Frank Weatherford. Represent tatlve of the 22nd district, told members of HeppnerMorrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday that he had talked to Dwight Phlpps, state forester, of the possibility of holding such a meeting in the area to bring out "all aspects of state forest fire fighting." Chamber mem bers agreed to back such a meet ing with U. S. Forest Service personnel asked to attend to ex plain their policies. The meeting is designed to see if the state and federal agencies can better coordinate meir me fighting activities In the public Interest. Orvllle Cutsforth, who first brought the subject up at a chamber meeting, said he knew a lack of cooperation existed but said he felt it was the result of policies set down by the agen cies themselves, and stressed that It was not the result of de cisions on the local level. Neither the state fire fighters nor the U. S. Forest Service personnel are permitted to fight fire on land under the Jurisdiction of the other, he contended. "This may be all right as far as policy goes," he said, "but it Is all wrong for the taxpayer.' When You Ski Arbucklc Mountain GET YOUR RENTAL BOOTS.

A program of constantly Im proving the 13.UM) acres of raru-e and pasture on Willow and Inn ton creek walershedN vthkh wo vldes feed for the IV D cow herd won Wllklnhon consideration for 11 "Cattleman of the Year.' A complete beef o juration commercial and registered Here ford herds, with fcvdlot to carry through at leant a part of the call crop to the finished product characterizes the oieratlon of Wright, as a contestant for 11 'Cattleman of the Year." The 9,420 acre operation is well man aged for the most efficient pro duction of grass and hay for his three hundred plus cow herd in eluding 100 head of registered Hereford cowa. The use of heifers from the registered cow herd as replace menta for the commercial cow operation characterizes the qua! Ity of Wright's Hereford cattle, Calfhood vaccinations for the prevention of Brucellosis, vaccl nation of feed lot cattle with red nose vaccine and following strict spray schedule for control of grubs and lice contributes to the santltallon program carried out on this ranch. A crossbreeding program start ed several years ago has sub stantially Increased the weaning weight of weaner calves which Elmer and Roger Palmer market each fall from their herd of 85 cows. The Palmers are first live stockmen to go to a three-way cross in a beef crossbreeding pro gram. With an original cross of Shorthorn on Hereford cows, re placement heifers have been kept which are now being crossed with Angus. This practice has contributed to the 1961 weaning weight of 430 pounds with one- half the calves Irom two year old heifers calving In April and May. This practice combined with brush cleaning and grass seed ing, water development and de ferred and rotation grazing has earned this operation a spot for consideration for 1961 "Cattle man of the Year."

They will continue at all schools In the county during January- I he program la sponsored Jointly by the Morrow County TB and Health association and the Morrow County Health de partment, according to Mrs. Vel ma Glaus, public health nurse. The tests will be administered to all student In grades 1. 7. and 12 In the Boardman and Irrigon schools. In Heponer, lone and Lexing ton students In grades 7 and 12 only will be tested since lo cal physicians had agreed to In clude the tuberculin skin tests In the pre school physical exam Inations for all first graders. The pitch test consists of an adhesive strip Impregnated with dried tuberculin being applied to the skin for 48 hours. The test Is "read" 4S hours after re moval of the natch. The ma Jorlty of those tested show no reaction at all, Mrs. i,iass said. Even if red sinits appear after the tape Is removed it does not mean that active tuberculosis is present; It simply Indicates that further examination by means of a chest X-rav and physical examination bv the doctor should be done.

Fallout Shelter Survey Under Way All bulldincs in the county which would reduce radiation by factor of 20 are being listed in a survey started at the court house Wednesday. The survey Is part of the nationwide search for buildings which can be used as fallout shelters "for as many people as possible In case of atomic attack. Oliver J. Domreis, engineer, is checking assessors cards and maps at the courthouse in search of location of such buildings. He said the type he was looking for was mainlv two story buildings with basements, not necesarily large. In fact, he Indicated that lareer buildings were less apt to provide adequate shelter. "A large building requires a greater weight to provide the same pro tection." he said, snelters are best when below ground, the en gineer stated and said that the protection was provinea oy tne mass of material between the Individual and the fallout. Both public and private bulld incs In the county are being considered. Second phase of the program will be a physical check of the buildings which this preliminary survey indicates would provide the required radiation reduction, and will be followed later by a third phase. Domreis represents Moffitt, Nichols and Taylor, a Portland firm of civil engineers who have a contract with the U. S. Army Corps of engineers to make the survey. The army engineers are administering the program for the office of civil defense. The preliminary survey is to be completed in 18 eastern Ore gon counties by February 10 and the physical cnecK oi Duuuings Is expected to ionow immeo- iately.
