Full details of the story and the situation can be found in a news story in today's paper and need not be repeated here, however we feel the whole problem needs an airing. What it actually boils down to is that Heppner deserves and wants better service than it is now getting from only dairy now serving it in any quanltity. Jfumerous protests have been heard since the Dairy Cooperative Association stopped home de livery of its Mayflower milk a little over a week ago requiring housewives to buy their milk at the store. Maybe it wasn't feasible or profitable to continue such service, but, we feel that if we are required to be our own milkman that we are en titled to the right and prlvelege to buy daily fresh milk from our grocer ... not milk that has been delivered to him yesterday, or in some cases two days before. Milk is now being delivered to the grocers In Heppner only three days a week. We know that the Dairy Coop, the same as any other business, must operate at a profit if it is to continue to operate, but when a business Is pro tected by law against price cutting as is the dairy business in Oregon because of the state's Milk Control Law, that business takes on many of the aspects of a public utility, and as such has a very definite obligation to the public. We feel that the Dairy Coop has an obligation to Hpnnnpr to nrovide its citizens with fresh milk every day, particularly in view of the fact that they must be their own delivery boy when they buy it at their grocery. THERE WAS A CLOCK! Following last week's editorial request for proof regarding the presence of the clock in the court house at the time of the Heppner flood, the Ga zette Times nearly had a flood of answers. Many of the answers came from the memories of "Old Timers" and while we certainly do not question the accuracy of their memories, still such answers hardly offered the kind of proof needed to con vince Stewart Holbrook that he was wrong. We in no way mean to discredit the people who called, for their answers to the question just prov ed to us, and should to Mr. Holbrook, that they knew what they were talking about, for along with the calls also came the kind of definite proof we were looking for ... a picture taken immed iately following the flood showing the devasta tion caused by the water. . . and, towering above it all stood the new court house with the face of the clock plainly visible. The picture was turned up by J. 0. Turner who rumaged through old albums and came up with the wanted answer to the question. We under stand, too, that there are several other pictures around Heppner showing the same scene. We're convinced ... and we will have the pic ture available for Mr. Holbrook's inspection if he wishes to see for himself.

Stamps on Auto Policies All car liability insurance poli cies must carry a stamp specify ing whether each policy meets the requirements of Oregon's new financial responsibility act which went into effect August 2. The new law also provides that every driver involved in an ac cident which results in death, in jury or property damage of $100 or over must file a report -with the secretary of state within 24 hours, but is excepted from other provisions of the new act if he proves that at the time of the time of the mishap he was carry ing liability insurance with a company recognized in Oregon, covering damage claims up to $5,000 for one person, $10,000 for more than one and for property damage. A driver faces suspension of both driver's license and owner's registrations if he has no lia bility coverage and cannot de posit cash or collateral within 60 days to cover damages. The provision is intended to protect the public from reckless and ir responsible drivers who are fin ancially unable to pay for the damages they may cause. To Vote On Fag Tax When sure-footed Represent ative Gust Anderson, Portland, makes a statement, you discount anything contradictory that you may hear.

Monday Anderson said that more than the required 16,429 signatures have been secured. This will hold up the 3-cent per package cigarette tax until the people of Oregon can vote on it at the next general election.
