Oiojm.i. .is S coml C'las Mailer Spirit of Thanksgiving day This November 23 is Thanksgiving Day-one of the most thoroughly American of all our holidays It celebrates the very beginnings of the United States, and the mere mention of this holiday conjures up memories of the traditional turkey dinner. In our seemingly dissentious nation, we tend to lose the real relevance of Thaiiksgiving--we have the feast without remembering its reason. The importance of Thanksgiving has increased with each passing year. The first settlers in our land found the time to offer thanks for their lives, the meager focd on their tables and" the chance to live in freedom and hope on the hostile shores of an unknown land. Let us pause for a few minutes this Thanksgiving to contemplate the many good, things we enjoy and offer our thanks for them. In doing so. we shall gain a renewed strength to tackle our difficulties and imperfections witi faith and good spirit. With gratitude for the strength, purpose, charity and pride of our forebearers to which we owe the freedom and opportunity that bless us today, let us bow our heads this Thanksgiving Day. It is indeed a day to count our blessings. And it is a time to renew our care of them for the sake of generations yet to come. More Like It Congratulations to the football coaches and players not only on a successful football season but on a very well run football banquet for fathers and sons. Many thanks went to the people who contributed to the season who are never mentioned very much from the "chain gang" to the announcers, the score clock operators, the movie film operator, the American Legion for presentation of colors and many others. The coaches gave credit to the players not with just "you were great" but individual references were made to specific times when they had done a good piece of work and mentioned other worthwhile qualities that each one possessed. John Kilkenny's skit with a back-up of freshmen and sophomore football players was a masterpiece of impersonation of the varsity players and coaches. Really a Fine Evening Really the time to know the most improved player, the outstanding back, lineman and most valuable player is now while we're still football minded. Goodluck But Not Goodbye Indeed the Gazette-Times will miss Arnold. He has become one of the permanent fixtures at the paper after working 14 years through four owners. A hardworking craftsman, he is also a good mechanic. He is dedicated to the deadline obligation of the weekly newspaper. Like show people "the show must go on"...."or through wind and sleet the postman makes his rounds".. ..Arnold keeps that Wednesday night deadline in spite of late copy, breakdowns and confusion. The paper has to be in the post office by 6 o'clock. When people are desperate and need printing "yesterday" Arnold comes through. He gets it out. His zeal for the newspaper is ingrained early in his family. They know it comes first. Our thanks to Valerie too, who has on many occasions bailed us out. Our very best wishes go with him as he accepts the challenge of change with a job on the Pendleton Record. He says he'll come back if we get in a pinch. The family has been active in many community activities, in PTA, Scouting, and in their church work as well as school activities. Welcome Phil There will be instant poulation loss as the Raymonds leave and Fiiil Strandvold comes from Baker to take his place at the G-T. There are 9 Raymonds and only 1 Strandvold. Phil has been around the state working on a number of weeklies. He worked 9 years on the Pilot Rock News through three owners and for the past 2 years has worked on the Baker Record-Courier. This smiling Dane has a terriffic sense of humor and was the 1965 National Liar of the Year. He likes to read. He likes sports and is something of a writer. He learned the printing trade from his father as well as while attending college in South Dakota. Welcome to Heppner, Phil. PUBLIC NOTICE Your right to know and be informed of the functions of your government are embodied in public notices. In that self-government charges all citizens to be informed, this newspaper urges every citizen to read and study these notices. We strongly advise those citizens seeking further information to exercise their right of access to public records and public meetings. The Editor According to "The Spotlight", published by Field Enterprises Educational Corporation, "...children have eyes, ears, noses, and muscles, and. ..they like to use them. The charm and vitality of direct experiences, of knowledge by acquaintance, are wefl illustrated in an article published by Edward Vernon in the British Weekly. He asked children to prepare ah answer to the question. 'What are the loveliest things you know, persons not counted0' Here are some of these children's answers: The scrunch of dry leaves when you walk through them ; looking into deep clear water; the taste of strawberries; smoke rising; rain on your cheeks. We could learn something very important bv noting how little children see the world with a questioning, innocent eve." 5" YFVits ;o Wm. M.iylnr, the jeweler, has just about completed the finish ing work to the inside of his new store at the old location on Main Street, and we will now venture the assertion that he has one of the neatest little shops in Eastern Oregon, The interior of the store is finished in mahog any while the display windows are decorated in an oak finish New show cases have been installed They are all matte in Oregon stuff, coming from Portland In addition to his store proper. Mr. Ilaylor is fitting up a dark room for the proper testing of eyes and is installing a complete outfit of optical goods The modern bungalow of Chas Vaughn on Center Street is rapidly Hearing completion at the hands of Harry Johnson and his crew of carpenters. When finished this home will rank among the most up-to-date in the city. Siime one inadvertantly made a mistake and paid this year's taxes on our land when it was not dehquent. If the party who paid on our property w ill kindly inform us, we will send remit tance for the tax receipt. Chas. E. and Milton Craven, Parkdale. Oregon 37 YEARS ACiO 193.. W. Claude Cox. manager Morrow, County Creamery company, reports receiving 30.000 pounds of turkeys for the Thanksgiving market for a Portland wholesale concern.

He made the trip to Seattle with the band last weekend, and E.F. Bloom and party enjoyed a visit with him. Joe plays the saxophone. 1 YEAR AGO 1971 The Heppner FFA Livestock Judging team came home with first place from the Pacific International Livestock Show Saturday. Members of the team were Ted Bellamy, Kyle Robin son and Kirk Robinson. There were 94 teams competing from four states of Oregon, Washing ton. Idaho and Montana. They judged classes of Charolais Bulls, Angus heifers. Shorthorn heifers, ewes, market hogs and weiner pigs. Out of a possible 900 score the Heppner team had a score of 766. Ted had 266, Kyle 265 and Kirk 235. This is the first time in the last few years that the Heppner team placed above 20th place. Judge Paul Jones of Morrow County was elected president of the Association of Oregon Counties Friday at their Pendleton convention. Judge Dear Edi,or: Jones this year has been vice president of the association. He has been Judge of Morrow County for seven years. A Morrow County native son, Judge Jones owns a wheat ranch which he operates with his brother, Marcel Jones. The Vernon Munkers were winners in a drawing at the Wheat Growers dinner Thurs day evening. And again on Friday at the Columbia Basin Electric annual dinner. We can only conclude that it pays to live right. , Pioneer ifcSf Bun"-- vs- ?-wSi LETTERS ', - . -q Iv.ir Editor. "The Urd is in His Holy Temple" and all is well with the world ur so It si-ems to me at the moment. What with brotherly love and fellowship flowing around as it is Out of the ashes of the sorrow of Phil il'W.i Ma honey's passing came a long distance telephone call from Hael M.ihoney. Harriet Hall, Gene Hall from Heppner, one from Kathleen Mahoney Mather when she sloped in Portland to visit friends on her way home to Pasadena. Cal and a long afternoon visit at my home here with Patricia M.ihoney Heaver returning to Palm Springs, Cal and later her sister-in-law Barbara Espy Williams, came and took Pat home with her for a visit. Pat told of swing so many old, old friends in Heppner. and of the changes and of how well this large group of friends was handled in All Saints tiny church She told me of her pleasant visit at the country home of Paul and Kathleen Hisler on Butterereok and how young Paul plans to continue farming on the former Ralph Jones ranch adjoining. Pat loved my home and in lix)king it over asked to see "my drawers". When I opened them she said "Just the same". I remember you took Majorie Clark and me into yours and Ken's apartment and explained all about keep ing them neat but vou should see mine". Now they are all gone home but truly love and friendship is a jewel of rare value to be treasured - and I give thanks. A friend of mine here, Vida Bower, visited Maude Pointer, a former Lexington resident at her home in Corvalhs. Mrs Pointer said, "Phil Mahoney was a fine man. He did all of my business for me, and I find his partner Bob Abranis. equally capable". Opal Avers McLaughlin of , Beaverton. formerly Hard " man and Heppner called me and said. "To me Phil Mahoney always represents kindness. When Emmett Avers died he handled the estate and there was such a small sum left. When I offered to pay him he said, "You don't owe me anything. I only wish there was more for your little son". "By His works shall ye know him". P.S. When Pat called at the desk she asked for "Mrs. Mahoney". Josephine Mahoney Baker TerwUliger Plaza -97201 To Whom it May Concern: I had a real neighborly note from Ye Editor of The Gazette-Times. I appreciated it.

I trust I will be able to call upon you when it mav prevail for the best interest of District No. 55. An invitation is extended to you to contact me at any time in regard to the same. The very Best to you ar:d Jean. I am Sincerely yours. Jack Sumner Rep. Elect Heppner, Oregon Panderings BY W.S. CAVEPHILL A Remedy If you are nervous, upset and worried about the future, try cracking black walnuts, any moron can do it. For intellectuals it is a refreshing exercise. Y'ou can operate with your mind a total blank, or you can talk to yourself, think things out, or let your mind wander. Don't neglect the mechanics of the business or a misplaced blow of the hammer on a thumb will bring out a spontanious flow of almost forgotten profanity. Be careful, trv it. At this rather special season of Thanksgiving, we, the members of the Heppner Seventh-day Adventist church, wish to express publicly our deepest gratitude to God for His blessings through this past year. In an age when the world is racked by war, we thank Him for the quiet sunshine that still overflows our lives. In an era when natural disasters multiply on every hand, we thank Him for the safety granted us and our community. In days marked by un certainty and insecurity, we thank Him for the knowledge that men may rest secure in His abiding presence. In history's hour of man's greatest inhumanity to man, we thank our heavenly Father for His unfailing love demonstrated through the gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus, the Christ. ' And we pray that His love may fill our lives and the lives of those about us until it drowns the griefs and the inhumanity of this world in the glory of eternal life. Women can drive cars just as well as men can; which, when you come to think of it, isn't such a great achievement. Heard about the new folk group? It's four fathers who sing protest songs about phone bills. PRINDI.ES IN SEATTLE Mr. and Mrs. Milo Prindle were in Portland on Nov. 11 for the exciting Oregon State California football game.
