Oiling Will Help
With March winds stirring up the dust, condi
tions on Hrppncr streets have been somewhat
reminiscent of the pre-paying era the past few
days. An exceptionally moist winter has washed
no little amount of good top soil from the hill
sides down on to the streets and as this soil has
dried it has started moving hither and yon, ac
cording to the fancy of the wind.
Our streets are getting dry and it would be a
good idea to invest some of the funds reverting to
the city from state highway funds in a new coat
of oil. This may be done if a program now under
consideration by the council is started this year.
That is to establish curb lines and extend the
paving out to those lines. Much of the existing
trouble is due to a lack of proper drainage, the
absence of established gutters to carry away the
water that accumulates during storms or from
meltinp snows. Parked vehicles gather up mud
from the undrained sides of the streets and carry
it out on to the traveled portijn and when this
mud dries wind and traffic stir up the dust. It is
disagreeable and a thwarting of the effort to keep
down the dust and provide cleaner streets and
more comfortable living conditions.
By all means, let us have more oil on the pre
sent paving if there is a fund with which to pay
for such improvement
National 4-H Club Week
This is national 4-H Club week. It is "get going
with the spring season'' time for 1.700.000 farm
boys and girls in 4-H clubs. And here is what the
clubs will do:
Without much national fanfare the boys and
girls in 74,000 clubs over the country will meet
with their adult leaders and talk over how best
to carry on their agreed-on projects; make an
inventory in order to see that they have all need
ed supplies and equipment; plan new projects;
NATIONAL DITOWAL
visit other boys and girls in the community and
invite them to attend meetings, join, and help,
and plan special local public gatherings, exhibits,
citizenship ceremonies, radio programs, and other
activities to help explain club work to all, and
make it mean more to farm boys and girls as well
as to the general public.
The special theme for 4-H Club week and thru
194S is "Creating Better Homes Today for a More
Responsible Citizenship Tomorrow..'
The boys and girls who follow through with
their 4-H club work not only profit financially but
become leaders in their chosen fields of endeavor.
They learn early in life the value of being thrifty
and industrious, of getting pleasure out of worth
while enterprise instead of frivolity.
There is something for all of us in that 1948
theme, if we would but take a leaf from the 4-H
club book.
Welcome, Soroptimists
Heppner took another step forward this week
with formation here of a chapter of Soroptimist,
an international women's civic organization.
While the charter membership is comparatively
small, thete is no doubt but that as meaning and
aims of Soroptimist become better known the
membership will increase. The local chapter will
be a luncheon club with a meeting each week.
The new club will afford an outlet for business
women of the community who have little or no
time to participate in chamber of commerce and
kindred civic activities, particularly those calling
for evening meetings. The women will meet at
luncheon, just as the chamber of commerce does,
and transact club affairs during the noon hour.
Soroptimist is one more organization looking
to civic improvement, and being a women's group
will be prosecuted with more vigor than is the
it can be expected that any program taken up
usual custom of the opposite sex.
The new club is a welcome addition to the
civic and social life of the community.

Grass Gets Nod
rom Pilots For
Landing Fields
The rapid expansion In number
of small airplane landing fields
in Oregon and the popularity of
grass runways is indicated by the
frequent requests for information
on best grasses to use for this
purpose, reports E. R. Jackman,
extension farm crops specialist at
O.S.C. .
The grass runways are far
cheaper than surfaced runways,
and in addition, pilots of small
planes prefer them to the cement
or gravel surfaces, says Jackman.
Alta fescue, chewing fescue,
and the various bent grasses pro
duced in Oregon are all used suc
cessfully for landing fields. These
provide a tough, smooth sod that
stands wear and is usable under
varying weather conditions.
Pilots say a grass runway af
fords better depth perception be
cause there are practically no
heat waves from grass, whereas
on solid runways pilots are fre
quently confused by a wavy ap
pearance, if not actual mirages.
Grass landing fields also prac
tically eliminate tire wear, pilots
report, in sharp contrast to other
types of landing fields where rap
id wear of tires is an important
item of expense.
Other advantages in grass
landing fields mentioned by pi
lots included the elimination of
dust, which causes poor visibility
on landing and wears out planes
rapidly, and the freedom from
flying gravel in the prop Wash,
which is common on gravelled
fields.
33,000 miles year-long tour last
September 17 in Philadelphia. It
carries 127 of the nation's most
priceless documents showing the
foundations and growth of Amer
ican liberty.
The Freedom Train is, in es
sence, the spearhead of the Amer
ican Heritage Foundation s pro
gram which seeks to recreate
awareness among U. S. citizens
of their priceless heritage; and
to urge more active participation
of all citizens in civic affairs.
Most of the documents aboard
the Freedom Train have hereto
fore never been taken from their
permanent place of safe-keeping.
For the most part, custody of the
papers belongs to the Library ot
Congress, the National archives
state department and war, navy
and treasury departments. Many
private collections, notably the
Research Collection of early Am
erican memorabilia, are also well
represented.
