HOWDY, FOLKS
We finally made It!
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.

"Our attorneys do not and
cannot offer general legal ad
vice to the public on matters
not relating to laws enforced by
the Bureau of Labor," the Com
missioner explained. Nllsen not
ed, however, that any wage
claim which falls under the pro
visions of the state statutes
would be pursued with vigor
and diligence.
Mere are some of the ques
tions and their answers about
what helps to determine non
eligiblllty for the use of Bureau

ices which have been posed to

ant is still working for him.

Pills are part of today's world.
Il-ople take pills to pep up.
To calm down. To cure TB. To
stop having babies.
Pills can be beneficial. Eut
Dills especially those not pre
scribed bv physicians can have
Mrange effects. Pep pills, for In
Mance. can have a downboM
kickback. At least lor rats. And
probably for humans, loo.
In experiments at Boston L'ni
versitv. Dr. Aarlo Latz cave am
Dhetamines pep pills to rats
for 10 days. The pills made the
rats perform poorly on tasKs
thev were trained to do. Their
Derformance declined with oacn
successive day on trie puis, tv
en after the effects of the drug
had worn off, the rats sti.l per
iormed badly. The letdown ling
ers.
Apparently the effects of some
pep pills depend not only on
the drug itself but also on the
situation. Kats given small dos
es of dexedrlne another pep
pep pill may get sick and
die If put In the company of
other rats. But they seem fine
if left alone. After taking the
pills, they perform better on
tasks if they are kept away
from company.
The meaning for humans.'
Nobody knows yet. But pep pills
probably have a de-pepping er-
lect at parties, at least. I he
chemical reactions triggered in
the brain by these pills are now
under investigation at the Uni
versity of Rhode Lsland. Pep
pills are risky items.
The people at your local tu
berculosis and respiratory dis
ease association have no pamph
lets on pep pills. But they have
lots of information about other
pills that prevent and cure TB.
Find out about them. You may
know someone who needs them.

New Law Affects
Camper Licenses
The Oregon Motor Vehicles
Division will begin licensing
campers, an estimated 20,000 of
them in January under a new
law approved by the 1969 Leg
islature. 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.
