Publicity is something almost every business,
organization, city and state is continually try
ing to get, and there is an old saying that "Any
publicity is good publicity." Heppner has of
late been getting its share of both state-wide and
national publicity through the recent stories by
Stewart Holbrook of its famous flood which have
appeared in condensed form first in the magazine
Cornet and again last Sunday in the magazine
section of the Oregonian.
Whether the publicity comes from tragedy, such
as was experienced here or whether it comes from
some great program or development such as the
McNary dam for example the so-called "Good"
kind of publicity, really makes very little differ
ence. It put Heppner more firmly on every map,
and in other people's minds. Just because there
was a flood in Heppner 48 years ago doesn't mean
that people won't come here to live and to es
tablish businesses . . . Heppner's continually In
creasing population proves that.
We might even suggest that Stewart Holbrook

again for Governor or United

He has never been beaten for

He will quit a winner.
It will be Senator McKay in the

was scheduled for this position
once before but it never came to
a vote.

of Commerce for the help he has given that or
ganization in getting the name of Heppner before
the people of the state and nation. However,
should they be inclined to make such an offer,
there is one thing that should be straightened out
with Mr. Holbrook first. In his Oregonian article
Who there is who can definitely decide where the
line shall be drawn between a town and a city
but we do know Heppner is more
True, there are plenty of towns, or
cities, bigger than we are but there are plenty
smaller too, and one example is Mill City, in the
valley and it s a city because it say so right in
its name.
If Mr. Holbrook will stop in the next time he
we'll prove to him that we're a
city too, for on a corner right down town (or city)
there stands a building with these words spread
clear across the front for all to see, "HEPPNER

The people of Oregon are react
ing to the Korean peace efforts
just as the Russian war strateg
ists would have them. Our a
pathy is our most dangerous
enemy.
The voters of Portland have
just turned down a one-mill tax
for civil defense when that city
is the top atomic target of the
slate. Civil defense units over the
rest of the state are being told
they most likely will have to
help Portland if it is bombed.
"The state is trying to defend
Its civilians against a possible
war with Russia. Civil defense
has nothing to do with the Kor
ean war," says Governor Douglas
McKay.
At a recent meeting of 1000
representatives of 400 national
organizations in Washington D.
C, Civil Defense Administrator
Millard Caldwell warned "What
ever you do, never overlook the
chance that Russian planes may
be over your city some day
perhaps soon, perhaps later in at
tack there is very little chance
that our defense could stop more
than ten per cent of the planes."
