Victory Gardens to
Be Given Impetus
Through Classes
Group Instruction
Offered by SCS and
Vocational Tutors
Heppner residents will have an
opportunity to learn something
about Victory gardens. Through
cooperation of the Soil Conserva
tion Service and the school of vo
system, classes for gardening in
cational agriculture of the Heppner
struction will be opened at the lo
cal school Monday evening, March
1, at 7:30
"The recent freezing of canned
goods and the institution of the point
system of rationing makes us re
alize we will have to can vegeta
bles and fruit in order to supple
ment shortages created by limita
tions placed on commercially can
ned products," stated Don Strait,,
agriculture instructor at Heppner
high school. "To meet this situa
tion, the war production training
board is sponsoring a series of gar
dening classes," he added.
Tom Wilson, director of the soil
conservation service at Heppner,
will conduct the classes, which will
be free of charge and to which any
one interested in gardening may
attend and present his problems.
Mr. Wilson will give you helpful
suggestions for increasing the pro
duction of your vegetable garden
planning, seeding, sterilization, in
sect control, cultivation and har
vesting and will answer- questions
having a bearing on the subject of
increased production of vegetable
crops.
'Mir. Strait made it clear that this
will not be a lecture course. In
stead it will take the form of round
tatble discussion in which all may
express their views and submit
ideas based on experience. Good
attendance is desired, and prompt,
too, as the young men in charge
are giving their time and good re
sults will be obtained only through
the thoughtful cooperation of ev
ery one interested, it is pointed out.
NEW GUINEA JUST WHAT
GEOGRAPHY SAID HOT!
Mrs. Lilian Turner, teacher in
the Lexington school for many
years, is keepiing in touch with a
number of her former pupils now
in the service of their Uncle Sam.
It requires a lot. of writing but
Mrs. Turner manages to find time
to correspond with the boys who
deeply appreciate her letters.
In a letter recently received from
Vster Thornburg he stated that
he was in New Guinea and just
as his geography book stated, it
is hot down there. He also reported
seeing Delbert Robinson and Rich
ard Hayes, the only contacts he
has had with boys from Morrow
county since going to the south
Pacific.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MORROW
COUNTY
Having been accepted in the Unit
ed States Navy in a specialists rat
ing and being ordered to report
for active duty, on Feb. 26 at Se
attle, I wish to express my deep
appreciation for the support and
cooperation that the people of Mor
row county have given me during
my term of office as sheriff of Mor
row county. It is with sad regret
.that I take leave of absence from
the office of sheriff and the fine
people of Morrow county who have
made it possible to hold that office.
However, in this national emer
gency I feel that being physically
fit and having no dependents I can
serve best by taking active part in
the armed forces fo our nation and
thereby help bring victory to our
cause.
