3 O a po r o o t a z: n: ultra 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.
