4 Heppner Gazette Times, May 24, 1945
EDITORIAL . ,
Better Late Than Never
Apologies are futile and explanations are bore
some, but somehow there is a feeling that an ex
planation should be forthcoming for the failure of
the Gazette Times to reach its readers, particular
ly those in the county on schedule this week. It
has been a rule of the office to get the papers out
to the county readers by Friday morning if it call
ed for an all-night session to make the grade. And
the times we have worked all night to vkeep the
rule effective have been too many to recall off
hand. This is being written well past midnight
Thursday so that the linotype operator may get up
early and put it in type. We will get out some time
Friday, no doubt, but not without great sacrifice
of sleep and rest.
Contriuting factors to our dereliction this week
may be summed up in the singular too much
work. Since putting out a 12-page issue last
Thursday, a high schodl annual, the monthly edi
tion of the Hehisch, student newspaper, several
bacccalaureate and commencement programs, be
sides numerous other printing jobs, and then this
week two additional pages to our little paper, in
cluding the school budget, which, by the way, is
no mean job to put up with an overworked tino
type which hasn't had a decent cleaning for
months-. Well, you might get the impression that
the people working the machine and presses are
tired, too, and you won't be misinformed. We are
reminded of Eddie Chinn when his cook was gone
for several weeks and the genial restaurant oper
ator had to don the cap and apron of the chief kit
chen mechanic. One evening when the steaks had
been rolling off the griddle in a steady procession
and there' came a short lull, Eddie heaved a long
sigh and gave off with "Ah me, what a life!"
We want to add our congratulations also to the
members of the Class of '45 who are this week
saying finis to the first stage of their formal ed
ucation. A wonderful time to be graduating from
high school! All the world is an enigma today. It
will be their task to further prepare themselves
to work out these problems; to make this weary
world a decent place in which to work and move
and have our being.
Good luck, Class of 1945. The eyes, the hopes
the aspirations of the universe are upon the young
men and young women of today.

very young Miss Lynn Christine
Miller are both doing nicely.
