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.

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. . ,
