A Valuable Citizen Gone
In the passing of George reck, Morrow county
hg lout a valuable citizen. That is not merely
the voiced opinion of one who has cherished his
friendship for years, but a well-nigh universal
feeling, as testified by the large concourse of peo'
ple who gathered at Lexington Sunday afternoon
to pay a tribute of respect to his memory. He was
honored and respected by ail who knew him.
Few of our citizens have displayed greater
talent for leadership and a willingness to serve
than George. A leader in the grange, the farm
bureau, the Eastern Oregon Wheat League, and
as a member of the Morrow county court, his ser
vices were such that it was with regret his terms
came to a ciose. After retirement from active
management of his wheat ranch he became mayor
of Lexington, a position he held until death. His
zeal fos. accomplishing good was again seen in
street Improvements and diking the Blackhorse to
protect the town against flash floods. Whether
the task was large or small he gave it his earnest
attention.
But he Is gone now stricken down in the
prime of life before he had finished all those
things he had it in his heart to do. It is the mem
ory of that tireless energy and genial friendliness
that will linger on and make family and friends
miss him.
Count Your Blessings
If you have enjoyed good health and have been
prosperous to a degree the past year you have
something for which to be thankful. For if you
' have been thus blessed there have been many
things you have enjoyed.
It is conveivable that most of us have enjoyed
being free from a shooting war. We think mostly
in terms of bloodshed when the word war is spok
en, and while there may be what is termed a
"cold war" in progress, the fact that people are
not being killed and property destroyed is some
thing for which all may be thankful.
We may be thankful that this America o ours,
while not quite the same as she used to be, still
has a sense of freedom not enjoyed in many coun
tries of the world; that there is a freedom of the
press, which, if left undisturbed, will help sustain
the "American Way of Life" and keep this coun
try as a foremost exponent of freedom for all
peoples.
We may be thankful that our forbears had the
wisdo mand foresght to set aside one day in the
year when all may pause to reflect over our for
tunes for the past season, checking the good
against the bad and in the long run finding that
the good has overbalanced the bad. In those ear
lier times there probably was more gratitude than
is evidenced today, but the peopl eof that time
had no more to be thankful for than have we of
the present era. Thanksgiving had more real
meaning, we think, because there were fewer oc
casions for celebrations or observances in those
earlier times, yet when one ponders the great ex
pansion that has taken place, the great advances
in scientific development, the many conveniences
at our command today, the abundance of those
things for only a few of which our forbears had to
be thankful, should we not show an appreciation
commensurate with the gratitude expressed by
those at the first Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is not represented in feasting
alone. It is also a time for us to count our bless
ings and give credit where credit is due.
30 YEARS AGO
Many Rooms Needed
Once more an appeal is made to householders
of the community to make room for visitors who
will flock to the city next week for the Oregon
Wheat League convention. It is estimated that
no less than 500 outside people will need accom
modations on Friday, with a less number Thurs
day and Saturday. A limited number of Satur
day night rooms will be required by those coming
from greater distances who will not wish to start
for home until Sunday morning.
Committees from the Junior Chamber of Com
merce have been signing up rooms the past few
days. They insist there will have to be greater
response if the room situation is to be in hand by
next Thursday.
For A Federal Building
When the Heppner Chamber of Commerce sent
a resolution to Congressman Lowell Stockman
asking that Heppner be included on the list of
towns designated for federal buildings it started
something that struck more or less of a popular
chord. Since an article appeared in this news
paper putting forth reasons why a federal build-1
ing should be located here, the East Oregonian has i
lent its support to the proposal, and now comes the ;
Morrow County Agricultural Planning Committee
with a resolution supporting the movement, and
at the semi-monthly meeting of the Heppner city .
council Monday evening a motion was passed that j
the city likewise present a resolution requesting j
the proper authorities to consider Heppner's bid. j
With all of this support back of the request, our
delegation in Congress will know that a federal
building not only is wanted but is needed. It is
the kind of support they need in presenting a
proposal to the agency having the selection of
sites and allocation of funds.
