2 Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon, April 29, 1948 EDITORIAL Piiii$Hjtijr4-ss(iTin Why Not Hove More of Them? Diicountlng the probability that there were people In the audience Tuesday evening at the nchool gymnasium who are inclined to be critical. It is safe to say that the home talent presentation of "Hillbilly Courtship" was universally enjoyed. To those who might be inclined towards picking the play to pieces it might not be known that the cast had little time to prepare a play of that length and It must also be remembered that there was no attempt to present it on a professional basis. It was a creditable performance and the community is indebted to the cast and all those Identified with the production for an enjoyable evening. So well was this play presented and received that the question arises, "why not have more home talent productions?" The stage production are the vehicles for drawing out much talent which if left dormant too long perishes from dis use. And it is surprising what may be uncovered In the way of promising talent through the me dium of local amateur shows. The policy should be to encourage at least two or three such pro ductions annually, engaging musical talent as well as the dramatic. Should Remove Fire Hazard Communities ofttimes have to suffer major dis asters before they become sufficiently aroused to take precautions that are plainly needed. There is too much trusting to luck, especially where tire hazards are concerned. Heppner had an illustration of what could easily happen when the dance pavilion caught fire. Danger to neighboring property from this fire was not imminent but the possibilities of a disastrous conflagration were easily visualized had the pavilion really burned. Not that the pavilion itself, if standing there alone, would be a menace. It so happens that the real menace lies in the exhibit building just south of the pav ilion. Should fire break out there at night and get under headway before the fire department arrived it is more than a 50-50 gamble that other property in the vicinity would suffer. That was in the NATIONAL CDITORIAL. y AfV- AT OKI minds of almost everyone at the scene of Mon day's fire. Development of the city's property acquired ir. a trade with the county contemplates the eventual removal of the exhibit building. The county has used it for storing machinery and other material requiring housing. Undoubtedly some or all of this material could be stored in buldings on the county's property adjoining the Rodeo grounds. The machinery was moved out Monday and has since stood out-of-doors. In all fairness the county should remove the rest of the stuff from the building and permit the city to raze the structure. A huge pile of cast-off tires stored in one corner doesn't contribute much in the way of fire safety and there is other inflammable material which would really add fuel to a fire. In brief, the old building is a fire hazard and should be removed before it becomes the cause of a major disaster. Continued heavy rains are not contributing much to the welfare of the county's roads already in a bad state of repair. It will require a program of "permanizing" to make the roads passable the year round and such a program cannot be met by the $27,000 or so materializing to the road fund through the regular channels. Many times that amount will be needed to make a good start on acquiring the road system contemplated and the time for starting that program can't be delayed longer without adding heavily to the cost. An op portunity is offered to remedy the road situation on May 21. Mud is harder to pull through than dust Think it over. There must be more than a thousand people in Morrow county qualifed to vote on school budgets, yet less than one-fourth that number voted in the recent budget election. Those who voted expressed their opinions, while those who did not take the time to go to the polls gave their sanction to the several budgets although they might have voted otherwise. life much tax money is at stake so few taxpayers are concerned. 30 YEARS AGO From Heppner Gazette Times May 2, 1918 George Hamilton of Heppner was killed last Sunday morning in Buttermilk canyon near Rhea creek when the automobile he was driving turned over on him.
