Winter Driving Tips Here are some points to stress In changing driving hab its during the winter months: At night it's harder to see and be seen In time to take evasive jtctlon. R dure speed when It's dark, both day or night, so you don't overdrive your headlights (1. e., obtain a speed that will not allow you to stop within the distance of your headlights give clear visibility.) Vision can be deceptive during the twilight, so slow down and turn on your headlights. Allow more "space cushion" between your car and the one ahead, because poor weather conditions reduce visibility and the ability to stop. Keep the entire windshield and all windows clean of Ice, snow, and frost Turn on the directional signals well In advance to give the driver behind you as much notice as possible. On ice and snow, turn comers slowly and keep your speed uniform. Tump the brakes when stopping on Ice and snow to main tain better control of your car. How About You? Teople worry about big things but get killed by small things. Living is so complicated these days that folks don't even worry straight. You worry about radioactive fallout . . . then get poisoned wnue spraying iiowers. You worry about the kids running in front of cars . . , then drag them across on a red light You 'worry about crashing In an airplane . . . then fall off a ladder while painting the house. You worry about not getting enough exercise . , . then drive two blocks for cigarettes. You worry about becoming a success . . . then never get a medical check-up. You worry about greasing the car every thousand miles . . . then wrap it around a culvert. You worry about the kids getting proper nourishment . . . then leave poisons around for them to snack on. You worry about retirement . . . then do all you can to keep from lasting that long. You worry about H-bombs . . . then blow your head off lighting a stove. You worry about polio . . . then get crippled by a power mower or tool. You worry about tornadoes . . . then get liquidated in a whirl-wind-force auto collision. You worry about winning a football pool . . . then gam ble with your lives and limbs with nary a thought. It's airtight to worry about the spectacular but the ordin ary will kill you. When you drive, remember that anger Is one letter short of danger. FROM KINZUA LOG Informed Children "Even a schoolchild knows that" Is a favorite expression of smug adulthood that must strike many third graders as rather stupid. How many adults, for instance, know anything about the space shuttle upon which scientists and engineers are now working? How many adults are familiar with a technique by which highway builders now try to plan a road that becomes part of the landscape instead of just an other eyesore? How many adults know about the mounting trash problem? About a billion pounds of trash is thrown away each year some five pounds for every person. How many adults know what is being done to solve this problem? And how many adults know Interesting facts that were turn ed up in the last national census facts that will have a bearing on how we may live In the future? These, and other matters, are part of the "reauired read- lng" of many school children who have barely learned to read and write. The average child must know far more than the average adult of current events If he is to get along in school. Education, at least in the primary grades, may de serve more credit than it has been receiving from elders. Onrille CuUforth said there was 34 Inches of wet snow up st Lake Pinland dam. He had also flown over the new lake recently and said It was a beautiful sight. Dan McBride had a spooler! experience the other day. When he arrived at Ruprs. the wheel! fell off his car. Someone had removed all but one lug nut. He managed to get the wheel bfick on. git home without any IU7 nuts by accelerating and braking. koj,lng tension on the lugs. Well, sir, their oU cow died. They got the tractor out but the bulldozi-r wouldn't budge the frozen ground. What to do? Ev en for those who have every thing, this is perhaps the mast unacceptable of Christmas pres ents. Mil w -tV i L. . . -.4 ; f . f t ' 1 .- Bib JSl ..!. m Mi j,..ttK--.M wn milium i Some Morrow County folks have worked hard in getting the Arbuckle Mountain ski run ready for use this winter. They nave, oi course, been hoping they and others could use the ski run for skiing. So far, the run is all tangled up with gov ernment red tape. We expect the use permit for the ski run will get here about July 4! we seem to be about a year or so behind in worrying about our problems. Perhaps you and I had better cancel last year's worries and get some brand new shiny ones. Of course, a few of the big ger problems may be pretty hard to shove under the rug. Harold Wrights bad a ewe that had a 25 pound lamb re cently. We understand that a 12 or 15 pound lamb is usual ly considered a large one. Ralph Thompson, Morrow County Surveyor, appeared be fore County Clerk Sadie Parrish Tuesday morning at the Court house and was sworn in. Mr. Thompson wished to thank everyone for their sup port. He said that, while he lives in Pendleton, he welcomes everyone with any problems in surveying. He said in an emer gency to contact Judge Paul Jones. 1 CITY OFFICIALS take oath of office administered by Attorney Phil Mahoney. From left: Elaine George, Rita Hedman, Jerry A.

Well No. 5 The problems of Well No. 5 were discussed at great length. The well has a depth of 420 1 feet but has been filled in with cuttings and rock above the 280 foot which Is the desired pump depth. This is the condition the well was left by Mr. Foreman who drilled the well. Mr. Groshen said he felt the well was worth saving. While the well had not been tested, they blew it and it was esti mated it was producing 600 gal lons per minute. Mayor Collins said there was $3500 earmarked to complete the well. If it could be cleaned out for this amount, it would still be a good well. The city has $4480 in the well to date. It was finally agreed that the city would put out an all out effort to get the well cleaned out, if not by contract by hourly rate. A call for bids would be run in the Heppner Gazette-Times.

LETTERS EDITOR 7 Dear Editors: Well, you'll never guess who called me today from Lake Grove, a lovely spot near Lake Oswego Ethel Adams. She owned a home in Heppner near Pioneer ronaenngs Br W. S. CAVERHILL Why Not Brevity? I read a recent article by a College Professor In which he squandered several thousand words in an attempt to find a way out of our social disorder. After a mental meandering through his wilderness of words, I came to the conclusion that a better approach would be to re-Invoke The Ten Command ments, i where the Jimmy Farleys now live. I hadn't heard from her years so there were a lot fences to mend. Others from Heppner living in LaKe Grove are Dick O'Shea now vt. O'Shea and related to Harold Cohn, and Earl Clary, now a dentist there. My, what a small world. Mrs. Alfred Nelson, Sr., has returned to her home in Port land after spending the Christ mas holidays with her sons and their wives. Mr. and Mrs. Nor man NeLson and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nelson and thtir families at the Nelson ranch near Lexington. Other members of the family present were Mr. and Mrs. How ard Slonecker and family and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mason. Jr.. and family of Oak Grove. Mrs. Slonecker and Mrs. Mason are daughters of Mrs. Nelson. There were several inches of snow at the NeLson ranch so the young people had a great time coasting.
