Rain Slows Travel
In Forest Areas
Heavy rains in the mountains have
slowed travel over forest roads, for
est officials report. Instead of snow
in the higher stretches, rain in cop
ious quantities has fallen with the
result that most of the roads are
bottomless.
Snow which fell in December has
all but disappeared and lack of
freezing weather has left the ground
in condition to soak up the mois
ture.
Softening of the roads has like
wise brought logging operations of
the Kinzua mill company to a stop.
Taking advantage of the open wea
ther during the fall the company
carried on logging operations inten
sively and has 12,000,000. feet of logs
decked out at the mill. About 1,
000.000 of this was logged since the
last of November. The company is
preparing to build a big pond near
Wineland lake to hold logs for
shipment to the mill at Kinzua.
The New Birth and
Death Certificates
In order to meet the demands of
the times the United States Census
Bureau has made a number of

certificates. The Oregon State
Board of health has approved ot
thpse changes and is now issuing
the new standard forms which
should be in use throughout the
state after January 1st, 1940.
The new forms have not been
radically changed, but have been
considerably simplified. Unneces
sary informatiin has been eliminat
ed and new questions have been
added to meet the requirements of
the changed conditions. The addi
tional questions are planned to meet
the requirements of the Social Se
curity Act and other public health
questions which are necessary for
the better prevention or disease.
On the new birth certuicate are
a number of statements which are
intended to improve the Maternal

Training of Youth
Minister's Subject
A look into the future of the
youth of the community was the
subject discussed by Rev. R. C.
Young, pastor of the Methodist
church, in a brief address to the
Heppner Lions club, Monday. "The
speaker pointed out that inasmuch
as the future of the country rests
in the hands of the youth of today
there should be nothing left undone
to prepare them for their responsi
bility. He likened the building of
character to the erection of a build
ing. The only successful method of
building is by properly planning
and then adhering closely to the
plan, he stated.

How to Balance the Budget."
