Plan for a Self-Zoned City It was surprising that not a single interested citizen, oth er than those with some official connection or duty, attend ed the public hearing on the city zoning ordinance Tuesday night. This Is in contrast to what has happened in many other cities where zoning has been started. Usually there are quite a few who are afraid that the regulations will restrict them, and they come loaded with questions or protests. The latter situation has been the case with the hearings that have been conducted on the proposed North Morrow coun ty zoning. One factor that may explain the public's complacence about city zoning here is that it doesn't require much upset of a growth that has developed in orderly fashion without con trol. Heppner has. almost by chance, zoned Itself without reg ulations. The industrial section is confined to a compact area on the north, the commercial section Is pretty well contained in the downtown district without sprawling Into residential dis tricts, and the residential areas surround the industrial and commercial districts without much intrusion into them. In the comprehensive plan, the engineers have been able to include small areas with non-conforming uses on the edges of each zone into these zones, and doing it will mean a mini mum of disturbances. There are some jogs and bulges in boun daries that indicate this. But while Heppner Is pretty well zoned naturally as Rich ard Ivey of the engineers pointed out Tuesday night, the land in the valley Is pretty well taken up. Development now is going to have to come more on the hillsides and along the highways. While the' prediction is that there will not be a boom type growth here In the foreseeable future, it is a pretty sure thing that the Willow Creek dam will be built, and it will cause some changes. The work force that comes to build it will mean some adjustment, and it is well to liave regulations established so that the city Is prepared. On the face of it, the zoning ordinance appears to be an excellent basis for future planning particularly so because It does adapt itself so well to the natural development Certain ly it will help assure an attractive city, provide for orderly development, protect the interests and investments of each propery owner, and help insure the private rights of each res ident without encroachment by another. Next Year . . . Maybe News from Congressman Al Ullman that the House Ap propriations committee did not. recommend funds for the Wil low Creek project this year in its action last week did not come as a surprise here. Wrhen provision for the pre-construc-tion appropriation was not included In the original budgetary recommendations in the spring, supporters of the dam here realized that it would be a long shot ever to get the appro priation this year. Nevertheless, every effort was made in a "last ditch" ef fort, both locally and by the Congressional delegation. Even without the economic pressure of the Vietnam war, it prob ably would have been unusual for the project to move that fast The Army Corps of Engineers has been surprised that the preliminary steps on the project and its authorization moved as swiftly as they have. Supporters appreciate the good efforts of Congressman Ull man and others in Washington, D. C. There is disappointment here, of course, but the hope Is now that maybe the appropriation will be forthcoming next year if the world situation and the economic conditions change in our favor. In a way, one can liken it to an old Model T chugging up a hill. Just when It just about surmounts the crest, it coughs and dies, only to roll back down the hill again. But we're not quite like the Model T on this project We're stopped just before gaining the top, true, but we don't roll back to the bottom. We're ready to go over the top just as soon as we can get in gear again. 3 Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman MARION ABRAMS came to work Wednesday afternoon lookinfi as if she had "walked the plank" and fallen on rocks in stead of the open sea. Her arm was prettv badlv bruised and took on deep black and blue hues. We suggested that maybe- she and the Father of the Year (hus band Bob had had an alterca tion, but this was far from the case. Marion didn't walk the plank; she dropped the plank. The whole family has been engaged in painting the house. (Have you noticed how nice it looks, hleh on the east hill?) Bobs father made the mistake of com ing for a visit, and he was pressed Into service. He and Marion went to move a plank on a scaffolding and dropped it . . . Mv, that smarts! GAIL McCARTY lives on Cale street (until his new home is finished), and the McCartys are going to have some new neigh bors in the apartments of the Heppner Clinic building. The Rod (Spike) Pardoes have rent ed an apartment there, and Mrs. Pardee's name is Gale. Living behind Gail McCarty and Gale Pardee on Gale street is Gayle Arbogast With all the gales around, they ought to kick up quite a storm. Spike, as is announced else where In this paper, is the new staffer at the Gazette-Times. We're surely glad at last to find someone who is a good pho tographer. He expects to be available for photo work on the side, including handling of wed ding pictures. WHEN THE final gun went off at the Condon game Friday night with the score deadlock ed at 20-20, Marylee Hiemstra, wife of Coach Ed Hiemstra. sighed and said, "Lose the first one, tie the second one, win the next." This seems like a reasonable approach to the football year with a young but up-and-coming team and a new coaching staff. The boys met a big and tough team in Condon which has a tremendous senior line, with speed and power in the back field. The Mustangs matched them in good shape, though, and there couldn't be much com plaint of their performance. Coach Hiemstra really knows football, and the boys are going to reflect this before the season is over, although they have stiff competition in the Greater Ore gon league games ahead. THE NEW MUSTANG coach played professional football with the New York Giants in 1942. The war interrupted, and he continued his football with the Second Air Force team. Among those on the Giants at the time he played was Len Younce, ex OSU (OSC in those days). At the time he was a pro, Hiemstra weighed 225 pounds, and he played guard. "I'd just be a scatback now!" he said Wednesday in pointing out how much bigger the teams are. You wouldn't believe it, but the coach still weighs 205. In street clothes, he looks as if he weighs about 170. "A man's average height at the time of World War II was 5-9," Ed says. "Now it Is 511. "A guard who is under 240 today doesn't have a chance THE IONE GARDEN CLUB PRESENTS 15th Annual FLOWER SHOW SUNDAY, SEPT. 25, 2:00-7:00 AT THE IONE SCHOOL CAFETORIUM THEME: "Company's Coming See You There SPECIAL FEATURE Dahlia Displays from Bill Rawlins Dahlia Gardens ADULT & JUNIOR DIVISIONS HORTICULTURE & FLOWER ARRANGING THIS MESSAGE SPONSORED BY YOUR HOME-OWNED BANK AS A COMMUNITY SERVICE DANK OF D Eastern Oregon IONE MEMBER. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION with the pros." In liM2. the Giants' first string fullback weighed lust 170. Hiemstra has great faith in his boys. "Some of them are tremendous animals." he says in the he man language which a football player uses in respect to another. He thinks his lads have some wav to go to develop toughness and real desire, and to get rid or some of their accident-prone tendencies. "Too manv wheels, I guess," said he, referring to the fact that kids today ride In cars when thev should walk. "In stead of pitching hay, thev are too often driving tractors.1' Two of the boys, trying to out do each other, had u flareup of temper one night this week, and each tried to bull the other out of the way. They got into a tussle for a couple min utes, after which Coach Hiem stra told the squad, "Now that's one of the first examples of real desire I've seen." Probably there will be some more changes on the squad com ing up. David Hall went to quarterback and Jim Doherty went to a halfback spot last week because the coach felt Do hertv had too much ability In running to tie him with the signal calling position, and Hall has demonstrated a fine abil ity to master the plays. Some of the "lesser lights" on the squad are going to be mov ing out some of the standbys for first string berths when they show their stuff and the veter an seems to rest on his laurels. BY THE WAY. those real nice programs that local merch ants sponsor for the home games aren't going to do much good unless someone gets some new light bulbs put in the grandstand. Only other alterna tive is for the fan to take a flashlight. ANYONE WHO may think that Oregon's emphasis on state parks isn't paying off should have heard Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lough of Monterey, Calif., brother-in-law and sister of Mrs. Sherman, who visited here Thursday night and Friday. They had been on a two months' tour of western United States and Canada with their neat trailer home. "Ask anyone anywhere," said Ray, "and if he has done any traveling, he'll tell you that Oregon has the best state parks, the best facilities and offers the -most fun at scenic places than any other state." I think it was Orvllle Cuts forth who said the other day that one of the populated east ern states just has three state parks. Oregon has hundreds of them. ONE OF the most interesting columns in any publication in the state is "The Lost Forty" in the Forest Log of the State Department of Forestry. In the September issue, the author was talking about the terms, "contained," "controlled" and "mopping up" in relation to forest fires. 'Deputy State Forester Frank Sargent hauled off and simpli fied them," the article said. " 'If you had a five-gallon bucket and put four gallons in to it, that's contained; now if you put a lid on it, that's con trolled.' When asked the mean ing of mop-up, he answered, That's the easy one. That is when you pour all the water on to the floor.' " Pvt Greg Pierce has been home since Friday, September 16, on 21 day leave before going to Vietnam; he has been at Ft. Benning, Ga., for six weeks in paratroop training. Pvt.

Each team flashed sparks of brilliance at times, onlv to have the other roar back to match the performance. At the same time, each team had Its lapses that the other turned to Its ad vantage. And the crowd saw everything long pass receptions, long runs from the kiekoff for touch downs, long runs from scrim mage, blinked punts, fumbles, and a great number of penal ties called on the overengor teams. David Hall, taking over the quarterback spot from Jim Do hertv who has been moved to halfback, scored the opening touchdown on a keeper in the first quarter, after a pass from Dohertv to Steve Pettyjohn, good for 25 yards, set the stage for the score. Doherty had helped on the opening march when he ran 31 yards to give the Mus taiifis good field position. The point trv, a run by Doherty, failed to hit pav dirt.
