S.ngle Copy 10 cents. YES .... The people of Heppner let it be known in no uncertain terms last Tuesday that they wanted a sewer system and disposal plant. A five-to-one vote favoring the bond issue leaves no doubt that the citizens are tired of the smell and inconveni ence they have been living with for years. Their overwhelming decision to go ahead with the plan is, in reality, a vote of confidence for the council who has put in many hours developing the plan they thought would be practical and workable. The ballot Tuesday proved to them that their efforts were both wanted and wise. With the advent of a sewer, Heppner will have taken a long step forward toward becoming a modern city maybe not a big one, but neverthe less a progressive one. In the years to come there will be many more changes made, and It is our be lief that the construction of a sewer system will be the thing that will motivate many of the ad vancements. Just think, too, when it is all built and oper ating our children can make use of Willow Creek as a playground without their parents having to worry about them contracting some form of di sease. That alone is nearly worth the cost! To us, and we know to the members of the council aslo, the most gratifying aspect of the whole election was the number of persons who turned out vole, It showed the council that all of tiie people were behind them not just a bare majority. II will make their job of carrying out the wishes of the voters much easier. "Now Look, Jupe-" Anyone living in this section of the state will think at least twice before they go around making any snide comment about the rain that old Jupe riuvius has been dropping on the county par ticularly if they were to complain about getting too much. Normally, most people hold the old gent in pretty high respect, and are just a bit careful lest they say something that might offend him ,to the point that he might forget all about Morrow rvmnH for two or three months. We wouldn't do that for anything, and we kind of doubt that he is as tmiehv as some mit!ht think. From what we've heard him called by residents of some other sec tions of the slate, it appears to us that he has a pretty hard shell and is nearly immune to criti cism. vjo'tp (Toinf to be careful, iust the same, and merely suggest that if he has any more rain lined up for us that, if it doesn't make any difference to him, he save it tor a little wnue. mi wis wmiuu ful water he dropped on us this June has been mighty handy and it really helped out the wheat and the grass crop in fact it made it. "We're not complaining, mind you, Jupe, but now that your sprinkles have done the work, how about letting us get that wheat in the elevator? Don't give any rain away that you might have yet in store for us just save it, if it's all the same to you!"

WOULD OUST LIQUOR CHIEF A suit was filed this week in the Marion county circuit court seeking to force Governor McKay to dismiss Robert L. Elfstrom of Salem as liquor control commis sioner.

These cost studies show: 1. Milk could have been profitably priced an average of two cents lower by half the stores surveyed (most of them, independent stores) when sup plied by half the wholesalers studied. 2. A four cent saving could actually have been passed on to consumers by Portland's most efficient independent store, supplied by Portland's most efficient wholesaler.
