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.

Mrs. Parker's Nephew
Gets College Grant
Harlan A. Hevden, son of Mr.
uul Mrs. A. C. 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?"

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.

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.
