Time To Polish Key
Lest we forget, there is to be a state convention
in Heppner in less than three weeks. Delegates
nd visitors numbering several hundred persons
will be here for most oi three days and many of
them, com:ng from a distance, will require hous
ing. Hospitality is another thing that establishes
town's reputation as a convention center. In
years past, Htppncr has shown no lack of hospi
taiity and there is no reason why there should be
anxiety on that score now.
The point is that the wheat leatue has extend
ed its scope to include the entire state and more
extensive preparations have to be made to enter
tain the visitors. By entertainment is meant
giving them a place to stay; the steering commit
tee is arranging for such other entertainment as
will be required outside of the league's business
program. This means that homes will have to be
opened, for hotel accommodations are limited,
even with the hotel management generously set
ting aside a number of rooms for officials, speak
ers, and committee purposes. Our people have
responded in such emergencies before and it is
not anticipated that the Junior Chamber of Com
merce will meet with any measurable amount of
resistance in signing up accommodations. The
time is growing short and it sems timely to re
mark that the key to the city should be taken from
its place of keeping and polished up in readiness
for one of the most important conventions it has
been Heppner's privilege to entertain in many
years.
This Service Should Continue
Since the city inaugurated a garbage hauling
service conditions in the alleyways and back yards
have Improved. It Ls being rumored that the pre
sent service, now in private hands, will be dis
continued. This should not happen. The town
can ill afford to slip backward in anything that
tends to affect sanitary conditions, to say nothing
of fire hazards. The garbage hauling service is
a step in advance and when the city once gets
straightened out on the dumpground situation
there should be a more persistent effort to get all
citizens to refrain from trash burning or hauling
their rubbish outside the city limits except to the
site provided by the city for disposing of such
material. .
It must be remembered that garbage hauling is
not the most enjoyable work one might engage
ln, yet If properly handled it is, or can be made,
a profitable venture. It requires cooperation of
the residents and business houses with the con
tractor, and each person or firm employing the
services of the garbage hauler should take into
consideration the type of work it is, the value to
their respective properties in having the trash
and waste matter removed and not begrudge a
reasonable stipend that must be paid to make
the job attractive.

Hare You Contributed?
Checks for the Community Chest are coming in
almost daily but the goal is a long way off unless
many more people contribute many more dollars.
There has been no concerted drive for funds in the
current campaign and it may be that many who
would give to the cause have been waiting for
some of the ballyhoo that typified the campaigns
during the war. To those we would say that there
will be no ballyhoo. On the other hand, it is not
out or order to remind our readers that several or
ganizations are depending on your donations to
carry on their work. Some of these are groups that
are active within our midst.
Compared, with some of the drives we have been
through in recent years, the Community Chest
quota is not large. Morrow county could easily
subscribe the whole sum in a day if there were a
concerted drive. It is not so large that every fam
ily, giving from one to five dollars, would reach
the goal.
As the Christmas season approaches, let us re
member the admonition that "It is more blessed
to give than to receive," and buy some blessedness
for ourselves by including a gift to the Commun
ity Chest along with the rest of our holiday
shopping lists.
It Was A Good Season
We doff our tile to Coach Vernon Bohles and
his 1M9 Heppner High school football team. Six
wins, one tie and two losses is a good record for
a team that opened the season as an unknown
quantity. Outweighed and less experienced than
most of their opponents, the Mustangs, like the
Oregon State Beavers, played an increasingly
stronger game as the season advanced. The cli
max, of course, was the defeat of Moro here on
November 4. The boys could not repeat against
another heavy team after playing the fired up
brand of football they displayed that day, with
the workers themselves finally "We must win in spite of such

"This isi't going to be an easy

One Third State's
Fatal Car Accidents
Non-Collision Type
One-third of Oregon's fatal
motor vehicle accidents in the
first nine months of this year
did not involve collision with
any other object or person, the
state safety division reported
today.
The division said non-collision
accidents are the type in which
the car overturns or runs off the
road. They account for less than
three percent of total mishaps
reported, owing their high share
of fatalities to the excessive
speed which is nearly always a
contributing factor in loss of
control.
Pedestrian mishaps are nor
mally most lethal from the
point of view of deaths per hun
dred accidents because of the
walker's vulnerability and lack
of protection. This year non
collisions have surpassed them
in this respect, emphasizing the
importance of high speed as the
killing factor.
The division urged drivers to
reduce speeds at night and when
highways are wet, pointing out
that a momentary glare blind
ness or skid on a curve may
cause loss of control at high
speed. Driving skill is seldom of
any avail once control is lost,
and is better displayed in mak
ing sure the occasion does not
arise, safety officials concluded.
