This may be a bit of tne case wiui tr branch 1 ne" and for that reason It might be somewhat of a ko thing that it was out of service for 21 days, from the standpoint of our mental conditioning.- Lowe's story brings out how faithful the service has been nd what the railroad has meant to the county through the vears. For the e" re county, this paper expresses appreciation to the En o i Paclfte for Its great and speedy Job of restorauorL was miEhty good to have the train come to town Monday, as it U?o have it wme on every day of its regular schedule. Items Forecasters May Overlook Ifs forecasting season again. The air .crackles with fore casts about who will do what in Asia. Berlin, the Middle East The alarms are clanging over 1963's forseeable traffic deaths, crime political crises and fierce new challenges. Okav. But let's get it in perspective, hm? Thanks to our re sourceful researchers, it is now my pleasure to present a few of the items that forecasters (even us) often forget. Here are some thinps that will happen In 19o5. About 7233,000 children will stop outgrowing their shoes eVePm1ooShAmericans will not be hurt or killed in an ""NeSv0 13.199.000 girls will outgrow the Beatles.

IT MUST HAVE been Quite a Mpht to see the eight big Kin rua trucks going down the high wav and through Portland en route to Co. Bay Friday- They were carrying some of Eastern Oregon's finest logs for test peel ing at a plywood plant in th-f coastal town. Even in the heart of the log ging area in western Oregon the sight of eight trucks In a con voy would cau.ne considerable t,neculatlon. and Joe Wright, one of the drivers, said that a good many people stoppea in rneir tracks to stare at the sight. Since they took off at 3 a.m. Friday, there wasnt a chance to get any pictures, and none of the drivers thought to bring a camera to give the convoy a photographic treatment In day lirht However, at their eating stop In Salem, a stranger spei.t some time taKing movies oi m trucks. They found some rough going towards Coos Bay with the roads thom in hurt sharx from the floods and from the bad weather encountered. They also naa a flat tire on one or me iruiKs en route over and a bit of w heel trouble on another coming home, but they got back into Heppner Saturday night abo-t 12. safe and sound. It is good to show the western part of the state that we in Eastern Oregon have some "good sticks" to display, too. Might have been nice If the boys could have been routed around the home of Sen. Vernon Cook in Multnomah county to show him Just how big the sage brush grows in eastern Oregon- We hope never to let him forget that he is the one who said eastern Oregon is good only for sage brush and jackrabbits. TO THE EDITOR. . To The Editor: For some time I have been wondering if any of the long time residents of Morrow county could possibly remember the reason for the name Butter Creek. Last year in the new map of Oregon put out by the Geograp hic Society, it was listed as But ler Creek, which I knew was an error, as my grandfather and father (Robert and William Doug lass) took up land there, and lived there from around 1870 till 1S98. I was born there but was quite young when we came to New York. Up until the time of the Heppner flood, we talked of going back for a visit, but my father knew every adult who lost his life at that time, and a visit was never considered again. The recent storms and floods have brought this much to my mind. I visited Oregon in 1947, spent a day around Heppner, and visit ed mv grandfather's grave in the old pioneer cemetery near Lena on Butter Creek. I was much pleased to find it fenced, and apparently cared for. Every name in it was familiar. Butter Creek certainly was not named for the presence of much dairy product. After my father married, he had to rope, throw and tie a cow in order to get a little milk. Thanking you in advance, Yours very truly, Annie Douglass Payne (Ed Note: Mrs. Payne has en closed a self-addressed envelope for reply. Anyone who can ans wer her query is invited to in form the Gazette -Times, and the information will be sent on to her). Cooking Club Plans For Mothers' Tea When roll call was taken at the last meeting of the Butter finger's 4-H Cooking club, there were only 10 out of 16 members present. We talked about our Mother's Tea. We decided to in vite two other people besides those who were mothers of mem bers. These are Mrs. Brindle and Miss George. Afterwards we made some cookies: peanutbut ter, fcrownies and oatmeal and Shelley Wolff, reporter' Hip Broken Mrs. Walter Becket suffered a broken hip in a fall at her home last week and is now in the Pendleton General hospital for treatment.

WE AT the G-T are currently in the process of some internal reorganization with a couple of things in mind: 1.
