Everything about 4-H is Good Nothing but good thoughts come to mind when a person thinka of i ll clubs. Maybe the organization hu some faults, but they arent apparent outwardly. Their objectives are of the beat, their activities are construc tive and worthwhile, and they are constantly striving for better things for IL How can person find fault with their noble goals? This Is an organization where cooperation, enthusiasm. ain cere purpose and hard work prevail The members accomplish ments can readily be measured In individual achievement as well as In their croup activities. In Morrow county there are 318 members In 4-H. some of whom are enrolled in more than one local club, and 62 leaders are actively working with them. With leaders and members totaling nearly 400. this means that one out of every 12 persons in the county is participating In 4 II. a respectable percentage and one that could not fall to have Influence and impact on the county. The club is expanding all the time, and coincident with National 4-H week. September 26 to October 3. the club would like to enroll new members. The local clubs cover many fields as one can see by checking page 5 of section 2 of this paper. Clubs of particular Interest that are not now organized could be formed if a few young people decide that they would like to pursue this interest under the 4-H banner. This would be good time to call the county agent's office and tell them that youngsters In your family would like to sign up. Through the special section of this paper, special window displays in stores and special services and programs, 4-H clubs of the county are emphasizing 4-H week this week. We Join all other firms and organizations In the county In a salute t 4-H. We're mighty glad they are so strong and active in Morrow county, because their work certainly con tributes to making a better county. ' To those adults who know so well the meaning of 4-H and take so much time to work as leaders with the members goes a special word of commendation. The extension service which contributes so much to the 4-H program has been working under handicap here this year since one agent was removed on the budget cut, and the untimely death of Esther Klrmis took away her fine leadership. County Agent Nels Anderson has been carrying on, handling a multiplicity of chores including 4-H, and doing a good Job of it Now Miss Donna George has arrived to help with 4-H as well as home economics, and the program will get some new zest If one ever doubts the quality of leadership given In 4-H, all he has to do is see the members showing their project work, whether it be livestock, clothing or cooking, at the county fair. By their demeanor and their manner, as well as the quality of what they show, one can tell that the youngsters have received some excellent training and are on their way to responsible citizenship. And responsible citizenship in this broad land of ours was never more important than it is now. ll , . H If If - , I t .

WHILE WE'RE feeling a bit a TO THE EDITOR... Dear Sir: - Since coming to Heppner to perform the relief on the agency here. I have been noting with great interest some or trie line articles which have been ap pearing in the Gazette-Times Some people take a dally or weekly paper as a matter of course. I would not hesitate to say that you have a first-class paper and one which Heppner and in fact all of Morrow county can be proud or. In my travels for the Union Pacific and other roads, 1 nave worked in practically every state west of the Mississippi River and even in Anchorage, Alaska for a year. Sometimes in a town this size, youngsters growing up, about all in their minds Is to get to the big cities and really make a big splash. Let me say that I grew up in a town this size, Coalgate, Oklahoma, and have been klnda sorry ever since I left there. One can never go back things change too much. I went back after 25 years and only knew a couple of faces. - Around Heppner, you folks seem to have a little bit of everything, such as an ideal climate, never too hot or too cold. Also you have a lot more, like the trip we made yesterday up to Bull Prairie reservoir, beautiful country most all the way, and I caught my limit of trout. What more could a man ask. You have the most honest and friendly bunch of people around Heppner or any town I have been in in a long time. As I check out on September 24', I would like to leave you with just one line: You have a town that I should be very happy to spend my last ten years with the Union Pacific in. Also, I have handled with superinten dent's office to get this depot painted and hope to see the Paint gang in here before I leave. They can make a world of difference if we can get this place spruced up a bit Yours very truly, Grover T. O'Dell Acting Agent U.P.R.R. Co. To The Editor: cranky, we'll let you In on secret Attorney Herman Winter is moving next door to his present office in the Hotel Hepp ner building. Now this is some thing that he would like all his clients and friends to know, but he can't put an announcement In the paper about it That would be advertising (pardon me for using the naughty word!) and the Oreeon State Bar As sociation couldn't allow any of Its members to do anything that remotely resembles advertising. That's unethical They have advised Herman that he could mail notices to all of his ellenu (under their in terpretation of the term, by some ambiguous reasoning, that isn't advertising), or if the newspaper chooses to write a story about it and give free publicity, that s O. K. To the bar association, pub NOW. ON A nicer turn of events. We got a real nice letter from Mrs. Anne Sawyer of Hobart. Ind.. this week, one of several fine letters that came in this week incidentally. She writes: "l nMurned re cently from a visit In your won derful state, and had the pleas ure of buying one of your news papers while shopping in Hepp ner. I am a correspondent tor one of the area newspapers. My doss asked me. on my return from Oregon, what it was like out there. As a loke, I wrote this prose poem for him. He liked it so well to surprise me he had it published in a Der- iodical for local poets. He sug gested I send It to some Oregon newspaper. I have quite a few friends in Morrow county. It's my way of saying "Thank you to all the wonderful people in eastern Oregon. This Is how a Hoosier sees Oregon." OREGON What Is Oregon?

A NEW DENTIST came to town, as nice and professional a fellow as you will ever meet. Could he insert an announce ment in the paper to tell folks he was here? Oh, no, that would be advertising. He has to cool his heels until word gets around via the coffee shops (this isn't advertising, you see) or via word of mouth in other ways. We're all for this new dentist and like to see him here. He didn't come in to advertise a cut rate on pull ing teeth or to say that he was a better dentist than any other Oregon would decline some 40 dentist He just wanted to open percent.
