Single Copy 10 Cents, Polio Vaccination Makes Sense Suppose someone took you aside and said: "You have an enemy who may waylay you and cripple you for life. But I know how you can stop this enemy. You'll have to act fast. It won't cost much money, and it will only take 180 se conds of your time." If you knew the facts were true you'd take him up on it, wouldn't you? Well, the facts are true. The enemy is paraly tic polio. If you're under 40 years old, you're a possible victim. If polio strikes, you may face a life shattered by disease and disability. There is no cure for paralytic polio, but there is a way to prevent it. The preventive is the Salk vaccine. It is safe and it works. Three properly spaced shots at CO seconds a shot gives you protection. Over 45,000 000 Americans have been smart enough to gft'this protection. But 60,000,000 in the susceptible age group have been foolhardy enough to neglect it. Don't be one of the foolhardy ones. The polio season starts soon. You still have time to safe guard yourself and your family if you act at once. Go to your doctor or your clinic now. Vaccinate before it's too late! ODD ENDS- Did you notice that funny stuff that-bothered your eyes last Tuesday? Just in case you'd for gotten, it was sunshine. The Sage of Sherman county, Giles French, said last week: "Anent Senator Morse's protest that Portland was being smeared: It does seem that city did a pretty good job itself, withuot sena torial aid." Heard someone remark last week, during the "unusual" Morrow county March sprinkles, "If I didn't know better, I'd swear I lived in Brookings." Portland night club patron was heard to say recently, "The mirror you are looking Into is the cleanest thing in town." From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Plans were recently completed steers are in the lead on daily for the morning glory control de monstration to be held at the Gar Swanson farm south of lone. A 16 acre field will contain forty two plots of various rates and ap plications of chemicals as well as tillage practices. When the morning glory Is in the bud stage various rates of application of 2,4-D Ammine, MCT and TBA will be applied. In the fall che micals steriants using Atlacide, Atlacide-2,4,D, Polybor chlorate, chleorea and DB granular will be checked reguarly and results noted. Recently I visited the coopera tive feeding trials at Milton car ried on through the extension ser vice and Umatilla Canning Com pany. Stilbestrol Implanted gains by quite a margin. Trials are being carried out on differ ent amounts of concentrate with pea vine silage, straw, alfalfa hay and grass straw. A field day is planned for later this spring when livestock feeders will be invited to see the results of the trial. Various levels of Stil bestrol and Synovex implants made during the feeding period will also be seen. STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thurs., Ttl., Sat..

From last weeks meat animals and wool review published weekly by Oregon State college the report shows that several stocker sales were made in Oregon last week. In Central Oregon,1150 head string of 450 to 500 pounds mostly choice steer calves sold at $23 per hundred pounds, with 3 shrink. Good and choice steer calves at auction points went as high as $21. Heifer calves ranged from $17.50 to $18. The first windbreak to be set out in Morrow county this spring was put out at the Max Barclay ranch in Sand Hollow last Wed nesday. The windbreak is a four row one with Caragana, Black Locust, Naking Cherry, American Plum and Austrian Pine. The windbreak is approximately 600 feet in length and protects the entire farmstead from south and westerly winds. Rows were spaced 12 feet agart for easy cul tivation. Moisture conditions THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times March 24, 1927 While there has been consider able interest manifest in the school bond election that took place Friday afternoon, the total vote was not as large as expect ed. When the vote was counted out of the total of 132, 88 favored the bonds and 44 were against the issue. So the proposed aldi-torium-gymnasium will be constructed. Harold Case arrived home the end of the week from Wallace, Idaho. Mrs. O. T. Ferguson departed Tuesday morning by auto for Lakeview, Oregon, where she will visit for a short time at the home of her daughter, Pat Healy and family made a trip to Pendleton on Saturday, returning on Sunday. Owen Leathers and Carey Has tings returned to Hardman Sun day from Antelope where they had been tagging sheep. Lewis King, brother of Mrs. Wm. Driscoll, was a visitor over Sunday with the Driscoll family here. Three hundred additional books received from the state library were placed on the shelves of the local library this week. i 4444 We will be hearing political kettle drums this time next year as the deadline approaches for candidates to file for May primaries.

To the Editor: Well, it is time to renew my subscription for my Heppner Gazette Times as the Heppner paper has been in our home all my 60 years of life. My father came to Morrow county In 1880 after being re leased from military service. He had served through the Civil War in the Illinois cavalry and in Ore. gon in 1879 was captain in the Barrack Indian war and on ar rival in Morrow county at the proposed county seat at Lexing ton he started to take the Hepp ner paper as soon as it was start ed and we have kept it ever since. I enjoy most the articles from the people as Bert Mason whom I have personally known all my life and he is a real authority of Morrow county and Eastern Oregon. Also read and enjoy every arti cle but always regret the passing of my old friends many, as Mrs. Campbell, helped raise me. D. B. Boone Rt. 1, Box 155 Roseburg, Oregon. also made last week for a wind break planting at the Elwynne Peck home on the suburbs of Lexington and at the Marcel Jones ranch soutli of Heppner.

Windbreaks planted now will be growing while you are thinking about putting one out. A number of farmers in Morrow county who have planted them during the past few years are beginning to enjoy their beauty and wind protection.

USE YOUR CREDIT TERMS TO SUIT YOU Ford's Tire Service Sunday evening members of the Rhea Creek 4-H livestock club studied fat shorthorn steer judg ing. A series of 37 colored slides pointing out the points to look for in fat shorthorn steers were shown. After the top and bot tom pairs were selected the class of four steers were put to gether and judged by the club members. Six of the seven mem. bers of this club were in attend ance and took part in the judg ing discussion as did their par ents and leaders, Wilbur Van Blokland and Frank Anderson. The club met at the Paul Webb farm on Rhea Creek. Recently the Morroy County Wheat Growers Association se lected a seed committee com posed of Kenneth Peck, Frank Anderson, Donald Peterson, Max Barclay and Kenneth Smouse. This county seed committee will meet from time to time to re view certified and clean seed from growers throughout the county. One of their first dutjes will be to locate clean fields of seed grains in the various com munities that might be available for farmers at harvest time. The committee was appointed as a recommendation of the produc tion and land use committee of the Motrow County Wheat Grow ers Assocition and from the an- nor Holmes next year is a story with a wide background, practi cally all background, with no one prepossessing the foreground just now. Philip Hitchcock, who lost to Douglas McKay in the May, 1956 primaries, started his campaign for the Republican nomination to nual meeting of Wheat League. the Oregon run against Governor Holmes be fore Holmes was sworn in as governor. He has kept up the drive. If McKay gets the tip to run against Hitchcock it would be a close scrap. State Treasurer Sig Unander, altho just reelected, might be per suaded to run for governor. He is one of the best GOP vote getters. He would not have to resign to run. If elected there would be another high office for the Re publicans to fill and a 100 per cent Republican Board of Control as he would appoint his successor. Secretary of State Mark Hat field, another top GOP vote getter coud have a free throw at the governor's chair. Giles French the sage of Moro has given Ore gonians enough free political belly laughs to elect him if the laughs would all vote for him. But they probably would un gratefully just keep on laughing. Past performances indicate that Congressman Walter Norblad would prefer to be governor of Oregon than to be in congress. His off again on again bid for governor last April and his near loose in November didn't please the pundits nor the rank and file t)f his party. Two Republican Senators who are taxation and ways and means buddies of long standing each have a heavy statewide and appreciative following are Sen. Howard Belton, Canby, who has been a member of the Oregon Senate for ten sessions, was president in 1945 and previously served one session in the House. The other is Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. who has served four sessions in the House, speaker In 1953, and is on his second term in the Senate. One Democrat who has been a top potential candidate for gov ernor for many years is not po tential just now, as against Gov ernor Holmes. The governor is keeping him busy as his legal and political advisor, meaning Orval Thompson, a former mem ber of the House and the Senate elected in a Republican county, at the time. State Senator Jean L. Lewis, Multnomah, has received many flattering accolades for her legis lative decisions, both from Re publican as well as Democratic members. The keen attorney politician has a startling and unusual following of women voters who want her to run for governor. It may become diffi cult to pacify them with a mere man for governor. Talk that Senator Waiter J. Pearson might run for the Democratic nomination for gov ernor is wild raving. The former state treasurer is a loyal friend of Governor Holmes. The same situation maintains with Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. Lew Wallace, Multnomah, who ran second to Bob Holmes in the primaries last May, says he has not given much consideration to entering the Democratic primar ies as a candidate to oppose Gov ernor Holmes. Our prediction is that this ex perienced gubernatorial candi date will be on the Democratic SLANTS FROM THE SESSION By Mrs. C. A. Tom The uninformed visitor to the State House this week might have come to the conclusion that we were conducting a youth Legislature. With spring vaca tion under way throughout most of the state we have been sur rounded by young visitors, and generously supplied with honor ary pages. Tuesday morning we were most pleasantly surprised by a visit from Mrs. America, Mrs. Chris Maletis of Portland, bhe was accorded the honors of the House and Senate, making a primary ballot next May with winner nf Eisenhower Demo- crats and assistance of Repub licans who want Holmes ana nis educational and power policies beaten. SHIPPERS AGITATED More than 250 members of the Pacific Northwest Shippers Ad isory Board met in Salem this week and unanimously resolved "that Senate Bill 274 would seri ously impair the flexibility of local freight and switching ser vice to meet changing shipper demands. The responsibility to specify what service snouiu main a matter of agreement be- j twppn ra ilroad and shipper. The: nnard stronclv oppose. Senate Bill 274." 1 short talk in each chamber. Her whole appearance and manner of speaking gave each woman in the room a thrill of vicarious pride. I know we were all completely satisfied that here is a woman of whom Oregon and the United States can happily say "That's our gal." One sentence from her talk particularly ap. pealed to me, "The nation is built in the home, child by child." Opposition is developing in Eastern Oregon to HB 481, relat ing to property taxes. It moves tax payments up three months, which would mean property taxes would have to be paid in August rather than November.
