I David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS Warmest regards To the editor: I did so much appreciate your coverage of the Veter ans' Day Program. I really enjoyed planning and present ing the program for the seniors at the mealsite. It was meant to let our veterans know how very much we love and appreciate them, as our feelings don't seem to surface in our everyday life. It gave me a good feeling to honor these great men. I felt very humble to have been a part of that tribute. If the program was just a little bit successful, I received my reward through the warm friendly smiles of apprecia tion from all the Veterans who were present, seeing their shoulders back in respect and pride as they spoke of serving their country. It was very heartwarming to honor the W.W.I veterans whose poor health prevented their attending. Legionnaire Bob Blue and I went to the home of Clarence and Hazel Bauman and to the Pioneer Nursing Home to honor Albert Schunk and his wife, Flora.- " I wish to thank the following " people for their part in making my program possible: The American Legion for their part in the program and sharing the donation of the beautiful flag pole and stand to the Heppner Senior Meal site; the Elks Lodge who also shared the donation of the flag, pole and stand; Cole's Posy Patcy for donating bou tonnieres for the occasion; Les Schwab Tire Center for sponsoring a display ad in "Hutch's Helper"; Morrow Co. Grain Growers for spon soring a display ad in the Gazette- Times; Bank of Eastern Oregon, Heppner and lone branches, for sponsoring a donation to the American Legion on behalf of the senior Mealsite; the American Le gion Post 87 and lone post 91 for donating the checks back to the Mealsite; Ola Mae Groshens for providing the music; Linda Schultz of the Legion Aux. for the clever table decorations; the W.W. I veterans for their special ef fort to attend the program; and to all the veterans who came to support the program. There were about 75 people plus who took time away from jobs and daily routines to attend the dinner and pro gram. I wish to thank each and everyone of them very much. Vou all are the greatest! On behalf of the Heppner Senior Mealsite and myself, I sent to you our warmest regards. Sincerely, and with a smile Anna Mae Steagall Willows Grange CWA meets Dot Halvorsen of lone en tertained the C.W.A. of Wil lows Grange recently.

Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, November 15. 1MJ Heppacr EDITOR .M W."S Sad to hear To the editor: It is sad to hear the newt that Heppner will no longer be an agency station on the Union Pacific. I am sure the "Young old timers" in Morrow County will remember when two colorful individuals reigned supereme at the old Heppner freight and passenger depot. Back in history over 50 years ago. Referring, of course, to Chet Darbee and Gay Clark. Chet was the agent and Gay his assistant. Clay, by the way, was married to a daughter (first name I do not recall) of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Farley. I believe, too, . that there were living quarters above the ' depot for Chet and his family. My old and true friend, Ilene Laughlin, can either confirm or retract this statement. Some of the others I made, too. Incidentally, members of the Main Crew, who made daily runs between Heppner and Arlington, also called Heppner their home. I might mention the Echan family, among others. Yours truly, William J. "Ole" Mitchell 61 Forest Grove Drive Daly Gty.
