One Word Sufficient
One word can be used to make
a whole sentence or a short para
graph if given the proper tones.
That's in the Chinese language. (In
American parlance a sentence fre
quently includes two words 30
days). The word "bing", for in
stance may be used in succession as
much as eight times provided the
speaker changes the tone or pitch
each time and a complete sentence
is formed.

TOO MUCH WORK
The Gazette Times is late this
week and the publishers are some
what apologetic. There is but one
explanation too much work for a
Christmas. There also was a matter
small crew, with one day out for
of linotype trouble which hasn't
helped matters and altogether the
situation has not been one to bring
cheer to the collectors and dispen

It appears useless to make rash
promises about the future, but hope
can be expressed that conditions
will be more favorable to meeting
publication schedules.

Oregon War Chest
Fund Exceeds Quota
Morrow county's quota in the
Oregon War Chest fund has been
oversubscribed, according to a re
port received this week from Char
les A. Sprague president and Irl S.
McSherry, executive director. It is
one of 10 counties going over the
top prior to Dec. 6 and one of the
few to exceed the quota to any
extent.
Blaine E. Isom, Morrow county
chairman, telephoned state head
quarters on Dec. 6 that a total of
$4,888 had been subscribed here.
Total budget for all purposes was
$3,119 and Oregon War Chest share
was $3,669. Several of the larger
counties were considerably short
of their quotas at the last report.
Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Tolleson are
expecting their son and daughter
home in the near future. Floyd Tol
leson was scheduled to leave Ho

Mainland to get his discharge and
their daughter, Miss Leila Tolleson,
is to get her discharge papers this

Morrow Holds 3r$
Place in E Bond
Sales in Oregon
Few More Sales
Could Put County
At Head Of List
Morrow county is in third
place in the state in the safe of
E bonds, figures disclosed by the
Oregon War Finance committee
early this week revealed. The state
committee's figures received prior
to Dec. 19 gave this county a rat
ing of 139 percent of quota but re
ceipts since that date have raised it
to approximately 141, according to
B. C. Pinckney, who checked over
the state figures and tabulated re
cent sales to get an approximate
total.
Several large purchases of E
bonds were made the past week
and Pinckney is convinced that if
others of like size could be made
before the campaign ends Monday
there is a strong possibility that
Morrow county would gain top po
sition in the state.
Leading Morrow are Benton and
Union counties, both by small mar
gins. Sales in those counties would
have to be larger in proportion, due
to heavier quotas, to maintain a
lead over this county where a few
thousand dollars more would raise
the percentage noticeably. Pinckney .
stated that no further sales had
been reported from postoffices, al
though there is a possibility that
more funds will be turned in when
the final check-up is- made early
next week.
While final tabulations remain to
be made, estimated sales of E bonds
in the county to date are around
$175,000. Another $20,000 would put
the total sales in a bracket that
would challenge any of the other
counties to surpass.
HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
Among returning veterans to en
joy Christmas at home was Rich
ard Robison, son of Lotus Robison
and Mrs. Maud Robison, who re
ceived his discharge from the navy
two weeks ago. Richard joined his
wife in Portland and waited until
transportation could be secured for
her to Heppner.

Mr. and Mrs. Gerald G. Acklen
and children of Grants Pass are
the holidays with Mrs. Acklen's pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dinges
of Lexington.
WORTH THE INVESTMENT
Christmas is past but you can
still ,buy Christmas seals to aid in
the fight against tuberculosis and
they're worth the money, as can be
seen in the following conversation
between two colored gents.
Sambo: Where yo' goin' boy?"
Quimbo: I'se goin' down to get
myself some anti - tuberkerlosis
seals.
Sambo: What's dey? I ain't never
heard tell of 'em.
Quimbo: Every Christmas I get
myself fifty cents worth of these
here anti-tuberkerlosis seals and
sticks 'em on mah chest and I ain't
never had tuberkerlosis yet.
