In fact, lots of times we editors can't see an editorial subject unless It has to do with some great affair of state, the na tion, our country or community. That is all well and good, and such editorial izing certainly has its place, but we don't feel very profound this week, so we're going to take a light er approach to the problems of the world. We pro bably won't settle any of them, but we don't In tend to we did run into a few smart (?) sayings the other day, thought we might throw a couple of 'em in in place of any thoughty editorial, Probably be more interesting anyway! Ever noticed how dogs win friends and Influ ence people without reading books? when the kids sit down to continue eating. Nothing makes the younger generation seem so bad as having lost your membership in it. Now that we've become "civilized" and have television like the rest of the country, we wonder how long it is going to take us to learn to read again. A man will go a long way to save his face. A woman Just goes to the drugstore. Then there's the story of the baby sardine that was frightened by a submarine and went crying to its mother, "there, there, dear", soothed mama sardine. "Don't be upset. It's only a can of people." Effective sign on the outskirts of Flndlay, Ohio "Drive carefully. We have lots of children, but none to spare!" Mealtime is, as one overworked mother put it, Money doesn't talk these days. It joes without saying. The wouldn't-it-be-awful department: Just suppose we had power steering in the back seat. Our thought for the week Many tombstones are carved by chiseling in traffic. THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times June 18, 1925 Several young men from Hepp ner are leaving today for Camp Lewis, Washington where they will attend the Citizen's Training camp for 30 days. Those going are Jas. Thomson, Vawter Parker. Merle Beckett, Dick Wightman, Gerald Slocum and Jack Hynd.

Flynn has just finished such a survey in Grant county where a program has been set up for 40,000 acres. In Grant county, the bureau of entomology is con tributing 13 of the cost of the control program with the ranch ers contributing the other 23. From the number of reports coming in and the limited check ing that has been done, it ap pears that conditions were favor able for a good hatch and a heavy infestation of grasshappers this year. The infestations have been found in areas in the western part of the county where no In festations were reported last year. Bob Flynn, of the bureau There are several experiment station field days that are sche duled for this month. On June 17 & 18, this Friday and Saturday, the Eastern Oregon branch ex periment station at Union, will hold its field days to report latest research findings in livestock breeding & management and In crops production.

Quite a step forward has been taken in selecting hogs for fast gaining litters and ability to fin ish out.

The best yardstick for urban growth probably is the reports of public serving utility companies, The rural growth is reflected In 'district attorneys and wives of From where I sit ... 6y Joe Marsh Handle With Care Tractor are like horses-or mules in more wsys than one. They can be pretty tricky If you don't handle them right. Too many tractor accidents happen because of carelessness. The day grows hot and drowsy, the job grows monotonous -and bingo! Someone forgets to throt tle down when making a turn, or something, and there's a bad spill. Credit Slim Hartman's missus for the fact that there's never been tractor trouble on their place. Midway through every morning and afternoon she brings him snacks. "He'll stay on the alert," ahe says, "if I get him off the tractor for ten minutes." From where I sit, carelessness can cause plenty of harm in our ofT-the-joh personal lives, too. For Instance, suppose a neighbor pre fers a glass of beer with aupper. You might not shnre this particu lar preference with him but if you're careless about protecting hit right to choose, your own freedom of choice is in danger of being "plowed under." Copyright, l')55, United State Hrewers Foundation an opportunity to contract for sale of about 500 Columbia and Targhee ewes ranging from year lings to five-year-olds. Sales of animals from this outstanding flock can be closed for immedi ate delivery or contracts can be made for fall sales. A schedule shift from "range" to "farm flock" research projects is prompting the sale. Field days at the Pendleton branch experiment station is scheduled for June 23rd and 24th. On June 23rd, the Crow Pilot farm will be visited starting at 1:30 p. m. On June ittth the Hill & King Pilot farms and the station will be a subject of the tour. The tour begins at 9:30 that day. On June 27th, an all day field day is schedulde for the Sherman branch experiment station at Moro and 10 beef were exhibited. The 4-H hogs all graded choice I, which shows that these boys had selected the right kind of bred ing stock to turn out a product which graded the highest a mar ket hog can grade. Of the 10 steers exhibited, one was prime, 8 were choice and 1 good. There were only two prime steers in the show, with Morrow county having one of these. Four of the choice ani mals were pot "in the upper or high choice class. Steers going to this show were put on feed in Oc tober and November. Of the 15 lambs exhibited, seven schools, state, county and city records. Applying the gains percentage wise Portland is leading with the exception of two or three very small towns where some have tripled their population through lumbering operations. Portland leads in electric in stallations; in Salem telephones are increasing at the unusual rate of 100 a month, climbing from 11,000 in 1947 to the present 27,000; Albany and Corvallis are about tied for new water outlets with Springfield a close third; Lebanon shows growth in the in crease of gas outlets that is un equaled in the state. Reports of state departments and their state-wide branches, follow the trend of the utility records as far as population in dications are concehned. They also reveal that Northwestern Oregon and the Willamette Val ley rural areas have increased in population very rapidly within the past four years, and that Rose burg and Milwaukie have had increases in that period that do not show in utility business. NEW TAX BASES In a decision Wednesday the Oregon Supreme, Court ruled 4 to 2 that the 6 per cent limitation applies to a new tax base voted by the people. In its first decision on the mat ter, the high court ruled four weeks ago that local taxing units have the right to vote them selves new tax bases under a new constitutional amendment. A re hearing was sought by Portland School District No. 1 against the Multnomah County Tax Conser vation and Supervising Commis- assistant attorneys general. A dinner for the men and women at the institute is planned for Monday evening. A family picnic for all attend ing the institute is programmed for Tuesday evening. TO AID SMALL BUSINESSES After having been adopted by sub and standing committees of the senate, U. S. Senator Wayne Morse reported legislation which would raise loans for small busi ness from $150,000 to $250,000 and in distress areas would make available authority to grant ex tensions up to ten years. This legislation will help strengthen the ' hundreds of thousands of small businesses which, despite the fact that we have some giant corporations, axe the real backbone of our competi tive free enterprises society. It will help make it possible for small businesses to compete with the giants. Without a strong business community there can be no competitive economy. G. O. P. WOMEN ORGANIZING The membership of the Repub lican Women's Federation of Ore gon has nearly doubled the state membership and the number of clubs this year according to Mrs. Harry A. Pallady, state member ship chairman who conducted the drive. The State President of the RWFO and Mrs. Pallady are in Eastern Oregon this week to com plete organization of clubs in Hermiston and Athena. The state officers presented a hand-carved 15-inch elephant of juniper wood to the Milton-Freewater club as a prize ior wuuime "c membership drive. Mrs. H. C. Mansfield, club membership chairman was presented a blan ket as a reward. FREE ASTHMA CURE It took Robert Bob, 47-year-old Indian lifer at the state peniten tiary, just one week to cure his asthma. He enjoyed taking the cure. It was free and so was he. When he leaves tobacco alone, he says, his asthma gets better. In the prison there was too much tobacco around. It was too tempt ing for him, so he Just walked away and took a weeks outing in the hills of Silver Falls State Park. He returned to the prison Sun day of his own accord, a well but hungry man. Bob, who was convicted in 1937 for the death of his wife, was paroled last year but didn't like it "outside'' so he phoned two guards to come and get him as he Continued on Page 5 Although Morrow county has not been classed as a hog-produc ing area there are several farm ers who are becoming more in terested in hog-production and of course there are a lot of farmers that keep a brood sow or two There is beginning to be more In terest with a build-up of hog numbers throughout the entire United States. With this condi tion, it would be wise to push spring pigs so as to get ahead of the heavy marketing that would likely come this fall. Peak hog numbers seem to hit the latter part of September and in October, So if hog-growers can get their spring pigs on the market some time in August, they probably will get a better price than they would in September & October, Full feeding with a South-Feeder on pasture, if possible, is one way of getting more economical gains and will get the hogs ready for STAR THEATER, Heppner AdmUsion Prices: Adults 70c, Students 50c, Children 20c including Federal Excise Tax.
