Close to home Mary Ann Ccrullo Perhaps Heppner Ib an exception, but after living in this . community for a short time, I became spoiled in certain ways. Now.I'm a little wiser and a little bit sad. Whfn my hiiHhni and I first arrived In the area wc were amazed when people went to work and the front door was left unlocked. Where we came from, new places of residences were almost required to have shatter proof glass and steel-plated doors. We were used to having to prepare ourselves for having our car broken into whenever it was parked on the street. In Heppner we saw people park their vehicle In town and leave the keys in the ignition! Now I'm amazed at how easily we fell Into that same pattern. It all seemed to start In full force in 1981. Earlier In the year, homes began being broken into near Pioneer Memorial Hospital. Next, cars were being stolen, usually because someone had left it running. Things started getting a little close for comfort when tales of a strange woman walking into neighbors houses while they were out began circulating during the Christmas holiday. Other incidences had occurred, like the owners of the Gazette-Times were burglarized. And the McElligott ranch was cleared out and vandalized. Finally, last weekend fate hit us. It wasn't a big deal monetarily, but it made two people in this household think. Last spring, during the rash of thefts and burglaries, the police department advised the public to lock their homes and cars and not to leave the keys In the ignition. Of course, Larry and I, like most, didn't take their advice very seriously. Last weekend someone helped themselves to a little bit of cash in my wallet as It stupidly sat in the glove compartment of our unlocked car. It was then that Larry and I shook ourselves, added up the recent occurrences in our community, and have begun locking our doors once more. It's sad to admit, but we've had to acknowledge that the realities of the city are closing In. Let's hope it is only temporary.

"Futures markets can pro vide key benefits to farmers even if they never trade a single contract." says USDA Economist Allen Paul. Only a few farmers trade futures, but many use the price informa tion generated by futures markets in production and marketing decisions. Hedging with futures contracts can help protect farmers against losses and reduce risk. Fu tures contracts can also help farmers obtain loans for operating capital when their security for the loan is anticipated production. r EXHAUST SYSTEMS Custom Pipe Bending Gas-Saving Dual Exhausts Factory Muffler Replacement Glass Packs Turbo Mufflers Headers Side Pipes Passenger Cars Light Trucks 4X4s Imports & Domestics Come In For A Free Estimate On Your Exhaust Work B&B CHEVRON Lexington Thermal Weave Blankets.
