Published Every Thursday a jwu pER year SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS It's Thot Time Again We wonder how many have taken a minute to consider what time it is! Now, we don't mean the time of day,, but the time of year. Today, or Jomorrow, or yesterday, depending upon when you happen to read this it either is or was Thanksgiving, which, among other things, marks the start of the Christmas season. We know, it hardly seems possible but it's true. Only a little.ovcr four weeks and old Santa will be knocking on our door or slipping down the chim neys. It's a season of struggle. There's always lots of parties, and meetings that must be attended, then there's the problem of getting the Christmas list organized and starting to gather up the neces sary decorations and little frills that must be ar ranged on the mantle or on the table so that you can gef'in the spirit of things." Then of course comes the job of finding gifts for all of the names on that list you finally completed, and, along with that, the even bigger job of trying to find all the gifts, buy them, and still keep your budget from being too badly bent. Then of course, after you finally find something for everyone on the list there comes the problem of finding a new place to hide Johnnie's package where it will be reason ably safe from" prying eyes. Yes, it's a season of struggle, but it's a season of fun too .... a season that not one of us would want to miss for the world. To help us all live through the next month and get our-shopping done,. all Heppner merchants are putting out their stocks of toys, their gifts for Dads, Pretties for Moms and Sisters and whole hosts of things that will make swell presents for brothers and aunts and uncles and all the rest. They are doing their best to get us to do our Christmas shop ping early eo we can do it the easy way, before the big rush really starts. They all hope we will. . . We all swear that this year we're going to start right now and get it over with, Yet, down in our hearts we both know that when the last Saturday before Christmas comes around everybody in the county will be in town pawing over what's left trying to find something for Aunt Jenny and Uncle Oscar and little Joe the first ones on our list, too. ... the ones we were going to get something for right after Thanks giving. It s the same old story every year. We always seem to make it but we wonder what we'd do with, out that last day! HIT THAT LINE ! SEEK BONUS REPEAL Preliminary petitions were filed this week with the state depart ment of elections which sought to repeal Oregon's bonus for World War II veterans. The filing was made by R. R. Blair and W. R. Giesy, both of Monroe. Both men fought in the war overseas. If the sponsors get 26,286 signa tures by next July 3, the repeal measure would be on the general election ballot next November. STATE FAIR CHIEF Leo. G. Spitzburt, for 25 years manager of the Oregon State Fair will continue as manager of the event. This fair board met in Salem this week and voted to re tain Spitzbart, and set the date for the 1952 fair from Saturday, August 30 through Saturday, September 6. Dr. Earle B. Stewart, Roseburg, chairman of the board, said the 1951 fair was the best and biggest ever and we hope that the 1952 event will be even better.

NEW CELLS AT PEN The many escapes and attempt ed break outs from the Oregon penitentiary during the past three vears are largely traceable to a small group of convict leaders. All of them are now in prison but they are to ovicious and daring for ordinary prison walls. ' While eight convicts who were involved in the Halloween at tempted break out were in soli tary confinment the state board of control approved two new ceil blocks. They will be for medium security and minimum security and will be used to relieve , the crowded conditions of other cell blocks where maximum security is needed. The plan of Warden Virgil J. O'Malley to keep different types of prisoners in separate build ings can be carried out when these cell blocks, and a previous ly authorized maximum security cell block, a segregation block and honorary dormitory are avail able. CHRISTMAS TREE PERMITS Christmas tree"rustling" this year will be more difficult than in former years but permits will be easier to secure if all other re quirements are met. Loopholes in the tree cutting law have been plugged up. Anyone seeking a permit must designate the legal description of the land from which the trees are to be cut and certify he has secured permission of the owner to harvest the trees. The permit also designates the manner in which the land must be kept. Where the owner of the land is other than the permittee he is mailed a copy of the permit. There is no quarantine inspection made on Christmas trees at the Califor nia state line with the exception of white pine. They must have a rust -free inspection certificate.

Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, will be one of the featured speakers at the 20th annual convention of the Oregon FBF this year. Farm Bureau members from 28 counties, representing a total membership of 5.496 will gather at the convention during the week of November 26 in Salem.
