She was on the Job when she was really too ill to be there. There were times when the administrator and her fellow teachers virtually ordered her to go home. She did outstanding work as a Journalism teacher and ad visor, but probably her greatest contribution was preparing the way for students' advanced education In her counselling and " AtnTOmSncement earlier this year, scholarships given to higher institutions were far beyond what they had ever been before.

Mel Dixon here Wednesday: A builder bullded a temple; He wrought with care and skill; Pillars and groins and arches Were fashioned to meet his will; And men said when they saw Its beauty: "It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill. O Builder. Thy fame shall endure for aye." A teacher bullded a temple; She wrought with skill and care; -Forming each pillar with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None saw the unceasing effort; None knew of the marvelous plan; For the temple the teacher bullded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone Is the builder's temple; Crumbled Into the dust, Pillar and groin and arches Food for consuming rust; But the temple the teacher bullded Shall endure while the ages roll; For that beautiful unseen temple ' " Was a child's Immortal souL "Bigger and Better Than Ever" Probably there have been very few fairs ever staged in any county which were not publicized as "Bigger and Better Than Ever " This superlative Statement takes In a considerable territory. In the "good old days" a county fair was an occasion for real celebration 'with speeches, fireworks, carnivals and similar appurtenances built around the agricultural harvest and housewives' home economics achievements. " Perhaps in some counties across bur broad land this remains true today, hut since more entertainments and diversions are available in this modern 'time, the frothy "part of a fair Is tending to disappear, Just as Chautauqua hd vaudeville lxwed out, leaving some Nostalgic memories: v " Bur the important part of the fair remains the exhibition and performance of Its best In agricultural produce, the display of Its arts arid craftsV and the' heralding pt enlevements of the This not only gives our people a chance to feel a sense of accomplishment for work well done, but It promotes an im portant part of our economy, and serves to inspire even better and greater production. .. . W, The matter of "bigger and better than ever" Is a relative thing. It may be that in some lines, this year's Morrow County Fair will not have as many entries as last ear. However, In others there will be more and greater. " There will be new achievements and new participants. Some persons will devote more time and attention to the 1965 - fair than ever before, and so, truly to them, it will be the best ever." A few years ago, Gaines wheat was Just starting. Now, much of the county's harvest will be in Gaines, so it can be said with certainty that this new production will be "bigger and better than ever." ' . ' ''''" Morrow county's fair is not meant to be a glamorous event, but it is a good solid show of achievement,, and a time when our people can be grateful for the production of our good land and proud of their labors. ' Many work hard to make the county fair possible. Everyone should go to the fair to share In the appreciation of what has been produced. ' Those who are really perceptive will find that, In many respects at least, the 1965 Morrow County Fair is truly "Bigger and Better Than Ever." ' ' " Two Dances Set For Because of the Interest shown in rodeo dances this year, two dances will be held on Rodeo week-end instead of one, Archie Munkcrs and Bill Collins of the dance committee announce. In addition to the previously announced dance on Saturday night, August 28, there will be a dance also on Friday night, August 27, both in the fair pavil ion. Dick Desier's Dartell Five of Pendleton will furnish the mus ic for the Friday night dance Thursday. rt it. mi nOTNEH -TIMES NATIONAL lOITOIIAl HELEN C SHERMAN Associate Publish Rodeo Days and the Western Gentlemen of Condon will play for the Satur day night dance. Each will start at 10 p.m. Dances have brought an un usually heavy response this year. A number of years ago, two dances were held at rodeo time but in recent years only the Sat urday night Rodeo Dance has been held. There will be no dance this Saturday night because of the Shrine football game.

WHEN BUD 1IEBERT of Hepp ner Grill sets out to do some thing, he doesn't quit until the job is done. He went fishing out at Luke Btbby's place ear Her in the year, hooked a good sized trout, but the fish snapped the line and skittered away with hook, leader and all. Last week Bud went fishing out there again. He caught and landed the trout this time. It was still earning his hook and leader. THOSE WHO really want to ex plore our area ought to take a trip to Tamarack lookout if they have never been there, al though the last three miles can be negotiated best by Jeeps or 4 -wheel drive rigs. We went In there Sunday to show some folks the Mew over the John Day country. It is a sight that rivals looking down into Hell's Canyon or the Grand Canyon. You don't have to climb it. A walk of a few hundred yards brings one to a precipitous DrinK mat mair farm buildings far be low look like toy structures, and the John Day Kiver courses through the panoramic picture. Entrance to the lookout Is off the Spray highway Just south of the Bun iraine entrant, n Is 10 miles from there to the lookout, although in a low slung car the last three miles seem like 10 by themselves. DALE VANCE, a Heppner High graduate ana son oi w. nu Mm Art Vance til lookout at Tamarack this summer. We found his facility spic ana span Sunday. The grounds around his cabin were raked clean, and he had made borders with rocks along the edges of the trails. Dale explained that he was ex pecting an inspection Monday and wanted to have everything shipshape. ' He said that he picked up two wheel barrow loads of dead bat teries from the brush where lookouts had thrown them from the tower as they changed the power supply on their radio in previous years. Dale said he doesn't get much company, but there are quite a few deer and lots of coyotes around. A good host, he offered us a cool drink of water, hut we declined because he has to get it at Tamarack Spring, three miles away, and it was easy for us to stop there rather than to drain his supply. SGT. TOMMY ERWIN, who does most of the work of putting out the Condon Air Force squad ron paper, "The Scope," had an interesting story in his last Is sue about automatic garage door openers posing a hazard to flying aircraft. These doors are radio-controlled and sometimes interfere with the radios, on air craft. "It would be possible for a pilot to inadvertently 'home-In' on a garage door signal and fly directly toward it with great accuracy, conceivably with dis astrous results," the article said. How would you like to drive home some evening " and find that a huge Jet had buzzed in tn nlif traracp? - "In the Los Angeles area alone, 58 garage openers were recently tracked down In one week and taken 'off the air" for interferring with air navigation signals," the story said. "Actually only a small pro portion of the known radio door openers are potentially hazar dous," it continues. The usual offenders are those operating in the 230 to 290 megacycle ultra high frequency radio band, but this represents a sizable portion of the entire military UHF band used for aircraft communications and air navigation." ...
