(Story page 3) Columnist Describes Morrow as 'Remote' If you're living in Morrow county, you're living in a "re mote" section of Oregon. At least that's the way Neil Morgan, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, describes us in an article for warded to the editor of the Gazette-Times by Art Craw ford of San Jose, Cailf,. him self a former editor of the lo cal paper. "Morrow seems to be getting around," writes Mr. Crawford in a note penned on the clip ping. The columnist starts his article, apparently written while on a trip to Portland, with a comment on the lack of a district attorney race here: "When filings for the primary election closed this year in Morrow county, a remote Ore gon county more than 2000 square miles in size, no one Democrat or Republican had filed for district attorney. Of the county's fewer than 5000 residents, onjy three are law yers and none wanted the job." In another paragraph of the column, Morgan wrote, "East ern Oregon is the most em phatically rural sector remain ing on the Pacific Coast in these days of the migratory rush westward which some have called the continental tilt." Firemen Coiled Out To Small Grass Fire Heppner volunteer firem e n were called Wednesday after noon at 5:25 p.m. to put out a small grass fire at the end of Aiken street on the property of M. J. Struthers. The fire was started by a small boy planning to roast wieners over a bontire, Fiie Chief Charles Ruggles said. The firemen suppressed the fire in about 10 minutes time after It had burned a 100-foot square area. The chief said the most dam age was incurred by the rural fire truck itself when, during the blaze, a key on the pump shaft was sheared off and the clutch sleeve was split. This caused the clutch to freeze in pumping position and could not be shut off until the truck motor was turned off. Two mechanics were called from the Western Stales Fire Apparatus company at t ornelius and arrived here at 3:00 a.m. Thursday i today) to begin the repair job. Ruggles said the job required four hours to complete. The fire Wednesday is the first fire since July 18 when a similar grass fire started by youngsters was covered by the local fire men and caused little damage. Quick action by neighbors in calling in the alarm and keeping it under control until firemen arrived prevented spread to nearby buildings on the Struth ers and John Bergstrom property Registration Friday For Kindergarten Parents with kindergarten age children are urged to attend the open house and register their pre schoolers Friday, August 17 at the George house. The kinder garten rooms will be open from 2-1 p. m. and the registration fee is $10 w ith a charge of $7.50 per month payable in advance. Mrs. Key Tabor will teach the classes again this year.

Mr. Bonge's son, Ralph, gradua Jean Collins Has Operation Friday Jean Collins, 19, injured early Sunday morning, August 5, in an auto accident on the Sand hollow road, underwent an oper ation to her spine and nerves Friday in Good Samaritan hos pital, Portland. Later in the week-end she was feeling fine and was quite cheerful, her father, Bill Collins, said. A pinched nerve was causing partial paralysis of her legs, and this was relieved by the oper ation so that she now is able to move her legs and toes to some extent, Collins said. It is expected that she will regain complete movement. However, some concern is felt about poss ible damage to other nerves that control body functions, and it Will be three or four months be fore it can be ascertained if permanent damage was done. Doctors state that Miss Col lins will be hospitalized for a minimum of two months. Two screws were placed in her spine during the operation to correct damaged vertebrae, her father said. Don Stroeber, 24, driver of the auto in which Miss Collins was riding, suffered relatively minor nuns in tne accident, including a cut tendon. He ran barefooted some two miles for aid after the accident happened on S-curves on the gravel road. Jean would appreciate hearing from friends here while she is hospitalized, her father said.
