mrc and mure often lately,
"What are d;i !iiu: wilh ih'

been noiliiti;: much to repurt.
.Nearly evrynne knows that
ihe people voted to establish a
cemetery mitiiiien.'inre district,
Ihe boundary of which coincides
with the present boundaries of
School District No. that a
board of di lectors, consisting of
Mrs. Harold INans, 1'anl .Tones,

bee, in the will, of oraniing the

that Ilarrait s "'r,n 01 ""

Harold l'.e kel was elected to suc
ceed him on the hoard.
It is fairlv common knowledge
that the function of the district is
to acquire and maintain suitable

rules governing the use of the
,,.,neierv and set up a fund from
in; lament of which, in
,.,,nTxe of lime, an income may
derived that will at least help to
maintain the cemeteries in a
satisfactory condition.
It is probably not so well
known that there are three come
leries already in existance with
in the district Pleasant Point,
located on the Currin ranch near
Butter Creek, the Rhea Creek
cemeterv, on ihe Hayes place on
Rhea Creek, and me iieppnvr
Masonic Cemetery, situated on
ihe hill south of Heppner. Since
the taxpayers in the area about
the country cemeteries are help
ing to pay'ihe maintenance levy,
it "is natural that the district
should he expected to keep those
cemeteries in shape.
Since their election, the direc
tors have been quietly going
about the business of acquiring
title to the three cemeteries. Mr.
Hugh Currin have
the district title

promised to give

and a survey and description
that area is being prepared. The
title to the Rhea Creek cemetery-
is being investigated, prepara-
tory to securing a deed. An
agreement has been reached with
the Masonic Lodge for the pur
chase of the cemetery at Heppner,)
and a deed is being prepared. Aj
token offer of $1000 was madei
the Lodge, and accepted with tne
following reservations: the ceme
tery is to revert to the Lodge if it
should cease to be operated as a
public cemetery; the name is to
be retained.
In view of the fact that the
Masonic Lodge has operated the
cemeterv for some seventy years,
during which several generations!
of Masons have given liberally
ot tncir time anct enon toward
its maintenance, it is felt that
their wishes should be followed
in this regard, as a sort of me
morial. Also, the district is not
in a position to refuse this re
quest, as there is no doubt lhat
it is this cemetery that the people
wish to repair and maintain, not
new one in a more remote place.
The tax levy of 3 mills is ex
pected to bring in about $9,000,
of which over $K100 is now in the
county treasury.
It should be apparent that up
to this time there would not be
much that the directors could do,
beyond the routine organization
of the district, there being neither
cemeteries to maintain, nor funds
with which to do so.
From now on, however, some
action may be expected. Among
the first things the board expects
to Ho with the Heppner cemetery
are the laying out and improve
ment of streets and the arrange-'
ment of facilities for irrigation.!
Soon equipment for maintenance!
will have to be purchased, and
one or more persons hired to do
the work. Considerable money
will have to be spent this year,
getting things started. It is hoped
that the tax levy can be reduced
from now on to one mill. Since
the 1053 meeting of the state
legislature made it possible to
include personal property in the
district valuation, a one-mill levy
should raise about $1000.
The law applying to cemetery
maintenance districts permits the
establishment of a permanent
fund, partly from the money
raised bv lew, and from the sale
of lots and contributions. Severs
citizens have expressed a willing,
ness to make contributions to the
fund, which, of course, will be
gratefully received, whether
large or small, with the hop" that
we will someday he able to give
our (cmetery perptual care from
the interest on the fund.
Th" willingness of the people
to e: tablish the district and pay
a tax for its use assure tr--' di

se of the hoard to work eon-
kv.. iously toward that end.

Fresh Oranges for Tasty Winter Salads
AiSlii -n-iiiTinir.ii.irT- i Tim?lSMmamtMSnm im mi 11 I Hi ll nil i
Winter salads are best of all when they're refreshing and tangy
good tasting and good for you, too. Plump California orange cartwheel
slices spark any winter salad, are specially good when combined with
other fruits. And, in addition to all that fine flavor, you get quantities
of vitamin C, as well as protopectins, and other healthful nutrients
found in the "meat" of whole oranges something to remember during
the cold, wet winter season.
A handsome, easy to prepare salad like the one pictured will be the
center of attraction on the company or family table. Arrange cartwheel
slices of California oranges in parallel rows on a big chop plate or
serving platter. Tuo alternating rows of apple and banana slices be
tween them, fringe the edges with curly leaf lettuce and garnish with
maraschino cherries for color contrast. Guests will be eager to help
themselves from this attractive plate. Lemon French dressing is the
perfect accompaniment for this salad.
California navel oranges will be coming into the markets soon now
be on the lookout for them. These are the ideal eating oranges they're
seedless and easiest of all to peel. Sweet and juicy, too, just right for
salads.
