Cancer Control Month by presidential decree the American Cancer Society will make its only pioa for funds to the very public for which it fights. It requires vast sums to carry on the fight against this dread killer and the funds must come from the public. It is not comforting to learn that 17 milion Am ericans now living are marked to die of cancer. It is somewhat reassuring to learn that through the efforts of the American Cancer Society in conducting research more than 65,00O Americans will be saved from cancer this year. The crusade against the killer is bearing fruit. What we are most concerned in at present is the impending campaign for funds. Millions of dollars have been allocated to discover the cause of and cure for cancer. Millions of educational pamphlets, posters, films, ads, etc. are teaching people how to recognize cancer and what to do about it .. .a million volunteers are carrying can cer control right into the home supplying cancer dressings, transportation, home services. This all takes money, regardless of volunteer workers, and this year's goal is $14,565,561. The American Legion Auxiliary has accepted the re sponsibility of raising the quota in Morrow coun ty. Let us not make it difficult for these vol unteer workers All of us have witnessed examples of this insidious disease and we should be willing 30 YEARS AG Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, April 3, 1919 The baseball season was open ed last Saturday afternoon on the lone diamond.

Particularly is this true in regard to contour farming, as Is shown by a statement re cently made by Stephen Thompson, chairman of the Morrow county ACA committee. According to Thompson, contour plowing dates back as far at least as Thomas Jefferson's time. Jefferson in troduced this type of farming, along with a num ber of other conservation practices at his farm at Monticello. In a letter to a friend in 1S13, he said: "Our country is hilly and we have been in the habit of ploughing in straight rows whether up and down hill, in oblique lines, or however they lead; and our soil was all rapidly running into the rivers. We now plough horizontally, following the curvatures of the hills and hollows, on the dead level, however crooked the lines may be. Every furrow thus acts as a reservoir to receive and retain the waters, all of which go to the benefit of the growing plant, instead of running off into the streams.

These five words are a pandex of the feelings of every legislator here at the capitol. They feel they have done their best. So do those who have had a continuous close up observation of the legislative business of the growing state. There is a big job yet to do and the determination of these weary- but courageous lawmakers can be sensed all over the place. Bills keep pouring in. Among those introduced this weak were bills to provide 75 full-time state police officers to enforce game laws, to be paid one-third from the general fund and two thirds from game fund; pay of All arranpments have been com pleted to make this the biggest event ever pulled off in the coun ty, and there will be a crowd at lone on mis occasion, ao not doubt it.

Walsh, Coos Bay, took over the post of chief executive of Oregon last Thursday for the second time since his election as senate pilot January 10.

Later this f'k. e K'ven un lost that burning desire to be a free people with equal suffrage Have they come to the conclu sion that we are no longer fit to govern ourselves and that we should turn that job over to a King and a retinue of bureau crats? Last January 20, we witnessed what was termed the inaugura ton of a president. To many of us the spectacle took on the ter rifying aura of a coronation, and the broad, dictatorial powers since astd for by our Chief Ex ecutlve indicate that he, himself, believes he exchanged his Mis souri sombrero for a crown upon that gala occasion. Congress must refuse to grant the Administration the authority to impose peace-time controls, to fix prices, to put Uncle Sam into the steel business or any other business, at its caprice or whim Otherwise, the sacrifice made bv our Forefathers to throw off the yoke of a King will have been In vain. Let your Congressman and U. S. Senators know that you arc bitterly opposed to revertitij back to the status of "subject that you wish to remain a "free citizen" and remind them that Kings have been very much ou of style in America since 1776. By the Declaration of Inde pendence and the victorious struggle of those heroes of the thirteen colonies, the principle of "The Divine Right of the Indiv idual" was established here in America, and "The Divine Right of Kings" was definitely disestab lished.
