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.

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.

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.
Council discussed again the
need for a sidewalk down Riv

Dear Editors:
Well, you'll never guess who
called me today from Lake
Grove, a lovely spot near Lake
Oswego Ethel Adams. She

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.
