Flight to Portland Ends in Ground
Loop on Heppner Hilltop
When the dust cleared away,
John Sams stepped out of his
wrecked plane and told his pas
senger, Lester Roth, "Well, I
guess we won't go after all."
That's the way their planned
flight from Heppner to Portland
enued at 4:10 p. m. Friday when
Sams and Roth, members of the
hospital construction crew, at
tempted to take off from the hill,
top above the hospital site' in a
club-owned Aeronca tandem
trainer.
Sams, a carpenter from Mc
Minnville, owns a quarter inter
est in the plane, which he esti
mates to have been damaged to
the extent of about S,o,X). The pro

and longerons were sprung when
the plane ground-looped after
losing its undercarriage while
Council Discusses
Garbage Disposal
City Employe George Morgan
told the council Tuesday night
that Heppner's garbage troubles
are caused largely by the refusal
cf Heppnerites to cooperate with
garbage haulers. Morgan was
asked to speak after M. L. Case
told fellow council members that
something would have to be done
about garbage hauling.
Morgan said the canning sea
son has placed an unusual bur
den on haulers, and that too
many citizens have failed to ac
quire regulation garbage cans. A
great many people still are using
55-gallon drums and are dump
ing ashes, garbage, and card
hoard in together. Morgan said.
He explained that one man, or
two, could not possibly lift such
containers, which must be emp
tied onto the ground and the con
tents scooped up and shoveled
into t he truck. Morgan said so
many people are careless about
complying with the council's reg
ulations that it is impossible for
haulers to do the work as the city
desired to have it done.
After telling the council that
the garbage hauler must at times
be used on street repair woik,
Mayor Conley Lanham asked the
councilmen to investigate the
garbage situation and return to
the next session with some re
commendation. EVANGELISTIC SERVICES

Gasoline Cowboy
Dunked In Trough
By Kangaroo Court
At the first session of the kan
garoo court last night on Hepp
ner's Main street, a violator of
rodeo week regulations was
chained, "bludgeoned," and
dunked in a horse trough for the
"terrific and heinous crime of rid
ing a motor scooter instead of a
horse, and doing so maliciously,
unlawfully, ajid with malice
aforethought."
Convicted on the evidence of
witnesses who swore to tell ''the
truth, or part of the truth, or at
least not too many lies, the
court's victim was ceremoniously
dropped into the water tank after
being assured by his counsel that
the juuge had been bribed to sus
pend the sentence.
The mock court, presided over
tiy Judge Henry Tetz, kept a
group of spectators virtually in
stitches for over an hour. Bill
Barratt as defense counsel, Ralph
Currin as prosecuting attorney,
and several well known "kops"
helped the judge give a steady
flow of violators the works.
The horse trough treatment was
meted out to Carl McDaniel and
Scooter Rider Nate McBride. Mc
Daniel dragged two "kops" into
the trough with him when his
sentence was carried out.
Heppner's junior chamber of
commerce organized the show.

Grain Growers To
Rebuild Elevators
The directors of the Morrow
County Grain Growers, Inc. hope
to start rebuilding the Heppner
elevators within a month, Ted
Smith, manager, said this morn
ing. Approximately $200,000 will
be spent on construction, and pre
sent plans call for the structure
to be erected on the site of the el
evators that burned on July 18.
Smith said five bids have been
received by the directors, and at
least one more is expected. The
undelivered bid will be for the
construction of an all-steel unit
Among the plans submitted
with bids is an E. S. MeCormick
company design for a complete
unit that would be prefabricated
in 20- by 30-foot, concrete sec
tions. The sections would be pour
ed at the elevator site, then hoist
ed into position by cranes. This
unit woujd include a warehouse,
storage elevator, feed mill and an
office. Smith said this type of
construction has never been used
in Oregon.

Budworm Control
Subject For Study
A comprehensive study of the
current budworm and sawfly sit
uation in the Blue mountains and
other districts will be made today
in a meeting being held in Port
land Central library, according to
lniormation imparted by Glenn
Parsons, district forest ranger.
Supervisors of the ML Hood. Wil
lamette and Umatilla forests have
been requested to attend and in
vitations have been extended to
the supervisors of the Whitman,
Malheur, Ochoco and Deschutes
forests. The Umatilla forest will
be represented by Supervisor Carl
twing and Forester Glen Jorgen
sen.
Parsons has mailed letters to 10
people in his district who he feels
are deeply concerned and inter
ested in setting up a program of
control over tnese pests which
have increased to the extent that
not only fir timber but the pre
cious pine of this region is threat
ened with destruction. Due to the
press of current events it was not
possible for some of the local peo.
pie to attend the meeting but
those in attendance are fully
aware of the situation and of the
concern felt by the people of the
district.
Random Thots
The G-T comes to you in slight
ly abbreviated form this week.
This is partly due to the fact
that a small crew can do only so
much, even if the clock is work
ed three-fourths of the way round
day after day. But the truth is
that the small crew has turned
out much printing the past two
or three weeks, beginning with a
54-page book which was delivered
August 30, and then immediately
turning to the rodeo souvenir pro
gram which had to be out this
week whether it ever rains in
Morrow county again or not. Then
there were tickets, scads of them,
for the grandstand, the bleach
ers, the dances. And in the mean
time a few of the regular cus
tomers had to be taken care of, to
say nothing of giving a little
thought to the gathering and wri
ting of news. Ah. me! The life of
a country printer is no bed of
roses.
Well, here it is fair and rodeo
time again. Let's all pitch in and
hase a good time (without too
much exuberance) and make the
1949 show the best ever. The ex
hibits and entertainment features
will not be worth the effort un
less the people turn out to see
them. After all, the hard-working
fair board and committees
can only provide the sources of
entertainment they cannot en
joy them lor you, too. It is every body's
fair-rodeo. Enjoy your
share of it.
It takes more than failure of
the lights to chill the ardor ol
the Wranglers when they set out
to do something. Witness the pa
rade and coronation program Sat-
uraay nignt. rne crowd turned
out and remained, not knowing
when the lights would come on
again. The parade would have
been more enjoyable had there
been lights, but with car lights
and flashlights thrown on the
procession here and there the
crowds were able to see what was
going on and no one was disap
pointed. The bands did excep
tionally well in the parade and
the entire program, slowed a lit
tle while lighting facilities were
rigged up, spelled a good time
for all.
