Fire Protection
Discussion Set
A public round table or panel
discussion on fire fighting by
state and federal forest fire fight
lng agencies Is planned for
early In February as a result
of interest in the matter express
ed here.
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.'

A program of constantly Im

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."

IB Patch Tests
Given At Schools
Tuberculin patch texts were
given to 7th and 12th graders
at lU-ppner schools Monday. 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.
Tuberculin testing, along with
routine chest X-rays, are our best
methods of detecting tubercu
losis, a dl.-wa.se that can be cured
If treated early." Mrs. Glass said.
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.
