. . .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"

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

; 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,

"December 20, 1927 the day

"That is a dangerous speed for
a machine so small." Sam is

on.
"Claude Cox of Morrow Coun

proud of new GE 7 hp squir

replaced his old steam engine.
Thoughts of it pleases him
still. He was rid of all that
noise it made when his son
made like an engineer.
"Heppner High School had
its new gym and the junior
class was opening it with a
class play that evening. The
play, "Dummy," was directed
by the class advisor, Miss Del

quite a successful adventure
