Road Improvements Needed
It is a matter of gratification to the county
court that the road improvement program submit
ted to the state highway commission on the oc
casion of that body's visit here in 1943 has been
included in a $12,202,000 postwar improvement
development. When asked what was considered a
"must" list, the court placed the Heppner-Spray
route as first and included the Heppner-Condon
and Lexington-Echo routes as deserving of early
attention. Ofcourse, a word about state assistance
on the Willow creek road was slipped in and this
has been ignored, for the time being, at least.
There is no information relative to the. Shani-ko-Heppner
secondary highway. It is presumed
that it is being projected as a more direct route
from points east, such as Hermiston, Pendleton,
Heppner, to tfie central Oregon territory. The
Wasco-Heppner route evidently is designed as a
short cut for people of Heppner and Condon dis
tricts to The Dalles and Portland.
Largest single appropriation for new construc
tion is awarded to the Prineville-Madras secondary
highway which will join the Ochoco route with
Highway 97 at Madras as well as the new Madras-Mt-
Hood unit which shortens the route from cen
tral Oregon by about 29 miles. This has no parti
cular bearing upon the local situation other than
in the future it will be possible to cut across in
stead of going miles out of our way to get to
points not far removed. It will open up our grand
old state to travel more extensively than in pre
war days and visitors will find that wherever they
go they will find something of interest, for such
is the state of Oregon.
daily paper, read it in full and take it for just
what it is meant. There is a scarcity of paper all
kinds of paper and consider yourself lucky that
so far there has been enough to go around. This
has been accomplished through various conserva
tion measures but with pulp supplies daily grow
ing shorter it is doubtful if heroic measures will
meet the demand.
Keep the paper shortage in mind when you
visit the grocery store. Your grocer haies to admit
that he cannot deliver the pre-war type of service,
yet he is confronted 'with the necessity of soon
asking you to take your packges unwrapped or un
sacked, that is, unless you cooperate with him
now. You can do just that without the slightest in
convenience by not asking that purchases already
covered be wrapped. More and more foods are
coming already packaged and further wrapping
would be folly. Leave the warpping paper and
sacks for the handling of perishable foods and
such items as cannot be conveniently handled oth
erwise. Do this and you will be making a direct
contribution to the war effort.

Mussolini and Hitler spoke in their heydey
and the earth trembled, but there was never a
shiver when both of them passed out of the pic
ture. They created mighty power which they used
own people at the mercy of an enemy they sought
to destroy weaker nations and in the end left their
to crush. They were enemies to civilization and
the most flagrant examples of the folly of a
people or a nation relying upon the leadership of
one man or one particular set of men.
