"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.

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.

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!"

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,
