SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS It Was Kind of Nice... It takes quite a little bit of encouraging, or a fire, or something else of extreme importance to get this writer to roll out of bed at any hour like 5 a.m., in fact it isn't every day we'd even wake up then, if only to roll over after taking one look at the Big Ben. But doggone, Tuesday morning at 5:00 we woke up sniffing the air. It wasn't any fire, nor was it any emergency, but something sounded and smelled vaguely familiar. Now, being an ex-Willamette valleyite, it is hard to understand how we would even notice a little thing like Rain . . . but, by golly, there it was, coming down in gentle little drops that sounded good and smelled even better. . A few months or years ago if someone told us we'd rejoice at a good sprinkle we probably would have told them to have their head examined . . . this time it was a different story. Maybe we've missed the rain a little, but this year we believe, so have a good many died-in-the-wool Eastern Oregonians too, and it's a pretty safe bet that there are plenty of webfooted valley residents who have missed the Oregon "mist" a lot more. Heppner's little sprinkle didn't amount to too much, but It was genuine rain Just the same whether it came all of its own accord or was helped along a little by some of Dr. Krick's hired hands, and we think Heppner should be mighty proud of that moisture those few clouds held, for we are told Lexington got but a little drizzle, and further down the creek nothing happened. Over the other way, in Umatilla county, the clouds passed by without spilling more than a few drops and the East Oregonian tells us that on Monday Pendleton celebrated it 77th day without rain. Now we don't want' to be hoggish, for we know that all the farmers in the rest of the county need some rain just as badly as do those close to town, and the people on the other side of the Cascades probably need it even worse, neither do we have any feud with Pendletonians and to prove our sincerety, any time we have an extra rain cloud that Morrow county farmers don't need right at the moment, we'll be glad to shoo it over their way and let them milk it. Just the same, we're mighty glad it rained on us and we might even go so far.as to get up at 5 o'clock some other morning just to see it happen again. A Date For Friday This Friday afternoon Heppner residents will have their first opportunity to see theiT own "Mustangs" in action when they tangle with the Parkdale squad on the Rodeo field. Its a date as many as possible should make. Hal Whltbeck's boys have been putting in some hard afternoons and evenings of practice so they can show the home folks what kind of a team they are. We all know what they are capable of doing, especially after their game last Friday. The bigger the crowd the better any football team will play, for the support the rooters give them is a mighty important part of every play er's performance. Let's turn out Friday and watch a good team do its best. F 1 Car License Act Popular Oregon's Ingenious permanent motor vehicle license plate act has been cutting costs for the state and saving time for the licensees for nearly two years. Now another advantage of the act shows up in the present metal shortage emergency. Some states are already resorting to wind shield stickers as a substitute for metal plates, says Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, while Oregon has an ample supply of the small year-indicating tabs that will meet normal demands until 1954. The large plates are issued only to new registrants or to replace lost plates. A new procedure has been adopted in the issuing of plates when th originals have been lost. Heretofore duplicate plates with the same numbers were manufactured, requiring 30 days. Hereafter a new number will appear on the replaced plates.' Automobile dealers will be is sued a single plate to be dis played in the rear of the ve hicle. The permanent license idea sponsored by Secretary of State Newbry and adopted by the 1949 legislature has been adopted by several other states and motor vehicle department officials from many states have come to Ore gon to get the "know-how" of the workings of the act. . , Forestry Bonds Sold At a meeting of the state for estry board in Salem this week $200,000 of forest rehabilitation bonds were sold to a financial firm of Chicago and the printing of the bonds awarded to Irwin Hodson Co. of Portland.
