2-Mcppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon, February 6, 1947 EDITORIAL No Cause for Worry If you Rrp one of the older feneration who has been worrying about what is to become of the eountry now that you are about to release your share of the control, don't worry any longer. Take your retirement in stride and enjoy the fruits of your labors. The country's going to be all right. The younger generation will take over and prob ably do a better job than their forebears. One gains that impression after attending a 4-II club function and learns of some of the things the young folks are doing. Kids of that age know more about livestock, farm problems, cooking and sewing and numerous other pro jects they are working on than most of their el ders had learned by the time they were privileg ed to vote. And those who have livestock projects have, for the most part, learned more about fin ances than most of us knew at twice their age. One also learns that the door to opportunity is as wide open today as it was in those long gone days when the country wsa new. The young people have the advantage of learning or rather profiting by the mistakes of the older genera tion. They are being trained along lines of con servation to overcome some of the handicaps imposed on them through the improvident devel opment of our agriculture and in this they are attaining greater wisdom. They are learning to live better, to appreciate the better things of life. And the nice part about it is they are hav ing a lot of clean, wholesome fun while they are learning. It is a pleasure to note that 4-H club work is on the upgrade in Morrow county. Good lead ership is being developed and progress is being made. New clubs are starting up and more are planned. There should be activity enough to claim the attention of every young person of that age in the county. It can be done if enough leaders can be found. The pleasure obtained from the work by those who have followed through for several years should be an inspira tion to others. One of the highlights of a 4-H clubber's career is to attend the summer school on the Oregon Hayes of Lexington has consented to cover that section of the county and her first grist of news will be found elsewhere in the paper. The paper is indebted to Mrs, A. M. Edwards for having carried on for the past two or three years. Her contributions were voluntary as she did not wish to obligate herself for a weekly column but felt the community should be represented. Arrange ments have been made with Mrs. Owen Leath ers to send in items from Kinzua and we are looking forward to the return of the former cor respondent at Hardman to the columns of the Gazette Times. There must be someone in each community who could send in items to the county paper. There are happenings every week that would be of interest if they were given publicity. like to hear an encouraging word from you. This is a good bill an.l worthy of your favorable consideration. There will be opposition, no doubt, yet whe.it is one of the bij; cropsindus tries, if you ple.ise-in Oregon and anything done to stabilize the industry will be of bene fit to the entire state. Drop a line to your repre sentatives today and tell them you are with them. Just feeling inclined toward the measure will not suffice. They should know how you feel about it "scouts ,;ofX'the pjRbl . tea House Bill No. 176 House Bill No. 176 is the Eastern Oregon Wheat League sponsored bill introduced in the Oregon legislature by Representatives French, Peterson, Lindberg, Lieuallen, Eberhard, Heisler, Chind gren, McKenzie, Lage, Morse, R.

While times have been good for the wheatrais ers in recent years, the farmers are not unaware that history has a habit of repeating and they are looking ahead to the time when they will again be on their own; that is, without govern ment price 'guarantees, subsidies, and the like. A surplus of wheat is grown in the state and during recent years that surplus has been in ex cess of available markets. To meet this condi tion the Wheat League proposes to set up a State college campus.
