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

event. This fair board met in
Salem this week and voted to re

August 30 through Saturday,
September 6.
Dr. Earle B. Stewart, Roseburg,
chairman of the board, said the
1951 fair was the best and biggest

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.
FARM BUREAU STATE MEET
Marshall Swearingen, state
president of the Oregon Farm
Bureau Federation, announced on
Saturday that Alan B. Kline,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, will be one of

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.
STATE WORKERS CONVENE
Concatenation of the state
public retirement system with
social security or some other wel
fare program was sought in one
of the many resolutions passed
this week by the Oregon State
Employees association meeting in
Salem for a three-day annual
convention.
Other resolutions passed:
That civil service examinations
be changed to include only the
qualifications needed for the job
to be filled.
To increase benefits to the em
ployee's beneficiary when death
occurs before retirement.
That one member of the state
civil service commission be
chosen from the state employees
association.
