"CONGRATULATIONS to the Heppner elementary school Mud. nu who were out all day with sacks In hand p-kirE up litter from bank to bank along the creeks, back alleys and side streets. They surely will put their own litter In the barrels and basiceLs and see that their families do likewise after those hours of back bending labor. The high school took another approach to the problem. Thev provided a program to hear reports from members of the 'Sociology Class on pollution of the air and water. This was followed bv a panel of local people who aired pollution problems in their own professional areas or personal inter- They closed their evening with slides of eve sores in and about Heppner. It was GOOD listening. Better yet if It prompts some action. On the theory1 that the squeaky wheel gets the oil we hope the studei.ts won't stop but continue pushing until they attain some of their goals. Hearing on Willow Creek A hearing on various projects Is coming up soon. The prooosed Willow Creek Dam project has a chance for some funding if we ari noisy enough . . . and lucky enough. Con gressman Al Uilman has alerted the Morrow County Court about a hearing in Washington, D. C. next Tuesday. The Chamber of Commerce will send Clarence Rosewall and the County Court will send Commissioner Jack Van W inkle. These penUemen will present the case for the Willow Creek project. We understand this has been done about three times be fore this so it is a "never say die" effort. This year, they have added ammunition following last year's flood, even though it was on an adjoining creek. Good News for Irrigators Some big tilings are happening here in Morrow County. You and I have seen the beginnings of the coming revolution in agriculture here, with some acreage going Into potatoes and beans. Ken Turner and the Lindstrom Bros., among many others, had pointed out the possibilities. Also, they had point ed out the big fat limitation water. Early this week it appeared that the 160 acre Bureau of Reclamation ownership limitation for Irrigating was done for. This has stopped four or five large developments in north Morrow County. Long range effects, we believe, will be great and may reach right down to the very center of the county if pumping from the Columbia develops as we believe it will Mrs. Hay DroJoa was called to Spokane Sunday by the sudden death of her brother. Stephen Elmo Wright Funeral rvices were held Wednesday in Spo kane and Mrs. Drake expects to spend the rest of the week there.

Gratefully yours, Mrs. Lois Winchester Dear Dorothy and Charlie, Do you know, or have you heard has anything construc tive been done towards build ing the Willow creek dam? Af ter the June 1969 flood. Judge Jones journeyed to the Capitol, to attempt to start some action on the Willow creek dam, which was authorized by Congress in 1965. What has been done, be sides more money spent on 'studies'? There have been studies since 1903. Where have these 'studies' led? Nowhere? Heppner is my hometown. I am interested in my hometown. Sometime in the future, my hus band, Jim and I plan to return to Heppner. Will Heppner still be plagued with the threat of yearly spring floods? Or will there be a dam on Willow creek to handle the cloud bursts? Or possibly two small er dams would be the answer to the problem which has plagued Heppner since the dis aster of 1903. If you have any 'info' on the Willow Creek Reservoir, I would appreciate hearing it Soon, it will be Memorial Day, and the first half of June, when the other floods have occurred. I would like to see the floods stopped and the water used for building, not destroying Hepp ner. My husband and I and our children enjoy reading the Gazette-Times each week. Sincerely. Nancy J.

CAVTBHILL The Coming Election The May and November elec tions this year are of unusual importance. The money situa tion, the riots, the campus un rest and higher taxes are reas ons for the average voters' ap prehensions. It is difficult to get a good man or woman with out special interest to run for office. This is a time when we should look carefully at the peo ple who are running for city, school and county offices. Those who are seeking to return and have done a creditable jod should not be retired because they may have opposed some regional or personal request, it takes good men to do that some times.

Over The Tee Cup By MARIE McQUARRIE "Annual Work Day" turned out to te an "on again off again" affair, but finally ended up to be "on" for a few brave, warm-blooded industrious men and women. The men who did show up did a good job where time and weather permitted. The gals prepared a nice lunch for them, which tasted mighty good coming into the warm club house. Thanks to everyone who ignored our unseasonal wea ther and did their job Sunday. Another work day will be plan ned but that can wait until we can be half-way sure of a nice day. The Bank of Eastern Oregon donated three full years of their nice large calendar sheets to the Willow Creek Country Club. These will be hanging on the wall in the clubhouse and co ming dates and events can be posted to remind everyone just what is going on. We certainly appreciate your giving these to us and a 'Great Big "Thank You" Bank of Eastern Oregon. The ladies decided snow was not conducive to good golf so our "first Ladies Day iouna none of us on the course We are hoping (and who isn't?) for better weather next week. Lad ies Day starts at 9:30 A.M. Next week, May 5th, will be the first Tuesday of the month and will be sack lunch day and a meet ing, so stick around, gals, after playing and we will all eat to gether and visit and maybe talk a little business.
