Your Newspoper
An Institution
October 1 through 8 has been set aside as
National Newspaper Week.
Its purpose is to call your attention to an In
stitution in which you have a much greater hand
and interest than probably most of you realize.
First of all a newspaper actually is an insti
tution and it makes no difference whether that
paper is daily, weekly or whatever. Most people
don't think of it as such, but even the definition
of the word "institution" in a popular dictionary
fits the role a newspaper takes In every commu
nity: "Institution Organization or society for
some public or social purpose ..."
A newspaper fits the definition perfectly for
its prime purpose for being is to keep the public
informed and advised of the happenings of Its
own community, state or nation. Those happen
ings may be common everyday occurances, they
may be laughable or they may be tragic, they
may be minor or they may effect every person of
the paper's community. Newspapers don't make
news, they only report what is happening leav
ing it up to the reader to decide for himseK wheth
er or how each news story or advertisement may
effect him. By only telling the story in its entirety
a newspaper provides the people of a free country
with information that can keep them free. If
there were no free press you nor I would know
only what our government, in all its many forms,
might want us to know. Restrictions, taxes, laws,
changes of all kinds could be made at the whim
of any leader and we would bow to them, as do
the citizens of many of the world's countries to
day. Once those restrictions are in effect it's next
to impossible to remove them, but here in Amer
ica because we have a free press, we know about
such happenings BEFORE they happen and are
therefore able to make our individual wishes or
dislikes known before it is too late.
That statement may sound theoretical and
far fetched, but in principal it holds true right
down to the smallest unit of government our
city or schools. Our local government works for
us and provides us with the things we want be
cause we know what it is doing at all times,
largely because of our newspaper.
Newspapers are not all-seeing or all-knowing
but they are honestly trying to serve the commu
nity in which they live to the best of the ability
of the men and women who run them and work
on them. A newspaper is your mouthpiece too, for
always its columns are open to your letters, ideas
and suggestions and always they are welcomed
here reenrdless of whether your thoughts may co
incide with ideas a newspaper editor may put
forth in his editorial columns. He expresses his
opinions and beliefs in those columns and through
them he also upholds your rignt to express yours,
The editor of a South Carolina newspaper re
cently summed up the value of a free press in
about as few words as we have seen it done. He
said, "Although the newspapers of the state each
have their own characteristics, reflecting gener
ally the communities they serve, there is one
transcending principle by which they live the
desire to serve what they honestly believe to be
the best interest of their communities, their state
and their nation . . . When the voice of the press
and the voice of the people join in a common cru
sade, public opinion that foundation of power
in our free nation reaches its greatest eff e'etive
ness." Yes, a newspaper is an Institution of learn
ing. Through it, and because it is free, we all
may know.

are under way by the
County Wheat Growers
Plans
Morrow
Association for the annual meet
ing of the Oregon Wheat Growers
League which will be held at
Pendleton on December 8, 9. 10.
Morrow county this year is host
for the annual meeting. They
chose Pendleton as the place for
the meeting as it was determined
that facilities for holding such
a meeting of that organization
were not sufficient at home.
While the annual meeting has
been hold in Heppner in past
years, membership has grown
and attendance at annual meet
ings Is a great deal more than
in the earlier years of the or
ganization.
At a meeting of the executive
committee Friday evening, re-'
sponsibilities for the meeting
were outlined. Officers met again
Tuesday afternoon to select com
mittees for the various respon
sibilities. Plans were also made
for the annual fall meeting of
the Morrow County Wheat Grow
ers Association which will be held
at the Lexington grange hall on
Saturday, Oct. 22.
Results of the wool referendum
held in August reveals that wool
producers approved a promotion
program for wool and lamb mer
keting. There was a close rela
tionship between the number of
individual producers voting fa
vorably and the vote according
to sheep numbers. The prelim
inary count indicated approval
of the plan by 72.2. Producers
owning 9,127,056 sheep voted in
favor of the program and owners
of 3,517,680 sheep voted against
it. Producers voting for the plan
totaled 47,095 reflecting a 71.2
favorable vote, 19,036 or "28.6
voted against.
As a result of this promotion
program, deductions of one cent
per pound from shorn wool pay
ments and 5 cents per hundred
pounds of live weight from lamb
and yearling payments will be
made from the 1955 payment to
be made in the summer of 1956.

Rom where I sit ... Joe Marsh
Shades of Tom Sawyer!
Hark Willis had just stopped
the tractor so's he could cool off
nt the pump, when a young insur
ance dalesman came up the drive.
Hark was tired of plowing, and
needed insurance on his new barn.
But he also needed to get that
winter rye in fast. The salesman,
an eager kid, noticed hesitation,
"I come from a farm," hesaid.
"Why don't you look at these
booklets get all the dope and
I'll take that plow a couple of
rounds for you."
Young fellow laid off a pretty
straight furrow, too. It was al
most dark before Hack sitting
in the shade was able to decide
just what kind of policy to get.
From where I sit, to be a good
salesman-or a good citizen-it
always helps to "put yourself in
the other man's place." He may
have a different sort of job with
different problems ... he may pre
fer to close a deal over, say, a
friendly glass of beer while you
might prefer something else. But
both of you can co-operate if you
make It a "policy" to try.

Letter To The Editor
THE SPORTSMAN'S CREED
I am very cordially in favor of
the Sportsman's Creed as desig
nated In the "Red Haf'stipulation
but it seems that some hunters
observe the creed only when buy
ing the license.
On Monday, October 3, some
person, I do not say sportsman,
went to my ranch north of Swag
gart Buttes, and with a jeep or
power wagon drove right over
the fence twice, mashing it flat
and dragging it partly down the
hill.
I know it was none of my
neighbors or farmer friends who
did that, for n0 farmer would do
it, in fact, I can't think of what
kind of a hunter would do that.
Then too, I know it was none
of my neighbors for they all know
the lay of the land at that place
and the type of sandy soil. It had
to be a fourwheel drive vehicle,
for where it went was sandy,
sidling and very steep, too steep
to farm. In fact it looked as if
they came near tipping over at
one point.
Apparently they did not see
the fence for they drove over it
once going into the Swaggart
place and again about a hun
dred yards distant, when they
came back into my place.
Ray Dolvin, who has stock,
keeps that fence repaired and he
is not going to like that kind of
sportsman.
