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

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.
