Health Board Puts
Pressure on City
Dads About Sewers
Sanitation Dept.
. Offers Help to Get
Project Started
The city council should be
pushing the proposed sewer sys
tem with more determination
and vigor in the opinion of Har
old Merryman, assistant sanitary
engineer with headquarters at
Pendleton. Merryman paid the
council a visit at the regular
monthly session Monday evening
ostensibly to make a report on
the condition of the swimming
pool. His findings there relative
to drainage were reported and
proved to be nothing serious.
After reporting on the tank,
Mayor Lanham asked Merryman
if he had anything to offer on
the sewer system and he coun
tered with an inquiry if the city
authorities were doing anything
about the project. The mayor in
formed him that there was little
the council could do until the
bond attorney submitted his re
port; that the council was rea
dy to call a special election if
the report is favorable. The ma.
yor also expressed the opinion
that the city, through its attor
ney, had made a clear statement
relative to its standing indebt
edness, the method of retiring ,
bonds ..and ..oiher .factors -.nlar
ing into the project but felt that
the opportunity to get the appro
val of the taxpayers had been
lost through delay occasioned by
the bond attorney's failure to act
on the application submitted
some two years ago.
Merryman assured the council
that the health board would co
operate in any way to get the
project rolling and a tentative
arrangement was made for him
and Attorney J. J. Nys to visit
the bond attorney and try to get
some results.
A request from the park board
that the city equipment be used
in filling and leveling the south
half of the park tract in prepara
tion for seeding to lawn grass
was granted. This work will be
done before the high wire fence
is put up along the creek bank.
Seeding will be done within the
month, or prior to September 15.

Nebraska Minister Accepts Call To Head
Church of Christ in Heppner Coming Year
Rev. R. J. McKowen of Teka
mah, Nebraska has accepted an
invitation to become the pastor
of the Church of Christ replacing
Rev. Glen Warner who has re
signed, effective Sept. 1. Rev. Mc
Kowen was in Heppner over the
week-end, having brought out a
load of household furniture, but
returned to Nebraska to complete
an evangelistic program in
which he is .engaged for the
summer. He and Mts. McKowen
will return to Heppner about
Sept. 17 to make their home. Rev.
Warner plans to spend the win
ter in Spokane doing special
work and next year -will attend
an eastern university for further
study.
Mrs. J. O .Rasmus left Satur
day for Portland where she will
spend a week attending buyers
market. During her absence, Mrs.
Henry Aiken assisted in the
store.
Mrs. Percy Bleakman is here
from Missoula, Montana for a vi
sit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
E. Jay Merrill.
Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Scouten and
C. O. LeGrand were here from
Grants Pass over the week-end
after the Scoutens' farm equip
ment which has been in storage.
They have purchased a farm on
the Rogue River near Grants
Pass. During their stay in Hepp
Stork Disregards
Schedule, Delivers
Baby Out-of-State
County Agent Nelson Anderson
is convinced that doctors go
wrong in setting the dates for
the stork's visit but that the
stork can be counted to deliver
his little bundle of joy on sche
dule regardless of all other plans.
Anderson returned Saturday
evening from Fort Collins, Colo,
where he spent three weeks at
summer school. He was accom
panied by Mrs. Anderson and
their twin sons. They had plan
ned to arrive in Heppner prior to
the 7th because that was the
date the stork was scheduled to
pay a visit to their home. Ar
riving at Montpelier, Idho, it was
decided to remain over night.
Before retiring the location of the
hospital was noted just in case.
In about an hour's time it was
necessary to take Mrs. Anderson
there and about midnight an
eight pound one ounce son was
born. This is their sixth child,
four boys and two girls.
A report of their experience was
given by Anderson at the cham
ber of commerce luncheon Mon
day. He also gave a report on
the summer school and the ac
tivities he participated in.
He said he is back at work
trying to catch up with work that
piled up during the past four
weeks while absent from the
county. Extension summer school
at Colorado A. & M. college at
Fort Collins was well worth the
trip, as well as the change of
scenery, a chance to look around
at other farm operations and to
just rest a bit. Agriculture, home
and 4-H agents from 23 states
and agricultural workers from
seven foreign countries were en
rolled in the three weeks course.
Exchange of experiences and
finding out how the Extension
program operates in other states
was very interesting.
Enrolled in Rural Recreation
and Youth programs, the many
discussions from various states'
programs, suggestions and train
ing will work well into the Mor
row county program to improve
its quality, Anderson believes.
Visits at the Wyoming Here
ford lanch, near . Cheyenne,
where herd sires and many of the
registered breeding herd were
seen, feeder tours where feeders
feed as many as 18,000 cattle per
year and experiment station
I tours were a few of the extra
curricular activities. But after be.
ing gone for a month, Morrow
county is a good place to return
to, he concluded.

New Elevator In
Use Since Monday
MorrowCounty Grain Growers,
Inc.new elevator was pressed in
to service Monday, after numer
ous delays in receiving machin
ery parts. There were further de
lays when some of the machin
ery broke down, but repairs were
made promptly and the grain
began filling bins at a rapid
rate.
More than 20 trucks loaded
with grain were lined up in the
driveway and parking area wait
ing for the doors to open. There
was no little disappointment
when the first breakdown occur
ed but the tension lessened as
the drivers realized the equip
ment had not been given a
chance for proper testing before
swinging into action.
Although now in use, there re
mains more work to complete
the structure, particularly the
roof. In the meantime, grain is
pouring in from other sections
besides the Heppner district and
the capacity of the new plant
will be taxed before many days.

EX-SERVICE MEN NOT
REQUIRED TO REPORT NOW
Oregon state headquarters, se
lective service system, announc
ed today that the local boards
of the state were receiving in-
iormation m connection with
changes of address, marital sta
tus, etc., from men who were re
gistered under the 1940 Act but
who were too old to register un
der tne 1948 Act.
"It is rather a healthv sien."
Col. Francs W. Mason, deputy
state director, said today, "as it
indicates that the general pub
lic is gradually awaking to the
fact that registrants under the
selective service act must keep
tneir local boards advised of all
changes."
Col. Mason continued that the
only men in whom selective ser
vice is now interested are those
born after 30 August 1922. "Un
til such time as the congress en
acts legislation raising the age
for registration," he concluded,
"these older men have no res
ponsibility under the existing
statute."
Jack Combes, selective service
secretary for this district, reports
that numerous men of the class
of 1940 are writing in to inform
the board of their present status
and he wishes to inform them
that only these eligible under the
1948 act are required to send in
this information. He says that
tnree men from the district will
be called nn from the class tak.

Streets, Highway
Given Binder Coat
During Past Week
Linden Way, Main street, May
street and a portion of North
Court street received a binder
coat of oil and crushed rock Fri
day when a large state highway
crew moved in and went to work.
The improvement did not stop
within the city limits but was
continued on up Hinton creek to
the foot of Jones hill. This makes
the highway improvement pro
gram complete from Heppner
Junction to Jones hill. A binder
coat was put on the Jordan Si-ding-Heppner
section two years
ago and a crew recently finished
coating the Heppner Junction
Jordan Siding section.
The work just done here is re
ported to have been the direct
result of the state highway com
mission's recent visit, as the dis
trict engineer, while having the
project on his agenda, had had
no indication that it would be
done this year.

Someone must have passed the
word along about the excellent
board provided the county's

in cutting down the list. There
are so many regular boarders
that Police Chief Gomillion's ov

Service Groups To
Entertain Rodeo
Folks August 19
A party to honor Queen Joan,
her court and the officials con
nected with the Morrow County
Fair and Rodeo, has been arrang
ed by the members of the Hepp
ner Chamber of Commerce, the
Soroptimist Club of Heppner and
the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The date chosen is Saturday,
August 19, at 7:30 p. m. If the
weather permits the party will
be held on the W. O. George
lawn; if the weather is not co
opewitive, it will be held in part
of the new fair pavilion.
In years past each organization
has entertained the royal court
separately, but it was thought
that if the clubs joined their
resources, it would not only re
sult in a bigger and better en
tertainment but would also be
more convenient for the young
ladies and others concerned to
get together for one grand occa
sion rather than for several
small er ones.
The entire party will, of course,
follow the western theme, as to
garb, food and entertainment.
Participating will be the rodeo
queen and her attendants, to
gether with their chaperones and
parents, the county court, the
fair board, those in charge of
the various phases of putting on
the fair and rodeo and the mem
bers of the sponsoring organiza
tions as well as husbands and
wives in all Instances.

Farm Hand Killed
In Tractor Upset on
Sand Hollow Ranch
George Larson, 67,
Was Employed By
Kirk & Robinson
George Larson, 67, met instant
death Monday when a tractor
he was driving at the Kirk &
Robinson ranch in Sand Hollow
upset and he was impaled by
either the gear shift or the ex
haust pipe. He was found, by
Merle Kirk, senior partner of the
firm.
Larson had been an employee
at the ranch for about five years
but had not become proficient in
operating the tractor. He had
gone up the hill from the house
to salt cattle in the pasture. That
was a regular chore and he us
ually rode a horse. His employers
are at a loss to know why he de
cided to take the tractor.
The body was brought to the
Phelps Funeral Home in Hepp
ner and prepared for shipment to
Berthold, N. P. for final rites. A
nephew, L. L. VanBuskirk, came
from Berthold to accompany the
casket home.
Mr. Larson was born in Nor
way on November 22, 1882. He
had been in the United States 60
years and in Oregon about 20
years. He is survived by several
nephews and nieces in North
Dakota.
Minnesota Sheriff
Had Trip to Oregon
Country Regardless
Traveling from one state to an
other to pick up a prisoner is not
classed as pleasure riding or
touring but in the case of F. F.
Kamphenkel, sheriff of Todd
county, Minn., a trip to Oregon
this week will have to be charg
ed off s a tour. The three-day
drive to Heppner from his home
town of Long Prairie could hard
ly be placed under the heading
of pleasure.
Sheriff Kamphenkel arrived at
10 o'clock Tuesday evening ready
to receive Harold Heffron from
Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman for
transportation back to Minnesota.-
Heffron had signed a wai
ver and signified a willingness
to return to Todd county to ans
wer a non-support charge filed
against him. Sheriff Bauman no.
tified the Minnesota authorities
that the prisoner was ready to
return to his home state. In the
meantime, Heffrons attorney,
Walter Evans of Portland, arrived
on the scene and made arrange
ments to "spring" him from jail
here. Sheriff Bauman sent a sec
ond wire to the Todd county of
ficials but Sheriff Kamphenkel
had started for Oregon and could
not be located. He spent about
30 minutes trying to persuade
Heffron to accompany him back
to Minnesota but the prisoner re
fused to go, so the sheriff start
ed right .back.
Sheriff Bauman did not get to
meet the Minnesota officer, hav
ing gone to Portland to attend a
meeting of the Northwest Peace
Officers association Monday and
Tuesday.

Francis "Nick" Nickerson has
been to places far and wide on
this troubled old planet and
there were times when he
thought the world was a rather
large place, especially when he
was in the Orient and a broad
expanse of ocean lay between
him and the good old U. S. A.
This one idea about size was
somewhat reduced recently, as

I have been assigned as a route
salesman in a small territory
down in the Ozark region here
in Missouri for a couple of weeks.
This past week my route took me
to Steeleville, a town of about
1000 people. In the town's larg
est general store the conversa

Don't think it can't happen.
It does happen to one out of ten

LAWS NEEDED
The rapidly increasing number
of industrial plants in Oregon's
municipalities calls for laws to
control air pollution and state
funds with which to enforce the
laws.
Objectives adopted Tuesday by
Governor McKay's recently ap

ject provide for study of such
laws now in force in adjoining
states for the purpose of recom
mending legislation from the
standpoint of industrial develop
ment and the hearth and wel
