HEPPNEB GAZETTE REMEMBER THIS? . . . . 20 TEARS AGO (Aug. 28, 1941) Housing Problem The influx of people to town for the school year, starting next Tuesday has brought the most serious housing problem Hepp ner has experienced in many years. Real estate offices are facing a constant demand for living quarters, while numerous transactions have been reported, Daily people are asking "Where can I got a house." Wettest August of Record, 2.07 .85 inch fell Tuesday to give Harvesters trouble. Heppner's curbs ran full of water within a short time Tuesday afternoon when Jupiter Pluvious spilled .85 inch of moisture to give the city one of its wettest days in history and bring the record for August well above that for any August shown on the charts. Heppner was not alone in re ceiving the drenching which proved less welcome to those wheat farms having the remain ing fourth of the county's bump er wheat crop still standing. The downpour reached cloud burst proportions in spots, with damage to summer fallow, fenc , es and roads. No material loss of grain has been reported. Antelope Tags Tags are still available to hunters, the bag limit Is one antelope of either sex, and tags cost $1 each for resident or non resident hunters. This fee is in addition to the regular hunting license fee. Lively Good Prices, Ram Sale Strong condition of the sheep and wool market was reflected in the Oregon Woolgrowers as sociation ram sale at Pendle ton last Friday. More than 700 head of animals were sold at ' prices almost double a year ago, a strong demand being shown for all types. One pen of Hamp shires brought the top market at $65 per head, while a Suf folk stud brought a high lndi vidual price, $250. Prices and Costs Up As Big Crops Stored Material increases in both farm prices and farm cost and further indications of a total U. S. output of farm products approaching record proportions are outstanding among the facts included in a review of the agricultural situation and outlook just issued by the Ore gon State college extension ser vice. The report gives particu lar attention to the market out look for wheat from the crop to the planted this fall and next spring. The sharp uptrend in prices for farm products is attributed to strong consumer purcnasing power ana otner factors associated with the war ON TILES SUSPENDED CEILINGS FEATURING Kingsbury Cushionloie Chsperone TemloK Stop in and see these newest Armstrong ceilings, and take ad vantage of our summer ceilings bargains.
