Speaker 'Dispels
Myth' at Annual
Farm-City Dinner
(Continued from page 1)
journed upstairs. Gordon Pratt
led the singing, accompanied by
Mrs. Fred Gimbel.
Southworth pointed out in his
talk that "farming is a good way
to live," even though farm in
come has declined some 25 in
10 years.
"Nobody forces us to stay on
the farm," he declared, saying
that he was a "little impatient"
with the myth that the farmer
was working for nothing.
He suggested that farm and
city people should work together
to do "the sort of thing done
by the Palmers" in conservation.
"People in towns and cities
are just as concerned with soil
and water conservation as the
people on the farms," he said.
"It Is possible for free people to
get together and work on their
problems, although we often
wait for the government to do
it."
The speaker pointed out that
often "we become blinded by
small problems so that we can
mot see great blessings." He
termed the conservation program
a "blessing," and said that it
would have been fantastic to
conceive of the program, as car
ried on today, 50 years ago.
"Any idea that the land is
ours is only an illusion," he
said. "We will all go back to
the land as dust."
Southworth told how he used
to patrol his farm in an effort
to keep hunlers and fishermen
off the property.
"Then I decided that while I
was ornery and adamant, they
were getting ornery and adam
ant, and the decent person was
staving away. If you try to be
difficult, all you get is diffi
culty," he declared.
In agriculture throughout the
U. S. and especially in Oregon,
it is being discovered that there
is tremendous Income for the
farmer in recreation, he said,
and suggested that farmers
might be wise In being cooper
ative In the use of their lands,
laying down laws to those who
will use it.
In the third point that of sta
bility of markets and production
he suggested that it is im
portant to each farmer to have
"good healthy suppliers" of
goods, products, services and
credit.
"The only way to have it is
to support the local business
man," he said. "If we go else
where, we are doing ourselves
a disservice. Farmers ought not
to drive through town to go to
the city, if he can find goods
available In the town."
On the other hand, he pointed
out that business people should
realize that government farm
programs are established to pre
vent fluctuations.
"City people are not simply
paying for the farmer's prob-

No Uranium Strike;
Monitor Class Held
To the casual passer-by, it
may have appeared Friday to
be a uranium strike in the
compound of the Forest Ser
vice building in Heppner.
It was, in reality, a class in
radiological monitoring. This
class was sponsored by the
Forest Service, to give to its
personnel training in measur
ing the degree of intensity of
radioactive fallout in the event
of an atomic attack.
Tom Campbell, Umatilla
County Civil Defense chair
man, gave basic facts and the
opportunity to "probe," meas
ure and record the roentgens
(a unit of measure of rad
iation) present in the air.
Included in the group were
W. S. Miller, Robert Strand,
James Hilderbrand, C. R. Mc
Lean, Raymond Williamson,
Gladys Jones, David Haddock
and Betty Hamilton, all of the
Heppner district, U. S. Forest
Service, Herman Dill of the
Forest Supervisor's office in
Pendleton, Sheriff C. J. D. Bau
man of Morrow County Civil
Defense, Ralph Richards of the
Soil Conservation Service and
Assessor Oliver Creswick.
Mrs. Weatherford
Shows Improvement
Mrs. Bill (Lucile) Weatherford
is showing fine improvement
after her recent hospitalization
In Portland, her husband report
ed Wednesday. She was able to
be out of the Good Samaritan
hospital Friday and is now con
valescing in the Imperial hotel.
Tuesday she went for a short
walk outdoors.
The couple was grateful to
find that her condition was not
as serious as had been feared
and look forward to one of their
happiest Christmas seasons. It is
expected that Mrs. Weatherford
will be home about December 21
after undergoing some addition
al treatment and checkups, and
she will be able to resume teach
ing in the high school soon after
the holidays.
Mrs. Weatherford became ill
during the Thanksgiving holiday
and went to the hospital in Port
land on November 30 after being
hospitalized here. Her husband
has been with her much of the
time but is now at home.
Earl Dexter, Redmond, spent
the week-end with Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Blake.
Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Wolff were
in Portland Sunday and Monday,
returning home Monday even
ing, lem. It is in the best interests of
each to work together to solve
the problem ot fluctuations, ne
said.
Southworth said that never in
the history of mankind has the
farmer fared so well. "Wo arc
well off, well educated and have
never before been so efficient
and prosperous. It is not this
way throughout the world."

Growers Called (
To 2,4-D Meeting
Certain limitations on the use
of 2,4-D for weed control is in
evitable, arid the 1963 Legisla
ture is going to do something
about this, predicts N. C. Ander
son, Morrow County Agent. This
legislation will result from con
tinued complaints, some of
which were registered last week
in formal suits against Umatilla
and Morrow county growers by
Milton-Freewater horticulture
growers.
As a result of a "compromise"
meeting called by the Oregon
Wheat Growers League on Dec
ember 10, plans were laid for
spelling out definite restrictions
and uses of various forms by
this weed-killer. County wheat
grower groups are being asked
for their recommendations so
that a draft can be made which
might be acceptable to both
parties.
Morrow County ranchers are
urged to attend a meeting for
this purpose which will be held
at the Fair Annex building, Fair
grounds, Heppner, on Wednes
day, December 19, at 1:30 p. m.
Don McElligott, lone, chairman,
taxation and legislature commit
tee, Morrow County Wheatgrow
ers association, who is this
groups representative on the
2,4-D problem, urges that all
wheat growers attend and parti
cipate in drafting plans to pro
tect interests of local growers.

North End Fair
Subject of Meet
A meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday, December 19, at 1
p. m. in the office of Judge Oscar
Peterson in the Morrow county
courthouse to discuss the future
of the North Morrow County fair.
Representatives of the Army
Corps of Engineers will be pre
sent, together with members of
the fair board, and representa
tives from the northern part of
the county, others interested are
invited, the judge said.
The Engineers have made two
offers to the county on the North
End fair property that will be
inundated by the John Day dam
reservior. They have offered $28,
500 for the property and will also
give the county the salvage on
buildings, or they will replace
the buildings on a new location.
The fair board has recom
mended that the money be used
for improvement of the county
fairgrounds in Heppner, going
principally into an additional
building. The representati v e s
from the north end, however,
wish to have the fair continued
there.
This year the north end fair
was conducted as an agricultur
al exhibit, since it has been con
tended that the county could not
legally operate more than one
fair.
