People Have Made Oregon,
Let's Have More of 'em!
We couldn't help but get just a little bit dis
gusted last week when we saw the statement one
of our state senators made while discussing a
legislative bill proposing that the Oregon Devel
opment be allowed to spend $20,000 for advertis
ing the state. We don't remember his statement
word for word, but it was to the effect that it
would be better to use that amount of money to
help the state get rid of a few surplus people,
rather than invite others to come to Oregon. The
senator seemingly prefers to have the beauties of
his state remain untouched and un-viewed by
anyone other than himself and a limited number
of other "native Oregonians.' Isn't that being a
little selfish?
The state of Oregon and many local agencies
are spending many thousands of dollars each year
inviting people from other parts of the nation to
visit the stale which we believe offers more scenic
attractions than most any other, with the hope be
hind it all, that some of those visitors will like the
state well enough to decide to make it their home,
bringing with them their skills and knowledge
and, quite frequently, their own financing. Every
chamber of commerce in Oregon is doing its ut
most to encourage more people to come to its com
munity knowing that only from people comes
progress and increased business for every mer
chant and businessman.
Only by wanting will Oregon continue to pro
gress, and we don't think that the people of Ore
gon have yet gotten t6 the point that they no
longer want. Senator Gill inferred that Oregon
doesn't want any more people. We don't think that
is true. ,

A Job Being Well Done
The nearly 300 4-H club members in Morrow
county are joining this week with more than two
million other members in America in observing
National 4-H Club Week when members make
special effort to show the public the things they
have been doing and learning during the year.
Many of these numerous projects are now on dis
play in store windows in every county community
and represent considerable effort on the part of
our 411 clublers.
The education and training these boys and
girls get does much to get them started in life and
their program is based on their pledge wnicn says: I
"I pledge my Head to clear thinking, my Heart 1
to great loyalty, my Hands to larger service, my
Health to better living, for my club, my commun
ity, and my country."
One of the main points emphasized in 411 club
work is that whatever project is started by a
member, should be completed. That type of train
ing is something we all could use more of.
For the incentive to complete more than 90 per
cent of all projects started, Morrow county 4-H
members and their leaders deserve much credit
not just during this week, but continually.

From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C Andraon
From visiting with some of our
livestock men during the past
year or a year and a half and the
casualties they have had from
cattle drinking post preservative
treatments, it might be timely
to remind those who have not
learned from first hand exper
ience that a barrel of post preser
vative liquid where cattle can
get to it, could be costly. We
know of at least eight cattle that
have been killed during the past
year from drinking this solution.
While the post preservative itself
is claimed not to be poison, the
diesel or stove oil mixed with it
can cause digestional disturb
ances that kill animals two ways.
They might be killed immediate
ly or linger for several weeks be
fore dicing. Keeping your post
preservative barrel in an enclos
ure away from cattle might save
you hundreds of dollars.

Morrow County farmers who

years ago to solve their problems
of grain marketing win get xo-j

its ups and downs like many far
mer cooperatives have but we
know that if all of the money
which has been gained through
this organization was distributed
among our people, that it would
amount to a greater savings than
the majority of our farm people
realize. The silver anniversary
banquet should arouse much in
terest and do much to review ac
complishments that some may
have forgotten.
news paper, you are reminded to
attend. The demonstration will
be held on Friday with two sche
duled for the day. The first will
be at the" Oscar Peterson farm
south of lone, where a young
orchard, its care, management,
and pruning techniques will be
demonstrated. In the afternoon,
an old unkept orchard at the N.
C. Anderson home in Heppner
will be the subject of discussion
and demonstration techniques.
On Tuesday of this week, ap
proximately 40 commercial spray
operators, county weed super
visors and state highway depart
ment crews from Morrow, Gil
liam and Wheeler counties, met
to discuss spray programs, old
and new chemicals, how they are
used, and ways of reducing spray
hazards. During the day those
who will have, occasion to apply
chemicals during the season
were given an examination that
is required of all spray operators.
The exam was given by Ray
Kelso of the State Department of
Agriculture. This meeting held
for the first time in 1954, gives
those working with sprays an op
portunity to understand the com
plexities of sprays and the need
for using them wisely.
Several weeks ago, we discus
sed in this column some of the
problems and their solution to
getting the most from the least
moisture if conditions remain
such as they are. Moisture con
ditions have improved somewhat
however they are a long ways
from adequate moisture for most
rapid growth, especially under
dryland conditions. A meeting
that has been held for many
years, is that of the Water Fore
cast at which time moisture out
look for the coming year is dis
cussed between those agencies
which are concerned. This year
because of the moisture situation,
the meetings have been set up
to be of interest to everyone.
The Water Forecast meeting
for the water shed area that will
affect Morrow County, will be
held at the Vert Memorial Build
ing in Pendleton on Monday,
March 14. Included to be dis
cussed along with the water for-
College; Fred Tileston, Assistant
Irrigation Engineer; and Jack
Frost of the Soil Conservation
Service will appear on the pro
gram Those interested are urged
to attend. I will have room for
several to ride with me if inter
ested. The meeting will last from
9:00 to 3:30 p. m.

Nobody around here can re
member when Pop Turner wasn't
our town's postman. He must have
been toting that big, heavy mail
sack since Pony Express days.
That's why it's sometimes a
shock to see him these days pull
ing his mail bag around in a
"caddy cart," a sort of light
wagon that golfers use so they
don't have to carry their clubs.
"Folks sometimes holler lore'
at me and ask me how my game
is," Pop reports, "but I'm not
ashamed to learn something new.
Just wish I'd thought about these
golf gadgets years ago!"
From where I sit, it's good to
see someone come up with a new
wrinkle -keeps us from feeling
too regimented. For instance,
perhaps you've always felt that
hot milk is the only thing to
drink at bedtime. Then someday
you meet a fellow who prefers a
cold glass of beer. Well, that's his
choice and certainly he's en
titled to it.-We can't expect
everyone to follow our old habits
to the "letter."

There's even more to
Chevrolet styling
than meets the eye!
This is beauty with a ltonus . . . for Chevrolet
styling is designed to add safety and comfort
while you drive, and to return greater value
when you trade.
Truly modern lines are shaped by usefulness. You
can see what we mean in the deep crystal curve of
Chevrolet's Sweep-Sight windshield ... a dramatic
style note, certainly, hut one that stems from the need
for wider, safer vision. Or take high-set taillights
tlicy add to the impressive length of line . . . but
they arc up where they can lie seen for safety's sake.
The smart louvers across the hood aren't just dec
oration . . . they mark the intake for the High-Level
ventilation system for cleaner, fresher air. And the
whole shape of the body its lowncss, the dipped belt
iine is merely a reflection of a lowered center of
gravity, the added stability.
This is truly functional styling that serves you
belter every mile, and preserves its value against the
distant day when you trade. This is Body by Fisher
another Chevrolet exclusive in the low-price field.
Come in and let us demonstrate that this new Chev
r iiet is just as exciting to drive as to look at!
