Heppner FFA Chapter
Plans For Projects
The Heppner F. F. A. chapter
held their regular meeting In the
agricultural building Tuesday,
August 9.
They discussed the idea of leas
ing the kitchen at the fair
grounds or feeding out some
steers or pigs as a source of in
come for the chapter. They de
cided that the kitchen would be
too much trouble for a chapter as
small as theirs and decided feed
ing out some steers and hogs
would be best.
The livestock judging team,
consisting of Eddie Brosnan,
Steve Green and Roy Hughes will
compete at the Umatilla County
Fair which is being held August
18-20.

coffee and promptly arose when
the alarm clock went off in 15

Umatilla Fair to Go
On Despite Loss of
Buildings by Fire
The Umatilla county fair at
Hermiston August 17-20 will be
bigger and better than ever, was
the word this week from fair
bo;ird members who are making
frantic efforts to replace the five
fair buildings burned to the
ground last Monday.
All but two of seven major
buildings went up in flames, but
it was reported today (Thursday)
that through the help of Umatilla
county and Ordnance, numerous
metal buildings have, been made
available for fair use.
The fair program opens Satur
day night with the crowning of
queen Terry Hill of Helix.
Welfare Aid
Continued from Page 1
pended for medical care of reci
pients of all the categories of aid.
Aid to dependent children
grants decreased only $127 and a
decrease of $577 in aid to the
blind was due to the closing of
the only grant in that program in
October. General assistance, in
cluding foster care, decreased
$581. .98 primarily due to the fact
that no children were in need of
foster home care during the past
year.
It was noted that the total ap
proved budget for the 54-55 period
was $81,467.00 compared to the to
tal $65,455.98 expenditures, repre
senting a difference of $16,011.02
Administrative costs increased
only $101.13. The increasing
costs of medical treatment and
the fact that the program for aid
to the permanent and totally dis
abled is still relatively new, ap
pear to be the important factors
In the consideration of the ex
penditures for public assistance
in the county, Myrick pointed out.
The commission includes mem
bers of the county court, Garnet
Barratt, chairman and county
judge, Ralph Thompson, Heppner,
and Russell Miller, Boardman,
commissioners, J. O. Hager and
Charles Jones, Heppner, Mrs.
Ernest Heliker, lone and Mrs.
