ODD ENDS... CAPE CANAVERAL, OREGON? Morrow county this week could claim another news "first" at least for the current season, when three members of the lone Rocket Club got their experimental missile off the ground last Sunday. The launching was completely succ essful, too for once it got into the air, nobody has seen anything more of it. We sort of doubt that the launching was so perfect that the rocket is still going up, but at least it got high enough that it disappeared in the clouds and that's a pretty good accomplish ment when compared to some of the other launch ing attempts of recent months. Wonder if we might be able to get a Cape Canaveral, junior grade, established locally? WHAT ARE THEY? Our curiosity has gotten the best of us recently, so we are asking the help of our readers! In traveling over this section of the country, we have found literally hundreds of bright red and yellow ribbons dangling from power poles, fence posts, sage brush etc. Each one is attached to a little metal tag on which are numbers and letters. These decorations can be found all the way down Willow creek, across the Morgan-Arlington road, on highway 30, and many other county roads. We've asked a dozen people what it is all about, but nobody can give us a reasonable an swer. If some of our readers know, we'd apprec iate a letter for there must be many othrs who are as curious as are we. CALENDAR OF POLITICS AND TAXES Just as a reminder to those who are thinking about running for county, state or federal offices, you only have until March 7 to file there's always room for one more on whatever band wagon you want. Also, personal property tax payers should get their statements in to the county assessor before March 2 or pay a penalty. And, if you didn't pay your second quarter's property tax by last Friday, you should have It's now overdue!

A few, who had not participated In actual committee meetings, re alized the amount of work which has been done by the committees this winter. Everyone who work ed in this planning of the fut ure of our county should be con gratulated. Persons from outside the county who have attended a series of these conferences thought it the best one they had attended from the standpoint of recommendations presented and the amount of participation by people in attendance. Those of us who have followed this closely are proud to have been a part of it. The conferesce did not bring to an end the work of these com mittees. They will continue to function and with the help of everyone including organized croups and individuals will bring about those things which will omprove our county. Many of the recommendations made at the conference are now in the process of action. Several of these were pointed out during the conference including such programs as the driver training program, accel erated coyote control program investigation of the possibility of establishing a port commission and others. Advocates of a county museum were happy to have a report from Bob Abrams that an anonymous person was provid ing funds to get this under way and that Dona Barnett and Trina Parker.

Call 6-9294 or see at John Lane's Apartment No. 2 Candidate Filing Slow There was a big slack last week in candidate filings at the state elections bureau. Long time employees at the Capitol say they never saw it as slow at this time of an election year. After Valentines Day there are only fifteen state office days on which candidates can file if they expect their names and slogans to appear on the primary election ballot. This apathy, or appre hension, does not mean there might be uncontested offices on the last day. The racket will be poor this year for political gypsies who scan the nominating lists in the state elections bureau hoping to find a last minute vcancy for an office everyone has overlooked. Ever since the present primary law was enacted in 1905, to suc ceed the corupt old system, these scrutineers have been more or less active.
