In the Christian world, Easter Sunday commemorates the Resur rection of Christ. Easter customs, as we practice them in the U. S. lody, are a singular tribute to the spirit of Easter and to the qui t freshness of a Spring morning when one can al most feel, for a few hours, the pervading sense of tranquility and consideration of our fellowman that 2,000 years ago re-las-d humanity from the bondage of sheer barbarism. Manv capture the spirit of Easter by going to Church. The simple Euj'ier egg hunt and the tradition of the Easter bon net lend joy and color to the occasion. All of the ways in which Easter Is observed hold a certain humility as they should. Easter is a day of civilizing influence. It Is merely one day out of 3C5, but it is a day that expresses the way we thould Jive throughout the year In humble respect for the unseen power that guides our lives. All Invited to Attend Good Friday Service All faiths will be represented in the annual Good Friday service to which everyone is Invited. The service will be composed of multiple sessions beginning at 2 p.m. at the Assembly of God Church. Speakers will be the ministers of the churches in south Morrow County. The different lights of day and night at the time of Christ s Crucifixion will be tola. 2:00 Rev. Dun Thompson, "By Moonlight". 2:20 Rev. Rudy Mensch, "By Torchlight". 2:40 Rev.

Shown is a feller looking with consternation at a huge poet covered with directional signs to about even-where on earth. Right smack in the middle is a sign to Heppneri New that spring is Just around the corner you may want to know about some little old facts we gathered down at Phoenix. Elegant little baby palm trees are only 76 cents. But bearing age citrus trees, 6 years old, are $21.88. Choice of orange, grape fruit, lemon, tangerine or tan gelo. In a store we read this kind of a thinly veiled warning: If von hear a snoi. aon i oe alarmed. It Just means we'v caught another shoplifter. After talkino to the Charles Ruggles, we expected some sun whine anrl a little warmth, nev er expected it to be In the Pichtif-v. But thev were right, it can pet hot.

I UrA Tr.nsxt orinrim itrf man Too Late and So Sad The SST will come. Airlines have to compete and they will compete with aircraft required. They would prefer U. S. equipment but they will use what is available. The French "Concorde" will enter the market in 1973 according to French officials. It is important that the United States keep its position at the head of the line in aero-space. It is important that every type of American worker be employed from the scient ists, engineers, blue collar worker and on down the line to maintenance men. Not with Just "busy work" which is what some government programs amount to. The SST program would have provided a shot in the arm for the northwest as well as the whole United States. The employment would have boomed. Subtracting would have filtered down into Oregon. It would put the United States out in front in aerospace. The place we need to be. Action . , . USASST . The SST program is controversial. It has strong sup port and considerable opposition. There also is quite a bit of confusion about the U. S. SST program and the operation al aspects of the airplanes. Too Answer: SST proponents are aware of other national priorities. However, the SST program can be a plus factor in providing Jobs and a substantial tax base to support other national needs. The prototype development program will provide direct employment for about 20,000 persons at peak activity in mid 1971 and about half of these persons will work for sub-contractors and suppliers Jn states throughout the nation. The production program for commercial SSTs will em ploy about 50,000 persons at peuk production. About half of these will be sub-contractor and supplier employees. If the secondary or "multiplier" effects are considered, the SST production program will provide employment at peak activity for more than 150,000 persons. The above Information comes from a Committee for an American SST at Seattle. The SST and What It Means to The Oregon Economy from the Oregon Committee for an American SST. Assumptions: 200-500 planes to be sold between 1976 1990. 3 4 planes per month to be built during peak production. Oregon companies to participate In SST subcontracting on basis comparable to their past experience on Boeing planes. 15 of the titanium Ingot required will be produced in OREGON. , Total estimated sales per plane by OREGON companies $843,000. , Less components produced by OREGON companies out side the state, $250,000 Net production in OREGON per plane, $593,000. Benefits for the OREGON ECONOMY. Total sales by Oregon companies on SST program $120,000,000 to $300,000,000. Peak annual SST sales by Oregon companies $27,000,000. Full time Oregon employment potential for 5 10 years 1,100 persons. ' Prototype work on SST by Oregon companies during the next several years will help substantially to offset the losses in production on small Jet planes.

The surprise call came Irom Salem to the school shortly be fore vacation that he had been named to serve by Senator Run Raymond. Harvey, a 13 year old 7th gra der is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Cleo Childers. He liked the ac tivity of taking phone messag es and delivering notes.

He scanned our flies ana deduced that Heppner was founded about 1871. From Infor mation supplied by Elaine George, we believe Heppner was founded in 1872 when J. L.

Laurie cnuaers, reporter Moro, Oregon April 3, 1971 Heppner Gazette-Times Heppner, Oregon To the Editor: Perhaos I should communicate directly to the people of Morrow County. The history of Morrow county has been written and is in the hands of the publishers. It will always be a history of Morrow County and be so known. But every such book is given a ti tle somewhat descriptive and designed to be more "catchy" than a history. At present the name ine Heppner Hills" is the title for the book. Why? The area that is now Morrow County was call ed the Henoner Hills before the legislators named it Morrow be cause they liked Jackson Mor row. The Heppner Hills was what John W. Redington called the area when he came here to run the first newspaper and that was before the Idea of a county had developed. He loved the Heppner hills ana a aoes have a musical, alliterltive sound. Henry Heppner was sure ly the positive influence that made Heppner grow and become transportation center, tnat made it bieeer than Moro or Condon of other similar county seat towns. But that doesn't have to be the name of the book. Someone may suggest a better name.
