Wanted: A White Stripe Just as the white stripe down the middle of the back of the well-known forest animal Is a safety stripe, keep away he can be dangerous ... so is the center white stripe down the middle of the highway a safety stripe. Hazardous winter driving conditions are made more precarious without that safety line: specifically the bombing range road and the Sand Hollow Road. Driving them in a fog recently brought to mind the indlspensableness of the middle white line that has been taken for granted for so long. The bombing range road is straight for miles but at the top of the raises, the head lights go up Into nothing and there's no way to tell where the road is. The fog gets thicker on the Sand Hollow Road but the weeds growing closer to the edge of the road reflect the head lights better to mark the side of the road. Most drivers would drive on the line until meeting a car as they do now drive the center of the road. Then the line serves a dual purpose, it tells the other driver where he's supposed to stay and not take his half out of the middle of the road. Night or day, sunshine, fog, snow or driving rain the white line is a real service. It relieves eye strain and phys ical stress to reduce the chance of accidents. It is hoped the county road budget can be stretched far enough this year to paint the white safety line down the cen ter of the bombing range road and the Sand Hollow Road. A Time for Self-Appraisal The nation will shortly be observing National Crime Pre vention Week. The dates are February 814. The purpose of the week is: 'To alert America to (the) growing menace and cost of crime, and stimulate public Interest In year-around crime prevention activities." If ever there was an officially designated week that de serves support, this is it And, undoubtedly it will get that support, at least Insofar as speeches and other gestures of ap preciation to law enforcement agencies are concerned. But if Crime Prevention Week is to mean anything, it must be taken as an occasion to launch a continuing program of individual self-appraisal. Crime prevention rests in a deep-seated respect for persons and property. It cannot be delegated to the church, the school, the court or police officers. It is born of the dis cipline that starts in the first year of life. Thus, crime pre vention and a law-abiding society begin at home. The dis cipline of the home is the first requisite of an orderly society. All else is supplementary. (News Review).

Fiesta Bowl REMEMBER THIS? REMINISCE! FORTY YEARS AGO January 23. 1930 In Heppner the temperature has been down to 18 below for a week. Temperatures of more than 25 below have been re ported at different points in the county. More snow began fall ing Saturday morning, bringing the total depth in Heppner to 15 inches. To raise funds for the school library, members of the faculty of Heppner school will present "Smile, Rodney, Smile", a com edy with laughs galore, on Tuesday, February 18, at the high school auditorium. As there are only three men on the faculty, it has been neces sary to "borrow" two men from the community to fill the male roles. C. J. D. Bauman's ear was frozen while walking from his home to the court house Mon day morning. The Eastern Oregon Wheat league will be tendered an in vitation to have its next an nual convention in Heppner, by the Heppner Lion's Club, which passed a resolution to this ef fect at its Monday luncheon. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Roberts was damaged to the extent of about $-100 by fire at 3:00 Wednesday after noon, the blaze starting from a defective flue. Alonzo Edmundson's condit ion is slightly improved, ac cording to his mother, who re turned from Portland by train today. Specialists have been working with him six to eight hours each day to mend Injur ies to his Jaw. Edmundson was injured in an automobile acei dent more than a month ago. On Friday, while making the regular trip to Heppner, the stage broke down between lone and Lexington, and the passen gers were transported by auto. Poetry from Turn-A Lum Lum ber Co. ad: Cowboys roll their cigarettes, The flapper rolls her hose, j The baker first rolls up his sleeve, And then he rolls in dough. Sailors always roll their walk, Scotchmen roll their "Rr-r's", When a crap shooter rolls a natural, He rolls in a Rolls Royce car. Pioneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHHX The Dilemma Of Our Dollar Much is being written and more said about the effect of Inflation on the trade value of our dollar. People with low or stationary incomes are being badly pressed. However, there is a class of people who shouldn't be in that squeeze. Those who have had their salaries doubled or tripled during the decade have two or three dollars to re place the dollar they began with. Their relative position hasn't changed by inflation. If they are in trouble, It Is because they have over-extended their com mitments. Their economic posit ion is comparable to that of a stock in a company that makes a "split." TO THE EDITOR...

Second Duck: "Listen, if 1 had two tails and they were both on fire, you wouldn't even see me!" The picture of the group run in the 1170 issue has been positively Identified. It was tak en at a Morrow County Teach ers Institute in the fall of 1913. The identification came from Mrs. Ray Taylor. She recogniz ed one of the teachers as her 8th grade teacher. She brought in a picture of the 7th and 8th grades taken that same fall with the same teacher, Miss Hazel Faucett. As Miss Faucett only taught here the one term the year is pretty easily determ ined. The two groups had their pic tures taken on the back steps of the old school house on the hill between the present hospi tal and elementary school. This was the last year this building was used. School was held in the "new" building the next year which is the present Jun ior High. Several called in to identify S. E. Notson who was county school supt. at the time. He is the one sitting with his arms folded in the grey suit front and middle of the picture. His wife is the woman wearing the feathered hat leaning against the porch pillar. Mrs. Roy Campbell of Lexington is 2nd State Gl Loans Growing Here The Oregon Dept. of Veterans Affairs reports its highest year In both numbers and dollar vol ume of loans for the purchase of homes and farms.

Mrs. Taylor recognized Grace Stomp (Shown) now living in Irrigon. Miss Long, the music teacher; Margaret Osten and her sister Winifred, Mabry Currin, Opal Briggs, Helen Aimes (Cohn). Lower right front seated is Herbert Copeland who was prin cipal of Hardman School. When Roy Knighten was in he said he remembered this one but he couldn't think of his name. Mrs. Taylor still has a piece of sheet music that Mr. Copeland had composed. Mrs. Etta Parker identified "Professor Reed" who was Hepp ner's School supt. He is the scholarly looking fellow in the second row close to the center. She also found Ethel Casey. Josephine Mahoney Baker wrote, "The middle one front row, looks like my half brother, Ralph D. Jones. But I'm really not sure". The original picture is still at the Gazette-Times office. Anyone wishing to look at it through a magnifying glass Is cordially invited to stop in and have a look.
