The change mean better denvery to out of county s'jbseribers, provides a better break for advertisers, and brings crtain advantage in the printing shop. But sorr persons do r.'4 realize that this essentially re Cjuir'rs getting mat;rial In a day earlier. We don't want to be absolute about it, but we do request cvpttatkm. We don't want to unnecessarily disappoint any one for we v,ar;t this to be truly a community paper. If you must be late with a display advertisement or an it-rn, pla? call us and tell us, o that we can make pro visions for it, TIjis will help us determine the size of the paper and prepare in ad van'. An exception to the Monday deadline is that for class ified advertising. Classified ads can be accepted without dif ficulty until 5 p.m. Tur-Rday because of the time schedule for printing this particular page. V-ry Important iwrns, such as a death, an accident, or some other significant happening, have priority and the staff will give precedence to them, even though it is necessary to leave something else out of the paper. When papers are small, there is always a sizable amount of type left over that doesn't get Into print. We never have hrf-corrse m calloused that we don't feel keen sympathy for the p7Mn or organization whose item has to be held out The rr,at.f of deciding what U to be held back is one of our rr;o t disagr-eablc chores, Or.-erally when papers are small, any late item accept ed ir,'-.,.'. leaving out something that probably came In on time. So !. !p us, won't you, by trying to get your material to til by Mor.day and earlier If possible. If you forget and slip, we'll still do our beat, but your cooperation will help us do a better Joh for all concerned. -r..-r t tr Cors Lr..K rT tM Wi tv cv.isr. t off a ail pais ki-.nr. j I TKJ2X tS.r.'S.l. i -j-;; are' 1 a tv.v.a of kicoers. a r--Z Kiy r.rr.t Ir; i I.-.-jVj is a vj. u.t f c ., at t-'it cer.!t t-js be ; a pr-jKpiI at E.-.er.ie f '.v.l. ; i ofy xyut ha !jt;':- j el. &vt ti r tad Vjt fn?

Torn Slater, landscape architect cf tnf L. a. Arrr.v Uoros 01 tn gineers. toid the Chamber of Commerce Monday that the on ly way one could tell for sure within an hour or so that it was rising would be to drive a stake at the edge or use some other marKer, THIS EESEEVOffi will have a tremendous bearing on the lives of people in this area in the future. Its recreational pos sibilities, its impact on irriga tion and industry', and its link in the slac-Kwater navigation 01 the Columbia will profoundly influence the development of this part of eastern Oregon. Slater, in nis taiK r.ionaay, pave some indication 01 iz;e I magnitude of the recreational development at parKs along me reservoir. A story elsewhere in the paper tells about this. He had some other interesting observations about the rising of , the reservoir. One could expect the higher water to flush out an abund ance of rattlesnakes, he said. "You may not think they're there, but they are," he said He told of seeing another pool filled where jackrabbits were found stranded on a bare rock with a number of rattlesnakes. They didn't pay any attention to each other. 1 . ! SOME CAUTIONS on safety in ! watching the rising of the ; pool came to us too late to get I in last week's paper. A story , from the State Highway Depart ' rnent warns that there may be 'some settling of Highway I-80N as a result of the saturation from the reservoir waters. j Temporary surfacing was ap ! plied on the highway when it i was constructed, anticipating ! this possible damage, according i to Forrest Cooper. When subsi dence has ceased several years from now permanent surfacing will be applied to the freeway. No settlement of a severity to prevent traffic movement is ex pected. Highway Department crews and State Police have beon alerted, however, to main tain a constant vigil over this stretch of 1-80N so that precau tions can be taken to alert the motoring public. "Sinks" could possbily occur rather suddenly, and all motor ists are advised to drive with ! caution In places where the! highway Is adjacent to the pool. . ... , ANOTHER CAUTION to the public is to be wary of bank I erosion. One wouldn't want to I be standing too close to the ! edge at some spot only to have i the bank slough off and toss ! him Into the drink. I Take CD Courses Vic Groshers and Xon Mark ers, both of Heppner, have com pleted recent courses under Civil Defens to better prepare them for their resporsibiLties in the Morrow County Civil De fense organization.

The meeing was held Friday and Saturday, and about 40 prin cipals from the eastern part of ! Buys Clark Place night in the training session. "e luue Instructors were from Eastern Oregon College ind Pendleton Hi?h schooL Fourteen attended the school and 16 high school students joined them for the overnight training. Don Munkers went to Eugene for a week's course in radiolog ical monitoring and was to re turn for another week's instruction. Larry Muessig Wins Promotion Larry Muessig, a Heppner High school graduate, has been promoted from corporal to ser geant in the Marine Corps while on active dutv In Vietnam, ac cording to information received by friends here. At the present time bet Mues sig is at Qua Viet and reports that it has been "fairly quiet" since bombing was curtailed. The former Heppner man nas five months left to go on his enlistment in Vietnam and ex pects to go to Hong Kong in May for a period of rest and recreation. Howard Cleveland has purch ased the former Don Clark home on Court Street and will rebuild tne house, frank Turner, real es tate agent states. The house was gutted by fire during the Christmas season last year while occupied by a family renting the place. SCHOOL LUNCH MENTIS Heppner High School and Elementary School April 22-26 Monday, April 22 Beans and franks, peas, rolls, cabbage sal ad, fruit cobbler and milk. Tuesday, April 23 Meat loaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, fruit Jell-O and milk. Wednesday, April 24 Sloppy Joes, com, fruit salad, graham crackers and milk. Thursday, April 23 Spanish rice, salad, gingerbread, apple sauce and milk. Friday, April 26 Tuna and noodles, rolls, peas, fruit and milk. The biennial hunt is on. This year is open season on the American voter. The boys who hop to wm a swivel cnair and public office are gunning !or them. There are several methods err.ploved by the hunters. One is to 'stalk 'the victims singly. catch him off euard in his place cf business or on the sidewalk. greet mm like a brother, twist his wrist with a sympathetic hand clasp, thrust a vile cigar to his mouth, and count him captured. That method is time taking and expnsive. It is bet ter to slaughter them in mass es wr.ere a nunter can siana in front of a batterv of microphones and shoot his propaganda into the crowd is the ideal way. Ke has an advantage there. He can cow the crowd by firing a few blasts of apprehension over their beads, then fill them full of platitudes and promises. Af ter toat the pollsters take over and tally the results. Another good strateey is the dollar-plus dinner. Fill them with food and they will be as satisfied as a boa constrictor who has just swallowed a half dozen monkeys and a few os trich eges. While the gathered voters are in a semi-coma the hunter shoots from his hip. How ever, voter hunting is not al ways easy. The hunter is con stantly surrounded by camera j men and TV inquisitors tangled : in their equipment and eager to ! secure a misstatement of some kind. I would rather hunt a duck in pole thicket along the Road South than run for office. It's easier.
