TO THE
EDITOR.
What Heppner Needs More Of
Heppner needs mure trees not fewer. 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

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.

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. Driscoll, Postmaster

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

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.
Jr. Division
In the junior division ages 4
to 7, Elizabeth McElligott won
first in decorative arrangements
with her snake made from
fruits and vegetables: a pear for
the head, raisin eyes and a

Sweepstakes

for adults was Mrs. Fred Mar
tin and sweepstakes in the Jr.
Division went to Sylvia Ladd for
winning the most blue ribbons.
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. Mrs. Ed Hunt, Lex
ington won 2 firsts with her oil

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

on Monday afternoons from
3:30 to 4:30.
Mrs. Griffith is an experienc

several year's experience with
vacation Bible school. She says
this chorus will have fun.

cial services as requested. Any
mother who would like to help
Ann especially one who plays

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

Padberg's daughter and son-in-law,
