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

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).

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,

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,

Speed Does It
As progress Is made In the
development of our highway sys
tem, changes come to the econ
omy of roadside town and com
munities. Some are Improved,
olhcrs are dislocated. 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.)

IONE LIVESTOCK
On Jan. 25, the lone Livestock

ing at the Paul Tews home. We
are going to raise money for
paint to be used on some road
signs. Each member is supposed
to earn a dollar or more in any
way they can.
John Ekstrom talked about
our 4-H permanent records. Clay
West talked about feed records
and Richard and Stuart Keene

ords. We adjourned the meeting
and had refreshments.
