You Should Buy Your Aspirin Here Where You Get A MRVICB TO TAXPAYER9 This may come a news to you, but aspirin is one of those drugs that may be of a deductible nature on your federal income tax return. But to claim it, you must be able to offer proof you bought it. When you buy it from us, you get that proof. But when you buy it at the corner grocery, or in a depart ment store, or in a restaurant, you are likely to forget about it. That goes for a lot of other things, too such as antiseptics, cough and cold preparations, laxatives, and so on. Our customers like to buy all of their drug supplies from us, because they know they will get the benefit of a complete record of all purchases of a deductible nature. Our customers get an annual statement (mailed in February) which tells them how much they spent on drugs of a deductible nature. It's called a DrugTax record, and we offer it to our customers free of charge. Next time you buy aspirin (or any drug item), be sure you're in a store that gives you a DrugTax record. Come income tax time, it can save you money.

Alvin Wagenblast Incorrectly Quoted The Gazette-Times erred last week in reporting that Alvin Wagenblast had signed a pet ition with other farmers indi cating opposition to the irriga tion feature of the Willow Creek dam.

The paper regrets any embarrassment that this er ror may have caused him. Too Late To Classify CARD OF THANKS Wo wisli to thank the many fiinnitu and neighbors who came lo our assistance (luring the fire at the lower ranch hauiraay Your quick response saved furth ni' 1 nc u Charles and Francis Carlson 47 -c Accident Blocks Condon Highway When a truck and trailer, loaded with chips, slowed down to pass an auto on the shoulder of the highway to Condon on the hill south of Heppner last Thurs day night, the trailer jack knifed on icy pavement and created a road block that lasted for five hours until it could be cleared. The big rig was proceeding north from Spray to Wallula with Glen A. Meek as driver. A car, driven by James Hayes ann headed south, had stopped on the highway shoulder while the driver was installing chains. Meek applied brakes to slow down in passing the car, but the trailer skidded on tne ice and pinned the car against the roadside bank. Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman and others went to the scene about 11:30 but it wasn't until 4 a.m. that they could extricate the vehicles. It was necessary to get a crawler-type tractor to do the job. There was little damage to either vehicle. The sheriff said that the highway was in very hazardous condition, almost un believable to those in town just a few miles away. Dee Cox Sailfish Displayed at Store No, the big mounted sail fish that you may have seen on display in the Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware window wasn't caught in Willow Creek. It is the prize of Dee Cox Jr. who caught it on a fishing trip to Acapulco, Mexico, on November 16. He had it mounted and the trophy ar rived just recently. The sailfish was landed after about a half-hour struggle and weighed 135 pounds. Mr. and Mrs. Cox took the trip with their son and daughter-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Cox, of Springvilie, Utah. Marvin also caught a sailfish but it wasn't as large as his dad's. Dee now doesn't know just what to do with the mounted fish but probably would bo willing to place it in a local public building for ornamen tation and display.
