A Continuing Program
A few weeks back the Gazette Times called at
tention to the need of funds with which to finish
the landscaping of the grounds at the Pioneer
Memorial hospital. Funds raised by taxation for
constructing and equipping the building were not
sufficient to complete the landscaping and the
county court and the hospital board are hopeful
than funds can be raised by popular subscription
for this purpose. Some interested persons and
organizations have subscribed funds and the goal
now is for enough money to include a sprinkling
system which, while adding considerably to the
initial investment, will pay for itself within three
years eimply by eliminating the necessity for hir
ing additional grounds help.
There are additions to be made to the building
with which the hospital board is concerned at the
present. It might better be said that there is a
necessity for these additions and the board is
disturbed over the lack of finances with which to
make them. A solarium, or sun porch, for ambula
tory patients is perhaps top on the list. It is felt
that this could be accomplished by popular sub
scription. It is not a matter involving heavy fi
nancing, yet in view of the fact that a millage is
included in the budget for maintenance, there is
no inclination to seek a further levy for the
hospital.
The items enumerated are the ones making
the problems for the hospital board and manage
ment at the present When these are taken care
of there will be other things demanding the sup
port of individuals and groups. The efficiency of
the service will depend upon the manner in which
the hospital is kept abreast of changing conditions
and increased patronage. It is proving of great
convenience to the people of Morrow, Gilliam and
Wheeler counties. It should be recognized by all
that upkeep, improvements and additions consti
tute a continuing program something that will
call for more finances from time to time, even if
the hospital pays its own way in the matter of
personnel. A number of our citizens have recog
nized this situation and have already subscribed
generous amounts to start a fund that will make
realization of present needs a matter of accomp
lishment within a short time.
The Fighting Sheepman
The writer of this column has finished reading
a most interesting book. The title is "Fighting
Sheepman" and it was authored by Ray Palmer
Tracy of Condon. To be brief about it, don't start
reading this book if you do not have time to read
it through to the end.
"Fighting Sheepman" deals with an era and
with a subject still fresh in the minds of countless
Eastern Oregonians. While locale and- characters
are purely fictional, anyone living in this area
could easily picture similar conditions right at
home, particularly in that period extending from
around 1900 to the early 1930's. It is the story of
a boy who could no longer endure the tyranny of
an uncle who had cheated him out of a small
dowry and after giving the uncle a sound thrash
ing gatheredjjp his meager belongings and struck
out into a cold world alone. He soon found himself
a long distance from his native Vermont, having
joined a construction outfit that was headed for
Idaho. After working several months at this job
and carefully hoarding his savings, he drifted into
Eastern Oregon and got a job dn a sheep ranch.
Well, you take the story from there. You'll
find it interesting reading and fiction mainly be
cause names and places are obscured. Who knows
but that some of your old acquaintances may be
speaking to you from the pages of this book.
Not A Politician
As a military man, General Douglas McAr
thur is dead right. As a politician he appears to
be dead wrong by the Truman standard, at least.
He is accustomed to looking a military problem
squarely in the face and has demonstrated that he
is not afraid to risk his judgment in grappling
with the enemy. But when he took the bull by
the horns and urged extension of the Korean war
to the Chinese mainland he stirred up a controver
sy in diplomatic circles the cocktail lounge stra
tegists and consequently finds himself on the
retired list.
The shooting war going on in Korea is practic
ally drowned out by the static created by the word
war precipitated through President Truman's ac
tion in dismissing McArthur. Whatever the out
come may be in the world situation as a result of
the action is not now foreseeable but if the
President has committed another diplomatic'blun-
der he should try to rectify it and assure his coun
trymen of fewer colossal boners on the part of our
foreign policy makers by resigning and taking a
lot of his appointees along with him.
Latecomers Boost
County's Revenues
Tardy taxpayers are helping
the county get back some of the
money paid out to prompt tax
peyers who pay their taxes in
full and on time. This is due to
the penalty imposed by law up
on those who do not file their
property blanks by the time pre
scribed by law.
A penalty of five percent is
imposed on all delinquents, ac
cording to Assessor W. O. Dix,
and he has no alternative. As of
Wednesday of this week, there
were 48 property blanks due at
his office. Due notice has been
given all such tardy persons but
to date they have paid no heed
to the warnings.
