Twenty-Five Years Ago
Reports have come in dur
ing the past week of quite
severe erosion in several
sections of the county follow
ing the heavy rains of the past
two weeks, much of which fell
on frozen ground. The Hepp
ner Soil Conservation Service
reports the most serious
damage is found in the Sand
Hollow, Blaekhorse and
Clark's Canyon area.
Henry M. Breeding, Lexing
ton, is now serving with a
Navy construction battalion at
Cebu Point, Phillipine Islands.
Renowned economist, Ro
ger W. Babson. predicts that
President Eisenhower will be
re-elected in 1956 and that
business will be good. He also
states that higher wages could
reduce profits; increased ad
vertising appropriations will
be seen: liberal credits to the
purchasers of homes, auto
mobiles and major appliances
will continue to be a strong
support to many industries:
great sums will be spent on
research and plant expansion :
the baby boom will go merrily
on. "The main handicap to
retail businesses will be inten
sification of the parking problem-shopping
centers are a
partial remedy and will help
the suburbs where 15 percent
of the population will live in
1956."
Babson continues "Farmers
within ten or fifteen miles of a
city can 'beat the game' by
selling out at increased prices
which their land will bring for
subdivisions. Commercial
farms need not suffer as
increased efficiency and new
.A
May all our friends
and neighbors savor
the quiet contentment
of Christmas spent
with those they love.

History repeats itself
for 2 Bettys and
2 dolls
I
Two-time winner, Betty Bunch, displays doll won in
Pioneer Memorial Auxiliary raffle.
Don't believe the old saying "history repeats itself"?
You may change your mind if you talk with Betty Bunch of
Heppner.
Last Friday the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary
raffled off a nurse doll to fund an air purifier for the hospital
solarium.
Gene Pierce of the Bank of Eastern Oregon was drafted to
draw the winning name - which turned out to be Mrs. Alvin
(Hetty) Bunch. Betty Brown of the auxiliary was chosen to
call Mrs. Bunch to tell her that she had won.
When the two women got talking, they recalled that Mrs.
Bunch had won a doll 25 years ago... and that Mrs. Brown had
called her then too.
Winning the doll turned out to be an added Imhius to Mrs.
Hunch. She has a new baby granddaughter to give it to.
Audra Niehole Bunch was horn to Mrs. Bunch's son and
daimhter in law on Dec. 6
The auxiliary brought in $23H towards the purifier in the
dull raffle, which was added to an additional $150 raised by
auxiliary members who sold food and craft items at the
Artifactory craft fair held in Heppner Dec. 6. The cost of the
purifier was estimated to Ik between $325 and $.'150. Hospital
Administrator A.K. "Lucky" Felt said last week the purifier
has Ix-en ordered Mrs. Brown says the auxiliary will now
begin raising funds to huy a purifier for the hospital dining
room
