An Uphill Job
In previous war loan campaigns this county was
experiencing unprecedented crop yields combined
with good prices which made money free and easy.
Our wheat farmers particularly were "in the mo
ney" and shouldered their part of the responsi
bility without reserve. This is not too say that all
others did not do their share, for they did. The
point is that the grain men were in a favorable
position to invest and invest they did.
Now comes the fifth war loan campaign at a
time when the farmers are not so favorably situ
ated. There is no question but that the yield
throughout the county will be less this year than
last and the grain crop is not a certainty at this
time. It is an awkward period inasmuch as in
vestments the farmers may make in bonds will
not be based on grain they have in the warehoues
but rather what they can spare out of cash reserves
over and above operating expenses.
The current war loan of $356,000 means approx
imately one $100 bond for every man, woman and
child within the county. It would relieve a lot of
headaches for the war finance committee if pur
chases could be made on that basis and voluntar
ily too but since the campaign cannot be hand
led that way it is left to those who can buy much
more than the percapita quota to make up for
others less fortunately situated.
Let us not lose sight of the fact that our young
manhood, and womanhood too, are giving their
lives while we at home are merely asked to LOAN
our money. We expect them to make good account
of themselves at the front. Have they not an equal
right to demand that we do our share in backing
them for everything they need? If we hold to that
thought the task of the inance committee will
not be so difficult.
O-
Probably No More Rodeos
When directors of the Heppner Rodeo associa
tion met Tuesday evening and took action to post
pone the rodeo scheduled for this coming Septem
ber, they probably postponed the show indefinitely
which means that so far as the present association
is concerned the Heppner show is washed up. The
motion made and passed at the meeting stated
that "the Heppner show be postponed." Having
disposed of that piece of business the directors
discussed the possibility of putting on a show else
where in the county, not this year, perhaps, but
when the time is ripe for reviving the show. They
simply do not want to force anything upon Hepp
ner that Heppner does not want but "will be open
for an invitation from some other point. For that
reason the association does not want the impres
sion to prevail that all sides were not considered
before coming to a decision to abandon the local
show. It required a good bit of thinking on the
jrnrt of the directors, as well as some courage to
give up their plans which they did not feel would
hinder the war effort and might in effect build
the morale of ranch and timber workers in the
area.. . ,
It requires cooperation to put on a rodeo or any
other public enterprise and if Heppner doesn't
want to back its own show the association will not
attem.pt to force it upon the town.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Gazette Times is
the complete report on moneys received and ex
pended by the Morrow county committee of the
Blue Mountain Camp and Hospital Council for
the fiscal year June 1, 1943-May 31, 1944. Any
one interested in knowing how funds entrusted to
the committee are handled will find it time well
spent in perusing the report. If, after reading and
studying it, you are not satisfied with the way the
funds are disbursed, don't bother to make your
contribution for continuing the work. On the
other hand, it is our guess that you will not hesi
tate to help make the work a continuing program
unhandicapped for the want of funds. If any
thing, give a little more than you did last year for
the needs are increasing each day the war
continues.

The editor of the West Salem, (111.) Advocate
sizes up a newspaper man in the following brief
paragraph: "What's a newspaperman? Why he's
the man who praises you to the skies when ycu
do something good, covers up for you when you
do something wrong, and gets the first kick in the
pants when he inadvertently leaves your' name
out of a writeup."

Dear Mr. Crawford:
Thanks for the little insertion in
the June 8th edition of your paper
(The Gazette Times) about my
change of address. Also I found
.our mistakes in the print. I here
by challenge you to lower this
'.nark to three in your next issue.
We live about two miles from the
tracks here but we can hear trains
going by all the time. It is amaz
ing how many trains will pass by
in an hour sometimes. I noticed
when I was down town at the de
pot that they had a Mallet on a
passenger train a novelty to me,
down this far anyway. I knew they
put them on up by La Grande but
down heie was sort of a suprise.
I have been thinning pears pret
ty steadily for the past week! It
is a slow, uneventful, tiresome, dis
couraging, hot job. I hope that you
