TV-itus No newspaperman who is situated outside the Portland area can help but drool when he sees all the money coming to the portland and neigh boring papers from advertising of Oregon's newest plaything Television. Our tongues hang out too, when we look at all the full page ads extolling the virtues of the many different brands of TV sets, and we wonder when Heppner will get its first opportnuity to watch what the rest of the nation has been talking about for some time. We know there are many other residents of this area who are wondering the same thing, maybe not from such a selfish angle, but merely when they will be able to sit at home and enjoy it. To our knowledge there has been no actual engi neering check made in this section regarding the possibilities of TV reception, though it is obvious that the "down in the hole" location of Heppner, Lexington and lone will prevent reception of any kind at least until a station Is built In the Pasco area. How TV waves are going to react to our hills, it is hard to tell, though it might be that by some quirk they may bounce around enough to get down to us. It is more probable, however, that reception here will be similar to the system used at Astoria for receiving the Seattle station. In that case there is one master antennae located on a high point and the signals are "piped" to the Indi vidual homes. An indication of this comes from a local radio man who checked hilltops surrounding Heppner In in an effort to get FM reception which uses a siml. lar wavelength. The only point where it could be received was near the cross on top of the hill east of Heppner. Whether TV waves will react the same way, no one can say until some more sta tions get on the air. At the best, it looks as though it will be quite a while yet before we can join the nation's mil lions of TV watchers. There is one consolation though, at least Morrow county residents will remain normal human beings longer than some of the rest of the race who have had to completely change their living habits to conform with the requirements of TV watching. Another Tox Not Needed Another measure Oregon voters will decide up on November 4 is the proposed cigarette tax of three cents per pack which was passed by the legislature and then referred by petition. I he Dill was passed at a time when the legislature was groping for any conceivable source of tax revenue and it received the tacit approval of the cigarette wholesalers because it included a so-called fair trade clause which would, in effect, put an end to price cuttine on this item. The state's financial situation is not nearly so dark as It was thought to be at the time of the passage of this bill and we can see no need for an additional tax measure at the present time es pecially one which we feel is discriminatory. The nart we dislike the most, however, is tne price fixing section and for the same reasons that we support the measure which would allow a store differential in the price of milk. If a grocer or other dealer wants to reduce the price of a pack or a carton of cigarettes, that's his business, not the state's as we see it. Controls that hold prices down have some reason for existence, but we can see no excuse at all for controls which hold retail nrices up. It is our recommendation that the cigarette stamp tax revenue tax be defeated by voting 323 No. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson A number of Morrow County ranchers attending the Oregon Cattlemen's Ass'n sponsored range bull sale at Baker, Tues day, purchased bulls that will be a credit to their herds. The quality of cattle sold was ex cellent. Graded by Charles Kyd, Ex tension Animal Husbandryman, Washington State College and Jidge Tlppett, Cattleman of the Wallowa County, grades were tougher than any previous sale in Oregon. Consignors and buy ers agreed that grades given were about two places lower man in the Dast. Oualitv of the bulls were as good as the recent Burns sale where there were 4 A or l bulls of 95 bulls consigned to Baker, less than sixty were al lowed to sell. Of these there were only 8 "B plus" bulls, the rest be ing "B's" or "B-" with approxi mately 30 being sifted out. t Prices were down between V4 to 13 under last years average. Quality was higher. Buyers from our county were: Hynds Bros., DON'T FORGET THE Voter Registration Deadline Is October 4 ARE YOU REGISTERED? Dr. Edward K. Schaffitz, Optometrist Heppner Clinic Heppner Phone 3373 who brought the highest price per of three consigned Dy HotcnKiss Co. of Burns, along with a pen of two consigned by Frank Ander son, Heppner, One from Everett Harshman. Hardman and a bull consigned by Harley Hotchkiss, Burns; Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hal vorsen, lone, bought the Reserve Chamnion bull of the show con signed by Burrell Bros., Salem; Eb Hughes, Heppner, bought a bull consigned bv Frank Ander son, Heppner, and one consigned by Wm. Duff, Attams; Don ureen h"d. Hoonner. boucht two bulls consigned by Dallas Craber, of Heppner. Ed Tucker, who is a Morrow Countv operator but does not run his cattle here, purchased a bull consigned oy Koy KODin son Mr. Vernon. Morrow Countv I consigners were: Dallas Craber, Frank Anderson and Floyd Wor den, Heppner; Everett Harshman, Hardman and Batie P. Rand and Son, Irrigon. These toD purchases are an indication that our cattlemen still have faith in the cattle in dustry regardless of slack prices at this time. It is even more es sential that good quality cattle be raised if the margin of proiit is tn become smaller in the next few years. They say "the bull is half the herd". If this is the case, and I believe that is agreed, these buyers have done a good job in improving that halt tne nerd. Very successful was the North Morrow County Fair at Boardman last week.
