Among those In this area who
have relatives in southern Texas
where the gulf storms and hurri
cane "Carla" have been strik
ing with tragic force, are Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Hastings of Heppner.
Their daughter and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Henry (form
erly Clarice Hastings), now make
their home in Beeville, Texas,
near Corpus Chrlstl. Mrs. Henry
called her parents by long dis
tance phone Sept. 11 to assure
them that they had not been
in serious danger, although a
letter which arrived two days
later told of their preparation
for the worst. Excerpts from the
letter are as follows:
"I suppose you have been get
ting reports on hurricane "Carla."
"At 8:30 last night (Sept. 10)
we started getting winds in Bee
ville at 50 to 60 miles an hour;
at 10:00 p. m. the rain started
and It has been raining 17 hours
straight.
"We have blankets nailed up
to all our windows (in case of
glass breakage) and water in
every Jar and pan Just in case
we are without water. I have the
washing machine full of water
and the bath tub is full.
"However, we are in the safest
place we can get. We are 60
miles from Matagona Beach
where the eye of the storm is
hitting. We haven't had much
sleep in the past 48 hours last
night we wero up every two
hours to get weather reports
Hurricane Carla Is the worst
storm that has ever hit the gulf
coast. There are 400,000 people
that have left their homes in
Texas. The winds In the eye of
this storm are 150 to 175 m.p.h.,
the highest the winds were In
hurricane Audrey that hit Cam
eron in '57 were 105 m.p.h.
Do you remember the pier
we went oat on to watch them
fish, the night w went to Padre
Island? That pier has completely
washed away. Remember the
evening we rode down Ocean
Drive In Corpus, where we saw
all the beautiful homes? That
street is all washed out and Its
hanging over the water."
The Henrys have one small
son, Hank. Mr. Henry Is employ
ed as assistant manager for the
Great Western Finance Co. in
Beeville.

Farm Bureau
Program Features
Panel Speaker
The Morrow County Farm
Bureau met for Its first fall meet
ing at the Lexington Grange
hall Tuesday evening, Septem
ber 26, beginning with a pot
luck dinner at 6:30.
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. Orville Cutsforth
was appointed to look into this
matter and to see what could

to it. but there is no expectation
of anyone having to remain in a
shelter for over 72 hours U-fore
they could come out for short
intervals City wa'er is covered
and would be safe, as would all
rural wells which are covered.
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.
