From where I sit ... iy Joe Marsh, Will's Hospitality Isn't "Cracked" Ever since January, Will Dudley planned to give his living room that "new look" planned to care fully refinish the woodwork and replaster the walla. Every time Will got out the putty to start filling in the cracks, a neighbor stopped by to pass the time of day - and first thing you knew, there waa a group of us help ing Will do the job up right After Will called halt to the evening's work, we'd ait around the Are en joying friendly argument and sparkling glass of mellow beer. So Will's living room doesn't look like it did a year ago but it's by far the most "livable" living room I knowi A place you can always drop in for good talk, good beer, and a warm welcome. From where I sit, so long as Will puts that atmosphere of hospital ity and good fellowship ahead of everything else, we'll all be happy to help Will change the looki of his living room any time he wants.

Countless rivulets and gulleys in the wheat fields and summer fallow in this area are shocking evidence that our lands are liter ally bleeding to death. Heavy rains and cloudbursts in this county have cut deep gashes in the priceless topsoil, drastically reducing the ability of the land to produce crops. The chocolate brown streams, the deepening gulleys on our fields and even the silt covered streets seen in our towns this spring are graphic evidences that our soil is moving swiftly to the bottom of the ocean, supervisors warned. The South Heppner area, in particular, suf fered extensively from the heavy storms this spring. Intelligent use of our land by such soil conservation practices as contour farming, trashy fallow, strip cropping and proper slock- ing on grazing lands can and will prevent this useless waste of our lands, the supervisors said. Ranchers wishing technical as sistance to prevent these soil loss es on their farms may contact their supervisors or the Soil Con servation office in the bank buil ding in Heppner. Supervisors are Henry Peterson, chairman; Or ville Cutsforth, vice chairman; Orian Wright, treasurer; Nelson C.
