Betty Brown, a community leader, lives in Heppner. "I am most pleased to have Betty Brown and good people like her in every part of the Second Congressional District form the nucleus of my committee," Ullman said.

Mayor Chester Wilson sub mitted his letter of resignation to the Irrigon City Council at the September meeting, Tues day night. It will be effective Dec.31.

These include: street repair and improvement; de veloping a second well in the gravel strata, and building of a City Hall. The Council learned that the anticipated fully automatic controls for city pumps were beyond the immediate fi nances available. The Council placed an im mediate moratorium on plac ing of mobile homes within the city outside of mobile home courts for an indefinite period of time. Reason for the action stemmed from a recently set mobile home placed according to state regulations but did not meet city ordinance require ments. The council visited the site in a body and agreed they could not allow mobile homes to be placed in the city in this manner. The mobile home question has long been a source of con troversy within the city and in the zoning process they were allowed to locate throughout the city. THE 1.. HEPPNEH GAZETTE-TIMES - Editorial & Viewpoint Portland hunters go home Their invasion should begin any time now. You'll know 'em. They'll be wearing those pretty fluorescent orange pants, jackets and hats. Don't be surprised to see a dainty little yellow hanky hangin' from their hip pockets either. Wonder how they always get their vacation during deer hunting season in Eastern Oregon? Aren't there any dern deer in Portland? It's a proven fact you can tell when the light change in Portland on Oct. 2. You can tell by the on and off influx of brand new campers, trailers, and four wheelers, bumping down main street. Sometimes you can smell 'em. There are different ways to sniff 'em out. Sometimes they leave an emergency brake on all the way from Portland. Every once in a while, when a dummy tries his new jeep out on a tough Broadway hill, he'll lock his hubs in. He'll usually forget to take 'em out before he comes our way. . , . . Packin brand spankin' new runes, never shot before. they'll pile through, on their way to the hills, anticipating a big forked horn. Hear the CBs talkin? Hey, this here's the Portland Hunter, we're a heading down the Heppner-Condon highway, see any big bucks ahead? , About half of 'em will spend the night at the local tavs, keeping 'em off the highways. That's good. But they usually have a week or two. Some of these Portland grizzlies aren't bad guys. One or two have probably seen a real buck deer before. But there's some that, well, last year on opening morning, a nice big rig with a camper came pounding down the freeway. Proud as could be were two big heads tied to the hood of the rig. One was a spike the other a four point. Both were real nice bulls. So it goes. A new regulation, causing hunters to pick which side of the Cascades they want to hunt is a dam good Idea. Hope thry think the mulies are on that side. w.c.p. A wrong impression EDITOR: It is possible that a wrong impression was made at the very fine dedication ceremony at the old Fairview School site on Saturday, Sept. II. The record has it that the first clerk, the late M R. Morgan, enumerated 57 scholars his first year as clerk. It was required that all children between the ages of four years and 20 years be enumerated for the county allotment of school funds. This did not mean that there were 57 attending school. In our reminiscenses, Mr. Morgan and I discussed this w hen I w as serving as clerk in the early 1910s. As I remember it. there were 31 or 32 pupils In the school when I first started there about 1900. Certainly there is no one who wishes to make the enrollment anything but factual. The dedication of the Fairview Marker was a great success and we are all very proud of It.
