Our City Could Be Even More Beautiful A biff round moon smiled down front a deep blue sky In gathering dusK one looked to the southeast from Heppner Hlch school the other evenln It eemed to be suspended Just few hundred feet above rioneer Memorial hospital, which stood proudly on lu vantage point overlooking the city of Heppner. From the high school one could see portions of th city nestled among the round brown hills that guard It on three aides with Hinton and Willow Creek canyons cutting through them In the distance. What a beautiful sight! What a picturesque setting for a city Heppner Is a beautiful city and one that should make all Its residents proud. But it could be even more beautiful. When one comes down from a vantage point and starts to look more closely, he notices old car bodies dumped on vacant lots and on hillsides. There are a few ramshackle buildings around that are fire hazards and nuisances. The Willow Creek channel becomes a dumping ground for all manner of debris and litter when It could with a little work and attention become a veritable park running through the dty. Junk Is scattered In some portions of the town, and there are some areas needing a cleanup Just off the business section. One resident came to the council meeting Monday night to call the matter to the attention of the city dads. A second Joined in by reporting an unsightly condition In another neigh borhood. The city has a nuisance ordinance that prohibits conditions which are hazardous or detrimental to the public health or welfare. There Is some question on whether It is broad enough to cover the conditions mentioned above. But it Isn't so much a question of law as it Is of civic pride. Our police force Isn't large enough to begin to apprehend all those who engage in "litter bugging" In one form or an other. And neighbors are reluctant to file complaints against neighbors who are observed cluttering the city. The best answer is to arouse a greater public consciousness of the need to make our city attractive. It Isn't a matter of pride alone, for it Involves property values and the potential to attract new families and business enterprises with conse quent greater prosperity for alL Dangers of the Detour Closure of the Main Street bridge for reconstruction for the next months means that traffic will be detoured via Church and Gale streets for that length of time. This will bring some additional hazards to the residential area in that section of town because of the increased traffic that the side streets will bear. Gene Pierce brought the matter to the attention of the council Monday night, pointing out that there are many children in the neighborhood, and they are not accustomed to heavy traffic. On one recent day he counted 20 children playing beside the Episcopal church, and not infrequently does one dart out into the street While the detour is being used, heavy trucks will be traveling the route. Should a child run out Into the street ahead of such a vehicle tragedy could result On Sundays many cars are parked around the Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic churches, all clustered in the same approximate location. Angle parking leaves room for only one lane of traffic. It would seem that parallel parking should be invoked voluntarily by churchgoer? "lor the duration" to help alleviate congestion and potential accidents. All motorists using the detour are urged to use caution and a 15 mile per hour speed should be the maximum In the area. Parents, too, should be aware of the hazard and keep small children out of the streets! tt uaa hnrv reunion fr nunv old time friends Saturday .. k.... traifli.t Iiim? dlK .nM i. iirntt the annual Mrmw County Memorial Day Reunion pUHK" at th tit r .in.,.

Surely he didn't take us serious ly on all the ribbing we gave him about his shiny bald head? If that had anything to do with it. Wayne, we'll consider letting you give us a pig shave, if you'll stay. GILES FRENCH of Moro is turn ing out to be a real versatile ' fellow. He is truly a weekly newspaperman, even though he has sold his Sherman County Journal to Dan Bartlett. Giles still writes the editorials there and continues his pithy column, "These Things We Note." He is up to his ears in pol itics, running for state senator from our 18th district, and will oppose incumbent Ben Musa in the fall. And now we learn that he has written a book, published by Binfords and Mort of Portland, "Cattle Country of Peter French." It was due as of June 1 but, wo havp not vft seen a CODV. ' Giles was in Heppner on busi ness the other day and dropped in for a chat. He said that he wanted to write the book, about Cattleman Peter French and his contemporaries, with historical realism and to leave out extrava gant yarns that have been told and written about men of the Old West. He wasn't even anxious to use many pictures in the book but the publishers insisted on it, so the 170 pages of Wt is illus trated with a sood many photo graphs. Speaking of the early cattle men. Giles declares, "They were not heroes or demons; they qual ified for neither role. The pop ular depiction of them a dis torted one. Those riders were nprml not pods on horseback and they faced the same personal proDiems as tn it granasons, who now daily head for shop or office." Written by a man who knows how to express himsell succinc tly and vividly, this should be a rfal cnod book and a contri bution to the historical record of eastern Oregon, an area that seems to be quite aeiicient. THARI.TK RIIfifiLES riroDDed over this morning to show us what hail does to growing wheat. He had a clump that he had nnlloH urhilo nut adiiiKtini? an insurance claim after Monday's storm. Most oi tne aeveioping heads were broken off cleanly, leaving only stub ends. Other stalks had been hit and were fractured. Heads that remain, if they have been struck with tne hailctnnps will turn white and are ruined. It's just hard to im atrinf how Kpver some of those freakish storms can be. FRANK TURNER MADE a little talk at Chamber of Commerce the other day about the C of C brochures. He said they need to be distributed more extensively. Maybe it was just the way he said it but when Frank made the following comment it brought a hearty laugh: - "When I read this brochure myself, I feel much better about the county." Mr. and Mrs. Don Hevener and son Brian, arrived Monday to spend a week with Mrs. Hev ener's parents, the Salings. i Funeral Held n California or Mrs. Webb i moral crvirp WPrA held Tuesday.
