SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS ' "Hello...". Today your Gazette Times comes to you from new hands." While your new publishers are new to Heppner and this section of Eastern Oregon, we are not strangers for we had heard much about the town and Morrow county and how friendly and pro gressive its people are. And now, after just one short week we know the stories we had been told were all too conservative. The people of Hepp ner have given up a pleasant welcome, and through these columns we too, want to say "hello." We have already met a good many of you person ally and as time will allow we want to meet and know you all. On the masthead above are the words "Mo row County's Newspaper',' and it is to be our pri mary purpose to give those words a real meaning. Heppner and Morrow county have had a good newspaper and it is our desire to make it even better. There will be some changes made in the style and appearance of the Gazette Times for no two people will run any business exactly the same. The policy of the Gazette Times will be to gather and publish all the news of interest to the people of this area. A newspaper is much like a public utility in that it must provide a definite service for its customers and its advertisers. The Gazette Times will stand ready at all times to take an active part in the progress of Heppner and Morrow county. We are, of course, interested in the welfare of Oregon and the na tion, but our big Job will be to serve the needs of our home town and county. Politically, the Gazette Times will be Republi can, but not of the old school, and will stand for the man best fitted for public office regardless of what his political affiliation might be. The Gazette Times is to be YOUR newspaper. Its publishers want your help in providing for you thekin d of newspaper you want. Your let ters and suggestions are welcome. It is our sincere desire to publish a newspaper of the highest standard one that is dignified and trustworthy. Our success in Heppner depends upon our bringing you this kind of newspaper Our Best Wishes To anyone who has spent most of his lifetime in the newspaper business, and the last many years publishing one, it's a mighty hard thing to make up your mind to hand over the reigns and the business to somebody else. A newspaper is a very personal thing to a publisher, in fact it's just like a part of the family because of the work, the guiding, the "bringing up" that a publisher does for his newspaper. It's a part of him because of the thought and the effort he has put into it. ... if a paper has a personality it is because of the personality of the man or woman, or both, be hind it. To slep out and say "0 K, there it is, it's yours," is a mighty hard thing to do, yet O. G. and Vi Crawford have done just that. They want a vaca tionand Ihe've earned one. They want to see a little of the country, they want to do a little fishing (we hope they will be biting up Willow creek a few miles because we'll bet that's where they'll do their fishing), and they want to do some genuine loafing without having to worry about being back on Monday morning to get started on next Thursday's paper. We wish you the best for a trip, we hope you catch the biggest fish and get in the finest rest that anyone could ask for, and we know that Heppner joins with us in that wish. But, we want to add, Heppner is going to miss you at the old stand. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Drake have as their guests their son Raymond Drake Jr. and family of Philom ath. For the Fourth of July holi day they are expecting two more sons, Donald Drake and family of Portland and Claude and fam ily from Richland, Wash. In a letter from Mrs. Katherine Quald Hofer of Portland we learn that her mother, Mrs. Tom Quaid, has taken the Gazette Times from the first issue down to the pre sent time. Mrs. Quaid will be 94 years old on October 27 and she still enjoys reading the home town paper. Mrs. Grace Nickerson returned about 10 days ago from visiting her son Francis, in Chicago. She had her first visit with her five months old grandson there are two small granddaughters, too. i STARTS FRIDAY OF SUMMER Full Length and Shorties In Wool and Rayon - Forstmann - Juilliards - Pacific Wool ens - Sheen Gabardines All 100 Virgin Wool BUDGET PRICES TO CLEAR BETTER DRESSES 1Q QtZ Regular to $32.50 - Now W CLAUDIEN'S 1 ;jtV4e.-J Mr THIRTY YEARS AGO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES Thursday, July 7, 1921 Born to Mr. and Mrs. Lester Doolittle, on Tuesday, July 5, a 7 pound boy.

Quite a number attended the celebration given by the American Legion post at lone. In the meantime, Heppner was a very quiet village. E. E. Lovgren and a number of other residents of Gooseberry were in the city Wednesday. They are very eager to see a move in augurated that will insure the people out there a mail service.

A MORAL DISCIPLINE AND WEATHER Does warm weather make peo pie reckless? You can sav it makes more wrecks! The monthly reports of state departments having the records, show that warm weather has an affect on accidents and law violators. The State Police department makes more arrests for miscel laneous felonies and violations of the motor vehicle code in the warm weather months. The arc of violations often simulates a thermograph of the weather. The state motor vehicle depart ment graphs reveal a recurrent increase in auto accidents, gen eral law violations and violations of the motor vehicle code during these periods. A startling empact of aulo collisions occurs annually with the first rains of fall that turn the collected oily grime of summer into a slick muck. During the past 30 days the state police made 1,088 arrests of persons who were trying to avoid paying for an operator's or chauf feur's license; l.'SOG driving with out a tail-light and 717 for im proper use of license plates. Fines exacted for these three minor violations totaled $6,737. In the column of fines collected those of drunken drivers invaria bly lead, this time with $12,832, and 12 cases still pending. During the past month approx imately 255 state police spent 7,740 days on the road and afield, traveled 649,228 miles and made 4.6S8 arrests. $UM STROKE OUR READERS ARE NOT OREGON THE POLITICAL BEACON Atlantic coast political column ists (with the republican brand) are crediting Oregon with giving Tom Dewey what he needed to win the presidential nomination in 1948. Now they are saying Ore gon has succeeded Maine as the national political weathervane. POLITICAL PIN-UPS It became apparent here in Salem Monday why Steve Ander son, a Salem attorney, withdrew from his campaign as a delegate to the Young Republican national convention held in Boston last week, stayed home and by remote control threw a bombshell at Sen ator Taft's campaign for the re publican nomination for presi dent. Anderson, who is vice-chairman of the national federation of Young Republicans, two days la ter made the announcement that Wayne Morse, Oregon's junior senator in congress, is a candi date for the republican nomin ation to the presidency. In a front page story in the Oregon Statesman, Salem, Ander son is quoted as saying, "There is a strong and growing group in terested in his candidacy, and we plan to nave a full ticket of Morse-for-president delegates in the primary election next spring. Senator Morse has informed us that if the liberal republicans in Oregon want to get behind him for the presidency, it is all right with him even though he said he might not have time to give much assistance. In Washington Morse said he is not a candidate and that his choice is'General Dwight Eisen hower or Paul Hoffman (the for mer administrator of the Mar shall aid plan). Said Anderson, "There is no assurance now that Eisenhower will be a candidate. If he ever actually is, what a 'natural' an Eisenhower-Morse ticket would be!" VAN DYKE WANTS EQUALIZED TAX Frank Van Dyke, former speak er of Oregon's house of represent. atives and a delegation from Jack son, Josephine and Douglas coun ties appeared before the state tax commission this week seeking EWISH TO EXTEND TO THE CRAWFORDS Our Best Wishes For the Future TOTHEPENLANDS Congratulations and Good Luck Wilson's Men's Wear The Store of Personal Service readjustment in the assessed val uation of the Southern Pacific railroad in this state that is used for tax purposes. Van Dyke wants relief for the taxpayers of the three counties who, he asserts, are unjustly bur dened by outmoded assessed valuations of the railroad. "Southwestern Oregon has grown by leaps and bounds, much more so than other parts of the state and more railroad busi ness originates along the expanse of the Siskiyou line than is creat ed along the Cascade line going south through Klamath Falls, Van Dyke avers. for all occasions MARY VAN'S FLOWER SHOP FLOWERS TRAINED SEALS BUT THEY RESPOND TO AD SUGGESTIONS PENDLETON HEPPNER FREIGHT LINE Arrives at Heppner.
