COUNTY ASKED S50
FOR FLOOD RELIEF
Red Cross Committee
Lays Plans for Drive
Immediately.
NEED HELD GREAT
Cowlitz County Sufferers Face Hun
ger and Sickness; All Commu
nities Urged to Cooperate.
Determination was expressed at
a special meeting of the executive
committee of the county Red Cross
chapter that Morrow county should
not be found wanting in responding
to the Pacific Coast chapter's call
for aid for flood sufferers in Cow
litz county, Washington. This coun
ty was asked for $50 to help the
many whose homes have been re
cently inundated by water, and who
have been left homeless, faced by
cold, hunger and sickness.
The executive committee outlined
plans for staging a drive post-haste
over the county, expressing confi
dence that Morrow county would
respond readily and willingly in this
emergency.
. The Heppner Lions club offered
assistance in helping with the solic
itation of funds within the city, and
it was voted to ask the assistance
of the Business and Professional
Womens club also. Mrs. Harold
Case, secretary, was instructed to
write a representative of each of
the outlying communities, urging
them to respond.
The Red Cross, with its establish
ed reputation of being first on the
ground with succor in times of dis
tress, is now actively giving relief
in the flood stricken areas of Ore
gon and Washington. Organized
and equipped to give relief in the
most efficient manner possible, the
great humanitarian agency can
function only so far as funds are
provided to keep the machinery
moving, and its sole source of rev
enue is the contributions of the
American public.
While the annual roll call was but
recently completed and Morrow
county proved its loyalty by signing
up a membership of more than its
quota of 150 members, sufficient
funds are not raised in this man
ner to meet the emergencies that
arise, as a large part of the money
is left with the local chapters to
carry on local relief work.
It was shown at the meeting yes
terday that while the county chap
ter received some $150 from the roll
call Just completed, the demands
being made upon it locally are too
great to risk sacrificing the fund.
It is the Red Cross policy to raise
money for each contingency as the
contingency arises, based on appar
ent needs, because there is no way
of anticipating what the calamities
of the future may be. And it is not
the Red Cross itself, but the needs
and suffering of humanity, now
calling for help through those local
volunteer workers who give both of
their time and money that those
needs and suffering may be alleviat
ed.
Whether it be a dime or dollar,
the solicitors will welcome your
contribution.

WHITEJCHR1STMAS
North County Gets Heav
iest Fall, With Two
Inches at Heppner.
HIGHWAY IS GLAZED
Heavy Wind Takes Toll of Wheat;
Freezing Temperature Exper
ienced; Kiddles Enjoy Sport
While death and destruction in
ravaging water is told in news from
the Washington and Oregon coast
country, Morrow county rests se
renely under its first blanket of
snow with the temperature gener
ally hanging at or near the freez
ing point The snow and frozen wa
ter have glazed the Oregon-Washington
highway with ice, making
travel a bit skiddish, but only a
few minor accidents have resulted.
The snow came too late to pre
vent large blows in several wheat
fields where the wheat was literally
blown out by the roots by the heavy
winds of last week. Among those
who suffered large losses from this
source are reported George White,
Myles Martin and S. J. Devine of
Lexington.
The fall of snow, starting early
Sunday morning was heaviest tow
ard the north end of the county, re
ports indicate, with no new snow In
the Blue mountains to the south
yesterday to as much as seven
inches at the Leo Gorger farm in
the north Lexington section. The
fall at Heppner was two inches.
Farmers generally welcome the
snow as insurance to the growing
grain against a heavy freeze, should
such a freeze come. Sheepmen in
the lower country are not so well
pleased as the snow has forced them
to feed flocks in feed-lots for the
first time this season. They are not
complaining, however, as the sea
son has treated them unusually
well.
The snow came in time to give
the county a white Christmas,
lent much to the spirit of that oc
casion and brought especial joy to
the hearts of kiddies who have
taken advantage of the opportunity
to get their sleds rvo action and to
enjoy some real winter sports.
COUNTIES TO HAVE
OWN ASSOCIATION
Corn - Hog Adjustment Program
Now Outlined for Oregon;
Figures Compiled.
Hog raisers in any county In Or
egon will have opportunity to form
their own hog production control
association and sign up for cash
benefits under the national corn-hog
adjustment program, according to
plans laid by members of the O. S.
C. extension service, who have been
given the task of conducting the
educational campaign in this state.
Growers meetings will be announc
ed soon by county agents.
Regional associations were first
contemplated for counties with
small hog production but since it is
learned that the corn-hog contracts
are comparatively simple it is be
lieved that even a county with only
a half dozen growers can form its
own association with less overhead
expense and inconvenience. Corn
producers, of course, who care to
join in the plan will be in the same
associations.
Census reports of 1930 credit Mor
row county with a total hog produc
tion of 1990 head, and corn produc
tion of 275 acres, out of a state total
of 224,539 hogs and 63,116 acres of
corn. Oregon crop observers are of
the opinion that these state totals
are considerably higher now, and
that possibly most county totals are
up as well.
Though this would give Oregon
hog raisers a theoretical allotment
of between 175,000 and 200.000 hogs
and benefit payments at $5 a head
of just under a million dollars, ac
tual benefits could not be nearly
that high because of the minimum
limits set for participation.
riffln)t ritlincrfl hnvo honn r-n-
ceived by the Oregon extension ser-
vice setting the minimum limit for
joining the plan at 10 acres of corn
or three litters of pigs a year, or
both. Silage and soiling crop corn
is included. Many believe that be
tween 65 and 75 per cent of the
hogs raised in Oregon are on farms
where less than three litters a year
are produced.
A farmer qualifying under either
the corn or the hog provisions can
join for that one crop, though if he
qualifies for both he must join for
both. Reduction of at least 20 per
cent In corn acreage and 25 per cent
in hog production is required in re
turn for rent payments on the corn
land retired and cash benefits of $5
a head on the allotment of 75 per
cent of past average annual hog
production.
ELKS MEET TONIGHT.
Heppner lodge 358, B. P. O. Elks
will meet at the lodge hall in reg
ular session this evening. Business
of importance is announced by J. O.
Turner, exalted ruler, who asks a
goodly attendance of members.

Oregon Farm Buildings
Now Given Close Study
Oregon has been issued a special
allotment of CWA funds from
Washington with which to make a
rural home buildings survey cover
ing 6000 farm homes in three Ore
gon areas. The work has been as
signed to the Oregon State college
extension service, with Miss Clari
bel Nye, state leader of home econ
omics extension, chairman of the
committee in charge.
About 50 skilled workers who have
registered on the employment lists

must be hurried to completion by
the last of January. Women train
ed in home economics will be used
for the field workers to the extent
possible. Areas have been selected
in western, southern and eastern
Oregon,
Gathering this Oregon data is

tain accurate information on the
American farm home building needs
as a possible basis for a further re
covery program touching this phase

ter. Mr. Case, S. E. Notson and Jas
per Crawford were appointed to at
tend the chapter meeting called at
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The club's holiday meeting drew
one of the largest attendances of
the year, and was made more than
ordinarily bright by the visit of Miss
Evelyn Humphreys, president and
Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, who extend
ed felicitations and good will from
the Business and Professional Wo
men's club, and offered cooperation
in community service work. Mrs.
Rodgers, Mr. Notson and C. W.
Smith staged a stunt that added
much pleasure to the meeting.
An additional holiday atmosphere
was given the meeting through the
generosity of G. A. Bleakman who
remembered his recent birthday to
the club by the gift of a large and
delicious birthday cake and a box
of perfectos. The birthday of J. D.
Cash was also recognized by the
ciuo. ,
Visitors in Heppner for the holi
days were among the guests pres
ent who contributed to the pro
gram. Roy A. Glasscock of Mt
Vernon, an early resident of Hepp
ner, recalled a few of the good old
days here, and eloquently compli
mented the club in its aims toward
keeping the city lively and pro
gressive. Edward Notson, superin
tendent of schools at Elmira, Wn.,
told of the three new towns that
have been builded in his section
since construction began on the
Grand Coulee project, signified his
faith in continued development of
the upper Columbia river, and re
lated the latest developments in the
Grand Coulee work which, he said,
revealed that the big dam would
have solid granite for a foundation.
Ted McMurdo, O. S. C. student, said
the college student body was not
excited over the higher education
administration squabble. The stu
dents hardly discuss the matter, he
said, and the apparent attitude is
thatj it makes no difference what
may be he outcome.
Chas. W. Smith gave a short ac
count of the meeting with the of
ficials of the First National Bank
of Portland held last week and told
of the liklihood of that institution
opening a branch here within a
short time.

New Year's day.
