Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter. . . .And Another Thing Continuing a bit on a recent editorial on food costs, and the housewives' crusade to cut them, some interesting facts and ideas are included in an Extension Service bulle tin (No. 6S6). "Your Weekly Food Bill." Mary M. Holthouse, food marketing specialist of OSU, lists a number of reasons that some families have higher food bills than others. Among these is the purchase of pet food. Can you remem ber when Fido or the family cat existed on table scraps? It wasn't so long ago. Now the volume in pet food sales is terrific, and the cost is charged to the family grocery bill. If you dont think there is a tremendous volume of pet foods sold. Just notice the number of commercials on pet foods on television. Other things that keep the grocery' bill up: Non-food items charged to the grocery hill (cleaning supplies, health and beauty aids, and magazines); use of out-of -season foods; fail ure to take advantage of sales (Ed. Note: Watch your news paper ads!); fancy packaging (buying foods on the basis of the container rather than on the weight of contents or cost per serving can increase food bills); buying fancy party foods; and expensive -food plans." In the latter case, fam ilies sometimes commit themselves to monthly payment pur chase plans that involve a freezer, large stocks of frozen meats or other foods they would not normally buy, plus in terest charges. "Don't be taken in," says the bulletin. "Check the cost of comparable items from local dealers before signing a contract" Chaff and Wes VARIOUS DRIVES and cam paigns to raise funds for com batting human ailments have come and gone through the years, but the annual Christ mas Seal Sale of the TB and Health association is one insti tution that most of us have known all our lives. Christmas wouldn't be the same without the Seal Sale, proceeds of which have brought humanitarian div idends for generations. As Sylvia McDaniel announc es this year's sale, the thought comes that the method of con ducting the campaign is far superior to that of 30 to 40 years ago or more. In those davs, school kids did the selling. " Teachers passed out the seals to youngsters, and in our town 'Forest Grove), each pupil was allotted a territory. We remember the sale when we were in the fifth grade as if it were yesterday and for pood reason. Teacher handed this 9-year-old lad 30 seals and assigned us the length of First Avenue. That's a long street. It was raining a sozzling western Oregon rain when we hopefully started out after school to knock on doors and give the sales pitch for Christ mas Seals, which consisted of, "You don't want to buv some Christmas Seals, do you?" When the first housewife to answer a door unsmilingly shook her head, she erased much of our courage, and the next query at her neighbor's door was more of a plea than an offer. "You don't . . ." No. Drenched through by now, we went on. The result was gener ally the same. Maybe we had sold a dime's worth at the going price a penny a stamp. Dark ness came and we were near the end of the street. It was proving a grim and dismal bus iness and a shy lad was get ting mighty forlorn with no ta kers. By now the remaining stamps were either stuck to gether or the stickum had washed away. Finally we had exhausted the last house at the end of the pavement with still 20 stamps between us and a sell out. But we weren't going to quit. Straight ahead about a half-mile away was a house standing alone in a farm area, its lights beaming through the rainy darkness. We sloshed our way along a railroad track to that house. They couldn't turn down the Christmas Seals. With teeth chattering, we knocked on that door the last chance. We just knew these people were pood people. They'd buy. A woman came, peered into the night, and discovered the dripping mop of hair and sod den sight on the porch. It spoke, "You don't want to buy . . .?" She managed a slight smile of pity, shook her head, then quietly c!osed the door while v.e stood in a pool of rain wa i'T on that front porch. I'll never forget that house, that shake of the head, the Jong walk b.ick home through the cold dark rain, even though it was 40 years ago. Mother, always my best customer, bought the stamps, but she lived out of my territory and that wasn't strictly according to Iloyle. NATIONAL NEWSPAPU Chatter Sherman If the battle against TB were won or lost on such efforts, the dreaded malady long since would have wiped out our pop ulation. But the spirit was will ing. and the Seal Sale was kept going in those days bv efforts i of thousands of kids like this, i Fortunately, they included many with more sales ability. So, assuming that you have your seals that were sent in ! the mail, you might think of these kids who worked at it ! years ago. Don't close the door i in the face of those needing ; help to fight tuberculosis and j respiratory diseases, j "You do want to buy Christ , mas Seals, don't you?" They ; are dry and the stickum is good. 'WELL, NOW: Those who might ' have done some mourning ! when Heppner's football team j lost to Vale's Vikings don't feel so badly after all. do they? j There's no humiliation to be beaten by a state champion 1 ship team by a score of 36-0. We didn't know they were champs i for certain then, but we were I hoping they would be. Congrat i ulations to the Vikings, their i players and their reliable sing j le wing. I ; AND HOME was a pretty good ; place to be on Thanksgiving ; week-end even if the flu was 1 going around. Traffic was ter rific on the highways. Wayne Evans, heading back to OSU Sunday after being with par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Don Evans here for the holiday, reported to them later that he saw several accidents on the Baldock Free way between Portland and Woodburn en route to Corval lis. It took from 2 p.m. until after 8 p.m. for them to get from Heppner to Corvallis. THE AL MARTIN family, com ing back from Hood River, found the highway so congest ed that they turned off at Ful leton Canyon. Then all was changed. (One day Al is going to start writing poetry about this part of eastern Oregon!) A full moon was shining, grazing cattle could be seen in the soft light, not another soul was in sight, and all was peaceful and serene. "It was just gorgeous," quoth our new romantic lyricist. We tried to disenchant him by saying that he might have thought differently if he had rounded a corner and bumped into one of those dark shapes of cattle, outlined in the moon light, in the middle of the high way, but no soap. This is just a great place. While visiting skier friends in Hood River, the Martins promot ed a lot of interest in Arbuckle Mountain, and said they all would be over to try our slopes when the snow gets good. ITS AMUSING to see how some of the mail coming to the newspaper is addressed The other day we received a letter from a large corporation ad dessed to "Mr. Gazette T. Hepp ner, Heppner, Oregon. That didn't seem to stop Postmaster Jim Driscoll and his crew. Then another one came, "Heppner Gazette Times, MY FAVORITE OREGON WEEK- TO THE EDITOR Boring.
