"Lives of great men leave behind them
Footprints on the sand of time.
Although by some standards my dear companion for 29

ideals of work, whether it be as a Journalist, as a student,
as a teacher, or as a member or officer in an organ.zat ion.
I think Wes has left many worthwhile footprints In his
beloved Morrow county, and many of us are proud to have
been in any way a part of them. One might say that we pol
ished his shoesy but he did the walking in them, laid the
path, and filled them very well.
How he loved to walk the sandy land the productive soil,
the wooded hills, even the busy sidewalks of Heppner, and
aroundhe vast anch lands of Morrow county. He never felt
he could praise the people highly enough for their amb tion
Jnd Severance, their desires to achieve greater things their
keen interest in state and national problems He enjoyed
Cory much being a "chamber of commerce" for the whole
of Morrow county.
On the trip east he took along a dozen or more copies of
,he beautiful Oregon brochure and some of Jo counjr
to share and show to others across the nation the beauties
of Oregon He was a very proud Oregonian, and the crowded,
smogS areas of the east which we visited convinced him
even more that he loved being one of Its citizens.
It Is very difficult to fill another's shoes, especially when
it comes to that of an editor and publisher of a weekly news
paper. We may find It more than we can do.
The recent awards received for outstanding j""31'

not know definitely what they would be They w,l J
be a tribute to his last productive year as an editor and
would make him very proud. They are testimony that dedi
cated work and the driving for excellence were a part of his
nature, and to be rewarded.
An editorial page has a way of providing the
a small newspaper, and many will share with m the feeling
that Wes put forth that desired "pulse beat . "f rarejv had
an editorial in print that was not first read by others for ap
5v 1 or disapproval, but never lacked the courage to say
what he really felt "In his heart" to be the best for Morrow
CU Te retchedPrcommon touch with others through his per
sonal "chaff and chatter" column. Usually composed In haste,
he was rarely satisfied with it. but we know it was enjoyed
and held In first priority by many readers. Under pressure,
Ste busy fingers would be glued to the typewriter many an
early morning hour, preparing to meet the weekly deadline.
These words of tribute would be incomplete without giv
ing appreciation to those who have done veteran work behind
X scenes during the past three weeks. To Kit, who accepted
the "reins" almost overnight and has done a superb Job, to
Gail on whom we have leaned heavily; to Rachel and her
great capabilities; to Arnold and Reggie and Dale for their
added burdens and tireless and energetic work in the shop
to these we are indebted. Many hands are busy for many
hours before meeting the post office deadline.
Our slnccrcst thanks, too, to the many, many friends
throughout this area and around the state who have shower
ed us with kind words and acts of understanding. We wish
it were possible to shake the hand of each one personally.
Among memorial contributions are those going into a
scholarship fund for a Journalism student from the county.
Many knew that Wes' fondest dream was to see young peo
ple become interested in journalism, and whenever possible
worked with them to get them Into the journalism fields Oth
er memorials have been gratefully accepted and will be
PlaTo all "the fine people who have felt a close touch with
Wes through the years and have expressed it at this time of
our sorrow, we shall forever be grateful. His wish as is our
wish, is to see this vast land, this happy land, this bounti
ful land, forever grow and prosper.
Fish Impoundments
Officials of the State Game Commission have told Mor
row county Judge Paul Jones that work on Kelly and Pen
land Prairie projects has not been slated for this biennium
because there has been little response from local people about
their feelings on the project.
Since that has been made known by the Judge, both the
Heppner-Morrow county Chamber of Commerce and the Hepp
ner City Council have passed resolutions to be sent to the
Game Commission supporting the projects, and encouraging
the Game Commission and the United States Forest Service
to work cooperatively on the projects.
The impact of either or both projects would be tremen
dous on not only Heppner but also the entire county. Dollar
wise, the economic growth of the area may soar by a half
million dollars.
If public response is what is needed to get these two
worthwhile endeavors off the ground, there should not be
any lack of it in Heppner.
Now is the time to let the two government agencies Know
that Morrow county is indeed interested in Kelly and Pen
land Prairies. All it takes is a letter. ka

Sherman off so soon.
Maybe they need an editor up
there
To fill a special technocratic
chair:
But why a time like this,
Inopportune
And sudden, like as if they
couldn't wait!
Like drafting soldiers, so they
drafted him,
A call one such as he knew
how to face.
Remember. Just before he left,
he wrote
His "Chaff and Chatter" column,
and I quote:
"Two others we recruit to take
our place
While we are gone." So in the

We all have Jobs to do, yet no

What honors shall be ours for

So's not to leave his paper

Not his to die! He rode the rising

And lives to write a new im

There is a small stream which

It seems it got out of bounds.
There is a Shone canyon out

Pleasant Stay
To the Editor:
I would like to take this op
portunity to thank the people
of Heppner and lone for the won
derful cooperation extended me
during my stay and work on the
Pacific Gas Transmission com
pany Job.
I would also like to thank the
members of the Willow Creek
Country Club for their cordial
invitation to play golf and par
ticipate in their activities. It
made my stay in Heppner very
pleasant, in fact I was sorry to
have it end so soon.
I have played on many cours
es throughout the country and
have not found one that could
compare wth the friendly atmos
phere. The course is well layed
out. the fairways and greens
were well kept. I was ioiu oi
the humble beginning to what
it is today. Just doesn't seem
passible! But there it is.
i hn r,..,nio nf HeDoner and
surrounding communities should
be proud of this accomplish
ment and support the club and
join in the various functions
provided by the club. This
would insure its future for the
younger generation.
Thanks again and I hope to
visit and play with you won
derful people again at some fu
ture time.
Yours truly,

entitled to an exemption on my
property taxes under ORS 307.

month in order to reach 30 years
of service. My home will be
rented during the 2V2 jean I
will be gone. Am I entitled to
an exemption during this period?
ANSWER:
No. Although a temporary ab
sence has been previously con
cifiiimfi na nnt rtitnrhini? the ex
emption, it seems that two and
one-half years would oe consiu
ered something other than "temporary".
