Wallowa County Chieftain
Daggetts take over sweet shop
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
By Tori Suto
For The Chieftain
Oregon FFA partnered
with Les Schwab Tire Center
of Oregon to fight hunger in
local communities. Through
the month of October, Wal-
lowa, Enterprise and Joseph
FFA chapters took part in
helping decrease the prob-
lem of statewide hunger.
Since the recession in 2008,
the Oregon Food Bank has
seen a 41 percent increase
in the need for food-box
distribution, and our state’s
FFA programs were more
then happy to lend a helping
hand.
Joseph FFA would like
to thank Les Schwab Tire
Center for partnering with
the FFA organization and
for helping Oregon FFA
chapters make a difference.
“Living to Serve,” is an im-
portant part in the official
FFA Motto. “Learning to
Do, Doing to Learn, Earn-
ing to Live and Living to
Serve,” is our core purpose.

• As Mrs. Walter Buzzard
was working in the kitchen of
the family home at the Buttes
on Sunday, her dress caught
fire. She had her baby in
her arms and was petting it,
standing with her back to the
stove. It is supposed her dress
was sucked into the stove
thru the draft, and so was set
on fire. She ran out of the
house to prevent it catching
fire and into the yard where
she managed to extinguish
the flames, but not until she
was fearfully burned.
• The house of Adna W.
Haggerty on his homestead
on Trout creek burned down
Sunday morning, the fire
starting a short time after
he had gone out to do some
work. It is supposed the fire
caught from the stove. A
