"His hip, which was broken quite badiy has healed, but nut in place." Mrs. Brown writes. He was in the hospital and nursing home for 61 days.

"I'll say we are doing better than Uncle Sam. We balance the budget every' week. Just make the income pay the gro cery bill. The high 'muca muca' talk on a billion dollars doesn't amount to much. Just think if you had a billion dollars ami cave away one thousand dollars an hour 'round the clock, it would take 114 years, one month. 26 days and six hours to give it away. I wish they would think about this. "We will have to get some one in there that's been kicked around a little who knows what a dollar is. Pretty soon some body will have to invent a dol lar that will stick to your fing ers a little longer. If they don't i change their ways pretty soon I L'ncle Sam is going to be stuck, j and that means all of us. A pa per dollar now is only worth I thirty cents if you cash it in i for gold. "If we all could give checks and overdraw, this would be ; a wonderful world. Well, it seems as I am getting along in ! years, I think I'll go to Florida ' and hunt for that Fountain of Youth. You know. Ponce de Leon ; hunted a year for it in 1513. , He said, 'No soap!' " 1.99 3-8, Reg. 2.49 School Bells Bt DAVID R. POTTER The 19tU"67 school year Is 'starting out very well. We in Morrow County are verv fortun ate to have a well qualified and enthusiastic group of teachers and administrators. During re cent years much has been said about keeping our staff mem bers for a greater length of time. Much can be done to help along these lines. Our PTA groups have had and are ar ranging some outstanding teacher receptions. The Heppner Elementary PTA had an excel lent reception last Friday night. This tvpe of response from the community makes the teachers fool welcome. The availability of housing has improved, and this helps. One item which must be con sidered by the teachers, the board, the budget committee, and the community Is teacher's salaries. During the past three years Morrow county's salary schedule has boon surpassed by rmany sonool districts in the I state. If we are to hold our well qualified staff, we must correct jthis situation by next year. In 1 doing this, we must ho well aware of the tremendous load that property is now carrying. In other words, we must raise teaching salaries, but we must j not increase the property tax I load. There are several w ays in 1 which this can be done. ! The best wav this can be ac complished is by working close FARLEY MOTOR CO., May 6 Chase -- v7T &fC& ly with our legislators to secure creator state support for our schools with n provision for property tax offset. Another wav we might achieve our goal, on a temporary bas is only, would be to severely reduce the amount we budget for transportation, teaching sup plies and other items In the budget. This second method Is a dangerous way. since in fu ture budgets these items would have to be greatly increased to bring the school back to prop er standards. We have one other request and a note of appreciation to give this week. We would sin cerely request that each and every driver in the county be verv cautious during the hours before school and after school. We have many wonderful stu dents. Please help us in seeing that thev get to school and re turn home safely. The note of appreciation: We would like to thank all the people that helped niako our teacher in sorviov program such a success.
