IIMHIIIIMII HI" "IN" I"" "Il"l"l"llll"f II I H I1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIM Spring Salute Looms as Happy Time The calendar said that spring officially began on March 20, but the chilly weather vehemently denied it. This week, however, it seems that spring is here in truth as well as in theory, and despite the traditional fickleness of April weather, the coming week-end promises to be fitting for Iieppner's "Salute to Spring." This looms as a gala affair with parade, comely queen and her court, style show, trampoline and unicycle acts, displays of new fashions and all the trimmings for a good time. In the evening the band carnival will offer good supper and plenty of fun and amusement for everyone. Itandall Peterson, spring salute chairman, has done an out standing job in working out details for the event, devoting a great deal of time to stage an attractive and worthwhile event. He deserves the commendation of all his fellow merchants. Heppner spreads out the welcome mat for its own and' all of its neighbors in this event and cordially invites everyone to come and give spring a hearty welcome. Our Oldest Business Marks Anniversary Forty-six years Is a long time for one man to stay in one business in the same town, but this is what W. C. (Claude) Cox has achieved at the Morrow County Creamery. besides congratulating him and members of his family who help in the business, this is an appropriate time to think of the importance of such industries in a community like ours. Not only do they produce goods that are enjoyed and benefit the public at large, but they stimulate payrolls that add to economic prosperity. They buy raw milk materials, and in the case of the creamery, this has brought thousands of dollars to patrons through purchases of butterfat. Cox, ex-Virginian, displays some of the qualities of which America was made in the operation of his business self re liance, independence, zeal, hard work, and a desire to achieve. Those who consider the future of our area and dream long ingly but rather futiiely of enticing big industry might well drop their sights a little and consider the possibility of small industries that we might attract, like the creamery, which in the aggregate, can become a solid and substantial backbone of a community. Welcome To New Readers The Gazette-Times staff not only joins the city in its "Salute to Spring," but also in a salute and welcome to our V22 new subscribers, added to its mailing list family in the past three weeks. Response was almost overwhelming to the special two-for-onc offer, and many relatives and friends are now receiving the paper for the first time, or placed back on the list alter an absence of several months or years . In addition, scores renewed tneir subscriptions during the period. The staff hopes it can continue to serve and new menus, as well as its old ones. mimiiiiiiimiiiMiiiiiM Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman Over The Tee Cup AT THIS SAD time of year, LATEST RAGE in clothing is the please its Riders Vie in Wrangler Playday Contests Points were added to previous scores of riders at the second of lour Wrangler Playdays Sunday ai me ciuus grounds.

Hevden, Stanfield. and nephew of Mrs. Loyal Park er, was one of 40 high school science and mathematics teach ers throughout the United States to receive grants for graduate study at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, for the 1962-63 year. lleyden is a member of the Henlev High school faculty hav ing taught there for the past three and one-half years. (income tax deadline Monday, April 16) comes disheartening word from the National Assoc iation of Manufacturers concern ing a glistening 30-ton heap of one million silver dollars on dis play at the 1962 World's Fair. This will evoke many such comments as, "Boy, if I only had that pile of dough!" But, says NAM, you wouldn't have most of it very long. You would hand over $856,910 for federal income taxes alone, if you had an average family of four. That would leave $143,01)0. They say that George Wash ington once threw a dollar across a river in Maryland, but he couldn't do it today if he were alive for the simple reason that a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to. Take that one million simol eons again: Do you know how long it would last paying the interest on the national debt? One hour and three minutes. The bad news for the taxpayer is that Uncle Sam expects taxes on individual incomes to provide 53 of the federal revenue. This means that tax collections must be made from them at the rate of 5 millions of dollars an hour, 24 hours per day, for the entire year. Where's poor old Joe Doakes gonna get it? SOMETIMES when we think of our national leaders and the expenditures they figure out for us we are reminded of Whistler as he saw his mother on her knees scrubbing the floor. "Good heavens!" cried he, "have you gone off your rocker?" w w PROUDLY WEARING a set of wings this week is Lois Win chester who just returned from Texas. She and Mr. Winchester visited their son who just re ceived wings as a supersonic let pilot. The son, Lt. Lowell Turner, bought a pair of wings for his mother, too, and we don't blame her for being proud. THE PHONE rang a couple of days ago. It was Dale blusher, manager of Pacitic JNortnwest Bell. Pendleton, calling. "Say, I don't know about our clipping bureau, but I want you to know that I read your paper!" he said Dale had noticed the item last week in this column hoping that a clipping bureau would forward our request for a couple of new phone books. By the time he called, Dale al ready had a couple of new direc tories in the mail. Carefully marked in one was the phone number of Creswick Mortuary in red. (We had complained that this number had worn or torn out in both our old books). Say, that is mighty fine ser vice! But it is going to be even better on April 28 when new di rectories for all number calling are distributed here. We said it would be two months in the previous article, but Dale cor rects us. We'll have the direc tories with new seven-digit num bers the last of this month. But fast as Mr. Slusher was, he wasn't the first to come up with a directory. Pacific Power and Light beat him. Fred Gimbel had a shiny new one here the next dav. having had an extra one kicking around. Another offer came trom iseine Doney, who, too, had a spare. Now we have more phone num bers at our fingertips than we can possibly dial. COMMUNITY U BILLBOARD Mr. and Mrs. Bob Brindle and daughters were in Baker over the week-end to the wedding of Bob's brother. Roger. Sunday they visited the Don Pyles, former Heppner residents.

RUGGLES Insurance Agency Heppner a Box 611 PH. 6-9625 i sweatshirt fad, and there has really been a run on tnem in io cal stores. Those who think the local merchant doesnt have a problem to keep adequately stocked, consider this: Bill Blake of Wilson's Men's Wear points out that he carries nine styles of sweatshirts, each in 15 colors, or 135 different. That wouldn't be so bad if they were all the same size, but they come in four sizes, meaning that there are 640 different ones! If you have a certain color, style and size in mind he ought to be able to fix you up if anyone can. NOT SO long ago we wrote an editorial suggesting that Hepp ner should have more adequate street signs, but we have started1 to realize the futility of such a campaign. While talking with Bill Cox, son of Claude, at the creamery this week, I asked him to give me the street location of the creamery in order to properly identify it in the story about their anniversary. A look of bewilderment crossed Bill's face. He turned and peered out the window and spotted a si en on a lieht pole. Then he turned back and announced tri umphantly, "Center Street!" He has only worked there 25 years, though. Like many Hepp nerites, he says street signs and names confuse him. 'When somebody says they live on such-and-such a street, I can't find them," declared he, "but if he savs he lives in the old Briggs house, I know right away where he is. Mrs. Everett Harshman, ac companied by her brother, Mrs. Kinnard McDaniel, Mrs, Irene Averil, and Mrs. Kenneth Batty were in Walla Walla, Wn., on business last week. By DEE GRIBBLE Tuesday found eight stalwart women out to play golf in not the warmest of weather. It's hard to outsmart the weather man these days, and it isn't the most fun to play when your hands feel like they belonged to some one else. Anyway, Kay, Bebe and Corkie planned the play for the day. Marie had low gross with 44, Bebe had the least putts with 13, and Kay had the least putts on number 6 (that is the new grass green and putting is different than on sand.) Poor Donna. She can't even sneak across the bridge on No. 5. She hit the only tree possible and her ball came all the way back (after rolling across the bridge.) Kay Anderson isn't given to strong language (out loud, that is) but Tuesday was a different matter. Welcome to the sorority! In spite of the cold, I hear that Bebe actually went into Willow Creek for her ball pass the Kleenex, Riley. Playing were Kay Robinson, Helen Schaffitz, Roberta Dough erty, Marie McQuarrie, Corkie Norene, Donna McCurdy, Bebe Munkers. Marie furnished the coffee for me (I stayed home to pass the Kleenex to Grib.) You lesson takers, don't fret John is prepared to teach for nine weeks to allow for bad weather or sickness, so keep your appointed time and take your lesson. Response has been excel lent. Golfers, please take a look in Turner, Van Marter and Bryant's window you will see a box of golf balls, and if you see your "brand" please take it. Hear where Jim Healy is so afraid Kal will pass him, that he's under medical care. Might practice the twist, Jim, along with the swings; it might be easier on the knees.
