TO THE
EDITOR
Iwr Editor
for aoroe time w J5j pr-cr
butinesa has been advocating
more friendly relations with the
rural people In the surrounding
area. 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. The
Ufcu dim. the mill aa re
suicied on power, hot water
heaters were small and on clotk.
moturs turned out from M" volt
age, and outages were a common
thing.
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. The
latter site Is on my place with
REA. already there. This pump- j
Ing station Is to use a large I

comment is In order to be added
T u e a d a y morning. 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.
