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!"

fPA Oregon Milk Con-
trol compels stores
to charge as much for cash-and-carry
milk as you pay for home
delivery a requirement in which
Oregon stands almost alone
among the 48 states.
A '
Among cities of Portland's size or
larger, 92 have lower prices for milk
bought in stores, with an average
saving of 1 yi cents a quart. Portland
is the only such City west of the
Mississippi where store and delivered
prices are the same. The six cities
where store customers save most are :
New York City 4c
Minneapolis , 4c
Washington, D. C 3c
Detroit 2c
Chicago 2jc
Kansas City 2ic
(U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, May, 1952)
Oregon Milk Control has not per
mitted the consumer to benefit from
such savings made possible by effi
cient distribution.
lowtr Itor priest or potliblt In
Portland, too
This fact was disclosed by Oregon
State College's two investigations of
distributing and retailing costs for the
Milk Control authorities published
in 1951 and 1952. 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.

The questions and answers below show some other ways in
which Oregon Milk Control affects YOU.
Q. Dom Milk Control limit th richnoti of milk?
A. Yt. The richness (butterfat content) of milk sold in each price range is
limited by the rulings of the Milk Administrator.
Q. Doot Milk Control lot tht prico you mutt pay?
A. Yo. That is the purpose for which the law was designed. It sets floor
prices, not ceiling prices.
Q. Doot Milk Control discourage compotitivo distribution of milk?
A. Y. No one can enter the milk business if the Administrator says such
new competition might disturb existing distributors.
Q. Doot tht Ortgon Milk Control law rogulatt Sanitary condiiiont?
A. No. It has absolutely nothing to do with the sanitation, health inspection,
cleanliness, or the purity of milk.
O. Doot Milk Control limit th tupply of Orad A milk?
A. Yo. To sell Grade A milk for your use a farmer must first get permission
from the Administrator. If he gets permission (aqd many do not), he is
given a quota. If he produces more he must often sell the surplus at a lower
price for cheese or other factory uses.
