$5 A Month Per Child?
With the Oregon Chest drive locally only three
days old the quota has been thirty per cent sub
scribed. That Is the amount accounted lor up to
Wednesday evening with returns mostly from
Heppner. There should be no doubt regarding the
ultimate subscription to the fund, for Morrow
county stands among the top counties in fund
campaigns, whether it be outright gift or purchase
of bonds. Nevertheless, there are many people
who do not look with favor upon the various char,
lty and service programs and the bulk of the giv
ing is left to those who have a desire to aid their
less fortunate brothers and sisters.
This era of prosperity which has been visited
upon many of us has not been experienced in all
quarters. Particularly is this true of the institu
tions which care for the dependent classes aged
and infirm, and homeless children. Funds pro
vided for some of the homes are inedaquate. They
are understaffed and unprepared for overloads
which occur from time to time. Consequently, the
money has to be spread a little thinner and the
inmates experience thinner rations. We have it
on good authority that some of the children's
homes have been reduced to as low as five dollars
per child per month. Is there a chance in the
world for these kiddies to grow up as normal
children, to enjoy any of the little favors so dear
to childish hearts. We think not. Five dollars
a week is more in line with present-day standards
and that won't provide spending money.
Think this over and be ready to double what
you originally planned when a representative of
the local drive knocks at your door.
Avail Yourself of This Service
During the month of November there will be
an opportunity for our people those from fifteen
years of age up to learn whether or not they
may be afflicted with tuberculosis. Through the
cooperation of the Morrow County Public Health
association with the Oregon Tuberculosis asso
ciation, the free services of the mobile x-ray unit
will be placed at the disposal of the people of
NATIOI
N
AUDITORIAL
ASSOCIATION
this county. On November 8 the people of Irrigon
and Boardman will be served; on the 9th the unit
will be at Lexington and lone, and on November
10 and 12 it will be in Heppner. November 11
being Armistice Day the unit will not be in oper
ation. The associations and the operators of the unit
were disappointed in the showing made in Mor
row county last year and it is the sincere hope of
all concerned in promoting this invaluable service
that every person in the county fifteen years of
age and older will make it a MUST to have an
x-ray this year. Only by acquiring information
about TB in its early stages can it be successfully
treated and that is the very reason for the mobile
unit to reach out into the highways and byways
and offer the services free of charge to everybody,
for if left to our own decision to go to a compe
tent physician or to a clinic it is a well known
fact that about 90 per cent of us would put it off
until illness forced us to make the move.
It requires but a few minutes for the x-ray. Why
not keep these dates in mind and let nothing
interfere with your appearance at the mobile unit
as it visits your community?
Our "Bouquet of Roses"
The Gazette Times is not attempting to steal a
march on the Junior Chamber of Commerce but
borrowing a function of the Jaycees we would
like to present the "Bouquet of Roses" for this
month to Thomson Bros, upon the occasion of the
grand opening of their handsome new market
Apparently no expense has been spared in mak
ing this one of the most modern food stores in
this part of the state.
The firm is to be congratulated upon its faith
in the community by not only improving its mer
chandising facilities but by adorning the block
in which the store has been located for so many
years. This manifestation of faith deserves rec
ognition and no doubt will bring a greater mea
sure of prosperity to the store.
So we say "congratulations" and wish Thomson
Bros, success and happiness at their grand open
ing this week end.

Washington Week
Br CHARLES L ESENROAD
Washington, D. C In his pre
sent political campaign Mr. Tru
man has revealed an unwilling
ness by the executive branch of
the government to administer the
laws as passed by the legislative
branch. This is not the first time
he has exposed this executive
disregard of constitutional re
quirements. However, as opposed to his pre
sent attitude, when he first re
vealed the existence of this pol
icy he severely denounced it. That
was on July 3, 1945, when he felt
the executive departments were
threatening to ignore or circum
vent the laws.
At that time the Democrats
controlled both the Congress and
the executive branch of the gov
ernment, and a majority of the
members who form the judicial
branch had also been named dur
ing the Democrat regime.
Nevertheless, the late Labor
Secretary Schwellenbach prepar
ed an order and submitted it to
the President, who, according to
Mr. Schwellenbach, thought so
much of it that he recommended
it be issued "with the approval
of the President" through White
House channels.
That order read:
"I am issuing this order now
before any specific instance aris
es so as not to subject anyone to
embarrassment Perhaps because
my previous experience has been
in the legislative and judicial
branches of the Government, I
am peculiarly sensitive to the lm.
portance of this question.
"I must insist that in this de
partment there is given full rec
ognition to the fact it is the func
tion of this department to exe
cute the laws. The duty of an
officer of this department is TO
ACCEPT THE LAWS AS CON
GRESS HAS WRITTEN THEM
AND AS THE COURTS HAVE IN
TERPRETED THEM. THE FACT

FIX IT IN OCTOBER
With children off to school and
canning out of the way, it is time
to get ready for winter. Why not
make October your "fix-it"
month?
Let's take one day to mend
those broken places in the screens
as we take them down. It only
reuires a little screen' and next
spring they will be already to put
up.
As you go through the house
this "fix-it" day carry an oil can
and squirt those doors that have a
peculiar squeak. A screwdriver
will fix those loose screws on door
handles or hooks with a twist of
the wrist How about soaping
those drawers that often stick to
save a little wear on patience?
Lastly, we can check the cords

this week to Rex Putnam, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion. Corrections have been de
manded by Putnam and are al
ready being made.
The report shows that 66 per
cent of the non-standard schools
do not have hot and cold water;
42 per cent need building repairs;
29 per cent are using rooms too

After the order was issued Mr.
Schwellenbach, in a press con
ference, said that his assistants
studying departmental reorgani
zation had not yet turned up any
case where the law was being
ignored or wrongly applied.
"But," he said, "I've helped to
pass laws in the Senate which
I wouldn't recognize if I met
them on the street AFTER THE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT GOT
THROUGH WITH THEM."
Throughout his political cam
paign Mr. Truman has spoken
rather plainly of the unwilling
ness of the executive department
of Government to accept the laws
passed by Congress. During the
80th Congress he went so far
at one time as to say in a veto
message that the law could not
be enforced.
It is being enforced and successfully.
