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."

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.

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

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.

TO THE
EDITOR .
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.

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

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

generously supplied with honor

More than 250 members of the
Pacific Northwest Shippers Ad

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.
