lone Census
Count Hits 365
Official census report fur the
town of lone, completed last
week by census taker Mrs,
Gladys Drake, shows an all
time hit,'h count of 3(if residents
within the city limits, according
to Mayor Charles O Connor.
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. It is felt that new
families moving In, teachers
with larger families in the com
rnunity and the fact that sev
eral families were not contacted
In the earlier census, have at
trlbuted to the 51 count in
crease.
To be eligible for its true allot
ment of funds for street and
other city Improvements, an up
to-date census was felt neces
sary by the city officials.

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,

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.
An excellent luncheon was
served at noon with the Green
field Grange as host to the 40
some members and guests.
