! Page Eight Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, March 2, 1939 HUMAN ELEMENT STRESSED BY FOREST LIKENED TO OLD EXPERIENCE AT SEA F. F. Wehmeyer, local forest rang er, says the U. S. Forest service is stressing social welfare and commu ity stability in its supervision of timber cutting. Fred tells a story from his own experience to stress this element of human values: When I was a youngster following the sea for a livelihood, the ship I was serving drove high on a reef off the then rather inhospitable shores of the Sulu group of islands. We tried most everything from rocking the ship while in full speed astern to lightening the ballast, but the boat stuck with grim determin ation. (Rocking a boat is accom plished by all hands getting on one side then in unison arid with timing going to the opposite side, by re peating, a boat in open water could soon be set rolling to an alarming degree and no doubt capsized if rocking was continued long enough.) The weather was brisk and we were amid a rather nasty surf but it was decided to kedge off if possi ble. This, is done by hauling the anchor to a distance and dropping it, then attaching the cable to the winch, adding that power to the pull of the screw or propellor. Boats were lowered and maneuvered to the starboard bow which happened to have a slight advantage in the lee or sheltered side though the full force of the storm was pretty well astern. The idea was to lower the anchor in such manner that it would lay directly across both gunwales of both boats, a difficult and ticklish piece of work as the boats would be even with the bow one moment and the next be twenty feet below. Calculations were carefully made and with perfect timing the anchor was dropped at just the proper mo ment as the boats started to sink, but something went wrong, for the anchor, weighing a couple of tons, caught the inside gunwales of both boats, bringing them together as neatly as the two halves of a pea pod and they immediately capsized bottoms up. The officer on duty was frantic. He manned the railing and bawled through a megaphone to the strug gling men below to save the casks, save the gratings, save the oars, save . In the meantime the old admiral had appeared, seemingly from nowhere. He stretched a weath er beaten neck over the side and peered with tired old eyes thru the spume and wind to the mess below, then he turned to the officer and very quietly and mildly said, "The hell with the gear, mister, save some of the men." lllHltltimHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIHIIllltlll At Heppner CHURCHES 1 1 Cents Parity Payment Set on Wheat for 1939 Parity payments made in 1939 to wheat growers who keep plantings within their allotments will be 11 cents per bushel, according to word received by the state AAA office at Corvallis. Payments will be based on the normal yield of each farmers allot ted acreage. Present estimates are that wheat farmers of the nation will receive $64,113,000 in price ad justment payments during 1939. Besides these parity payments, farmers who cooperate in the AAA farm program this year, and stay within their acreage allotments, will receive agricultural conservation payments at rates previously an nounced. Counting both price adjustment and conservation payments, wheat farmers cooperating in the 1939 pro gram will be able to earn up to 28 cents a bushel in compliance pay ments, it was said. Parity payments are made under the Price Adjustment act of 1938, which allocates $212,000,000 to be paid producers of wheat, cotton corn, rice and tobacco the nation's five basic crops if their average prices fell below 75 per cent of par ity during the year. Meanwhile, the Oregon state of fice of the AAA continued this week to handle the huge flow of compli ance forms from the 1938 conserva tion program, which will bring ap proximately 30,000 applicants an estimated three million dollars in payments. Checks are being sent regularly to county AAA offices, for distribution to farmers. The trend toward increased co operation with the national farm program continued during 1938, a comparison with, the two previous years shows. During 1936, Oregon had 14,496 cooperators who received $1,817,235 in conservation payments. During 1937, this increased to 23,618 cooperators who earned $2,183,203 in payments. Although Oregon's compliance earnings showed this distinct in crease in 1937, some of the north west states, including Washington and Idaho, showed a decrease. Spring Developments.. Aid Thompson Range CCC crews from the soil conser vation service camp at Heppner re cetly completed the third of eight spring developments planned for immediate construction on the 10,000 acre R. A. Thompson ranch on Balm . Fork, 12 miles southwest of this city. These stock water supply devel opments are destined to play a lead ing role in the redistribution of grazing for more profitable use of the range, Ray Michener, conser vation engineer at the camp, re ports. They will be supplemented by construction of several miles of new fence. Structural measures planned will permit adoption of a rotational grazing plan designed to allow the building up and mainten ance of a good growth of range grasses. Reestablishment of better range grass stands on the Balm Fork drain age will have advantageous results in preventing flood damage, since this is one of the drainages which in the past has contributed largely to Heppner's , disastrous floods, Michener said. More grass on the hills will mean less water in the drainageways. "You've got to have bunch grass on the hills to hold these floods," says Mr. Thompson, who is coop erating with the soil conservation service in establishing an erosion control and improved land use pro gram on his ranch. Kitchen Circular Gives New Plans For Rural Homes The secret of convenience in a kitchen is to have it planned to care for all the uses it must serve, and in the average farm family home these are many and varied, points out Miss Maud Wilson, home econo mist at Oregon State college, in a new station circular, 131, entitled, "Planning the Kitchen." The circular has been prepared especially for the use of Oregon farm families olanning to remodel a kitchen or build a new one and confronted with the problems of what size the room needs to be, what arrangement is most desirable, and what types of built-ins are need ed. It is a condensation of a pre vious larger bulletin. Profusely illustrated with draw ings of many types of arrangement for kitchens of various shapes, as well as individual drawings of dif ferent kinds of cabinets, wood boxes, wood lifts, sink arrangements, din ing arrangements, work tables mov able and otherwise, coolers, cake and bread storage spaces, and even detailed drawings of silver drawers and knife racks. These were worked out as the result of a survey of the needs and desires of a large group of Willamette valley farm women. The uses of a kitchen customarily include food preparation, cooking and dishwashing, but the majority of farm families like to have space to eat in the kitchen, even when there is a dining room, Miss Wilson found. Whether meals are served there or not, the average household wants a "family" center, where children can play or adults can rest or sit at work. The new circular is an abstract of station bulletin 356, "The Willam ette Valley Farm Kitchen," .to make the information more easily usable by farm homemakers. It is free on request from county extension of fices or the college. CHURCH OF CHRIST ALVIN KLEINFELDT, Pastor Bible School 9:46 a. m. Morning Service . 11 :00 a. m. C. E. Society 6:30 p. m.

Dairy Products Men Favor Sales, Quality, Increase Interest in higher quality, better machinery and increased sales ef forts proved to be the three chief highlights of the twenty-eighth an nual convention of the Oregon Dairy Manufacturers' association at Ore gon State college.' The men who take the producers' milk and cream and pass it on to the consumer in the form of butter, ice cream, cheese and fluid milk proved to be constantly on the look out for better methods which will give the consumer a more attractive product and thereby improve the market for the dairy, farmers' raw material. The association spent most of the convention period hearing and see ing technical lectures and demon strations of various branches of in dustry, then closed the business meeting by endorsing a bill to pro vide a promotional fund and one to improve the standards of ice cream manufacture.
