HEPPNER'S MILK PROBLEM
The Gazette Times offers its full support to the
action taken last Monday by the Heppner Cham
ber of Commerce In appointing a committee to
Investigate the milk situation in thecity.
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. There have been so
many claims' and counter-claims
about the number of signatures
secured on the cigarette and
truck law referendums that
everybody is jumpy.
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.
