An Obligation to Meet
Americans responded nobly to seven requests
from their government for funds with which to
provide the sinews of war. That response backed
our fighting forces in winning victory for the Al
lied cause, thus preparing the way for what every
right thinking person must pray for a lasting
peace. Now, with the fighting over, we have an
other obligation to meet. We must provide our
government with funds necessary to return this
nation to a peacetime basis and this involves a
staggering sum of money and an incalculable
amount of work.
Most of us should remember the urgent calls
for finances with which to equip and train combat
forces, ship them overseas and maintain them
better than any other armies in this or any other
war. Now that our Fighting Forces have completed
the task oF subduing the enemy the big job is to
get them home and reestablished in civilian life.
That is one job. The care oF hospital cases, oF
which there is an essential 400,000 in continental
United States alone, is a work that cannot be
slighted in the least degree, and aFter release From
the hospitals many of them will have to b! trained
in diFferent types oF work beFore they can become
even partially selF-supporting.
In view of these Factors and so many others
that no attempt is made to list them it is plain to
all of us that we must get on the firing line here
at home and put up every cent we have been
asked for in the Victory Loan bond campaign. It
is an obligation as binding as anything we as in
dividuals may be subject to in the form of notes
or mortgages. Yes, it is even more binding than
that for back of it all is a debt we owe that can
not be estimated in terms oF dollars. Money will
not restore our loved ones who gave their all, but
it can be used to make a better world for those
who are returning and the least we can do is
make this contribution towards a better world.
We should not wait to be called upon by a fi
nance solicitor. Our duty is plain, Buy early and
put Morrow county back up at the top of Oregon
counties in the Victory Loan bond campaign!

Pretty Kettle of Fish!
There is a crying need for houses in Heppner
with little that can be done to remedy the situa
tion. The fault is not entirly local, either, as the
national picture lends more than a little influ
ence, what with the lumber strikes and other
brakes upon reconversion.
It is not likely that suffering will result from
the housing shortage other than the town may
ho mining a growth of population. Not a day
passes that we do not hear about someone wish
ing to locate here if living quarters can be found.
We do not know whether they would be better off
elsewhere but it would be a source of satisfaction
if we were able to offer suitable housing to them.
Perhaps when employers and employees come
to an agreement and industry once more gets into
motion there will be a revival of some of the
building proposals here. As pointed out before,
an extensive growth in population necessarily
calls for an increased water supply. This matter
still claims the attention of the mayor and council
and it is likely that something will be done about
it when labor is more plentiful. Two proposals
are under consideration, boring a new well to
augment the present supply or construction of a
reservoir to hold more of the present supply in re
serve. Reconstruction of the pipe line for several
miles up Willow creek would conserve a lot of wa
ter that now leaks out through the old pipes.
But this started out to be a housing article
and in conclusion it is pertinent to remark that
our problem is not to be confused with the wea
ther situation as Mark Twain viewed it, because
something can be done about housing if we put
our minds to it.
HAS MASTOID OPERATION
Claire Corwin, small daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Corwin, un
derwent a mastoid operation Fri
day in Portland. The operation was
successful but the thing that hurt
Claire most was the fact that the
surgeon shaved her head for a con
siderable area around the incision.
Her hair is her pride and joy and
this liquidation of her tresses, as it
were, is the chief discomfort of her
hospital tenure. Mr. and Mrs. Cor
win took Claire to Portland Thurs
day and after an examination the
physician ordered the child to the
hospital. Mr. Corwin remained un
til satisfied that Claire was doing
all right and returned to Heppner.
Mrs. Corwin remained in the city
to be with the little girl and accom
pany her home. Claire will be in
the hospital for another week at
least.
Harold Smith of Natchez, Wash
spent the week-end in Heppner at
the home of his brother and sister-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Orville
Smith.

Good Team Creates Interest
Heppner high school's football team has made
a creditable record up to date and is one of the
outstanding squads of this section of the state. The
home games have drawn good attendance and
with the boys winning the contests it has not been
difficult for the cash customers to cheer lustily.
In other towns where the writer has lived
there have been organizations of town groups
whose purpose was to support the high school
teams. Known as the "dwntown quarterbacks"
or a similar title, these groups of business men
have lent spontaneous support to the school ath
letic activities while in no wise attempting to run
the show. When the teams were playing else
where substantial numbers of the "quarterbacks"
went along to back them up. At home they turn
ed out en masse to support them. Generally at
the conclusion of the winter sports program a
banquet was staged by the organization at which
time awards were made and a general good time
was provided for teams and club.
Such an organization cou'd orove beneficial
here. It not only would lend support to the ath
letics but would serve tu establish a closer rela
tionship between the high school and the business
people and others of the community.
