Tuesday! high at the Heppner weather station wai 93. and when the reading was taken at about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning the thermometer again said 93 and was still going up arid wa expected to hit ij to 97 by mid afternoon. Several un official thermometers in the downtown section got up well over the century' mark before noon. Even at that, Heppner was comparatively cool Tuesday com pared to Boardman and some other towns along the Columbia. Boardman and Hermiston both recorded an even 100 Tuesday, seven degrees hotter than here. The first real heat wave of the summer got harvesting under way In a hurry In the lower sec tions of the county, and It was not felt that even in the higher areas there would be much dam age to wheat which mostly is pretty well advanced. Some shrinking could be caused though In the highest fields close to the mountains where some of the grain is still quite green. The weatherman didn't put out much hope for Immediate relief, though a gradual cooling trend was forecast.

The executive group consisting of representatives from Morrow, Umatilla, Gilliam, bherman, Wasco end Hood River counties, voted to include in the steering committee, one member from each of the port commissions In the effected counties. This would make an 11 man board, as Sher man county has no port com mission. The commission hopes to aid in the nlannlng and development of the Industrial park and re lated area around the Boardman Bombing Range where it is ex pected that a large missile man ufacturing firm may establish a plant in the near future. A tentative agreement and financing plan was discussed and both Umatilla and Morrow counties indicated that they had budgeted $150 for such a pur pose. The various port commis sions also have been approached t0 put up a like amount. Morrow county judge Oscar Peterson, chairman of the exec utive committee, said Wednes day that he will call another meeting of the group, including the port commission represen tatives later this month after those in attendance at the Tues day meeting had had the oppor tunity to return to their own courts with the plan. It had been suggested at past meetings, that if the commission can get organized and obtain Its original financing, then it will be in a position to obtain federal funds to assist in the planning work that it hopes to accomplish. 1 j , :.. r.

Rattler Moves in On Ranch Home Th Piovd Joneses on Rhea creek have always thought quite a little of their dog Maggie, dui she's a first class member of the family today. Tuesdav night her barking brought the family outside to find that she had cornereu a email rattlesnake on the kitchen doorstep. It was right where it would have been stepped on by anyone coming out the door. Inasmuch as the snake was a small one. the Joneses are now wondering where the rest of the rattler family is.

The Vaughn Co bid was the lowest of four submitted but the council members spent over one and one-half hours trying to de termlne whether to accept the low bid or one entered by Emco, Inc of Heppner for a John Deere outfit which was $1,000 higher than the Vaughn bid of $3600. Council members expressed a de sire to do business with local firms if possible, but by majority vote decided on the Pendleton firm's equipment as being In the best interests of the taxpayers. The council also awarded Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company a contract to supply lightweight building tile for the new fire hall. It was decided to purchase other needed materials from Bar ratt Sales Co, another bidder on the building, and from Tum-A-Lum as needed. No overall con tract was awarded for construc tion of the one story 31 by 66 foot building, only major mat erials. The construction will be hired on a day to day basis with members of the city crew and fire department members assis ting whenever possible. Work is expected to start on tre building within a short time as the city's new rural fire truck will be delivered within 30 days and it cannot be housed in the present fire hall which is full. In other business the council adopted the 1960-61 budget and passed a resolution annexing the Barratt Park addition to the city. The group also approved a re quest for the acceptance of a new niatted addition to the city which is being prepared by Earl Ayers. It includes 5 large lots located Just below the north end of the Heppner Masonic cemetery.

Most of the allot ment differ only slightly from 1900-crop allotments, since the national acreage allotment re mains at the minimum 53 mil lion acres which has been in effect for the past 6 years. The farm allotments are based pri marily on past wheat production history. The chairman points out that all nrowers who will produce more than 15 acres of wheat as grain In 1961 will be eligible to cast ballots In the July 21 referendum on marketing quotas for the 1961 wheat crop, (..row ers who will have smaller acre ages and those who are taking part In the feed wheat program are not eligible to cast ballots. since the wheat from sucli farms would not be subject to market Ing quota penalties. "The referendum will decide Important questions for wneai producers," Mr Jones said, "and the outcome, naturally, will rep resent the will of those growers who take the trouble to cast their ballots. "If at least two-thirds of the growers who vote approve the quotas, then they will be in ef fect for the 1961 wheat crop, marketing penalties will apply to the 'excess' wheat of growers who do not comply with their farm allotments, and price sup port will be available at not less than 75 percent of parity the exact level to be announced soon. "If more than one-third of the voters oppose the quotas, there will be no quotas or pen alties for the 1961 wheat crop, and price support will be avail able at 50 percent of parity, as directed by law. Allotments will remain In effect as a condition of price-support eligibility. "Growers who like to make their own decisions should re member that date Thursday, July 21 and be sure to register their opinions by voting at the local polling place," he conclud ed.

Several Fires Flare in Foresls Oyer Weekend Several fires in scattered parts of the Umatilla National Forest kept Forest Service, state ana logging crews busy during the past week, but none caused any major damage. The largest fire of the season started about noon last Friday In the Cupper canyon area about eight miles north of Monument and burned over about 100 acres of grass and small timber before being controlled.
