The pro clamation urges all citizens to observe the day by wearing me morial poppies in honor of those who gave their lives in the two World Wars t stated: "Whereas, many men of Hepp gave tneir lives in defense of , United states o America in World War I and World War II; and "Whereas, Memory of their ser vice an dsacritice Is a source ot great inspiration to all citizens as our nation faces new difficul- ies and dangers; and "Whereas, This memory is kept right by the annual wearing of memorial poppies in their honor and in honor of all other Ameri cans who died in world war ser vice; "Now, therefore, I, Conley Lan ham, Mayor of the City of Hepp ner, do hereby proclaim Satur day, May 28, to be Poppy Day in the City of Heppner, and urge that all citizens observe the day by wearing the memorial poppy. Random Thoughts... Apparently there is nothing that can be done to relieve the housing shortage here. Numerous residences are under construction at present, yet the housing short age is acute. Scarcely a day pas ses that one or more people do not come to this office to inquire about housing. Some of these people will be here temporarily while others are looking for per manent residence. New people are coming into the state every day. Thousands of them will be added by the end of the year. Not all of the newcomers will settle west of the Cascades. Neither will all of those drifting into eastern Oregon settle around the govern ment projects or established irri gated districts. Some of them are drifting this way. They are not attracted by big payroll indus tries, by irrigated lands. They are looking for homes and any little town offering good living advan tages will draw Its share. That appears to be the situation so far as Heppner Is concerned. We have numerous living advantages to offer and to date there is work for nearly all who want work. But they will not remain here if unable to secure ample housing, even if they have good jobs. This is one last plea to the j public spirited citizens of Hepp ner lo turn out and help with the lob of finishing the tennis courts it (lie school. A few sections re , i iln to be poured and until this too is completed the summer recreational program Is being held up. It Is fully realized that ill of us are busy these days and it is difficult to arrange time for extra duties but not only is the ('creation program being im-vdi-d, our ch ic pride Is at stake i well., A good sized crew can finish the job in one working per iod.
