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.

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

A new law goes into effect

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

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.

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."

"KEEP YOUR CREDIT GOOD"
I Mister, Will You Loan Me A Dime?
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.
Don't Force Your Merchant or Your Doctor To Go To The Bank To Borrow Money
To Finance Ycu.
