(An obituary will be published next week.) News From C. A. Office Aalberg Brothers Now Owners of Heppner Bakery A change of ownership in the Heppner bakery has been made this week, with Steve Aalberg of Portland buying the interest of Robert Wiren. Aalberg is a bro ther of Clifford Aalberg, who, with Wiren, bought the bakery last spring from Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Sanders. Steve Aalberg is a practical baker and is turning out the goodies this week while his bro ther is in Portland on business. The Aalberg brothers virtually grew up in the business as their father has operated bakeries in the city for many years. Wiren hopes to remain here and temporarily is helping out at the bakery. He is an exier ienccd welder and has had sev eral years experience in high way construction work, part of it with Kern and Kibbe, of the firm of Newport, Kern & Kibbe, now engaged in rebuilding the Lcxington-Jarmon section of the Lexlngton-Hermiston highway This is the time of year that poultry producers should be or dering chicks for flock replace ments. Experimental results and information from poultry record-all-pullet flocks, or at least kieping projects show that tr-t flocks with a high percentage of pullets, are the most profitable for an egg producer. For this reason, poultry producers should purchase sufficient chicks to re place from 75 to 100 per cent of their flock each year with a fresh supply of pullets. A pullet in her first year of production will lay about 25 per cent more eggs than in her second yc.r. The increase, in egg pi aduc'.i m from pullets come- t2urng fie fall and winter months when prices ru-e high. With ti c : ".''II farm or backyard fine!:, t'-o o.v tire flock should he replaced with a fresh supply of pullets each year. From a management standpoint, it is very d . -sizable to raise the young stud: c;.tir; ly isolated from the olde.- b:rc.". It is an understandable practise to place pullets in the same pen with older birds. The newest pressure sprayer lo be purchased is one that Frank Anderson,. Heppner, re ceived last week. This spr.iyor will be used for grub, lice and fly control on Frank's registered Hereford herd. During the past week several demonstrations on annual weed control and fertilizers have been established. O. W. C'utsforth, Lexington, and- Frank Anderson. Heppner, are demonstrating the use of 2,1-D in control of annu- il weeds in wheat. In addition Cutsforth has a check plot using Sinox. A demonstration on the use of fertilizers on irrigated pastures was put out at the Dick Wight mnu farm Tuesday. Nitrogen, phosphate and sulphur in vary ing amounts and in combina tions are being compared with unfertilized checks. The voca- ional agriculture department and Heppner Soil Conservation district are cooperating with this office in this demonstration. Re sult! of all demonstrations will be published later and Morrow county farmers will have the op portunity to check the results during, a field tour being plan ned for in June. C of C Accepts Bid From Twin Cities For Luncheon Date Milron-Freewater Club Fosters Move For Neighborliness An invitation from the Milton Freewater chamber of commerce to spend a day as guest of that club was accepted Monday by the Heppner chamber of com merce. April 21 was tentatively chosen and if agreeable with the local membership as well as the inviting club that will be the day. The invitation read any Monday prior to April 28 and the local group thought the 21st would be about the right time to see that section in full spring dress. Object of the invitation as sta ted by the M-F club is to create a spirit of neighborliness and understanding between com munities of the district. The Heppner group will put on the program and the host club will provide the luncheon and a con ducted tour over the district. The Heppner chamber of com merce spent a similar day at The Dalles in May last year and when the invitation came from the Milton-Freewaler club there was no debate about accepting. The town's best speakers prepar ed radio talks and the women's chorus proved to the business men of the host city that Hepp ner is not lagging behind in cul tural development. It "is too early to state how many of the local group will lake the day off to visit the Walla Walla valley towns. Many developments are taking place over that way and expressions heard Monday were to the ef fect that it would be time well spent to see the canneries, cold storage plants and other enter prises wheih are inducing many iconic to take up residence there. News Briefs Around Town Mr. and Mrs. Harry Storey and their son James and wife of Sardis, B. C, came from Pendle ton today to visit at the home of Dr. and Mrs. A. D.

The machines are called puff irons and are used for silk finishing work. Operated by steam, they leave the silk surface Undisturb ed, or rather restore the original lustre without the "shine" usu ally given by ordinary pressing. Farmers who will be using wire for bale ties this year ae urged to place their orders early. The demand for baling wire has been so great the past two years that supplies have been used up and factories have not been able ,0 produce fast enough to "catch up."

Troop 3 plans a hike up Wil low creek Saturday as a spring activity. Need for a more ample site for the 'Morrow county hospital was made apparent to the coun ty court and the hospital com mittee here last week when the architect brought plans design ed to fit the site acquired by the county just south of the court house. A review of the plans brought to light the fact that there could be no expansion un less extra stories were put on and this, in the opinion of those viewing the plans, would be undesirable. Fhysicians of the county mqt with the hospital board to give their views and it was found that these views were not in full accord with the plans as dawn for the courthouse site. Neither did they fit the Gilliam prop erty. Following the general discus sion, in which it was detemiin ed that the hospital should in clude no less than 30 beds ex clusive of the matrenity ward; that the maternity ward should contain no less than ten beds and have two delivery 'rooms; that a separate home should be provided for dependants and the hospital used by them only in case of illness where hospitali zation is necessary, and that the building be so constructed that additional wings can be added, J. G. Barratt made an offer of two acres of land within his hillside property. Several members of the group, including the county court, some of the physicians, and others went up on the hill near the site of the old school house where the court said if they could have their pick it would be at a point ' about 100 feet to the south of where the old school building stood. That, turned out to be the exact spot selected by Mr. and Mrs. Barratt upon which to build a new home. (The court is not committed to this or any other site until the architect's new drawings are presented and accepted.) Architect Harrington was in structed to draw up thr new lans and bring them to Hepp ner for study on March 17. If iccepted at that time negotia tions will be made immediately for a site. If the Barratt offer is accepted here will be no cash outlay for i site. A road already graded to the spot will be widened to street width, making the haul- ng of materials up the hill an easy matter. Ample water sup- nlv may be drawn from the .xmnty reservoir and the Barratt Hans lor improvement of the property include sewage disposal. ihe proposed new city reservoir will be located sufficiently high o provide water for the hospital as well as warrant proper fire protection. "We want the best type of ruction consistent with ec niriical operation of the hospl--1.'' Judge Bert Johnson said to day.
