2-Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon, June 5, 1947 EDITORIAL And the Rains Came! Tin-re has boon general rejoicing throughout the wheat bolt and grazing soot ions this wook over the generous rainfall. Faces that had grown agonizingly long h.ive settled into their natural stale once more as a feeling of optirhism pervades rural and urban districts alike. As far as grain crops go there will bo im provement in yield. Wheat that had been esti mated very low is now given a chance to yield from two to five bushels per acre more, and in some instances more than that. Gain in weight will aid those whose crops are more mature. Spring wheat will be materially aided as it is not as far along as the fall sown varieties. At this stage of the game it is difficult to fore see what the ultimate average will be but ex perienced grain raisers, men of long residence here, are convinced that the figure will be well above that given by the metropolitan press in recent weeks. Should Be Warning The fire which destroyed one-half of a block of buildings in Elgin last Thursday evening should be a warning to other towns to look into the matter of building safety. Particularly is this true in relation to lodge buildings. The nar row escape of thirty members of the Elgin Ma- sonic lodge is something not to be passed over lightly as "just one of those things." It has boon mentioned in these columns be fore that fires frequently break out around stairways, shutting off outlets to lodge hails and similar buildings. This fact causes us to inquire just what would a group of people do if fire broke out in one of our local lodge halls? Some would be able to get out, but would all be as fortunate as the Elgin Masons? We think not. If fire escapes have not been ordered for these buildings, something should be done about it during the summer months. Housing Shortage Still Acute There may have been some improvement in the housing situation in Heppner in recent months but it is not apparent to the casual ob server. Inquiries for houses and apartments are still far greater than the supply and new peo ple find it next to impossible to find a place to live. How long this condition will prevail can not be foreseen but it's quite certain that between fifty and one hundred new housing units could be used. Housing is so tight here at present that it is understood the local dentist will have to move elsewhere unless resilience for himself and fam ily is obtained real soon. This is a deplorable situation and something should be done about it. The town needs a dentist, the dentist needs a house the has a wife and five children). Who will come to the rescue and keep him from mov ing away? 3 YEA June 7, 1917 On Sunday. June 3, Loy M. Turner and Miss Mary Ella Coe were married at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.
