Grocery Truck
Spills Near lone;
Driver Unhurt
A large semi-trailer truck,
owned by Hudson House and
coming from The Dalles, over
turned after rounding a curve
on highway 74 south of lone
Wednesday morning, but the
driver, Richard (Dutch) Bradford
of The Dalles, was unhurt.
Bradford had made a stop at
Hicks Market in lone to unload
groceries and was proceeding on
to Heppner to serve stores nere.
His truck came over a rise near
Jordan and a rear wheel appar
ently edged off the pavement at
a spot where there is virtually
no shoulder. This caused the
trailer to veer and the wheels
pulled it on down an embank
ment, causing it to flip and over
turning the tractor portion of
the rig with It.
It came to rest on its side be
tween the highway and the rail
road track with only the nose of
the truck jutting on to the high
way. Bradford climbed out a win
dow on the driver's side, stating
that his first thought was that
the truck's tanks of gasoline
might be ignited. Gasoline ran
from the tanks to form a pool
below the truck, and sometime
after the accident a fire truck
from lone was summoned to wet
it down and prevent possibility
of fire.
The big trailer carried about
a half-load of groceries when it
overturned. They did not appear
to be seriously damaged, and
another truck was summoned
from The Dalles to take them
on to Heppner where they were
delivered later in the day.
Bradford said that he had
been driving for some 20 years
and this was his first major
accident.

Traditionally sponsored here

Easter egg hunt for children

Pre-school children will hunt

each of the hunting grounds.
The candy eggs will each be
cellophane wrapped for the
first time this year, and the
cream eggs will be wrapped in
foil.
There will be no major prizes
given this year because of the
disappointment it brings to
many, Flat said. Rather, how
ever, small coins will be at
tached to some of the eggs to
give some added incentive and
joy to the youngsters.

Creswicks Eye
Bowl Lanes;
Initiate Survey
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Creswick
have announced that they are
"seriously engaged" in working
out plans for opening of bowling
lanes in Heppner and will make
an announcement more in detail
when arrangements are complet
ed. At the present time they are
negotiating on a possible loca
tion in downtown Heppner and
are dealing with a bowiing
equipment manufacturer.
At this point, Creswick said,
they need an evidence of inter
est from the public before com
pleting their plans. To this end,
they are running an advertise
ment in this issue of the Gazette
Times (on page 4), which cur
tains a coupon that all interested
are asked to fill out and return
to them.
As contemplated, the lanes
would contain eight alleys and
would be sanctioned by the ABC
for local, regional and national
tournament standing. It ss ex
pected that the equipment
would come from a nationally
known manufacturer and would
be fully approved for league
play.
Creswick said that he needs to
know how many in the area will
be interested in bowling, both tor
recreation and in league play.
The coupon a'sks these ques
tions and invites other remarks
and comments from the public.
Many in the community have
been seeking a bowling lanes for
a long time. Recently it was pro
posed that the city build a rec
reation center to house lanes
and a motion picture theater to
be leased to private individuals,
but this was declared to be il
legal. ..' - ..C
The Creswicks Would apprec
iate a prompt response from all
interested . on this informal sur
vev and stress that names and
addresses would help in their
planning because of . knowing
areas from which play wouiu
come. They point out, however,
that there is no commitment of
any kind on the part of those
sending replies via the coupon.

(Editor's Note: Following the custom established by the
Gazette-Times last year, another local minister has been asked
to write an article concerning our great religious holidays.

Easter-Unique in Christian Faith
By THE REV. MELVIN DIXON
Pastor, Heppner Methodist Church
Easter is both historical fact and contemporary experience!
The fact of the Risen Savior gives credence to the uniqueness
of the Christian faith; and the reality of contemporary Christian
experience is the continuing demonstration that Christ lives!
Lest we lose sight of the deepest significance of this immortal
day, we need to be reminded that Easter primarily is more than
prettiness and Fifth Avenue parades, but the commemoration of
Life over Death, of victory over apparent defeat. Easter is more
than anesthetics; it is dynamics! And when the power of the
resurrected Christ is permitted into the hearts and lives of true
believers, the continuity of God's love and grace is expressed in
Eternal dimension.
Immortality, then, is more than life after death. It Is Life,
here and now. And this life Is In Christ: He who does not have
Christ, through repentance, forgiveness, and faith, does not have
Life. But he who has Christ has Life! For this Life is in the
Son of God. Herein lies the genius of the Gospel: that the Risen.
Christ will reproduce a miniature Easter in the heart of any in
dividual who sincerely seeks God.
The darkness of our own personal "Good Fridays" of defeat
and failures are swept away by faith In the Living Lord. God's
goodness Is ratified and Easter becomes also more than a mem
orial: it is the message that He Lives evermore.
"You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart!"
