Chevrolets to Be
On Display Soon
C. L. Hodge, Chevrolet dealer at
Heppner returned from Portland
Wednesday where he attended a
preview of the new 1945 Chevrolet
at the company's zone head
quarters. He was reluctant to discuss the
mechanical and style features of
the new car but by his eager atti-j
tude it was apparent that he ex
pected the formal announcement
and public showing of the car to be
at an early date.
Following the same policy as in
former years, the new Chevrolet
will be on display simultaneously
in dealers' showrooms throughout
the country. Radio and local news
paper announcements will be made,
telling when prospective customers
may see the new car for the first
time. These announcements are ex
pected to be good news to motor
ists and to dealers alike.
Throughout the war period, car
owners have been forced to get
along with their old automobiles.
At the same time dealers have ex
pended every effort to service these
cars, and to keep them rolling for
the duration.
Mr. Hodge stressed car care, with
the warning that motorists should
not expect the 1945 Chevrolet "to be
available in great quantities imme
diately. The supply .to dealers will
increase as production in the Chev
rolet plants permits.
John Fuiten has recently been
discharged from service and has
joined his family here. Johnny has

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Whereas it has pleased the Al
mighty God, the supreme ruler of
the universe, to again visit our
lodge and remove the name of our
sister, Ruth McMillan, from the
roll of membership and take our
sister from our midst to her eternal
home and,

There ought to be

Every now and then, when I
run out of news for the Clarion,
I print Items about what hap
pened Fifty Years Ago In Our
Town. May be a lazy man's way
of filling space, but it often
makes mighty interesting read
ing. Seems like human nature Is
always repeating itself. Same old
prejudices, bickerings, and mis
takes. Here's an 1895 politician
trying to restrict free speech . . .
a demagogue crying out against
women's rights ... a local com
mittee raising the bugaboo of
Prohibition.
Same old cry down through
the years: "There ought to be a
law!" Same old desire of one
group to force its opinions on
another.
From where I sit, It's not more
laws we need nor more restric
tions of our right to think, and
choose, and live as we see fit.
But more tolerance and under.
standing more "live-and-let-

Whereas, while we bow in rever
ent submission to the will of Him
who doeth all things well, yet we
do not the less deplore the loss of
our sister.
To the sorrowful husband and
and family the membert of Holly
Rebekah lodge No. 139 extend their
deepest sympathy in this their hour
of grief.
Be it resolved that a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the lodge, a copy be
sent to the family and a copy gi
