It is with tears in many eyes, that see the beautiful tall slim poplar trees going down on Chase St. It's a chain action. This is said to be necessary because the power pole has to be moved. The power pole has to be moved because the Shobe channel has to be widened. The Shobe channel has to be widened so that it can accommodate the amount of water that came down Shobe Canyon in the 1969 flood. The City of Heppner is paying the Power company $1254.52 for moving the pole. It is too bad that consideration wasn't given to putting the wires underground for this new instal lation. The Telephone Co. put their new installation along Cannon St. underground. ?o not only do we lose the trees but we continue pollut ing the air with wires. These trees have provided pleasure for people and birds. Shade for people as well as enjoyment watching the leaves unfold in the spring in the most dainty spring green then to become golden in the fall. The birds have nested in that tree and are heard chattering off and on all spring, summer and fall. The trees have many foes besides the natural elements. Power companies don't like trees. Winds whip the limbs on the wires. City crews don't like trees, the roots get into water mains. Trees are worth their weight in gold in purifying the nir. Tliey take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. Their hade can act as an air conditioner in the summer to lower the temperature around them 10 and 15 degrees. They furnish refuge and homes for birds and many furnish food for the birds. They hold the soil from erosion and shade smaller plants from the sun. For every tree taken down, somewhere away from wires and water mains another tree should be planted. Then al most all of us will be happy! All About Horses By D WIGHT STEWART Bob Beeler of Salinot, Kansas writes 1 have been riding my two-year-old Appaloosa with the hackamore. How is the best way to change him to a bit? Assuming that your colt reins well and will stop and back with the hackamore, the best way is to start by putting the bridle on over the hackamore, but without any reins on the bridle. When he is accustomed to the bridle, add the reins but make the hackamore do most of the reining. Then begin by reining him lightly with the. bridle reins and if he does not respond, use the hackamore. When he reins light with the bridle, you can leave the hackamore in the barn. Ethyl Bedford. Springfield, Missouri asks My father bought me a palomino mare. She foxtrots. Can I show her in western classes in a horse show? That's a no-no! You can show her in timed events but not in pleasure horse or horsemanship classes. The rules say that a pleasure horse must be shown at the flat-footed walk, trot and lope. Perhaps you can teach her to walk if you don't go very fast. Missouri has many fox-trotters and even has races for them. The fox-trot, the running walk, the single-foot, the pace, amble, slow gait and rack are gaits that are not permissible In a western pleasure horse class i oneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHILL It Won't Work President Nixon's plan for re vamping our public relief-pro gram won't work. The percent ages are against it according to the researchers. Eighty per cent of those on relief are not quail lied for a work program. That leaves twenty per cent to specu late with it. It Is quite possible that five per cent will find ref uge among the eligible. Five per cent will Join protestors against menial Jobs. Four per cent would rather steal, three per cent will have no transpor tatlon and two per cent will be incompetent. That leaves one per cent we might force to work, but it will take a lot of In spectors to find him and a de tachment of supervisors to keep him on the lob. The President's plan makes pleasant reading, but It won't work. Worship Hour Changes Choir Rehearsing It's back to winter hours at the Methodist Church: come at 11:00 not at 10:OO.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT Sept. 21, 1971 Charles Heard Heppner, Oregon 97836 Your letter to the "Postal Service", Seattle, Wash., has been referred to me for consid eration and comment. I regret that in the conversa tion we had one day last month words I used could be constru ed to mean that our service was conducting a survey leading to possible elimination of all Sat urday Service. No such policy has been announced, and no such program is being consider ed as far as I know. Heppner is, according to a former Postal Service Officer as signed to this area, the only First or Second class post office in SCF 978 (offices attached to Pendleton) offering any Satur day window service. We will continue to do so as long as permitted. The hours of this service are subject to change and perhaps elimination. You will, in any event be notified in writing over my signature when service changes are im minent. James H.

My great-grandparents and other relatives died in the flood. I would appreciate any information you can give me on the following names: Thomas Howard, Rebecca Long Howard great grandparents; Mary Howard, Nellie Howard, Mabel Howard aunts; John L. Ayers uncle. Is there anyone in Heppner who has kept geneological rec ords on residents of Morrow County? Thank you very much your help. Sincerely, Lloyd D.

Dr. Wclff Best in Horticulture In spite of the early frost and very uncooperative season there were approximately 200 horticul ture entries with Dr. W.H. Wolff, Heppner, receiving the best in horticulture with his salmon gladiolus. There were 62 decor ative arrangements using 13 dif ferent flower powers as their theme: Foot power, horse power, wheel power, solar power, steam power, color power, chlorophyll power, moon power, atomic pow er, time power, recycling power, political power, and man power, Mrs. Lee Pettyjohn received best of arrangements with her horse power arrangement using a large piece of pine bark at the base and for height a tan and brown branch. At the foot of the branch were three bronze mums and sage brush for the greens. A small hand tooled leather saddle and a rearing brown stallion completed the "horse power" theme.

Two new sections were added to the show this year. Conserva tion, Arts and Crafts which gave people a chance to show their oil floral paintings, seed pic- lures, dried materials and wea thered wood.

The conservation section was using a shopping bag hand decorated using a slogan as for a litter bag. Winning first was Mrs. Lee Pettyjohn, second Mrs. Ralph Crum and third Mrs. Van Hubbard. Judge for the show was State Garden Club Board accredited flower show judge Mrs. Vern Smith, Corvallis Garden Club, Capitol Arrangers Guild of Sa lem. A special feature of the show was a demonstration by Mr. and Mrs. Vern Smith on mounting weathered wood and using them in arrangements. Mr. Smith, research analyst at the Radiation Center, Oregon State, is also an arranger. Mrs. Smith said "Once you get a piece of wood mounted like you want, you have a basis of numerous arrangements. You beautiful with any of them." Weathered Wood Some points she brought out in the care of weathered wood: When you find that "just right" piece of driftwood or weathered wood and you want to clean and bleach it, use equal parts clorox and water. But please do nothing to the very desireable gray patinal pieces. If you must peel your wood, it should be done while green or it must be soaked. After cleaning and bleaching you may treat the wood with linseed oil, stain or liquid wax (no lemon wax). You may want to paint your wood but always use a dull flat coat. If you are making wood base rounds cut from trees, to mount your weathered branches or wood on, they should be treated with V2 and linseed oil and paint thinner to keep the wood from cracking. You may also use a base made of Portland cement, sand and ver miculite in equal parts. If you don't like the shape of certain pieces you may break and glue them together in a desired shape. Mrs. Smith also pointed out tnat it is permissible to use both dried materials and fresh in a creative arrangement, Children's Chorus Starts Rehearsals Mrs. Bruce Griffith met with children from pre-school age through the fifth grade for a first rehearsal of the Heppner Children's Chorus in the base ment of the United Methodist Church on Monday. This chorus is open to any children from any church or from no church. They just need to be interested in group sing ing and to come to rehearsals on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30. Mrs. Griffith is an experienc ed leader of smaller children who has had charge of good sized Sunday School groups and several year's experience with vacation Bible school. She says this chorus will have fun. Plans include Christmas carol ing in Heppner and at surround ing ranches (weather permit ting) and appearances at spe cial services as requested. Any mother who would like to help Ann especially one who plays the piano should phone her at 676-5554. 1971 Readers Answer 1941 Ad for Auto In the Sept. 16 issue of the Gazette-Times, a "Want Ad" appeared at the bottom of the Remember This, . . . Reminisce column which read: For Sale Studebaker sedan 6, with heater. Model 1939 at R. H. Peck near Lexington, price 3bD. The ad appeared in the Sept. 11, 1941 classifieds but this was apparently misunderstood as Mrs. Peck has been receiving calls about the car this week. Can you imagine what a buy 1930 Studebaker for $65.00 would be now?!! However, evi dently it wasn't such a buy in 1941 as the car didn't sell and was converted into a pickup which as far as we know might still be on the road. Guests at the Archie Padbera home for the weekend were Mrs. Padberg's daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ross from Canby.
