4 Heppner Gazette Times, May 10, 19 " EDITORIAL. Still Takes Bonds to Buy Bombs With the war in Europe at an end, some of tu may erroneously believe that the necessity for buying war bonds no longer exists. Nothing is far ther from an actual fact, for we still are faced with a determined enemy, an enemy which has suffered heavy losses and has but to look a short distance beyond the horizon to see our forces ap proaching in great strength but still holds to the determination to fight on to the last man. It is evident that Japan will have to be entirely crushed before' peace terms can be imposed. To .accomplish that task requires continuous hammer ing at her supply lines, her factories, and her arm ed forces. This calls for moving up more men and munitions, a constant stream of ships laden to the gunwales with supplies. Replacements are being rushed across the broad Pacific while others ships are bringing wounded and sick men to the mainland. All of which requires money and lots of it. Monday will see the launching of the Mighty 7th War Loan campaign. The exact amount Mor row county people will have to buy to meet the quota has not been revealed, but whatever it is we must meet it. The percentage of E bonds is higher this time, which means that more people will have to participate than ever before. It can not be left to a few big investors. It will be better if each and every individual in the county is rep resented, even if some of the purchases are of the smallest denomination- This is everybody's war and the earlier that fact is realized the better it will be for all concerned. What Lies Ahead? Peace in Europe, or rather cessation of hostil ities, presents new problems which are claiming the attention of the big minds of the nation as well as the little fellow who wonders what it is all about. Until tha chaos which follows war is quiet ed it is difficult to see what lies ahead and who will benefit the most from the misfortunes of war. There is one industry in which this section is concerned that may be termed as on the inside from the present viewpoint. Lumber appears to be the number one commodity at present, due to de mands of war and the outlook for timber pro ducts in the postwar era is not dark by any means. Reconstruction will place demands on the industry that should keep the mills running to capacity for many years unless the country should take a nose dive into another depression, and the politi cal great tell us that this will not happen. If we are safe in looking ahead to several years of intensified construction, would it not be well for our lumbermen to probe the possibilities of more finished products manufactured right at the source of their timber supply? Undoubtedly more and more industries will come to the Paci fic northwest after the war, bringing new popu lation and greater outlets for the products of our mills. Plastics, furniture and many other items could as well be manufactured here as to ship the rough lumber to eastern points for resawing and converting into finished products. Communities so favored with natural timber resources should be studying the possibilities of wood in relation to their future stability and pros perity. Heppner, with a comparatively limited tim ber supply at its back door could well devote time to the development of small industries that would viding income for many families through a pro make this limited supply last forever while pro gram of conservation and judicious handling.
