A Duty for Each of Us
For four hours, from 10 until 2 o'clock, on Wed
nesday, May 13, we who live in lone, Lexington
and Heppner and surrounding country will have a
chance to show how much we appreciate what a
lot of our boys are doing in Korea by giving a little
of our blood to thcFlks sponsored Red Cross Blood
mobile during its visit to Heppner. What is even
more important, our pint of blood may very well
be the one that will help bring back some wound
ed soldier who needs it a lot worse than we do.
The coming visit of the Bloodmobile is the first
trip if has made into this area for three years and
we hope the turnout of donors will be so great
that the crew will have to work overtime to take
care of all of them. A goal has been set of 135
pints, but we can see no reason why the take can't
be closer to 175 that's little enough for a com
munity our sie.
We know there are persons, who have not given
blood before, who are a "little scared" of the oper
ation, but they needn't be it's a simple and pain
less process that takes only a few minutes, and
most persons never feel any effects whatsoever
from t ho loss of one pint of blood. Another thing
too, you'll get a free cup of coffee and a donut or
a glass of fruit juice for your donation. That's a
fair trade isn't it?
Again this week, there is a coupon printed in
the Gazette Times asking for the names of donors
and the time they would like to give. Fill yours
out today and mail it to the Elks.
From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. Anderson
The day of unlimited wheat
production with support prices for
all produced seem to be fast ap
proaching an end. There seems
to be two alternatives for the 1954
wheat crop. Neither are good in
the opinion of those to whom I
have talRed. If the Secretary of
Agriculture follows provisions for
establishing acreage allotments
as set up by Congress, they must
be declared this year. The pro
visions declare acreage allot
ments when the wheat carry-over
exceeds normal supply. With de
creased foreign markets this past
year, these conditions now exist.
The alternatives for the 1954
wheat crop, assuming acreage
allotments are declared, are: first,
marketing quotas and second, no
quotas. Both are bad. If mar
keting quotas are voted by the
people, strong prices will con
tinue but for a restricted amount
of wheat. If the referendum does
not carry, price supports would
drop from 90 of parity to 50 of
parity and acreage allotments
would si ill apply.
The Secretary of Agriculture
made it clear in a press release of
April 15 that he will wait until
the latest possible information is
available before making the de
cisions on quotas. The law di
rects that the decision and proc
lamation must be made not later
than July 1 for marketing quotas
and July 15 for acreage allot
ments. If wheat quotas are proclaimed
in June the grower referendum
must he held by July 25. Two
thirds or more of all wheat grow
ers who vote must approve the
proclaimed quotas before they
can be put Into effect.
Kiplinger's Washington News
letter, Monday, stated that there
appeared likely a 25 to 30 per cent
cut for the 1951 wheat crop. If
farmers failed to vote in favor of
marketing quotas, which provides
strong prices for a limited
amount of wheat, and fell to 50
ofparity, tu price would be $1.25
per bushel.
With all of the speculation on
what will happen in wheat pro
duction controls, the planned
drive for increased membership
in the Oregon Wheat Grower's
League is timely. Those close to
Washington, I), C, have for many
years realized the influence that
Oregon's strong wheat growers
organization has .had on policy
making programs which benefits
our growers. With it now evident
that some changes are going to
be made, the Oregon Wheat
Grower's League hope to be
active in the planning of the
new program. We are fortunate
indeed to have Hob Taylor, Uma
tilla wheat farmer, as a member
of the nine-man wheat advisory
committee of the Secretary of
Agriculture, which will have
much to say on what kind of a
program wheat farmers will
have. Mr. Taylor is most out
standing in his ability to con
vince others of what is best for all
and is one of the top authorities
on wheat production in this
country.
Mr. Taylor stresses the need
for ideas and opinions of all
wheat growers instead of only
the few which has been evident
in past years. The organized
membership drive for the Oregon
Wheat Growers League will ac
complish this.
Morrow County's drive will be
gin with a kick-off dinner at 7:00
p. m., May 5. This will be held
for team members and their
wives. The county has been di
vided into eleven areas for ease
of contact. The drive will last
during that week and it is hoped
that 2000 life members can be ad
ded to the list of f.0 wheat
growers who are now life mem
bers in Morrow county.
This is an Important event in
the life of our wheats growers.
What legislation is enacted con
cerning future tarm programs
may depend on the number of
farmers who participate in ex
pressing their views.
After the membership drive is
completed, all farmers will be
called to a spring meeting of
growers, which is now scheduled
to be held on May 20. Policy
making reeommendatioans will
be the purpose of this meeting.
Farmers are urged to set aside
this date and look for further details.

NOTICE OF SCHOOL ELECTION
IN THE RURAL SCHOOL DIS
TRICT OF MORROW COUNTY,
OREGON. UPON QUESTION
OF INCREASING TAX LEVY
OVER AMOUNT LIMITED BY
SECTION 11, ARTICLE XL
STATE CONSTITUTION
Notice is hereby given that
an election will be held Thursday,
May 14, 1953, by the Rural School
District of Morrow County, State
of Oregon, in all component
school districts of said Rural
School District.
The election will be held be
tween the hours of 2 P. M. and

ponent districts. The purpose of

legal voters of the rural school
district the question of increasing
the tax levy for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1, 1953, over the
amount limited by Section 11, Ar
ticle XI of the Constitution.
The reasons are increasing
such levy are:
The low tax base due to the
fact that some districts lost their
base and others could only be in
creased 6 per year while costs
have gone up more rapidly dur
ing and after the war years. In
creased costs are due to increased
cost of personnel, supplies, equip
ment, and services; to add ser
vices like transportation, hot
lunches, music; to bringing school
physical plants and equipment
up to meet the required stand
ards. The total base for all districts
in the Rural School District Is
$122,103,10 and the total to be
raised by tax is $138,490.00.
The amount of tax; in excess of
the six per cent limitation pro
posed to be levied by the rural
school district of Morrow County,
Oregon, for the fiscal vear begin
ning July 1, 1953, is $316,386:90.

citizens of the region and must
give opportunity for exercise of
the normal and natural functions
of the American economic sys
tem," Paul B. McKee, president
told stockholders of Pacific Power
&. Light Company in the com
pany's annual report for 1952,
now in the mail.
The utility president declared
that "past federal power policies
are basically responsible for the
present unbalance betwen energy
loads and capacities" and pointed
out that the task of working out
practical and equitable solutions
is an immediate problem.
In discussing power supply,
McKee pointed out that Pacific
has asked a preliminary permit
to investigate the feasibility of
additional power plants on the
Lewis river above the new 108,-000-kilowatt
Yale project. Pre
liminary test borings made at one
site are now being evaluated, he
said.
A gain of 2727 customers for
the Pacific system for the year is
revealed in the annual report.
This increase brought the total
of electric customers served to
149,051.
Residential customers contin
ued to make increasing use of
electricity suDDlied over the com
pany's lines, with average use for
the year reaching a new hlgn oi
5376 kilowatt . hours. This was
2Vfe times the national average
use, according to J. R. Huffman,
local manager for Pacific.
At the same time, average cost
of domestic electric service sup
plied to customers by Pacific de
clined from 1.4 cents per killowatt
hour to 1.38 cents. This was only
half the average cost for service
nationally.
Electric energy delivered to
customers increased 8.4 per cent
to reach 1628 million kilowatt
hours. Base electric revenues in
creased 7 per cent for the year
and totaled $19,826,509. Total di
rect taxes were $4, 726,069. The
number of owners of common
shares in the company increased
2425 and now total 14,286, while
4707 own preferred stock.
