Candid Opinion
Not Favorable to
Change in Paper
Many subscribers have expressed
pleasure over the change of form
of the Gazette Times and the pub
lishers were beginning to feel smug
about doing the right thing when
along comes a letter from an old
subscriber who states plainly that
he doesn't like the new set-up. The
subscriber is none other than Fred
Wehmeyer, retired forest ranger
who held down the Heppner ranger
job for so many years. Writing from
Vista, Calif., he has the following
to say:
"I can't remember if I was paid
up a year in advance when I left
Heppner. or not. Anvhow. am en.
closing check to have my subscrip
tion extended from last expiration
date.
"Heppner still seems like it's our
home so ofcourse we get real en
joyment from each issue.
"Expect we are getting to the age
where we don't enjoy changes, so
can't say we like the paper in new
lorm, or rather the new form of
the paper.
"We have a nice small place here.
Like the country and folks here are
typically western and homey. How
ever, we miss old friends and sur
roundings and don't suppose life
will seem complete unless we could
pickj up Morrow county and move
it down here to southern Califor-
nia. Hope to get back on a visit ;
within the next year. Kindest per
sonal regards to you and best wish
es to all."
Sincerely, F. Wehmeyer.

Heppner Blanked
By Smooth Work
Of Wasco Pitcher
14 Strikeouts, 3
Hits Locals' Share
In 9 to 0 Defeat
Heppner ballplayers had no
chance to acquaint themselves with
the bases on the Wasco diamond
when they crossed bats with the
Sherman county aggregation Sun
day afternoon. Only three found
the Wasco hurler for hits and 14
of them struck out. None of the
hits brought in scores and the lads
are having little to say about the
goose egg handed them while the
host team ran up a score of nine
tallies.
It is a brief but sad story how
the new Wasco pitcher literally
froze the Heppnerites in their
tracks. He (the pitcher, that is)
established a record for strikeouts
and for holding opponents all but
hitless and enirely scoreless. Aside
from the 14 strikeouts and three
hits, his record for the day was
pitching to 32 men.
Miller pitched three innings and
was relieved by McCurdy who
stuck it out three innings and then
turned the job over to Ray Massey.
Massev was in form and made a
good sliowing but could do nothing
about that eoose egg-
While Wasco was having a field
day at Heppner's expense. Condon
did an even worse job on Arling
ton. The final score was 10-0. lone
showed improvement by holding
Fossil down to six tallies. lone ran

Got a Magpie You
Want to Dispose of?
Has anyone a magpie for sale?
By magpie we mean one of those
blue-black and white sassy birds
one frequently gees swooping down
on the highway to pick at the car
cass of an unfortunate rabbit, or
perchance a cat or another bird,
If you have such a bird at hand
or close by and want to get rid of it
notify this newspaper. We don't
want one, but we know of someone
who does.
Back in 1927 Jorgen M- Chris
tiansen, noted trainer and exhibitor
of horses, spent several months at
the Swaggart ranch. He had bought
several of the Swaggart Creamc
line stallions and stayed there to
give the animals their preliminary
show training. Mr. Swaggart gave
Mrs. Christiansen a magpie which
she raised and became very attach
ed to- She lost the bird by accident
and is anxious to get another one.
The Chrsitiansens will pass through
Heppner about Sept 23 or 24 en
route to Denver. They will be pre
pared to take one or perhaps sev
eral magpies for which they will
pay a fair price. Young birds are
preferred.
The Christiansens sent their best
regards to the people of this sec
tion who will remember them from
their former visits. They showed
their horses here in 1942 with the
Russell Bros- circus.

Central Completes
Installation of New
Type Condenser
A new condenser system design
ed to keep perishable foods fresh
at all times has been installed at
the Central Market. The job of in
stallation was completed late last
week by a workman from the fac
tory and the market now boasts
one of the best cooling systems in
the country.
- The plant now consists of two
units one for the locker department
and the other for the meat counter
and other fresh food storage- It is
so arranged that should one unit
go out of action the turn of a
valve places the control of the en
tire plant upon the other unit. This
eliminates the possibility of loss or
damage to foods when one section
oi the cooling system goes out of
commission.
The addition of the. second unit
insures a steady temperature in
the locker room at all times.
Beef, Sheep, Lamb
Subsidies to End
Subsidy pavmens for beef feeder
cattle, and sheep and lamb produc
tion will be discontinued as of mid
night. June 30. announced Henrv
Baker, county AAA chairman, this
week.
Cattlfe, or sheep and lambs, own
ed by feeder-slaughterers which
meet all other specifications for
payment must be slaughtered be
fore midnight June 30 to be eligible
for subsidy payments. Feeders must
deliver beef cattle for slaughter be
fore the same time, and other per
sons applying for sheep-lamb sub
sidy payments must deliver the
animals to a slaughterer for slaugh
er by the deadline time in order
to receive the payments
All applications must be filed
with the ' county agriculural con
servation oftice not later than Aug
31, 1946. Ii all infrmation for pay
ment is not obtained by that date,
applications must still be filed by
Aug. 31 and more time will be al
lowed tol secure the additiona
information.
"Delivered to a slaughterer" has
been interpreted to mean that the
cattle, sheep or lambs were weigh
ed to the slaughterer and complete
ownership vested in' the slaughterer
before midnight. June 30.

Miss Hoosier Resigns
Teaching Job Here
Miss Rose Hoosier has written
her friends at the G-T office of
a change in her plans for the en
suing months. Instead of attending
summer school at Greeley, Colo.,
as was -her earlier intention she
has been resting at her home in
Stanfield preparatory to taking up
the ofiice work in her brother's ga
rage in Pendleton.
Miss Hoosier was elected to full
time music and art in the Hepp
ner schools this spring but has re
signed from teaching for the pre
sent at least hoping a change in
occupation will benefit her health.
Miss Hoosier has taught music in
the school and the sixth grade and
will be greatly missed in the com
munity where her talents have
been generously given.. She has di
rected the choir for the Church of
Christ and has been an enthusiastic
member of the Women's chorus.
News Notes From
IheC-A Office

give Morrow county farmers the
help needed in filling labor needs.
To date, eight workers have been
placed and all orders for workers
are tilled.
We ask that farmers order the
labor they need a few days in ad
vance so that Mr- Rice will have
a chance to locate workers by the
time they are needed. The farm la
bor oifioe phone number is 263.
There seems to be little demand
for earwig bait. Anyone who needs
bait can get it at the county agent's
office.

Two weeks ago the enterprising
citizens of Lexington decided there
should be a celebration in Morrow
county. They also decided that if
there was an observance of the na
tional holiday it was up to Lex
ington to provide it. Time was
short but they figured if it requir
ed hard work to put it over there
would be no dodging the obligation
once it was accepted. And they did
go to work. Now, two weeks later,
the program is arranged and the
people of the county and from
other sections have been invited to
"Celebrate at Lexington."
Chief items of interest will be
the air show. This will be the first
exhibition of its kind ever held in
the county and visitors will be gi
ven an opportunity to see what can
be done in a plane piloted by a
daring stunt flyer. Bob Alexander
of the Western Skyways. Troutdalo
airport, will give the crowd some
thrills on the alternoon of the 4th.
Then there will be a parachute
jump, a spot landing contest for
local student flyers, showing of new
model planes, and passenger rides
Visitors will also have an oppor
tunity to look over the new hangar,
a quonset hut which will be cov
ered but not entirely closed due to
a delay in receiving the end cover-ings-
The celebration will open the af
ternoon of the third. A baseball
game between lone and - possibly
Echo will provide entertainment in
the afternoon and there will be a
carnival and a dance for evening
enjoyment
A feature of the program on the
Fourth will be the parade at 10
ajn. Up to Tuesday 21 floats had
been signed up and there was pro
mise of others before the entries
close. The parade will be followed
by a baseball game between Hepp
ner and lone. This will start at
10:30. Time will be taken out for
eats prior to the air show.
Jack Forsythe has two planes, an
Aeronca and a Taylorcraft which
will be available for passenger
rides. There will be other planes at
the airport, some new models, in
cluding two new Aircoupes. and
they will be in service during the
day.
The carnival will run through
the day and there will be nothing
lacking in the way of entertain
ment All net proceeds accruing from
the dances, the air show and other
sources will be turned over to the
Lexington airport commission for
use in developing the airport.
