4 Heppner Gazette Times, October 18, 1945 EDITORIAL . . . Plenty of Work Due on Roads While home and business construction may be retarded for many months due to shortage of ma terials, there is enough work due on our highway system to provide jobs for thousands of returning war veterans and war workers. There is scarcely a highway that does not need repairing, and in many instances realigning, and once the state high way commission gives the word hundreds of crews will be put to work. In this particular area there is much need of extensive repair work to primary, secondary and county roads. Unprecedented movement of timber, lumber, grain and livstock during the war years has put a telling strain on the roads, some of which require constant patching. There is the matter of eliminating unnecssary curves, of which the Willow creek highway is a glaring example. Whether this road is considered of enough importance to warrant a bit of realign- ment is something not yet mentioned by the com mission, for it is doubtful if the matter has been referred to that body. Yet in the name of safety and economy of vehicle operation it appears that the Willow creek highway and other secondary . roads should be placed more nearly on primary standards, even to widening them a bit. It is not expected that realignment of the Wil low creek highway, as an example, would be a matter of immediate consideration, even if accept ed by the commission, for the highway program- is pretty well set out and contracts are being let. However, if we want improvement to our local highway system we will have to begin to let our wants known. The highway commission has plenty of demands and it is the purpose of that body to make the funds at hand go around to the best ad vantage, but just the same if we feel we have a good and just reason for seeking further assist ance there is no harm in trying. scheduled for Friday afternoon at Arlington. It is anticipated that a considerable number of high school people and town folk will drive to the river town to back up the Mustangs. joe Mclaughlin s ship in on japanese occupation Joe Charles McLaughlin, seaman 2c, Heppner, served on the light cruiser USS Richmond as she an chored, off Ominato naval base to help in the occupation of north ern Japan.
