A Town Meeting, That All May Know and Understand The Heppner city council Monday completed arrangements to place the long-talked-about plan for a sewer system and disposal plant on the bal lot. On Juno 24 the residents of the city will go to the polls to decide the issue. The council, as it staled some time ago it would, has called a regular old-fashioned town meeting where all the people can come and find out first hand how the plan is to work, how it will effect each one, how much it will cost, what each home owner will have to do to connect to the sewer,, and the answers to the many other ques tions we know are in the minds of many. The members of the council are going to be on the stand that night for the solepurpo.se of ex plaining the need for such a sewef program and will be ready to to answer your questions. As every resident knows, the proposed sewer plan is nothing new, nor is it anything that was licked out of a hat, for many hours and days of study and planning have been put into it by the council and by the engineering firm who has pre pared the plans for the system, It is something that Heppner must have if it is to eliminate its many unsanitary conditions prevailing throughout the city something the state sanitary board has told the city it must build to clean up the heavily polluted Willow creek. It is a major step the city must take if it is to progress. Our feeling is "let's have our sewer system we're paying for it right now through the special 10 mill levy voted by the people and the sewer use charge paid with the water bills, we might as well be enjoying its benefits." One point we are going to repeat, for we hope every resident understands it, as the plans are now set up the $300,000 bond issue can be re tired with PRACTICALLY NO MORE CHARGES THAN WE ARE NOW PAYING. The equivalent of the present 10 mill special levy for a sewer sink ing fund and the sewer use charge of $1.50 per month (50 cents more than the present charge of $1.00) will in all probability be sufficient to pay for the entire system. There will be no extra charge assessed against your property, for a sewer connection will be run to your property line. All each property owner must do is connect from his house to the sewer at the edge of the property. This cost will vary with the individual home or busi ness house, depending upon its location on the lot or the method with which it is now plumbed, but In most cases this cost will not be any greater than the cost of periodic cleaning or replacing of the present septic tank. At the June 13 town meeting you will be able to get the answers to your questions. We urge everyone to make special plans to be present that evening. Id' LEGISLATIVE POLITICS Nothing less than a Democratic landslide could give that party control in the Senate or the House of Representatives In 1953. The political complexion of the Oregon legislature has been Re publican since 1937 when the Democrats had a majority in the House. In the 1953 Senate there will be 10 Republican holdover members who with four Republican candi dates without opposition, will leave the GOP's two seats short of r Long Distance Nation-Widc Moving Service Mayflower Agents Padded Vans Penland Bros. TRANSFER CO. Pendleton, Oregon Phone 338 control. This, however, does not take into consideration that the suc cessor of Senator Sam Coon Is just about certain to be a Republican. Sen. Coon expects to resign his senate seat after the November election to take a seat in the United States, House of Represen tatives from the 2nd Congression al District of Oregon. To assure control of the 30 member Senate the Republicans will have to win only one of the 13 contests in November while the Democrats would have to win all 13 contests to hold a tie. The House does not have hold over members. The two parties start from scratch. Thirteen Re publican candidates do not have opposition on the ticket and are assured of election. The Demo crats have only one candidate, Ivan C. Laird (Coos), who scared off all competition. In four legislative districts the Democrats are short six candi dates and the Republicans in an other district are short one candi date. To hold control of the 60-mem-ber House the Republicans must win 12 of the 40 open contests. The Democrats will require 30 of the 40. RAINFALL LOW IN MAY If the May campaign was dry blame it on the weatherman. He has admitted that Oregon had a very dry May and had sub a lower temperature than May 1951, and 1.2 degrees lower than the average Oregon May. Prevailing winds had a south ern quirk.

Too many cars go to garages for the same reason that too many human bodies go to hos pitals they never got a square deal, says the AAA driver train ing book, "Sportsmanlike Driv ing." As far as garages and hospitals are concerned, there's a good little slogan Upkeep Keeps You Out, Caring for your car is a good example of where "the stitch in time saves nine." Little troubles develop into big break downs. For both safety and economy, keep every part of your car in tip-top shape. Follow seven easy rules for simple ear care: , 1.

NEW DEPUTY WARDEN It took the State Board of Con trol three weeks to decide on Lawrence O'Brien as deputy war den of the Oregon State Peniten tiary. There were four other close contenders. O'Brien will succeed Deputy Warden Eugene L. Halley, who is retiring July 1 after 30 years of continual service. The new deputy warden has been in prison work for 16 years, holding positions at Alcatraz, San Quentin and Folsom, California.
