Consolidated February 15, 1912. O" NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION ROBERT TENLAND Editor and Publisher GRETCHEN PENLAND Associate Publisher NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION J L Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter. Subscription Rates: Morrow and Grant Counties, $3.00 Year; Elsewhere $4.00 Year. Single Copy 10 cents, One Year Just a year ago this week the present publish ers of the Gazette Times said "hello" to Heppner and published their first issue of the paper. The past year has been pleasant mighty pleasant, in fact it doesn't seem possible that it can have passed so quickly. The friendships and friendly relations we have enjoyed have truly made living and working here a pleasure. We stated when we took over that we were Koing to make every effort to give Morrow county residents what we felt would be a good news paper. Just how well we have succeeded is hard to ascertain, though the many compliments volun tarily sent to us make us feel that at least in a measure, we have given our readers what they want. We say "Thanks for those kind words." We know that not all our readers have agreed with all our editorials, nor have we expected It. Wo have made it a point, however, to confine our opinions to the editorials. The news pages iiave been, and shall continue to be strictly for news. The reader's opinions, too, are always wel come, whether or not they are in agreement with ours and the only strings we attach are that they be printable, of reasonably general interest and that they lie signed. Any newspaper must be the means of expressing not only the editor's ideas, but also those of his readers. It is interesting too, to look back over the past year at some of the changes that have taken place in the county. They come gradually and unless one stops to enumerate them he might think that nothing has been done, Far from it! Probably of greatest note Is the start on a sewer system for Heppner. It's important not only to local resi dents, but to people living downstream as well. We said nearly a year ago that Heppner needed more adequate fire protection. It has since gotten it. Attempts are being made, too, to add to the city's water supply. lone, Boardman and Irrigon, either have or are adding to school facilities, Heppner has yet to face that problem, but it is working on it. Road improvements are being made in many sections of the county, business houses have been changed and modernized and many new homes have been built. There have been other changes too, but that gives an idea. Some say nothing ever happens here. If you think that just look Morrow county has had murders, fatal car accidents, runaway freight trains, an inside-out baby that is alive and well, it exceeds its Red Cross quota, something few other counties did. There were many other hap penings too, both tragic and pleasant. We believe Morrow county received its share of notoriety. Yes, its been a full and a pleasant year and we're looking forward to many more, if we can continue to satisfy you, our readers. Come Back With many Oregon citizens getting ready for their first three-day holiday of the year this week end, traffic is certain to be heavy no matter where you may decide to travel. It's a certainty that at least a half-dozen persons will lose their lives in Oregon in traffic accidents before the start of another week. We all think "it can't be us", but it could be! As we write this word of caution we are reminded of an advertisment we have seen for several years just prior to July Fourth. Its wording, though short, should be warning enough and its intent, if observed, could keep this paper from having to publish a long list of survivors. It said simply COME BACK, ALIVE ON JULY FIVE. lone Topic Club Has Social Meet By Echo Palmatcer Bridge and pinochle were played at the social meeting of the Topic Club at the Masonic hall Satur day June 2H.

Lansing Said most holidays deaths stem from drivers who over estimate ability to control high speed. If drivers would plan shorter trips, concentrate on the job of driving, and allow plenty of time to reach destinations without speeding, the death toll would not be so high. One cause of accidents in rural areas, where three out of four traffic deaths occur, is a driver who pokes along at 35 or 40 miles an hour, forcing others to pass him, and who "remains blissfully unaware that he is as much a traffic hazard as the guy who flys low at 70 or 80 miles an hour," Lansing said. A check with the highway de partment engineers early this week indicated there will be no road construction work in pro gress over the holiday weekend unless an emergency, such as a slide, develops. This does not mean, however, that expreme caution will not be needed in areas where construction has been underway, Lansing said. Major road projects in the state are on the Columbia River high way near Cascade Locks and South of Reedsport on highway 101. o EXAMINER DUE A driver's license examiner will be on duty in Heppner Tuesday, July 8 at the court house between the hours of 9:30 and 3:30 ac cording to an announcement from the secretary of state's office.

AST "You say 1 don't have the right to start a milk business BECAUSE you first must get per mission. Everyone who distrib utes milk whethei as producer or wholesaler must be approved by Milk Control. Official regulations make it clear that no one will be permitted to enter the milk business if the Milk Administration says such new competition might disturb existing distributors. Milk Control decides which distributors, as well as which producers, shall be allowed to fill our needs. No one can go into the milk business simply because he sees an opportunity. He must get permission. Once in business he cannot extend his business beyond a certain definite territory without further permission. At the beginning of 1940 there were 766 distributors in Oregon. By 1950 their number had shrunk to 231 a loss of 70. Yet this was the same period during which our popula tion increased 40. Such rigid regulations prevent healthy competition which, in turn, could reduce milk prices just as it enables people to buy more of other foods. Shop Safeway... for fine foods at everyday low prices The questions and answers below show some other ways in which Oregon Milk Control affects YOU. Q. Doi Milk Control allow you lowor prlco whtn you carry milk homo yourtolf? A. No. You pay the higher costs of door-to-door delivery whether you use this service or not. Q. Doot Milk Control limit tho rlchnoii of milk? A. Yot. The richness (butterfat content) of mjlk sold in each price rang is limited by the rulings of the Milk Administrator. Q. Doot Milk Control sot tho prlco you must pay A. Yot. That is the purpose for which the law was designed. It sets floor prices, not ceiling prices. Q. Doot Iho Oregon Milk Control Law regulate Sanitary conditioni? A. No. It has absolutely nothing to do with the sanitation, health inspf-:-tion, cleanliness, or the purity of milk. N Q. Doot Milk Control limit tho supply of Grade A milk? A. Yet. To sell Grade A milk for your use a farmer must first get permission from the Administrator. If he gets permission (and many do not), he ir. given quota. If he produces more he must often sell the surplus a! a lower price for cheese or other factory uses. Send for this free booklet.
