grass makes successful fire fighting just that much harder. But it is not the difficulties presented by na ture that are causing all the worries of fire offi cials. There is the matter of manpower shortage to contribute its share to the headache. In a re gion like this where our very existence depends upon range, field and forest, there is strong rea son for giving thought to the protection oMhese resources against the ravages of fire. A measure of protection may be accomplished through exer cising care during the danger period. That, at least, will lessen the responsibility of those in charge of the forests and the rural fire organiza tions. It may be necessary to exclude all people not actually engaged in timber work from the for ests. If that is necessary the least we can do is to not grumble. This is a matter in which all are interested it is not up to the officials alone. You Can Eat Your Points and Have Them, Too!
