A BIG "NO' The vote of the people at Tuesday's special school site election made it plain enough that they didn't want any school located on the Cason pro perty, but it didn't solve many problems for the board. True, it eliminated from further consider ation the location the directors had chosen as the best for the purpose, but it didn't give them any thing very helpful to guide their future planning. The only guide they received from the vote was from the suggestion written on some of the voided ballots that they build on the land north of the present school, yet not even this can be done with out another election to approve its use for that purpose. Even the proceeding board had prev previously balked at this site because of the ex pense involved In moving a street and because of the insufficient area to meet the needs of the dis trict. The one thing that was decided, is that it Is a certainty that the children of the district will spend at least all of next year in temporary out side facilities and in crowded substandard rooms in the present building. Any chance of getting a new building ready for use for even a part of the next school year is now gone. But, the people who foot the bill and give the final word, have had their say on this plan, and they said "No." Now it's up to the board to figure out some other program that will both meet the needs of the students and the approval of the voters. Oh, for the life of a school director. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Morrow county's annual Con servation and better farming Prac tices tour this year will make stops at alfalra brome, alfalfa intermediate wheatgrass seed ing, 1952 "Conservation Man of the Year" farm, leveling, grass seeditig, stubble mulch farming, windbreak plantings and pasture seedings. The tour will begin at ii:30 a. in. and will travel by bus. Busses will be loaded at the county fairgrounds. The Hinton Creek and Eightmile communi ties will be visited in the fore noon; the North Heppner, Lexing lon 'and lone communities during the afternoon. The HeppnerMor row County Chamber of Com merce will be hosts again tills year for the noon lunch, It will be served at the fair pavilion at Heppner. Letters have gone in the mail this week to all farmers outlining the specific stops of the tour. Everyone is invited to at tend and observe the progressive conservation and better farming practices that are being carried on in Morrow county. With the damp weather of the past two weeks many of our hay men are wondering when there will be a break in the weather in order that they cut get their first crop of hay up. Such weather as we have been having the past ten days is ideal fur silage mak ing. Each year alfalfa grass be comes more popular. There are two reasons for this. One Is that it is very seldom that farmers get their first crop of hay up with out having it rained on; another is that the high protein content of grass legume silage Is be coming more popular as a live stock feed each year. When pro perly ensiled, alfalfa grass or any type of legume silage contains about all of the necessary nutri ents needed in feeding any type of livestock. A lot has been done , throughout, the entire country ballot. ATTACK CIVIL RIGHTS ACT Opponents of the civil rights bill passed by the 1953 legislature this week filed preliminary ref erendum petitions with Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry. The bill will become law July 21 unless the sponsors of the referendum get 23,375 signatures on their petitions. If they suc ceed, the bill would go on the November 1954 general election THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of Gazette Times May 31, 1923 iumi mmc l.. . rt f four-vear terms on ter, Ed Bennett and Stephen Irwin art ior io"rH" . returned home on Saturday from: the state tax commission will . . . -u! ...ooW- from a He was the onlv demnrrai . . the editorial content of the Blue rived n'- p.

A new law goes into effect June 21, which gives the gover- Charlie Chaplain and Jackie Coo- gan in "The Kid' about silage making during the past few years. It is very seldom that you can pick up a farm paper without reading about a new way to make ensilage. The last issue of the Oregon Farmer which is dated May 21, has two excellent articles on silage mak ing. One is concerned with al falfa grass silage making, the other with the same type of silage put in bales. Almost any kind of a silo to meet each farmers need can now lie constructed. One of the faults that many make in putting up alfalfa for silage is that they wait until it is ruined by drying out and being rained on several times before they de cide that they will convert it to silage. Most generally it is too dry for the best silage. Silage should be made directly from the It is the first referendum at tack against any bill passed by the recent legislature. The bill makes it illegal for public eat ing, lodging and amusement places to discriminate against any person because of his race or religion. An anti-discrimination ordinances was defeated in Portland in 1950 by a vote of 77,084 to 60,919. JUSTICE HAY MEMORIAL Justice Arthur D.

NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS Last September we announced on our programs that, because of the additional work and difficulties resulting from the increased number of people during the summer months who take dishonest advantage of our Student Rate of 50c, the Student Rate would be discontinued during that period of time. Since then we have been seeking a solution to this problem which would not place a burden on our regular young patrons who are not yet self-sustaining. We have decided that June, July and August, this student rate shall apply only to those whom we know to be eligible in our immediate area of the Hardman, lone, Lexington and Heppner Sshool.s. We suggest that even these students carry their Student Body Cards fr verification of their status for where doubt exists the adult rate shall be charged. This Sc Rate Is A Gift To The Students Granted Voluntarily by The Star rjheater' And May Be Discontinued At Any Time. Students found taking advantage of the rate or evicted from the theater for mis behavior of any kind will be deprived of the rate and may be Instrumental in causing it to be stopped for all the young people in the area.

GAS, GIN, FISH (?) DOUGH The Oregon Supreme Court this week upheld a verdict awarding zzz $11,100 for damages sustained in an auto accident bv a member of a fishing party. In the opinion Justice Walter L. Tooze wrote: "The record in this case points a clear picture of a convivial E: igroup of men on an outing, with all the accounterments and ex- tras generally considered neces- sary to a successful fishing trip. ! I It is almost a matter of com- mon knowledge that such fishing EE trips usually prove happy and EE successful ventures, unless and EE until someone spoils the party by EE deciding he wants to fish. -EE "They customarily do not ter- EE minate with such disasterous re- suits as occurred in this case." "This record affords but an- EE other example of the truism that alcohol and gasoline is a mixture fraught with danger." j GUARD AGAINST POLIO EE "Observe the usual good health rules and pay strict attention to precautions recommended by health authorities, your physician and the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis," the Oregon State Board of Health advises in this month's bulletin.

H Docs Your Merchant Smile When You Say, 'CHARGE IT? I U Have You Weakened or Lost Your Credit by Be-1 ing Over-Sold on Installment-Plan Buying? i smiled the "Please charge this to my account," said the lady. "With pleasure" meichant. Do you know of a more grand and glorious feeling than that? Confidence, was what she asked for. Merchandise and service, was the answer. When you are over-sold on installment-plan buying, you do not get this response from your merchant. DO YOU REALIZE: Do you realize that your grocer pays for his groceries once a week, or twice a month? Do you realize that virtually all merchants have to pay their bills every 30 clays. (When any of these merchants carries a customer over 30 days his books, his profit is gone, and he is losing money on his in vestment.) Do you realize that the gas and ser vice stations (or a lot of them) pay every time gas is dumped. Do you realize that your doctor, your hospital, and your druggist have to pay not only their whole sale bills but also their own per sonal bills every 30 days? Do you realize what it costs to send statements? (After the second statement is mailed out, it costs from 35c to 40c a statement? It is the handling charge that really counts, not the paper, the stamp, and the time it takes to send it out.) Why not quit taking advantage of your merchants and professional men, and co operate with them by paying your bills sooner, and thus help the financial rating of your trade area as well? By so doing, you keep your own credit good and you help your merchant and your Doctor to Keep their credit good also.
