HEPPNER GAZETTE TUT? uJ X GAZETTE-TIMES MOBROW COUNTY'S NEWSPAPER The Heppner Gazette, established Times established November 18, 1912. WESLEY A. SHERMAN Editor and Publisher PUtlllHIIf "ASSOCIATION Km Subscription Rates: Morrow County, $4.00 Year; Elsewhere $4.50 Year. Single Copy 10 Cents. Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, We're Behind Smokey It is the same old story that Smokey Bear tells over and over, "Be Careful with Fire." Now after an unusually moist summer season to date, it is time to repeat it and time for all to take heed. State forest lands now are closed to entry except by permit, and these may be obtained at the Chapin Creek guard station or at the Fossil headquarters. County roads remain open," but the family who, without a permit, takes a picnic lunch and leaves the road in a closed area to enjoy an outing at a creek running below is violating the order unless it happens to be in a stretch of national forest. The national forest is not closed, but fire regulations do apply. Those building fires outside of regular campgrounds must have shovel, bucket and other required tools. We are told that one reason that state forests are closed when national forests stay open is because the state does not have the personnel to adequately supervise fire prevention and handle suppression. It is a long distance from the Fossil headquarters to the end of their district here, and there are very few men to cover the ground. This makes it all the more important that the public cooperate to the best of its ability. Sometimes there is confusion about closure regulations. A neophyte in the woods may have trouble understanding whether he is in violation or not. Posters placed in closed areas dp have tacks on them to indicate the poster's position, however, and if the tack is in a red area, the person reading it may well know that he Is "off limits." The weather cycle seems to be running in recent years towards later springs and warmer fall seasons. Thus the greatest hazard from forest fires is in late summer, extending in dry years into hunting season when the forests have their heaviest use. Under the multiple use plan, the national forests are for the public to use and enjoy, but not to be desecrated nor destroyed. These forest lands at our southern back door are of great importance to us economically as well as recreationally. If you and yours use the forest lands wisely and carefully, all will smile at you, but if you are wanton and careless, may Smokey Bear's representative be watching you from behind the nearest tree!

WITNESS my hand and Seal of said Court this 30th day of July, 1963. Sadie Parrish, Clerk of the County Court of the State of Oregon for Morrow County (22-25c) Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman WITH CHUCK McLEAN, fire con trol officer of the Heppner Ranger district, we accomplished something Friday that we want ed to do for two years tour lookouts and installations and see at first hand work being done throughout the district. The day started at 8 a.m. and ended about 10 p.m. but it was revealing and rewarding. We were impressed with the morale and discipline of the crews, with the hustle they showed on their work, with the attention to de tail, and their state of prepared ness for fire. We'll go into this In articles that we will write as a result of the trip (the first in this paper). It will take some con siderable space to tell it all, but it is an interesting story and an important one. We asked for the whole cook's tour and got it, even to climbing the 105 ft. tower at Tamarack. As we neared the top there, though, the old legs started to turn to putty and the pit of the stomach started to sag, but Chuck chattered along about the different points to be seen and he never realized that we lelt like wrapping both arms around the handrail and hanging on for dear life. Dave Creswick, the lookout, runs up and down those steps like a mountain goat. But old terra firma felt mighty good to us after a brief stay in his small cubicle, Can vou imaeine staying up there in a lightning storm with the wind blowing so hard it blows panes out of the windows and buckles the metal sides, the whole thing swaying like a bird's nest at the end of a limb? We kind of figured on being done in after following Chuck all day but learned to our re gret early this week that he is in the hospital. It wasn't from any ill effects of this trip but another ailment, and we surely hope he recovers quickly. Organization and training ex-. emplified by the forest crews show that they have some good leaders at the top. WE HADN'T played golf for more than a year, but went out late Sunday and set a new course record we played nine holes without hitting a fairway more than three or four times. If all the balls we sowed in the creek and roughs grow, there will be golf ball trees all over the place come spring, and none of the members will ever have to buy any more. We made two mistakes: 1. We took the wife along. 2. We took young daughter along. Wife shows us up by dropping several tee shots right on the green, which is kind of a dis couraging thing to a guy who spends his spare time beating brush and wading in the mud looking for his elusive golf balls. Daughter says such innocent things as. "You go on, mommy, and I will slay with daddy to help him hunt." There must be some unnatural physical phenomenon, yet un discovered, that occurs when we attempt to shoot across the creek on No. 4. That ball will be soar ing along beautifully until it comes directly over the creek and then some strange force drags il straight clown to plop into the water. On the last attempt the elusive little pellet hit about the center of the creek and rolled into a little pocket deep under a big boulder. When we used the club head to try and pry it out, it went back deeper just like a craw-dad backing into its hole Finally we got a big pry pole to push over the sunken boulder. As we were pushing witn all our might, the thing slipped and we lunged into the creek. Later we were telling Dee Gribble (Over the Tee Cup) about our troubles losing balls (the wife never even put one in the rough!). "Do you mark them?" Dee in cmired helpfully, apparently in tending to sound a general alert to all members. We told her that we did they all have a big "smile" cut across them! Oh, we'll go back to try again, but next time, we'll be prepared. We'll have a swim suit, an axe, a crow bar, shovel, hip boots and a compass. WAYNE BRUBACHER, new coun ty school administrator, was seated in the restaurant eating breakfast. He was reading the morning paper as he ate. A big fellow came and sat be side him. Without looking up, Brubacher handed him one section of the paper. "Wouldja like the paper?" he asked. "Thanks," replied the big guy. Both spent several minutes en grossed in reading, ordering and eating. Brubacher finished the sports page. "Want the sports page?" he asked the big man. "Yeah, thanks." So it went through breakfast. Finally, when they both were about ready to depart the big one really saw Brubacher for the first time. "Say," said he, a light dawn ing in his eye, "Aren't you Wayne Brubacher!" "Yes, and you're " "Web Allison," replied the big fellow. Well, Web Allison, as many know, is writer for Ruralite, mag azine distributed here by Colum bia Basin Electric. He has done many stories about this area. He and Brubacher grew up to gether in Center, Colo., and they had not seen each other for 30 years until they happened to sit on adjoining stools in the local eatery. WHILE IN the office the other day, Betty Fulleton suddenly remembered that it was her an niversary. We were hoping, when she mentioned it, that Roice would remember, too, well know ing the failing that we husbands have. Betty went ahead and bought an anniversary present for hubby anyway but she didn't give it to him. She remembered later that she was a month early. It isn't until the same time in August. But that gives Roice plenty of warning. MRS. JIM (JEAN) Lovgren, head ed to a church camp with her son and young Jim Sherman and having Laura Lee Sumner and Rita Sumner along as passengers, spent Saturday night in Portland to take the gang to a show. They dined at the Imperial Hotel Cof fee Shop and were chatting gaily all the while. The waitress brushed another table and knocked a man's cane to the floor. Son Frankie hopped up and quickly retrieved it for him, then took his place again. Observing all the time was an elderly couple at another table. When this pair had fin ished eating, they stopped by the Lovgren group. The lady patted Frank and said to Jean, "My, what a fine family vou have! When so many are juvenile de linquents these days, it is good to see a family behave like this!" jean was a little surprised, but said, "We're from Eastern Ore gon and that's the way we raise them there!"

COUNTY RODEO B FAIR PAVILION HEPPNER MUSIC BY 0HIG' Over The Tee Cup By DEE GRIBBLE This week's news, golfwise, should be easy to write. There were 13 gals out to play" Tues day with LaFyrne Pratt in charge. Most 6's got LaFyrne a ball and lowest score on No. 1 ended in a toss between Vi Lan ham and myself, with Vi win ning. Did you know you could go swimming in Willow Creek? Well, Hazel Mahoney Is "living proof" of it. While helping her neighbor Helen Schaffitz get a ball on No. 3 (down by Corbin's bridge) the bank slid away and away went Hazel (and I mean all the way.) She swam up to the top and climbed out, much to the hysterical giggling of her companions. A quick trip home, shower, fresh clothes and back she came, finishing her nine with a 42. Heard yesterday Lillian Sweek made a hole-in-one teeing off of No. 8 She holed out on No. 7 green. You know Lillian, the No. 7 green is the hardest green to putt on the entire course.
