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.

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.

OREGON MILK
CONTROL LAW
si. -v. 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.
