Whot About Bus Service?
It has boon several weeks since anything has
been said about the proposed bus service between
lieppnor and Arlington and from all appearances
the issue is dead. There has been no request for
a hearing, so far as this newsp ipor has been
Informed, and if there is to be a service establish
ed befote the year 19 IS runs out something will
have to be done.
A plea has been made in thus c.ilumn for roes
tabllshment of the bus service in the interest of
non-car drivers who hae occasion to make trips
to outside points. That plea still holds good,
and now conies another side of the picture and
one that may make car drivers dependent upon
a public utility type of transportation. The im
pending gasoline shortage will make all of us
more or less dependent, and don't think it will
not
If the Union Pacific Freight line wlil not be
prepared to meet this emergency, and no other
bus service is available, it looks like it will be
up to the railroad company to put on temporary
passenger service for the duration of the oil
workers strike. With a daily freight service in
and out of Heppner it should be possible to meet
this condition without too great inconvenience,
and after all, the railroad is a common carrier.
Passengers, a limited number at least, may ride
in the caboose of the freight train, but should
the strike prove of an enduring nature more
commodious accommodations will be required.
Whatever the immediate, if not distant, future
has in store for us the fact remains that some
form of public transportation to the outside world
is badly needed but we won't get It by simply
sitting around and complaining. It is about time
to concentrate on this matter and get something
done.
One of Best Shows Seen Here
No doubt many followers of rodeo shows who
did not take in the 1948 Morrow County Fair and
Rodeo will be disappointed when they learn
that this year's show was in many respects the
best ever seen here. There were more good per
formers, the stock was plenty wild, and some of
the time-killing features that have characterized

If labor support is the chief strength of the
Democratic nominee for president, Mr. Truman
may not have as good a chance of retaining his

evident that he is relying upon the labor vote, en

he or any other candidate will get scuh support
from any class or group. The president seems
determined to stir up class strife and may suc

UQUOR RUMPUS
It all started when Governor
Hall and Liquor Commissioner
Joe Freck questioned the other's
judgment of good liquor.
Governor Hall says he suggest
ed to Freck that he buy and sell
to the customers of the state's
liquor monopoly a better brand
of whiskey What Freck told the
governor is not on record for pub
lication.
Last Saturday Governor John
Hall removed Liquor Commis
sioner Joe Freck, Sr. from office
charging misconduct in office,
inefficiency and neglect of duty.
The governor had previously re
quested Freck s resignation
which was not forthcoming
Since Freck refused to resign
a public hearing has been set for
10:30 a.m., September 15 in the
governor's office in Salem. Gov
ernor Hall will be prosecutor,
jury and judge. All evidence,
testimony and exhibits presented
will be confined to the charges
made by the governor.
The governor said he was ad
vised that Freck had sold large
orders of supplies to the liquor
commission and that such sales
by a commissioner were prohib
ited by Oregon law. The governor
also accuses Freck of drawing
$1240 as per diem compensation
in six months while the other
two commissioners on the liquor
commission drew only $420 and
5540 respectively.
THE FOREIGN LOOK
Europeans have developed
healthy courage for achievement
They seldom get caught in ed
dies of diversion as many Amer
icans do. They need raw mater
lals. They will work out their
problems insofar as machinery
and production is concerned if
we give them something to work
with. English agriculturists are
far advanced in the use of ma
chinery and crop production.
These are the deductions of
Ronald Jones, former state sena
tor, who as president of the State
Farmers Union, attended the
third annual convention of the
International Federati6n of Ag
ricultural Producers in France
last month. One English tennant
farmer, with whom he spent a
day, operated 500 acres and said
the land owner was the one who
is hard hit When he dies the gov
ernment will take virtually all
of his property in taxes.
CRIMINAL PATTERN
"I don't know what makes
criminals but I can tell you what
makes honest men," says Gene
Halley, deputy warden at the
state penitentiary.
Big and tough Gene has learn
ed a great deal about criminals
in his many years of experience
at the pen.
'There is one question," he
says, "that I always ask a crim
inal." "Did you attend Sunday
school regularly when a boy?"
I have never found one crim
inal who had gone to Sunday
school regularly as a boy.
600 NEW TEACHERS
Approximately 25 per cent of
the teachers in Oregon schools
for th 1948-49 school year have
requested emergency certificates
authorized by the legislature as
a war-time emergency measure
Under these certificates teachers
who cannot meet pre-war re
quirements are permitted to ac
cept teaching positions in Ore
gon, Rex Putnam, state superin
tendent of public instruction
states.
Of the 8000 teachers required
in the Oregon school system ap
proximately 600 will be from oth
er states.
ORTHOPEDICS
"A good mental state is as Im
portant as physical well-being
in rehabilitation work," Dr. Kelle
E. Kallio, famed orthopedic sur
geon of Finland told representa
tives of state department and
organizations interested in rehab
ilitation work at the capltol re
cently. He placed marked emphasis
on his opening statement that
the work should be started im
mediately upon detection of sub
normal trends and if possible be
fore the patient reaches a bad
mental state.
EDUCATIONAL TEST ROOM
A model schoolroom has been
established at Oregon College of
Educaton as a test room to check
on educational development. Re
decoration, new Ighting and seat
ing systems have been employed
in other states and health and
educational advancements fol.
lowed according to Miss Bernice
Hughes, "the eye lady," of the1
visually handicapped department
of the state eduactlonal system
declares.
