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.

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.

much tax money is at stake so few taxpayers are
concerned.
