It Could Go On Forever
This column had all good intentions of letting
our litle controversy with Stewart Holbrook die . .
that is, until The Oregonian, last Monday, editor
ially commented that maybe we shouldn't needle
the gentleman too far. Their writer informs us
that his encyclopedia tells him there are four di
visions into which a community may fall: city,
town, village and hamlet and that if we were to
complain too loudly Mr. Holbrook might drop our
rating another notch down to a hamlet.
Maybe the Oregonian is right! After the pub
licity his articles have given the city (?) maybe we
shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but we
rather doubt that our mild complaint will have
much effect on future relations. However, we
thought then we had a reasonable objection and
we still do!
The Oregonian didn't feel Itself up to the job
of being judge in the controversy so we decided to
fall back on the greatest of all authorities In the
matter of words, Webster. A thorough examination
of the New International unabridged volume hold
ing down one corner of our desk gave us an In
disputable answer we're both right.
Naturally, we looked up the definition of. a city
first and found this: "CITY In the United States,
a municipal corporation occupying a definite area
and subject to the state from which it derives its
powers and far which it exists as an area of local
government . . ." We believe Heppner qualifies.
The Webster definition of a village was really
helpful, "Any small aggregation of houses in the
country being in general less in number than irl
a town or city and more than in a hamlet."
We feel we can prove our point and it looks as
though Mr. Holbrook can prove his. As Heppner
ites, we can all go on living in the "city" of Hepp
ner, to Mr. Holbrook and the Oregonian, we shall
continue to reside in the "village" of Heppner.
One thing certain, though, no one can acuse
us of living in a "one horse town", We KNOW we
have more horses than that.

"WAR IS NOT INEVITABLE"
"Our foreign policy would be
entirely different today if we
thought that war was Inevitable,"
said Carlton Savage, Salem, who
has spent the past 25 years with
the United States state depart
ment in Washington, D. C. and Is
this week visiting relatives In
the Willamette valley.
"The Kremlin is out for a world
dominated by communism and
all of our foreign policy is for
mulated with that In mind. As
a central part of that policy we
are building physical strength,
hoping we shall never have to
use it," Savage asserted.
"There Is more emphasis on
consultation with the military
than ever before In forming pol
icy," he added, "I deplore today's
foreign policy scene as not a
pretty picture, but there can be
no clear cut policy that has all
desirable features today; this is
bad, that's bad, but you have got
to choose one, and none are a
very happy solution," he continu
ed. NO STATE PROPERTY TAX
For the 11th straight year there
won't have to be a state property
tax. The state tax commission
made this statement in announc
ing their state tax levy; that $87,
693,539 will be needed in taxes
for state purposes for the fiscal
year which begins July 1. This
is $16,000,000 more than was used
the past fiscal year.
MUST CALL FOR BIOS
All school districts are now re
quired to call for bids on pur
chases of supplies and other ma.
terlals. Heretofore only the first
class districts in the state were
required to ask for bids.
This change was made by the
1951 legislature and became ef
fective August 2.
MORE EMERGENCY TEACHERS
There is a shortage of cer
tified teachers in Oregon and
while all positions will be filled
it will require the issuance of
emergency permit certificates for
the 1951-1952 school year.
. About 2000 emergency certifi
cates are contemplated. Required
qualifications very in different
states and out-of-state teachers
are given these certificates until
they can become eligible for per
manent certificates next year.
DIGEST OF OPINIONS
Recent opinions made by Attor
ney General George Neuner in
clude: Lands acquired through tax
foreclosure and remaining un
sold after time published for sale
for lack of bids may be sold by
county court under provisions of
Oregon law, as amended, with
out further notice.
The Oregon law establishing
domestic relations departments
in certain judicial districts, was
not Intended to change existing
procedure of district and justice

connection with crimes mention
ed in the statute.
A person, other than a student,
who operates a vehicle carrying
students to or from school for

Small loan company's plan of
"releasing" borrower and having

bility within statutory aggre
gate amount that it may lend
him, icannot be approved by sup.
erintendent of banks for use in
Oregon. The1 attempted resale

SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS HIT
One of the many laws passed
by the 1951 legislature, which
went into effect this month, is
worrying small school districts
of the state. This new law re
quires all public agencies to in
stall a 40-hour week for employ
ees. Many of these districts have
been employing janitors and
similar help on a 48-hour week
basis. The districts have no extra
money budgeted.

chorus, a 45-piece orchestra, boys
choir,' principals, and extras.

and producing Carmen, was also
responsible for the 1950 perform
ance in Washington Park of

Portland premiere of Gian-Carlo
Menotti's two operas "The Med
ium" and "The Telephone."
Carmen is being conducted and
