Christmas tree up
near city center
H eppner’s com
munity Christmas tree, re
splendent in silver sheen,
was placed near the Wil
low and Main intersec
tion Tuesday to bring the
decoration and cheer for
the holiday season.
The project was a
cooperative effort the tree
being obtained by Kinzua
C orporation, and Nate
McBride gave it a spray
coat of silver paint. Crews
o f the City o f Heppner
helped men of Columbia
Basin Electric Co-op, with
their new line truck, put
it in place in front of the
Heppner Hotel.
Auger of the truck
bored a hole some six feet
through the Main Street
paving, and a section of
pipe was inserted. Butt
o f the tree was dropped
into the pipe and it was
secured with sand tamped
around it.
The tree is some
25 feet tall— not the big
gest, but one of the pret
tiest. A gallon o f silver
paint was used to give the
wintery appearance.
Radio Equipped
Police Car Being
Considered
H e p p n e r m ay
soon have a two-way radio
equipped police car and
an emergency telephone
number which will be able
to contact state and city
police, ambulance doctors
and many others in case of
emergency.
Tentative plans
are to have the radio sta
tioned at City Hall with
a night man on the job to
take calls there, as well
as the regular day time
help. When the police car
is equipped with the two
way radio, police officers
said they could get from
any one part o f town to
another within two min
utes to answer calls. The
present method of notify
ing an officer when he
is wanted is to turn on a
light on Main Street, and
he is to report to find out
what emergency the light
indicates.
Since a good part
o f the police duty is to
patrol the town there are
many instances where this
light can be unanswered
for some time. Though
no serious consequences
have resulted to date it
was thought necessary to
provide a better method of
contacting the police.
HHS math to hold

The Heppner High School math department will
be holding a Mathathon fundraiser for Doembecher Chil
dren’s Hospital now through December 15.
Talk to any Jr./Sr. high math student to find
out more, or call Troy Morgan at the high school for
details.

Church in Heppner. Performances will be at 2 p.m. and
7 p.m.
