It appears to me that aome of their gain can easily be lost In this prewnt controversy over the RE. A, contract with the school which Mr. BUkney and the city council are In objection. The RE A. Is a l al business owned and controlled by these same rural people that Heppner business has been wooing and these aame rural people are help ing build the school which Is a Morrow County school not Jut a Heppner school The RE.A. was organtred to serve those ho were being re fused by the power compsny. Their main office Is In Heppner and their personnel live there, which surely must be more aid to Heppner business than the one man employed by the power company, which doesn't have a maintenance crew here. The Co-op not only brought to the rural people but also greatly helped the service In the towns on Willow creek. Most of P.P. L. Power for Heppner Is brought fivin BunneWU biuuiht Into the area on the tame line built by RCA. Until this RE A. was organised the sen tee here was ery pr.

This talk of duplication and fram-hl- seems to be more big power company pro p a g a n d a. They want to serve any place whrre they can make it tough on the RE A. like going into the Space Age Park at Boardman where there Is already Itt-A. and to the pumping station on the gas line south of lone.

It was prompted by some of my farm friends at the early Tuesday morning barn fire at the Harold wrignt rancn. Jokingly I was told to "pour it on" with a re minder that while it might not be fire season it is hard to pre dict when a fire might start. Making several calls Tuesday morning we found that either the spray rig was up in the field or was drained because it was going to freeze. Both are good reasons, but there was some con fusion for awhile looking for something to- fight fire with. Luckily an alert neighbor came by Just in time to report the fire and neighbors responded to the call before it had gotten too far along. But fires can break out at any time and it is always good to avoid the confusion of finding a tank to haul water with or filling a tank while the fire burns merrily along. Clark and family.
