New Owner Plans
Expansion When
War Has Ended
One of the most important deals
of recent months was consummated
Monday when W. C. Rosewall, pro
prietor of the Rosewall garage, took
over the building housing his busi
ness and the Heppner cafe, making
the purchase from Mr. and Mrs, L.
E. Dick, Jr. Decision to sell was
prompted by Mr. Dick's leaving to
enter miitary service.
Built by L. E. Dick Sr. in 1937,
the building was first occupied by
tatives in the county. Later, the
Milson & Bannister, Ford represen
rgency passed into the hands of La
tourelle & Pettyjohn, who ran the
business for a fhort time. In 1939,
W. C. Rosewall joined Emory Gen
try in the Ford agency and took
the building and plant and in May
1941 Rosewall bought his partner's
interest.Since that time he and Mrs.
Rosewall have managed the busi
nes and built it up to a point where
plant expansion is badly needed.
This will be possible when materials
are available for the lot extends
beyond the limits of the present
building and besides Rosewall owns
the property to the Chase street line
except for a lot or two belonging
to Dr. A. D. McMurdo
"We have been here five ' years
and know Heppner is a good busi
ness point," Mr. Rosewall stated.
"Not knowing what the rental sit
uation may be following the war
we thought it a good idea to own
cur own building and are satisfied
we have made a wise move. When
we get ready to - expand we can do
so and that is what we plan to do
as soon as materials are available."

of the Columbia have to offer.
The Mustangs took Condon quite
handily last Friday evening, corn
ing out on the long end of a 33 to
24 score. Ulrich's batting eye was
cccountable for 23 of the points,
which can be considered a fair eve

County Share of
Fourth War Loan
Set at $98,700'
All-out Drive to
Reach Goal Seen
By Committee
Morrow county's share of the na
tion's fourth war loan of $14,000'000
000 has been fixed at $298,700. This
is considerably less than the third
war loan quota but in the minds of
the war finance committee it will
be far more of a task to raise than
the one coming during the fall.
In a meeting called by Co-chairmen,
P. W. Mahoney and B. C.
Pinckney Monday evening it devel
oped that while the total sum to
be raised s less than the third war
loan there is more to be taken up
bv individuals than in that loan.
Tliis isa fact the committtee wish
es to stress upn the public for it
is fxpect.td that many more people
will make purchases this time than
in the past.
By comparison with the third
campaign when the "E" bonds quo
ta was $158,800 the fourth loan
quota is $168,200. F and G series in
the third was $30,200; in the fourth
it is $G2,900. Olher series in the
third, $32,500 fourth $21,(500. The
big change is noticeable in corpor
ation r.llctments. In the third loan it
was $155,300 whereas in the fourth
it has been dropped tc $4G,000. In
dividuals are expecetd to make vp
the difference.
Attention of purchasers is called
to the fact that C bonds are being
offered in denominations of $100,
$500 and $1,000. These bonds may
be applied on payment of taxes
and it is hoped that a good many
investors will take there bonds.
Organization work will be Car
ried on after the same pattern em
ployed in the third campaign. It is
planned to call the workers togeth
er for a sales school and Saturday
afternoon, Jan. 22 has been selected
as the date. This will defer the op
ening of the campaign here but is
expected to shorten the work. Ma
honey and Pinckney will conduct
the school, probably at the city
hall.
Area Placed Under
Fuel Emergency
Residents of this district will have
to acclimate themselves to- colder
temperatures in business houses
and homes tin succeeding months.
According to information received
at the local rationing office, users
of fuel oil will shortly experience
a sharp curtailment of that com
modity regardless of allotments al
ready made.
Heavy withdrawals of Pacific
coast area supplies of fuel oil as
well as gasoline and motor oils for
use of the fighting forces in the
Pacific area makes it necessary to
place further restrictions on civil
ian consumption. Vital industries
dependent upon oil for heat will be
protected but Mr. John Citizen will
just have to do his durndest and be
fatisfird wilh whatever he can get.
IfANLON GOES TO PASCO
E. L. "Bud" Ilanon, lineman for
the Heppner division of the Paci
iic Power & Light company for
fcvtral years, has been transferred
to Pasco and left today for that
point. His family will move there
as soon as living quarters are ob
tained. The new lineman, a Mr.
Robinson, is expec.ed to arrive to
day from Everett, Wash. Robinson
is a former employe of the PP&L
and was one of the "gang" who
threw Ken House in jail at Mos
cow, Ida., the day he was married.
The newcomers will occupy the
Shively residence being vacated by
the Hanlons.
