Easter Sunday
ur..n iic uvun Thp dale Ik Aoril 11. 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

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.

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. In
