SiniU Copy 10 Cents, publish.-! Every Thursday and Fntered at the IV I Office at tleppnt r. Oregon a Second CUm Hatter. Controlling the Itinerant Peddler Heppner' city council, at Its past two meetings, ha been considering hat to dn about the problem of the Itinerant peddler. The matter wa broached by District Attorney Herman Winter who told of some case whet outside majailne sale, men had given bad check while operating here or had altered checks given them In payment for the magarlne. There are typo of Itinerants, other than magazine talesmen, who are In the category of nuisance and need to be controlled. At the same time, there are responsible outsider who come to thla area who have reputable offert of real benefit and Interest to our people. It la a difficult Job to prohibit the nuisance by law without closing the dor to the one the community might welcome. The council ha been discussing a Green River-type ordinance, which would declare peddlers a nuisance, but this has not found favor because of the fact that It seemingly doe not discriminate among those who come from the outside to call at local residence the welcome from the unwelcome. There Is some concern, too. that It would throttle local group whose actlvltie are In the nature of charitable or service enterprises, such as the magazine campaign sponsored annually by the high school junior class, the lone Lions' broom sale, and other. U Interpreted literally, such an ordinance might even prohibit a local paperboy from soliciting new sub scriptions. Itinerant salesmen going to residence In Heppner are now supposed to obtain a permit at city hall, but the charge of such a permit Is only $1, and the Information given for the record Is so sparse that it Is of little value in getting on the trail of an unscrupulous peddler w ho Is guilty of violations. Chief of Police Dean Gilman believes that a more complete identification and perhaps a higher permit fee would be helpful in curbing the nuisance. Another approach under consideration would be to establish a business or occupational license system. Under such a system, all businesses would pay an annual license fee, but for those established local businesses It would be only a nominal sum. while the Itinerant would be asked to pay considerably more for the privilege of working the area. This would be enough to dampen the enthusiasm of those w ho would prey on the public. Still another possibility would be to require the itinerant to post bond to assure his good Intentions. There have been some classic examples around the state of transient racketeers who have duped unsuspecting Individuals. One such was the case of an elderly woman in Dallas who drew J1000 out of her bank account to pay two men for a 15-minute fumigation of her home that allegedly was to rid it of termites. They had frightened her into believing that her house was about to be destroyed by the termites. There were none, and she discovered that she had been victimized for $1000 by the human termites. Heppner should have some protection against the unscrup ' ulous intinerant so designed that it would not jeopardize the ' honest and reliable established salesmen who call in the com munity. City Attorney Robert Abrams Is continuing to investigate for a good solution, and any persons with thoughts on the matter might contact him or a councilman. In the meantime, the public should be wary of the glib tongued door knocker with some glowing proposition, to be sure that he has a bona fide offer. The surest way is to buy it at home, from the businessman you know, whether it is roofing, siding, a magazine subscription, or even fumigation for termites. You can be sure the local busi nessman won't raise the check you give him, and if he did, you would know right where to go to nab him for it Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman IIOVV DO TWO MI'S, who aren't the dfenUe sou ! and rV4-r Oitnu'tt Wright lime. rhim. hinj;un u rai tain f the 41 .

He said he has Two Students Get Perfect Grades At Heppner High 'Winter Blunderland' With the excitement of the election behind, Oregonians are already caught up in the winter round of activities parties, holidays, skiing, fishing and hunting trips, football and basket ball While the public looks to this season as one of Increased pleasurable activities, the Traffic Safety and Education Division of the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles is girding for the annual two-month period which produces such an orgy of auto accidents it has been dubbed "winter blunderland" by safety officials. November and December with their holiday activity and winter weather are the two most dangerous months of the year to be on the streets and highways, either as a driver, passenger or pedestrian. In November and December, 1963, Oregon suffered 13,322 traffic accidents. If this rate had held throughout the other j, 10 months of the year, the state would have racked up 80,000 .! accidents instead c the 66,000 that actually occurred. As for injuries suffered in the two holiday-packed months, there were 4,836 last year. Projected on an annual basis this rate would have given Oregon a total of 29,000 traffic injuries nearly 5,000 more than the actual figure of 24,000. The Traffic Safety and Education Division points out a few facts on holiday follies: one-half of the fatal accidents happen within 10 miles of home; two-thirds of the fatal accidents happen within 25 miles of home; and, only seven percent happen more than 250 miles from home. These figures point up that it isn't long trips that are the main killers, it's the short jaunts around the neighborhood on familiar streets that result in death and damage. Seat belts should be worn anytime you get into your car even to take tne cmidren to school or church, or for that quick trip to the store. Danger is waiting around every corner. A recent study shows that more than 40 percent of those killedi in winter accidents could have been saved if the victims had been wearing their seat belts. Here are some good tips from the division on how to stay out of "Winter Blunderland": Have your car checked now for brakes, muffler, windshield wipers, lights, tires, battery, lubrication and chains. Be sure - all equipment is ready for winter. Be clear-sighted. Take a few minutes to clear the entire windshield, side and back windows before starting. Start gently on slippery pavements. Be on the alert for pavements made slick by wet leaves as well as ice, snow and rain. Abrupt starts and stops or lane changes on slippery pave ment can throw you into a skid. Don't follow too close. The car ahead may make a sudden stop on a patch of dry pavement, and you'll skid into him if you try to stop on wet, icy or snowy surfaces. Reduce your speed for winter. Posted speeds are for dry pave ment under good visibility. In winter it gets dark sooner and stays dark longer. Use your headlights, not parking lights, to enable other drivers to see you. Carbon monoxide is an insidious killer. Don't drive with all your windows closed. Leave one window open enough to keep fresh air circulating. One other point the division makes: the odds are already against you when you're on the streets during November and even ments. But this revealing look at the domestic scene shows the pathetic condition of a people who do not have the incentive of free enterprise. It is quite evident that the communists are sacriflc 1 n g everything else In their desire to achieve world domination, and the common man there Is coming out the loser. If they were given an intimate glimpse ot our xarms and ranches, such as Bieasoe has brought of theirs, they would probably dismiss it as capitalistic propaganda. Bledsoe's presentation would be excellent to be shown to all high schools and colleges in America where our students may be a bit confused about the true picture in Russia. , DEMONSTRATION MEETING for another Carneeie class in I Heppner will be Tuesday night, November 17, in the Episcopal parish hall. The course empha sizes public relations, effective speaking and memory work. Bob Marsh, who was instructor for the class here earlier this vear. win De pacK to teacn this one, wmcn win De under sponsor ship of the SoroDtimist club of Heppner. Virtually every person who takes the Carnegie course be comes enthusiastic for it. and anyone can benefit greatly from u. in tnis aav and ace. almost everyone is called upon at some time to "say a few words" in public, and this is something that many find difficult to do. The Carnegie course trains a person to master such qualms. at the same time heloins his development in public relations. It is a course that will heln farmers, professional peoDle. housewives, and those in all walks of life. Any who are at all interested might talk it over with any of those who completed the first class here or with a member of the sponsoring Soroptimists. The demonstration meeting is open to everyone, Just to show what it is all about. There is no pressure and no obligation. You'll enjoy the demonstration meeting if for nothing more than the enjoyment it affords.
