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).

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.

noon, the blaze starting from a
defective flue.
Alonzo Edmundson's condit

working with him six to eight
hours each day to mend Injur

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

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."

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.
