Save Just a Little Power,
It Will Help
A story on the front page of last week's paper
concerning the current Northwest power shortage
which stated that probably the effect on this area
would be slight, perhaps treated the problem a
little too lightly though in the light of the facts as
they were then available, it was technically cor
rect. The situation could very well become much
more acute than most persons realize.
The mandatory 10 per cent reduction by big
power users which was ordered by the. defense
electric power administration to start last Monday,
will have, as was stated last week, little effect
here for the Heppner Lumber company is the only
local industry using enough power to be effected
by the reduction. It has sufficient generating
capacity of its own to take up the slack. Such has
not been the case with numerous other industries
in Oregon and Washington. Several of them have
already been forced to lay off workers in order to
meet the cut. If another reduction should be call
ed for in the near future, not only would it force
the further cut back of operations of the indus
tries already hurt, but it could effect our own local
operation too. Another 10 per cent power cut
could mean some of our own workers would be out
of a Job along with many others in the states in
the northwest power pool.
The whole difficulty stems from the lack of
water in the area's greatest source of hydro energy,
the Columbia river, which is at its lowest point in
many years. Only rain, and lots of it, can bring
an end to the shortage and that rain must be
warm. If the moisture falls in the form of snow, it
won't acid muoh to the runoff now and the north
west could very possibly be caught In the middle of
the worst power shortage in its history.
Lacking rain, about which we can do very little
except to hoe, "rainmakers' notwithstanding,
what can we as individuals do to help case the
country over the crisis? There is a big part that
every householder and every business can take
one of care In the use of lights and power. It's
as simple as that! If you can get by with one light
instead of two, It will help. If your neighbor will
do the same, it will help twice as much. The
power saved by turning out one light bulb is very
little, but when it Is multiplied by a million homes,
it's a lot and it might be enough that some more
workers won't have to go idle because there isn't
enough juice to run their machines.
See w hat we mean when we say that maybe we
treated the matter too lightly last week?
The thought occurred to us too, that in the face
of yearly power shortages, we in the northwest,
the greatest of ail potential power generating sec
tions of the nation continue to argue for months
on end about who and how and where our much
needed additional dams shall be built. In fact
there has been considerable discussion on whether
some of them should be built at all.
Maybe if the power shortage hurts us enough
we will learn that we can do better if we pull to
gether for the fullest development of our greatest
natural resource. Possibly a few fish will have to
suffer, but without power to run our industries
and provide our payrolls, most of us wouldn't be
in any position to do much fishing anyway.
lone's Day
Jubilation was great in lone last Saturday, and
under the circumstances it should have been. lone
beat Heppner at football.
To make such an issue out of that might seem
a little unnecessary until a person stops to think
that it has been nearly 20 yea"rs since such an
event oceured. To make the victory even sweeter,
this is the first year in more than ten, we are told,
that the Cardinals have competed in 11 man foot
ball, and then to wind up a successful season by
knocking over an arch football enemy and next
door neighbor is ample cause for joy. If we lived
In lone, we'd have added a few whoops of our own
to the commotion.
Ione's 20-man squad deserves a lot of credit
for turning in as fine a record as they have, four
wins against three losses for the season, but we 11
bet they wouldn't have been any happier last
weekend if they had lost all their other games as
long as they won this one.
The Mustangs shouldn't feel too badly over
their loss though, for to be beaten by a better team
when you're doing your best is no disgrace, and
no one can say that the Heppner boys didn't try.
Maybe they have played better games, but mis
takes and breaks are part of' any football game.
They can, and do, work both ways. Heppner has
won by them, as well as lost.
Regardless of what might be said, you can't de
tract from Ione's victory they earned it. It was
their day.

The drive to clean up Bangs
disease in Morrow County is on.
Wjth Dr. Floyd Frank, Bureau
of Animal Industry veterinarian,
now located here, ranchers find
that it takes little effort to make
appointments for having cows
tested; heifer replacements calf
hood vaccinated. Dr. Frank has
reinforcements available in the
form of additional veterinarians
in surrounding counties if there
should be more cattle to be tested
than he can handle. It is reported
that another veterinarian will bo

the program finished that was
started four years ago. This will
make Morrow County the first in
Eastern Oregon to have the re
cord of cleaning out Brucellosis.

have been turning out with the
first cuts in the squad due soon.
The grade school lettermen's

Attending the annual meetings
of the Oregon Fairs Association
and Oregon Wool Growers Associ
ation in Portland last week, the
agent found that problems are
many on putting on fairs and
raising sheep in many other coun
ties beside Morrow.
Serving as secretary of the
sheep diseases committee, much
discussion was held and concern
shown of the new sheep disease,
Scrapie, just recently introduced
to Oregon. The disease, a nervous
disorder, has an incubating per
iod up to three years which makes
it Impossible to eradicate from a
flock. The disease was introduced
from California in a purchase of
Suffolk rams. These were dis
covered and returned to Califor
nia but not before two bands of
Oregon sheep were exposed. These
sheep are under quarantine in ftj?
Southern Oregon. f a
ivium uuiiLciii was miuwii uy
tair omcials during their asso
ciation meetings on holding pari
mutuel betting funds for fair pur
poses. Steps were taken to keep
these funds from going into the
state general fund, leaving the
counties to provide means of fi-
nancing their own fair. R. L. Clark
vice-president of the Pacific In
ternational, pointed out that Fairs
are necessary if we-are to im
prove agriculture in any country.
The competition for something
better than your neighbor has de
veloped agriculture from the time
of King Arthur, 800 years ago,
when the first fair and auction
sale was held by means of taxes
and appropriations for this purpose.
the first and second grade room
last Wednesday Dick Springer
was seven and Chris Burkenbine
was eight years old. Chris had a
birthday party at school.
. His mother, Mrs. Loyd Burken
bine did not wish to break into
the school schedule so made ar
rangements to bring refreshments
to be served after 2:30 Friday, a
period usually devoted to the en
joyment of stories or music.
Chris acted as host and was as
sisted in the serving by six of
his friends chosen at random from
the group. The children enjoyed
the party and gave Mrs. Burken
bine a hearty vote of thanks be
fore they went home.
NEWS OF THE

The high school closed its first
successful eleven-man football
season with a victory over Hepp
ner. lone scored four victories
and suffered three defeats in a
seven game schedule. Team mem
bers incurred ten injuries in
games and practice, none of these
were really serious and all were
covered by OSAA Insurance.
With the advent of cold weather
this week the indoor play sche
dule has begun with the resulting
noise and chaos of having only
the one gym for elementary and
high school play. This is the last
winter of such difficulty because
our new building is already 12
complete.
The Senior class held a box
social at the gym on Friday night.
A small crowd attended and all
had an enjoyable time. The Sen
iors added the amount raised to
their funds.

Granny Robinson put on quite a
show the other night at the annual
White Elephant auction held at
the Women's Club.
Towards the end of the evening,
she had the ladies battling for
anything she put up. "What am I
bid for this woman's lovely black
coat here good as new? Who'll
say ten dollars?" she asked.
Granny held the coat up, and
commenced describing the coat's
lining, sleeves, buttons really
"selling hard." Then, suddenly,
she took a close look and blurted
out "Land sakes, no more bidding
please this is my own coat!"
From where I sit, what almost
happened to Granny was good for
a laugh, but sometimes when peo
ple "get carried away" with their
own talk it's not so funny. I prefer
a glass of temperate beer while
listening to my favorite radio pro

or cider. I suggest we hold on to
our personal opinions and be

close look at them before we try to
