A recent national study show
ed that about 86,000 persons in

suit of the three major mnu-
enza epidemics since 1957. It

qh n fi, nr nneumonia deaths.
All the others were attributed
f nthor muse, but ac-
cording to the report they were
brought on or complicated by the
flu attack
This is the reason a family
physician quite often will rec
ommend flu shots only for cer
tain people, who in his opinion
are in a high risk category. They
might be suffering from heart
disease or any number of other
ailments, which could make an
attack of flu serious or even
dangerous.
This also helps explain why
health authorities frequently
will make the statement that
they are not so worried by flu
itself during an epidemic, but
they are very concerned about
the complications which flu may
produce in a person already
weakened from some chronic
ailment. Similarly, flu itself
might produce the weakening
which would leave a person open
to some more serious ailment he
never before had experienced.
Although any person might be
advised to obtain annual flu
shots, most physicians make
strong recommendations only in
the case of elderly persons, preg
nant women and people suffer
ing from heart disease, chronic
broncho-pulmonary illness such
as asthma or emphysema, or
some other ailments such as
diabetes, the health department
stated.
Although a few people car.not
receive these shots because of
allergy to eggs used in manu

Planning Council Starts Economic
Morrow county judge Oscar
Peterson this week prepared the
following article for the Gazette
Times explaining the Job the
recently formed Mid-Columbia
Planning Council is trying to do
and how its work can effect the
economy of this entire area.
By Judge Oscar Peterson
The Mid-Columbia Planning
Council has been organized re
cently embodying the counties
of Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam,
Sherman, Wasco, and Hood
River. Its purpose is to correlate
the economic factors in these six
counties by studies to be made
in a continuing long range plan
ning program designed to be a
guide to the future development
of the area.

an active role In the Oregon

Cutsforth. operator of a grain
and livestock ranch at Lexing
ton, said he was "one of the
hardest worker. In the Elsen
hrtuer campaign In Eastern Or
Con- iH'cause the Republican
presidential candidate "promised
us parity price, at tne market
Dlace."
But the Republican party and
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
kept Elsenhower "irom iummng
this promise, and I do not be
lieve that they will let Nixon
do so either, whatever nis plat
form may be.H Cutsforth stated
-Nixon has shunned Secretary
Benson, but he has not given
any Indication of shunning Ben
son's policies. Since the Ken-
nwiv.Johnson platform comes
closer to giving us the kind of
program the Oregon wneat
Leacue has worked for, I am
wholeheartedly supporting Ken
nedy and Johnson In this elec
tlon."
State Senator Loyd Key or
Milton-Freewater, state chair
man of the Farmers for Kennedy
committee, said he is "extremely
pleased" to have Cutsrorth work
ing with him in the campaign.
He said Cutsforth .will be Ken

record increase of 32 in populat

with the exception of Gilliam

that the population growth with

will be phenomenal. A regional

Sign-Up Slated
Thertf will b no signup this
f Alt of additional land or con
tracts under the Soil Bank con
xervatlon reserve. David MeLeod.
office manager of the county
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation office, said today
In response to Inquiries from
farmers regarding the slatus of
the program.
Mr MeLeod also said that pro
gram contracts which expire In
I960 or later are no longer eu
clble to be extended for an ad
dittonal period of year "Under
the Soil Bank act enacted in
May of 1956. "Mr MeLeod ex
plained, "the Secretary of Agri
culture was authorized to enter
Into conservation reserve con
tracts with producers during the
five-year period 1956 CO.
"The signup under the 1960
nrocram was held last fall, so
that farmers would know In ad
vance of the cropping season
whether their land would be ac
cepted Into the conservation re
serve. Since the authorization to
enter Into new contracts has not
been extended beyond 1960,
there will be no signup this fall.
"Farmers should understand,
however, that the existing con
tracts for 1960 and previous
years will remain In effect and
payments will continue to oe
made under them for the period
of the contracts and in accor
dance with contract terms. The
annual Department of Agricul
ture appropriation bills provide
money with which to meet obli
gations already on the books."
There are 47 conservation re
serve contracts In effect this
,-ear In Morrow county, Involving
a total acreage of 13,167.7 acres.
Contract periods range from 3 to
10 years, and annual rental pay
ments for 1960 amount to ap
proximately $160,000.00,
than 300,000 conservation reserve

ering a total acreage of approx
imately 28.6 million acres in 48
states. The average rental pay
ment is $11.85 per acre, and the
