A most Interesting panel dis cussion was held on the sub ject. "How Can We Gain a Better Understanding between the Farmer, the Consumer and the General Public?" Panel mem bers were Bob Jepsen, the farm er; Nels Anderson, the con sumer; and Mike Whitesmith, the merchant, with Harold Beach as moderator. Some points that were brought out In the discussion were the following: (1) The farmer and the merchant In this area are es pecially fortunate to be able to be on a friendly personal basis in their dealings rather than a buyer and sleler "dog each dog" basis such as is found in most of the metropolitan areas; (2) The farmer and the merchant needs to present a better public j Image of himself; (3) Each must ' gain a better understanding of the problems of the other by be- j Ing better Informed. (4) The con sumer does not feel any emnity toward the farmer for the "high cost of living" but rather is con cerned with the costs involved In the fancy packaging, process ing, and high pressure advertis ing; (5) The cost of living for food, clothing and shelter has not changed appreciably on a percentage basis. During the business meeting, Wayne McGowan, district mem bership chairman and his wife, of Pilot Rock spoke to the group on the many good things Farm Bureau has been able to do for the farmer. A discussion was al so held concerning the Increas ing infestation of bushy knap weed and other weeds in Mor row county.

Sewers would work. Pooled elec tricity from other utility com pa nus would supply power and lights. Many newer ideas of how to protect oneself and how to make things Useable after exposure to fallout were cited. Sheriff Bau man Mid he had pamphlets out lining tlieNe available for the public and they will also be pre sented at the training course. Bauman also jointed out that proerly constructed shelters are tax deductible up to $lft0 of true cash value, and will not Increase the value of the prop erty for tax purposes. Specifica tions to meet requirements for these tax benefits can be ob tained at the sheriff's office. A sheriffs posse Is now being organized In the county to serve In case of emergency. This group will be made up of 25 to 30 men In the north end of the county and the same in lone and Heppner areas. The posse could be used other than in civil de fense, such as searching for lost persons, the sheriff said. Further instruction on how to prepare for fallout is available through the sheriffs office or through Velma Glass, county health nurse. Both are willing to appear on request at meetings of farm groups or organizations to tell people what to do. N. C.
