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!

Wes Sherman
NOW THAT we suddenly learn
that wavne uruDacner ana
family are going to leave us we
have a qualm of conscious.
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

Mrs. Webb, a resident of Lex

years with a daughter. Mrs. W.

as Leach General Merchandise
Store which she and her former
husband operated, to the Lex

At one time the Lexington
