Space Age Park Dream Nears Reality
(Reprinted from
OreRonian)
the Sunday
Oregon's dream of a space
aee industrial park at Board-
man was nearing reality last
week, at a cost of about $900,
000, a year after the target date
originally set for leasing the
100,000-acre site to the Boeing
Company.
State crews were busy pre
paring to move the Navy's bomb
ing range to its new location
about five miles east of its old
location, New roads must be
graded out of the sandy soil and
a new circular target area bull
dozed in the sagebrush. Reflec
tors which mark the target for
pilots bombing by radar are be
ing installed, Sam Mallicoat, di
rector of the Department of Plan
ning and Development, reported.
Four observation towers are
being moved from the West half
of the range and arranged in a
circle around the bullseye on a
three-mile radius for visual ob
servation of bomb strikes.
In addition, three corridors
must be marked out to desig
nate the approach zones required
by the Navy. Navy bombers from
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station
fly many of their practice mis
sions at low altitude. As they
approach the target, they hit the
deck, skimming low arjove me
ground through these approach
Padberg Scores
Five for Heppner
In State Meet
Lee Padberg of Lexington
Heppner High school's sopho
more miler and half-mller,
brought home five points from
the slate track meet A-2 division
nt- Csrvallis, held Friday and
Saturday. He was the only one
of the three Mustang entrants
to tally points, although both
Archie Ball and Kudie Howard
finished "just out of the money.
The sophomore athlete reset
both of his school marks in the
state meet, running the pre
liminaries in the half-mile at
2:02.9 und edipnine his record
of 2:03.5, and making the mile
distance In 4:30.3, topping his
previous best of 4:32.6.
Padberg finished third in the
half-mile preliminary and was
sixth in the finals, gaining one
point there. His time in the
finals was 2:04.1.
In the mile, he finished fourth,
good for four points. There were
no urel m naries in this event
All throe men who finished
uhead of him were seniors, but
Padberg has two years lett in
school.
Howard lust missed qualifying
in the lOO-yard dash when he
was nicked as fifth in the pre
liminary. Coach Don McCluie
felt that his runner shaded an
(ini)oneiit for fourth, but the run
ners were so close at the finish
that the judge, on the opposite
side of the track from Howard
could not see that the Heppner
man was slightly ahead because
his vision was blocked by inter
veniiiL' runners. Howard was
sixtli in the preliminary heat
in the 220.
Ball was fifth in the high
hurdle preliminary boat, just
missing the finals, loach Mc
Cluie said that less than two
foot separated the second and
fifth place finishers in this heat.
He was also fifth In the opening
heat of the low hurdles.

, corridors to skip or loft their
bombs Into the target,
The Department of Planning
and Development has acquired
easements from land owners to
permit low-level flights over
these approach zones. Each zone
is six nautical miles wide and
10 nautical miles long.
Once the Navy's bombing fa
cilities have been moved from
the West half of the Boardman
Bombing Range to the east half,
the final physical step toward
completion of the complex deal
will have been taken..
The Navy will then deed the
western half of the bombing
range to the state of Oregon, as
authorized by the special law
passed by Congress last Septem
ber. Oregon can then hand over
the 100,000-acre tract to Boeing
on an 80-vear lease at $60,000 a
yaar for use as a missile testing
site. Target date for actual trans
fer Is early July.
The Boeing Company signed
a lease agreement in January,
1961, expecting to move onto the
site by July, 1961. An initial
plan to trade state lands near
Wagontire for the whole Navy
Boardman range failed when
the Navy raised objections to the
Wagontire site.
The lease with Boeing includes
an easement to permit low-level
bombing by Navy bombers ap-

Touring Al Lamb
Now in Cameroun
A card from Mayor Al Lamb,
touring on a U. S. Department
of Commerce Trade Mission In
Central Africa, arrived this week
from luounde, Cameroun, near
the west coast of that country.
It was written May 18.
In his brief message to Mor
row county friends, he writes,
"Am having a good time and
am staying healthy so far. Visit-
d a chicken farm cooperative
about six miles out today. Have
mot the President of Cameroun
and nave noon treated very
good."
Lamb will be gone on the
Mission until mid-Juno.

proaching from the west. This
will not prevent use of land with
in the corridor by Boeing, pro
vided no high structures are
built there. The same is true of
grazing and farm land lying
within the other flight corridors
covered by easements. Owners
may continue to use this land,
provided they build no high
structures to interfere with bomb
runs.
Boeing has indicated it will
move onto the land the minute
the lease is signed by the state.
Boeing has already made sur
veys, mapped the area and made
soil tests and borings for wells.
The company's growing need
for the spacious range was em
phasized last week when the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration announced that
Boeing is one of four firms
awarded contracts to study
launch vehicles and space flight
systems for future flights.
Boeing will make preliminary
design studies for a solid pro
pellant rocket to boost a Nova
satellite to the moon and will
design a reusable ground launch
vehicle in the 50 to 100-ton or
bital payload class. These studies
look bevond the Saturn liquid-
fueled rocket, designed to shoot
a team of men to the moon.
Boeing has a contract to build
the first stage of the massive
Saturn space booster.
Pet Vaccination
Advised as Curb
Against Rabies
(I'DITOR'C NOTE This
animal health information is
presented as a public ser
vice by the Oregon Veteri
nary Medical Association.
Questions in this and other
animal health topics may be
addressed to the OVMA,
1500 S. W. Taylor St., Port
land, Ore.)
Rabies.!
It's a frightening word to pet
owners, to mothers of small
children and to the public at
large. But it needn't be a cause
for panic or alarm if Oregon
citizens prepare now against the
possible outbreak "of this disease
which can be fatal to animal
and human alike.
The Oregon Veterinary Med
ical Association is urging all
pet owners to participate in any
community vaccination clinics
which may be held during the
forthcoming months.
A recent clinic in Umatilla
countv. conducted by the Eastern
Oregon Veterinary Medical As
sociation and the Umatilla coun
ty board of health, was very well
accepted by residents of that
area.
Bv vaccinating their pets now,
Oregon citizens may help the
veterinary profession and health
officials to create a reservoir of
protected animals.
Here are some tacts whicn win
assist readers of this newspaper
in preventing rabies outbreaks in
this community:
1. Vaccination of pets is the
only effective protection against
rabies. Present vaccines give pets
a sufficient protection for at least
a year.
2. To be on the safe side, all
cases of bites from dogs or cats
should be reported to your coun
ty health ofticer who will in
struct you on the proper pro
cedures to follow.
3. Rabies can also be trans
mitted to humans or pots by the
bites of bats, foxes, skunks and
some other wild animals. Do not
attempt to handle any wild ani
mals especially those which ap
pear sick or irrational.
4. Pets which may be suspected
f having rabies should be con
fined to the owner's promises
or a veterinary nospnai anu
watched closely for any change
in physical or mental condition.
In rabies there is a tendency
toward moodiness, desire to stray
away from homo, perhaps a
liange of voice, general loss of
muscular power, slobbering, a
vacant stare or paralysis of the
lower jaw.
i. Be particularly alert this
spring and summer to your pot's
protection. Many animals will be
coming into the state as tourist
t rat tic increases duo to the in
flux of travelers bound for Un
seat tie World's Fair and the
possibilities for greater exposure
to the disease will bo corresond
ingly increased.

Successful Year
In Kindergarten
First year of kindergarten at
lone has come to a close and
those who worked hard to get
the pre-schoolers started can
look back on a very successful
year.
Mothers were instrumental in
organizing the group and acted
under the leadership of Mrs. Don
Linnell, president; Mrs. Bill
Rietmann, secretary-treasur e r;
and Mrs. Roland Bergstrom, pub
licity chairman.
The project was given some
financial impetus last summer
when the Linnell family brought
a Shetland pony for rides at the
Fourth of July celebration, and
the proceeds went to the kinder
garten. Two good donations also
helped get the program under
way. Otherwise, it is financed
by tuition.
The 12 youngsters who made
up the kindergarten this year
met in the basement of the lone
grade school with Mrs. Helen Mc
Cabe as teacher, attending from
9 to 11:30 each week day morn
ing. Reading, coloring and arith
metic comprised the study work
in the informal atmosphere with
attention to forming good school
habits and attitudes.
Each morning was made more
interesting with snack time and
playing games. Women of the
Cecil area contributed to the
kindergarten by presenting a
flunnelboard to each pupil.
With this start, the parents
are looking forward to another
good year ahead.
Deal with the faults of others,
as gently as with your own.

Fresh Berries Call For
Repeat on Jam Recipes
By ESTHER KIRMIS
Good supplies of California
strawberries are available and
prices are lower these days. More
strawberies, mostly fom Calif
ornia, are available in eastern
Oregon markets during May and
June than any other month.
Oregon-grown be r r i e s are in
season during June.
Every year I get a request for
the uncooked strawberry jam.
All you need is five minutes, a
crate of strawberries and a
freezer for fresh easy-to-make
strawberry jam. The ever pop
ular "uncooked jam" recipe is
asked for again by those who
don't want to stand over a hot
stove stirring jam and by those
who like the fresh berry flavor.
So, here it is again Uncooked
Strawberry Jam ingredients are
3 cups crushed berries, 5 cups
sugar, 1 package powdered pec
tin and 1 cup water.
Measure 3 cups prepared
berries into a large mixing bowl.
Add sugar, mix well, and let
stand for 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Dissolve the pec
tin in the water, bring to a boil,
and boil for 1 minute. Add pec
tin solution to the truit-and-
sugar mixture and stir for 2
minutes.
Ladle the jam into jelly
glasses or suitable freezer con
tainers, leaving M inch space
at the top. Cover the containers
:.nd let stand for 24 to 48 hours,
or until 1am has set. Then cover
jam with 18 incli layer of hot
paraffin. Makes about 9 six
ounce glasses. Store uncooked
jam in refrigerator or freezer.
Once the container is opened
Pb, 676-9152
jam should bo used within a
few days.
Rhubarb is also in season in
many a hack yard and prices are
quite reasonable on the market,

delicious dessert. Cut rhubarb in
chunks. Add about VA cups
sugar to a quart of diced rhubarb
Add a few grains of salt and
possibly a dasli of cinnamon or
nutmeg. Bake until tender in a
covered container. Serve hot or
chilled with a little cream or
vanilla ice cream.
And how about a rhubarb
meringue pie? Here's the recipe:
