And as we head back to school, and no longer sit at this typewriter and meet the deadlines of the Gazette-Times, it makes one think about the past three-and-a-half months. As we say goodby, we'd like to pass those thoughts on to you. It has always been a thought In our mind that Heppner Is a place you could never forget. Four years ago, when we first left Heppner, we didn't forget, and looked forward to the day when we could return as Kit Anderson, not as a stu dent or a visitor, but as a Heppnerite. We got that opportunity last December, when Wes Sher man offered us a job for the summer on this newspaper. The change from the hustle and bustle of a daily newspaper's deadlines we had met a year ago in Albany to the more easy going routire of a weekly paper was perfect. It all started wehn the Shermans left for a vacation back east. Two weeks later, the man who had first started us In journalism was gone. He lef: a great woman, and together we've tried to carry on. And to us, Heppner understood. That has been the great est revelation of the summer. We knew we could never do the job that Wes Sherman did, and thank goodness, Heppner understood Our ideas were different, perhaps, and that caused some problems, But then that's part of a small town, too. People are rather set in their ways, and we can't be too harsh on our criticism of that. One time, when Jim Eardley of the East Oregonian told the Chamber of Commerce that his Ideas of news might be completely different from those of the people of Heppner, we wanted to stand up and say amen. Yet when we stopped to think about it, we changed our mind. The people of Heppner want a certain brand of jour nalism, and trying to figure that out has been the challenge of the summer. The opportunity to come back as more or less an out sider has given us a chance to view objectively what Is going on here. The lack of pressure is unbelievable. We still lock our car on the strpets of Heppner, just because everywhere we travel, If you don t you lose your car. It's not necessary In Heppner. That's something you can be proud of. We round out this summer about the lack of maturity of some of your youngsters. To some of them, a fight is the way to solve a minor problem. It s a way to assert their man hood when they have no other way to do it. And that isn't all their fault. It's the fault of parents who sit at home without knowing what their children are doing, and much less caring. Heppner needs something for Its teenagers to do. That's just a thought from this summer's thinking. Isn't it amazing how lime changes people? That's been a big discovery this summer. We've had more people tell us they didn't recognize us that did. And you have changed, too. Slowly, but you have chang ed. The something that will really break things loose in Heppner isn't very far away, we think. We could go on and on with thoughts. We've found out that a lot of people aren't that far out of touch with us youngsters, so we've been able to pass some of these thoughts along. Thanks for an Interesting summer, Heppner. From a police ride to a potato harvest, the fun has just about equal led the work. K. A.

One member, btaniey Minor, School Belli By HAROLD BEGGS Principal lone Schools Students in the schools of Morrow county are studying a "new" English this year. If you are a parent, you are hearing your children use such expres sions as, "kernal sentence", "de terminer', "morphene , or "pho neme". You may be wondering what you have missed and what this 'new English is, Why teach "new" English? What was wrong with the "old ' English? Educators have long been dissatisfied with the way English grammar is taught. The grammar which has been taught in public schools lor many years was originally a descrip tion of Latin grammar applied to the English language. Latin grammar does not match Eng lish usage. At the beginning of this cen tury, linguists began a scientif ic study of the English lang uage. The "new" English is the result of these scientific studies. The new English describes the underlying mechanisms by OFFICES OF THE PUBLISHERS, 147 W. Willow Street, Heppner, wnLcn speakers ol Engnsn gen- OF PUBLISHER, EDITOR, AND Oregon 97836. 6.

This allows us to generate sent ences according to the require ments of the situation we are in. The Roberts English program integrates literature, vocabulary, spelling and writing. The ser ies bases each grammar lesson on a literary selection. The writ ing and spelling lessons are built upon the literature selec tion which is presented in each unit. The writing assignment is usually the outgrowth of some thing from the literature which is of particular interest to the students. Teaching transformat i o na 1 grammar in the Morrow county schools is an attempt to provide the children of the district with the best possible instruction, us ing the best up-to-date mater ials. The selection of the Rob erts series was the result of the work of ten teachers and ad ministrators from the district. Several programs were consider ed before the selection was made. Why teach "new" English? It's the English your children speak. So do you. was presented his Jewel at the hospital during the day.

Sherman The Rhyming Philosopher RETROSPECTION There's a debt I owe that I cannot pay, Though I had all the wealth and power of kings, Besides all the time up to judgment day Borne with phantom -like haunt of rememberings. But whatever the sight of a graveyard brings With the fresh-cut flowers to honor the dead, Still there's always a tug on my taut heart-strings, And the guilt that I feel must needs be said. So my tear-3 well deep as the bugles pray For soldiers lain low by their broken wings, But for whom we might not be here today. Though I Question the need, there's no answerings. Knowing all that I am from a parent springs. A product of those who suffered or bled And who launched me on purposeful voyagings. Yet so little have I contributed. It is not that my thought to the graveyard clings As I pensively walk with my wonderings, , But rather that I should be heard to say A "thank you" to those who have passed this way. HARRY W.
