Wrhen the youth were ques tioned and remanded to the Ju venile court by city officer, it apparently cleared 12 illegal entries Into three Heppner bus inesses and meeting halls, as well as miscellaneous Incidents of vandalism. County Judge Jones and Chief of police Glen Kolkhorst said that there appeared to be at least four entries at Pettyjohn's Farm and Building Supply, three at Murray Rexull Drug, three at Court Street Market, one at the Odd Fellows hull ana one at the American Legion hall. In addition, four street lights were broken out, garbage cans were emptied, windows were broken nt the grade school, and wire was rolled down a hill at the Columbia Basin pole yard. None of the youths was in volved In all of the Incident, according to the statements of those Involved. They did not op erate as a gang. Chief Kolkhorst said that the coses were broken when an an onymous phone call came to the police station late one night that someone apparently was breaking Into Court Street Mar ket. Officers went to the scene and took two youths Into custo dy. The tip apparently came from an adult. When the youths were ques tioned. Information came to light that linked others to oth er offenses, and when the chain continued, eventually 10 were Implicated. In most cases they took little merchandise from the stores. However a considerable quan tity of ammunition and hard ware was taken from Petty John's. Included were 12 boxes of .22 caliber cartridges, $15 In cash, six padlocks, a wrench, spray paint, a box of .300 mag num shells, other ammunition and probably other miscellan eous Item. Mr. and Mrs. How ard Pettyjohn had been aware of burglaries but did not real ize that so much had been tak en until it was recovered from the room of one of the boys In volved. From Court St. Market, some cigars, a bottle of hair lotion and perhaps other small Items were taken. Two cases of beer had been moved towards the back door. At Murray, which also hous es the State liquor store, en tries had been made In an at tempt to obtain liquor but none was noticed to be missing. A cigarette lighter and some col ogne were among items taken from the store. One entry was made through a back window, which was later covered with steel bars. A later entry was made by crossing the Gazette Times roof to reach a higher ter-ln-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Ekstrom and family. Dennis E. Swanson, who re cently completed basic training as a commercial airlines pilot at Dallas, Texas, with Branilf Airlines, has accepted a posit ion as a pilot with Northwest Orient Airlines.

She missed $25 more because she slipped on one of the clues that Identified Ed Gonty as the Who's Who of the week In the August 17 Issue of the Gazette Time. Mrs. Biddle failed to spot the clue, "Mustang alum" which was Included In the Pettyjohn Farm and Building Supply ad vert isement on the classified page. Under the rules, dues may be In 8onsors ads wherever they appear In the paper, and contestants should not overlook the classified page. Because Mrs. Biddle failed to find all the clues, the prize next week will go to a possi ble $55.

Admission to the IOOF hall was apparently gained by shin nylng up a guy wire to the roof top (a feat that took some courage) and going through a skylight. Only two billiard balls (both 8-balb!) were taken from the hall. Chief Kolkhorst said that powder from the magnum shells taken from Pettyjohns was used by some of the youths in mak ing smoke bombs. Most of the entries and van dalism occurred in early morn ing hours with the youths going out after their parents were asleep. In some cases they were sleeping in the yards at their homes and left unnoticed by the parents. The chief of police and the Judge said that parents have been cooperative In helping to clear up the cases. "Their attitude has been ex cellent," Chief Kolkhorst said.

Monotonous, isn't it? And whoever seeks to check the continuous maximum tem peratures for the long stretch might also want to look at the minimums. The nights have brought some perspiration, too. Last Wednesday through Sun day had consecutive minimums of 62. 65, 63, 61, and 61, Would n't those minimums feel won derful as maximums along about next February? Bat If you are amona thos who want to declare that this Is th hottest summer on rec ord, we're with vou and won't delve too hard Into the record book to dispute ltl If you go back to the last rainfall on June 22 of this year and start from there, you'll find that there has been no day with a maximum temperature of less than 78 degrees (August 7) and only one other In the 70s (79 on July 8). There have been 32 days of 90 degrees or higher (17 of these 95 or higher), and 26 days in the 80-90 range, with empha sis on the high 80's. Gilliam said that a few drops of rain fell early Sunday morn ing, but not so'8 you notice it and not enough to measure. The main evidence was a few spots that a person might find in the dust on top of a car. Of course, if you insist on setting records, there Is still a chance that the rainless string might go on for some time yet and challenge that 1929 mark. After all, it isn't snowing to day (Tuesday), and the Arbuck le Mountain tow, we might an nounce, isn't operating. Gilliam's report for the week, August 16-22: Max. Min- Prec.
