colors lined the eaves, the
shrubbery, and around the
windows of the Dean Gilman

Our Best
to Frank
It's plaque presenting time in
Heppner. One of the most
deserving is the one presented
to Frank Turner by Ed Dick,
1972 president of the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce.
Frank is a charter member of
the organization when it was
reorganized and started with a
deficit of $400. He was instru
mental in getting it paid off.
This was typical of the endeav
ors he has carried on ever since.
He says he's too old to do
anything now but he serves as
an inspiration to every
member.

County Roads
Breaking Up
The unusually low tempera
tures for several weeks and the
big thaw this past week have
caused our County roads to

8 ton gross load limits on a

roads are to be posted today as
the load limit signs are being
printed at the Gazette-Times.

FFA Needs
Tree Money
Hal Whitaker, advisor of the
Heppner High FFA Chapter,
reported this week that approx
imately ten of the Christmas
trees belonging to the FFA were
removed from their lot down
town sometime over the week
end without being paid for.
The trees were being sold by
the FFA as one of their annual
money-raising projects. People
who bought the trees were on
their honor. The FFA charged
about one dollar per foot of the
tree, and asked that the money
be left in the mailbox at the
front of the lot.
Anyone who took trees and
failed to see the mailbox, may
send their money to the FFA,
Heppner High School or drop it
off at the Gazette-Times if it is
more convenient.
