Time To Show Holiday Spirit
A (ilranucr within t ho pates would get only a
hint that a celebration of some kind is in the
making, judging from the lack of pre-Fair-Rodeo
activity or regalia along the main drag. Absence
of cowboy hats, colorful ties and shirts up to the
prownt will naturally leave the uninitiated some
what in the dark relative to the pending shows
and were it not for the activity at the fair grounds
and rodeo park it would be difficult to believe
that the supreme community activity event is in
the making and only seven days aw ay.
This seeming indifference is not so much due to
lack of spirit as to conditions in general. If you
ask any native he v. ill probably go southern Cal
ifornian on you and say the weather has been
unusual and that everything has been thrown out
of gear thereby. And he would not be missing the
mark too far. For the unusual weather character
izing this year of 194S has created a bountiful har
vest from crops that were delayed in maturing by
at least two weeks and this has kept farmers and
stockmen on the job at home at a time their ser
vices would be most acceptable in preparing for
the big show. But a lot can be done in a few days
and it is safe to state that both the fair and the
rodeo will be ready come Thursday, September 2.
It can be predicted that before this week has run
its course there will be vivid evidence ol the
"spirit of the old West" in the nature of cowboy
regalia, albeit the wearers will be mostly of the
drugstore variety. By delaying the moment of
donning the attire it will at least shorten the
NATIONAL CDITORIAI
lime of wearing it, and that means something
to the average citizen who dislikes discarding the
quieter conventional dress for something that will
call too much attention to his physical beauty.
Eut there will be evidences of a great sacrifice
of this personal pride for a few days before the
big show opens and then everybody will know
that the annual festival spirit has seized upon
the community.
Housing Still Crying Need
Another season is coming to a close, that part
of the year most favorable to building, and not
much progress has been made toward solving the
housing problem in Heppner. With the opening
of school now just a matter of a few days away
the pressure for living space is more acute, which
does not add to the comfort of those who are in
search of places to live. t
Changes in the teaching staff In the local
school means that several new people will be
located here for the winter. It is highly essential
that these teachers have proper housing. Two
apartments are needed, for at least two of the
newcomers have families, and some of the single
teachers wish rooms in private homes.
It will add much to the success of the school
throughout the year if these people are made
comfortable made to feel that they are appre
ciated and that the patrons have an earnest
desire to cooperate in making the best possible
school. Get in touch with Supt. Leonard Pate at
once if you have a place for a teacher in your
home or have apartments for rent.

The state tax commission Mon
day prepared its tax levy, show
ing a deficiency of $6,430,069. This
is the amount that the voters
will be asked to approve in pro
perty taxes at the general elec
tion next November. If the pro
perty tax is voted, it would not'
actually be levied, because part
of the $40,000,00 income tax sur
plus would be used to offset it.
The tax levy is usually prepared
July 31, but it was delayed by the
supreme court decision which
held last week that the income
tax surplus can be used only for
nrnnert tax relief
The tax levy estimated that 1
$39,971,726 is needed to run the
state during the year ending-June
30.
