Dorothy and Charlie are In Morrow County on the third try' - - - - - First time was during World War II when we tried to make a deal on the Heppner Gazette-Times. Had we actually concluded the purchase, it would have been something for Dorothy as a few weeks later Charlie was drafted and in the U. S. Navy. He left his wife with two kids and a Jersey cow named Gertie, a fair handful without a newspaper to run, too. Why would anyone want to move to Heppner, anyhow? The answer In our case Is in the friendliness of the peo ple of the area. We are strictly rural people and favor small communities. As far as we're concerned, cities are for the birds. We much prefer the genuine warmth that Is so evi dent In this country. It Is our fond hope to produce a little newspaper you folks will be proud of. It is going to take time for us to get acquaint ed, as you already know. And we'll surely appreciate your bear ing with us during our period of tenderfootedness here. Please don't hesitate to call us with news. We're here to serve you. About the Heard The Heards are both Oregonians. Dorothy born at Al bany claims Ontario as her home town.

All such units must be licensed before March 31. Chester W. Ott, administrator of the agency, said Thursday that owners of campers will be issued a plate and validating sticker, as well as a separate, small metal serial number tag that must be affixed to the camper unit. Camper plates will be black with white numbers. Ott said the agency is receiv ing some questions about the camper licensing phase of the new law, although implementa tion still Is some weeks away. The legislation also changed the method of calculating fees for travel trailers, motor homes and mobile homes. The most frequently asked questions concern measurement of the camper units, since fees are to be calculated on that basis. The basic fee, he said, will be $10 plus $1.50 per foot for each foot of length over the first 10 feet. There also will be a $2 title fee when the unit is first registered or when owner ship Is transferred. Ott says the law requires that campers be measured by over all length from the extreme front to the extreme rear of the floor and, for purposes of fee calculation, the floor will be considered only as that portion that sits on the pickup or truck bed. including any rear over hang but not the cab overhang. A camper is defined, under the law, as a unit designed for hu man habitation or camping, with a separate camper floor of 6 feet or more in length, 5 feet or more inside height from floor to ceiling at any point, and no more than one axle design ed to support part of the camp er weight. If a camper telescopes, the height measurement is to be based on the unit as fully ex tended. Fees collected for campers, travel trailers and motor homes under the new law are desig nated for acquisition and main tenance of state parks. if SHRINE AND MASONIC members of Heppner gathered a good amount of food supplies Friday morning, to be contributed to the annual Food Caravan to the Shriner's Hospital In Portland.
