Hats Off to the High Schoolers A great deal of news In the past several years concerns young people who are rioting, burning down buildings, loot ing or otherwise raising general hell with things. Reading news of those happenings Just makes us gna.sh our teeth and almost brings tears of frustration. But then comes a sort of pleasant word from the high school that erases all these sad feelings. The high school student body Is putting forth a splendid effort to raise a thousand dollars for the Peace Corps to build a school in a "wiS coUXy to d0 thls for? In a tow words ,,hP put it this way "We have so much they have nothing. TO THE EDITOR... ci. r' r-i it is time that someone In Morrow County spoke . out about our air pollution proDiem. We have set on the sidelines too long. Our capacity lor snon sightedness is showing again. We of Mcrrow County may think that we have an inex haustible supply of fresh air. Unfortunately we have no sucli thing. Now is the time to curb our air pollution problems. At present the only industrial problems are sawmills and they will probably solve them in the near future. Another and more serious problem is that of private ve hicles. These vehicles account for sixty some percent of air pollution in the United States. In Morrow County it seems hard ly noticeable, but it is there, And it is all the more danger mm hornuse it is not immediate' ly tangible. The only idea that comes to mind is that of once nirnin writing Senators or Rep resentatives and asking them to pass legislation that would reg ulate us. These laws would have to have full voter support even if their passage meant heavier taxes. After all. which is better, to live in a slightly humbler fashion or (lie ricn and quick? The choice belongs to vou and I. Make the most of a chance to stop air pollution now. Sincerely, Rob (Robert H. Abrams) Dear Editors: My, what a working out the Gazette-Times gets that come to Terwilllger Plaza. Mrs. A. II. Nelson and Mrs. Anne Smouse each take it. It is passed on to Hortense Martin who reads it and then gives it to me. I In turn read it from cover to cov er, ads also, Just to keep up rn th news. Then I cut up the papers, mailing the tld bits to Ellis Thomson in new iorK ciiy nrt in Tom Farrell. formerly of Camp Heppner and now of Old Saybrook. Conn, rney in iurn enjoy them no end and com ment on them. So not a morsel is wasted. Elsie Fox, formerly Elsie Cow Ins of Heppner, takes the paper nd reads the "Letter" about former acquaintances and writes me as a result. She is now liv ing In Wenatchee, Wash. rnn McArdle. formerly of Camp Heppner, and now a po liceman in Holyoke. Mass., takes the paper and follows every word. Not to be outdone, one of the local Heppner bankers writes: "Enlov vour letters to the Edi tor. Seems like old times: "I cover the waterfront" in "Seen aloni? life's Highway." (Shades of the old column in the Pen dleton East Oregonlan). Very truly yours, Josephine Mahoney Baker Tel. 226-4911 2545 S. W. Terwilllger, Apt. 525 Portland 97201 January 23, 1970 The Gazette-Times Heppner, Oregon Gentlemen: Josenhine Mahoney was show ing me your Jan. 15. 1970 copy of your paper. In there was a picture of the 7th and 8th grade. I am enclosing fifty cents. Please send me as many copies as this half duck wui Duy. Keeping In mind that not long ago this half buck would have been worth three half bucks, So living in the past, even at fifty cents each, I should get three pictures. If there is any question about this please ask Dr. McMurdo or Frank Turner, they are both old enough to know what this is all about. Sincerely yours, Miles F. Potter 4522 N. E. 21st Portland, Ore. 97211 Dear Editors: About that mysterious picture! I wontfcsr how it got in the school room wall in the first place that, to me, is the real mystery. There was only one person In the picture I could readily identify; Samuel E. Not son, the county school superin tendent at that time. Later I recognized Mr. Copeland of the Hardman school. Since it has been determined the photo graph was taken in 1913 that would exclude Professor Reld, since he left the Heppner school system in 1909 and retired to Portland. Hamilton H. Hoffman came the following year (1910) and was superintendent of schools in the year the insti tute picture was taken. He is not in this picture. I have long advocated the Im mediate identification of all persons in a group picture by number, before all memories grow cold. It is a shame that some of the Morrow County ear ly pioneer group pictures can be identified only in part. I would say to one and all, bring out your group pictures and properly identify the Indiviidu als while you can still remem ber who they are. It may be very important 50 years hence. Sincerely, Art Crawford 4852 Kingston Way San Jose, Calif. 95130 REMEMBER THIS? REMINISCE! THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO February 7. 193S The countv court Monday re ceived the written resignation of fiav M. Anderson, county cierK, effective February 16. Members of the court last night announc ed a successor would be ap- nolnted , Saturday. The clems lenation followed trial on a charge of larceny of public mon ies, of which he was acquitted, returning of $3,802.42 to the county shown by audit of Wells & DeLapp of which $1,702.42 was recovered from National Surety Corporation, the clerk's sureties, and cancellation of the clerk's bond.

Jack man, extension specialist in crops, gave a lantern slide talk on forage plants and their adap tation to range conditions in this area. Hank Howell, genial weather Pioneer Ponderings By W.

Every im movement of the freeway be tween Boise and Portland that fi,ti thi drivlnc time an hour re duces the dependence of the tra vilr on roadside service to that extent. When it took three days to drive from the John Day c-oun-v to Pendleton. Uklah was a iiroiicrous town. Aioee mhi fxlsted. and Mopping places along the road to serve the team sters were numerous, now, takes 90 minutes to make the trip, and those services are no longer needed. As the driving time is shortened, the towns a- lmt the frewav will exjerlence the same to some extent. The answer to the problem is in creased travel. CHUCK WAGON Turner, Von Marter and Bry ant can hardly be called gyp sies, moving Just next door! A feller might think there was al most nothing to move but some old Insurance policies. Not so. They had a whale of a heavy safe to move about 1800 pounds. Nothing in it but it was vital to their office. Like most offices, it is used to pile stuff on in which there Isn't any oth er place on which to pile it. (Five or six friends came in and helped move it, and another five or six of us engineers stood around and gave advice). In our snooping around we discovered that Frank Turner was once a sheepherder. (My wife, Dorothy, has had a life time ambition to be a sheep herder.) Anyhow, as a young man Frank was invited to en ter a sheepshearing contest up in Montana. He explained that he was Just learning and would like to wait a year before en tering contests. The people in sisted he enter it anyway. So, In spite of an Australians brag and other's claimed expertise, Frank beat all comers. Orville Cutsforth accidentally lost a sizeable amount of cash on his way to lodge Thursday evening. He didn't know it was missing until he went to buy a ticket and discovered the money Was gone. This was pretty ser ious as this cash was to be va cation money to be used on a trip the Cutsforth's were taking with the Phil Mahoneys to the South Pacific, to Australia and New Zealand. Orville mentioned his loss and pretty soon Ralph Marlatt tossed him a neat lit tle roll of bills. (Ralph had gone outside a moment to look and see if it was raining. Lo and behold, there was a pile of money practically in the doorway! Orville is very grate ful and is Joined by the rest of us who are mighty proud of Ralph.) prophet at the court house, rises to remark that the groundhog, like lots of other things In this country, doesn't always run true to form.
