Unbeknownst to most people, a new state law
will go into effect this month which will do
much to control itinerate peddlers who frequently
work this area, cither legitimately or otherwise.
It requires any person who desires to sell any
item, except produce which he himself grows
from the soil of Oregon, or at wholesale, to pur
chase a license from the treasurer of every county
in which he wishes to sell his merchandise. If he
plans to walk to hawk his wares on foot, his per
mit will cost him only $25 per year, but if he
drives any sort of conveyance it will be $100. In
addition he must post a bond equal to the amount
of the license which will be held by the county to
satisfy any claim:; against the peddler by his cust
om ?rs or other persons.
The title "Peddler", according to the law,
means every person who, for himself or as an
agent of another, goes from place to place or
from house to house, carrying for sale and offer
ing or exposing for sale any goods, wares or
merchandise, or who offers to sell from catalog
or sample, at retail to individual purchasers who
arp not dealers in the articles sold.
In other words, the law applies to all "route"
men,, salesmen and peddlers of any type ofj
merchandise except farmproduce grown by the
seller himself. It was written for the protection j
of the public, end it will be up to the public to(
reoort immediately any such peddler. He may be i
perfectly legitimate, or he may not, but if he;
doesn't have a county license, 10 cnances to one,
there's a catch somewhere In what he is selling.

Did you ever sec such a summer for screwy
weather. This last week has felt like October
rather than the first of August. Wonder when
summer's coming?
o
Facelifting and redecorating has been quite
prevalent around Heppner this summer and it's
really surprising what a little paint can do, Isn't
it. It's good for a town to go on a painting and
fixing-up spree once in a while, gives everybody a
little lift that they can use about this time of the
year, Just before harvest is over and the money
starts to circulate again.

County Agent's Office

Three weeks from the time that
this is being written we will be
well into our annual county fair.
It starts this year one day earlier
and ends one day earlier because
of a conflict with the Shrine foot
ball game at Pendleton. Four-H
club activities will get under way
on Tuesday, August 27 with open
class exhibits in place Wednes
day morning, the 28th with all
activities to end on Friday after
noon, August 30. Because of this
schedule many of the 4-H club
activities will be advanced one
day. The 4-H style revue there
fore will be held on Wednesday
night, August 28 and the 4-H club
auction sale on Thursday night
August 29. This will leave Friday
evening, August 30 open for the
annual evening rodeo which will
be changed to avoid conflict with
the Saturday night football game
With the closeness of fair we
would like to remind everyone to
begin thinking seriously of the
exhibits they are going to make.
Many of your exhibits can be
.selected now. We hope that there
will be an increase in quality and
quantity of exhibits over 1950,
which was the best year yet.

the country purchased one of the
top Suffolk rams of this sale as
his flock ram. One of the top
rams to go through the sale was
consigned by Eldon Riddel, prom

excellent Southdown ewes and a

An Eldon Riddel Southdown ram
was purchased to go with these

outstanding that I have yet to

ram which is for sale t&
anyone who might like a ram
of this breed. My guess is that

Almost every week a new name
for the Republican nomination
for governor gets on the grape
vine circuit of popularity around
the Capitol.
This weJk it is Ray Smith
whose friends correlate his fit

political success, they emphasize.
He has a natural aptitude for
making friends and knows how to
avoid making enemies even in
difficult circumstances. He is in
a strategic position, as secretary
of the Republican State Central
Committee, to know what Is do-

ECONOMY TEST
-CHEVROLET!
Drive the car that recorded up to
17 greater fuel savings in a con
clusive transcontinental economy
test of the three leading low-priced
cars sanctioned and certified by
NATA. Running from Los Angeles
to New York, Chevy proved that it
costs least to operate of all three!
It just goes to prove that Chevy
offers more of the important' things
that make for happier driving.
Remarkable pep and handling ease;
that kind of road-holding ability
usually associated with sports cars;
and, to round it off nicely, outstand
ing economy. Drive one soon at your
Chevrolet dealer's.
