More Power to 'Em
Earth Day caused quite a ripple in Heppner last Wed
re'dav with students takir.p the lead to point out some of
t.'.c pollution areas they could do something about and others
t (y wish somtbodv else would do something about.
"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

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.

NEWS AND VIEWS FROM YOUR
FRIENDLY CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE
CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE?
We dont see how you missed us. There are a MILLION
enrolled in our Sur. iiy schools. There are more than 6.000 Xaz
arene congregations around the world, cared for by more than
that many ministers. For years the Church of the Nazarene has
led all other Protestant denominations of over 100.000 member
ship in per capita giving. AND when you are in Kansas City,
Mo, on vacation, be sure to see the Nazarene Publishing House
the seventh larg-t denominational publishing house in the
world publishing under the NPH and Beacon Hill imprint AND
that LiUenas music you see so often in advertisements and in
music stores is ours too. It is published also at Kansas City by
LUlenas Publishing Company, the largest gospel music pub
lishing house in the world. No wonder we are surprised that
you dont know us.
But that may be more our fault than yours. So while this
weekly article will acquaint you with our Church at large, we do
want to cordially invite you to visit with us and thus acquaint
yourself with our Heppner Church. We just hope that in a few
weeks we will never be strangers again.

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. CHUCK WAGON

"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

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.
