The special population count was ordered by the lone City council after it felt that a re port of 314, declared two years ago by an outside source, was incorrect.

Moore Automatic Registers And Standard Register Forms of Ail Kinds At The GAZETTE-TIMES Ph. 676-9228 Memories Stirred By 1901 Clipping The stylo of society writing has changed a great deal since (lie publications of The Heppner Times in July, 19(11, as was verified iji a clipping from that year brought into the Gazette Times office recently. It hail to do with the "youthful birth day parly" of Ralph Justus, deceased in June, 11)58, but the memory of whom is still shared by many here. We quote from the clipping: "Master Ralph Justus, the bright little fellow who, with his pony, presents a familiar scene on the streets of Hepp ner daily, highly delighted a number of his young friends at the pleasant home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 1). O. Justus, in this cily last Mon day. This was Master Ralph's 9th birthday, and the party was given in celebration of the happy event. Little Ralph is a manly chap and a royal entertainer for one of his age. It would take a big scrap book to contain a story of all the fun they had and the fine lunch they enjoyed, so The Times will give only the names of the lads and lassies who were present: "Katie Neville, Charlotte Giger, Ina Jones, Nellie Gor don, Virgio Crawford, Janet Crawford, Ida Simons, Elma Griffith, Gladdys Potter, Syl via Shipley, Lizzie Lichenthal, Ralph Justus, .Alva Jones, Ross Glger, Earl Hallock, Ray Rodgors, Sid Hallock, Abie Blackmail, Raymond Thornton and Harold Colin."

Grangers Hear Zoning Benefits At Pomona Meet Morrow county's planning and zoning as set up by ordinance adopted by the county court March 7 is for the protection of county citizens and a definite step in the right direction, David Rowe of the Bureau of Municipal Research said at the meeting of Pomona Grange in Boardman Saturday. All areas where tentative developments are in the offing need to have a plan for security of orderly development, he said. It is possible that additional zones can be added and revisions made even now if it appears to be to the best interests of the economy and if approached through county panning commit tees and the county court. Rowe said that he is willing to come in and help with any such well recommended cranges. It appears that for the best interests of some of the people In the Boardman area that some smaller tracts than five acres could be permitted in the A-l or agricul tural zone. It could be designated by another name as non-agricultural, he pointed out. Mrs. Elaine Esselstyn, execu tive secretary of the Mid Columbia Planning council, spoke on the important work being done by Ebasco Services in making overall studies of the re sources in the six counties board ering the Columbia and mostly affected by the coming industrial park development. The shortage of industries com ing to Oregon and the need for our share of coming industrial developments was stressed. "We have been educating our young people to go into neigh boring states to find jobs." said Mrs. Esselstyn, who said that much can be done about this. The ground work is being well laid for a bright future ahead here, she said. At the Pomona session in the the morning it was pointed out by Ralph Richards of the Hepp ner Soil Conservation district that the surface has merely "been scratched" on park and recrea tional developments in the south ern part of Morrow county. At least nine other water impound ments and park developments equally feasible to the Bull Prairie development could be made whereby the entire region would benefit, Richards declared. Special emphasis was made on the upper Ditch Creek area and the North Jones Prairie area. Judge Oscar Peterson mentioned that much thought had been placed on the latter development and that through cooperation of the Morrow county court and the Kinzua Corporation in road development some work could be done in the North Jones Prairie area this year. Later in the day a resolution was adopted by the delegate body that interested parties get together and petition the board of directors of the Heppner Soil Conservation district for the formation of a unit under the Small Watersheds act where actions taken and developments made will be financed up to 50 of cost by the Federal government.
