News From
C. A. Office!!
Announcement of the winner of
the Carl Raymond Gray scholar
ship for 1945 has just been made.
This scholarship is given to one
outstanding 4-H club member in
each county each year and is made
possible through the Union Pacific
railway company.
Morrow county's winner is Aud
rey Majeske of Lexington. Audrey
has completed eight years of club
work carrying fourteen projects
during these years. She has been a
junior leader for two years In ad
dition to carrying the many pro
jects. She is to be complimented
and congratulated on her outstand
ing achievements in club work.
This week,. July 21-27, is Natl
onal Farm Safety week. This does
not mean, however, that if this
week is observed r.o accidents will
occur the rest of the harvest
son. I believe all of our Morrow
county farmers will wish to make
every week of the year Farm Saf
ety week for their own good. An
arm, leg, or eye lost is each farm
ers loss and it should be remem
bered as such. Precautions should
be taken to prevent as much such
accidental loss as possible. It
should always be remembered that
farming is the most hazardous of
any single major occupation as one
fourth of the occupational deaths
in the United Suites occur in agri
culture. On Wednesday, July 17, and
Thursday, July 18. three members
of Oregon State College Extension
service were in Heppner to have
a conference with the two exten
sion agents of Morrow county .Those
present from the state office for
the conference were Charles W.
Smith, former Morrow county ag
ricultural agent, now assistant di
rector of extension; L- J. Allen,
assistant 4-H club leader; and
Mabel C. Mack, assistant home de
monstration leader.
The purpose of the meeting was
. to acquaint Nels Anderson and
Kathryn Monahan, the two new
extension agents, with a coopera
tive extension program for Mor
row county.
Mrs. Mack will return Friday,
Sept. 27 for the Homemaker's pro
grain planning day. This will be a
county-wide meeting of the Home
maker'i county committee to select
the projects they plan to do for
the next year.

TOO MANY
Rancher Suffers
Badly Broken Arm
Frank Wilkinson all but lost his
left arm last Thursday in an acci
dent at the ranch. He was driving
his pickup and met one of his
trucks on which was loaded a piece
ot haying machinery. Presumably
Mr. Wilkinson put his hand out of
the cab window to flag the truck
down and the projecting machine
struck his arm- Not only did lie
suffer a bad fracture, but skin and
flesh were badly torn and it looked
lor a time like amputation would
be necessary.
. The unfortunate man was taken
to the Heppner hospital where the
injury was attended to and he is
getting along nicely.
Jap Cooperation
Surprise to Allies
One of the great surprises com
ing out of the Allied victory in
World War II is the cooperative
spirit of the Japanese people. This
has been manifest in apprehending
and punishing war criminals and
in the general program of rehabi
litation and governmental reor
ganization. These general facts and
some of the details of war crime
prosecution were told the lunch
eon group of the Heppner chamber
of commerce Monday noon by
Warrant Officer Lemoine Cox who
has just come from the Orient
where he spent nine months in
crime investigation service.
This cooperative spirit has puz
zled Allied commanders, he stated,
and knowing the Japanese people
at home gives one a different im
pression to that obtained from
meeting the Japanese militarist
abroad.
How some of the war time ma
teriel was produced by farmer
groups at a saving to the war de
partment was told by Robert V
Turner of Portland. Turner was
with the ofiice of chief of ord
nance during the war. A group of
farm mechanics at Baker obtained
a contract to turn out a certain
number 'of truck bodies. The con
tract was filled on schedule and
the war department experienced a
saving of $30 per body under the
price paid the regular truck build
ing concern. Other savings were
made by similar groups.
Mrs. Lucy Rodgers brought
greetings to the club and to the
people of Heppner from H, A.
Blankenship. former school super
intendent of Heppner, whom she
met at the National Educational
association convention in Bufialo.
