TO THE
EDITOR. .
To the Editor:
Sometimes we feel as though
we live at the end of the oa
here in Heppner. Maybe so. out
it to not such a hill billy town
after alL
Tuesday evening after work I
went home, and the wind was
blowing quite hard. I went Into
my basement to do my weekly
washing. The noise of the wind
and the washing machine made
it impossible to hear fire sirens
or what have you.
After coming out of the base
ment to my back lawn, I could
mntnra MinninC? fit lUll
speed. Looking, up on the mil
behind my home, I saw the lire
wagons mopping up what was
left of a grass fire heading lor
Barratfs wheat field east of the
hospital.
Here I spent my time In a cool
basement not knowing how close
a fire was to my home, while
the volunteer fire boys were
sweating trying to protect We
and property.
Thanks, "fellows, and good
luck to all of you.

Beef Import Bill
Passed in House
Congressman Al Ullman an
nounced Tuesday that the com
promise version of the Beef Im
port Bill passed the House of
Representatives by a roll call
vote of 232-149.
Ullman said the House victory
"ended many long weeks of ard
uous efforts In putting together
a bill that will not disrupt in
ternational negotiations."
He predicted that the Senate
will give speedy approval and
that the President will sign the
bill.
The provisions of the bill,
worked out in conference, pro
vided for leveling beef imports
at the 1959-63 average, as strong
Iv endorsed by the American
National Cattlemen's Associa
tion. The formula provides that
auotas will be automatically
tricrfrprurl when imtorts rise be
yond the established level. It
rnvprs all fresh, chilled and
frozen beef and mutton.
In commending Chairman
Mills of the Wavs and Means
Committee. Ullman said during
debate that Mills "not only Kepi
his word by bringing an accep
table bill back from the Senate
House conference, but has work
ed out a formula that will satis
fy the needs of the domestic in
dustry. At the same time it will
not adversely affect foreign
trade negotiations, or In my
minion, raise consumer prices, i

taSomeone brought in this old
paper a long time ago, and we
didn't realize that it contained
the dope on the first county fair
until Ed Gonty happened to
drop in this morning, picked it
up and started reading it Then
Etta Parker came in and she
became real interested in it, too.
We had been talking with Ed
about how old Gonty's store Is
this in connection with the
"Meet Our Town" silhouette con
test now going on and he told
us that it was started in 1905.
Thus it is one of the oldest re
tail ctnres in town.
In the 1913 paper we also
see ads from Thomson Bros.,
general merchandise, which Ed
says has a longer history than
Gonty's, from Case Furniture
EARL JONES. Pendleton paint
contractor who has been doing
the painting at the Tupper
Guard Station construction, had
the misfortune of falling while
painting a church In Pendleton
some time ago and breaking
both ankles. He was released
from the hospital only recently
and Is still barely able to walk.
But this doesn't get him dwn.
He Is on the Job at Tupper. Larl
rigged up a rolling dollv that
stands some five ioet In the air.
He took the scat and back off an
old oak office chair and placed
it Inside the dolly's framework.
He has It rigged so he can put
the chair on any of three levels
Mrs. Jones pushes him around
In the dolly as he paints around
a room, and he moves the seat
to high or low levels as needed
to do the Job.
We wanted to get a picture of
him in anion In the unique con
trivance w hen we were out there
Friday but he wasn't avauaow

MARGARET KIRK, who has been
a busy lady at the high school
getting ready for the coming
year while Principal Gordon
Pratt has been at summer
session, was frantically trying
to figure out what to do about
football practices Wednesday.
Coach James Potter hadn't yet
arrived from New Plymouth.
Idaho, and first practice was set
for Thursday night (tonight).
Mrs. Kirk had discovered some
conflicts for next week's sched
uled grid practices ana neeueu
to get in touch with the coach.
Being a lot of help, we sug
gested to Margaret that she
would have to take charge of
first football practices and there
upon asked her what offense
she planned to use.
She didn't hesitate, declaring
that she would use a modified
Twith a flanker. So, if the new
coach should be delayed for a
while, look for some razzle
dazzle Heppner High football at
the start of this season.
