Every Thursday and Entered at as Second Class Matter. Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman WE COULDN'T get very excited Monday morning when we heard that Cornett Green, How ard Bryant. Dr, L. D. Tibbies and Marion Green were lost in the woods and that a search party was getting underway. If thev were neophytes to the woods around here, it might ' have given cause for concern, but a flea just doesn't get lost on a dog's back. These are the sort of men who go out hunting for others, and just don't get lost themselves. They just ran out of gas be cause of a leak in the fuel line and that caused them to walk a good many miles and spend a night in the woods. It's a funny thing. When you don't want to see other hunters crowd ing in, they are thick as can be. But when these fellows ran out of gas, there was 'nary a camper nor hunter nor sheep herder nor hermit to be found. All four were late to work Monday morning, but It really wasn't their fault. HO, HUM. The Boeing deal has flared into the limelight again, and it has the legislature in a tizzy the same legislature, by the way, that was going to stick strictly to the matter of provid ing for the state's fiscal needs and not allow anything else to be introduced. It has turned out just as Rep. Jack Smith said it would before the election. It may be recalled that he pointed out that If the legislature were called into special session, it would be open to everything, and despite agree ments to the contrary, matters other than those related to the state's financial needs are creep ing In such as the Board man matter. Howard Morgan, ex-public util ity commissioner, says that it is ridiculous to give Boeing such a lease for 77 years while the com pany has the privilege of can celling out at the end of any 10 year period. It is odd that these western Oregonians now hold our real estate to be so valuable and important when, at the time it was proposed to seek more representation In the legis lature, we were referred to as "the land of sagebrush and jack rabbits." THERE WAS a little repartee as sociated with the Boeing prop osition at the Chamber of Com merce meeting here Monday, too. Rupert Kennedy of the State Department of Planning and De velopment was present and re iterated that the Columbia River frontage has the "greatest future" of any in the Northwest. Oliver Creswiek of the Cham ber's Development commit t e e asked a rather pointed question that might have rubbed the fur of Mr. Kennedy a bit the wrong way. The two, of course, know each oilier well. In reply, Kennedy addressed the members and said (with tongue in check, we hope, "What do you do with dead undertakers around here?" Tliis caused a ripple of laugh ter, but Criswick still had the last word. "Well, at least they can create (piite a Mink," said lie. OUR M:W Gaette-Times hand, morosely meditating on the mess that the legislature finds itself in and contemplating more frustrating delays after reading the headlines on the ISoardman project, announced to a rather sympathetic audience in this of lice that he feels that doing like the lUuldhist monks going to the legislature and setting his clothes afire to see if that would snap them out of it and stop the haggling. MIKKAl.O Grange Home Ec club is priming a 130-page cook book that will go on sale soon as Christmas gifts. We have good reason to know this for we have l)K ii hnee-det p in cookbook around here all week. Sheets, pages and parts of the book are si altered all over the place, and eiirnntly we are in the process of assi milling and plastic bind ing the hook. One ef the tough things about it is that the crew just gets settled to work when they read some i.f those recipes and then want to stop and eat. There are sonic mighty delicious ones in the book.

SHERMAN Associate Publisher NATIONAL EDITORIAL Single Copy 10 Cents. Published the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, were only three flags flying in the downtown section of Hepp ner on Veteran's Day, and the flag wasn't even on display above the courthouse. He fig ures that we are really becom ing calloused and forgetful of what the veterans have meant to all. Now this man hadn't read our comments of last week on Veter an's Day, but he had very sim ilar ideas. He told of being very impressed with the patriotic ceremony and parade that he witnessed in lone and suggested that something get started right now for next year to see that Veteran's Day is observed with some fitting ceremony here. We 11 surely agree. If every thing is going to be closed and we declare it a holiday, we should show some respect for those whom we are commemor ating. Question is, who is going to take the lead? One naturally thinks of the American Legion, but as the fellow said, "Why should they be asked to do it? They are the ones who should be honored." Speak up, folks. LAST TIME members of the Heppner High school faculty played a basketball game with the Harlem Clowns, we made some remarks about some of the locals showing a "middle-aged spread" or some words to that effect. This apparently brought some chagrin or humiliation to some of those involved (we won't mention names). After watching the game Mon day night, we are happy to re port that the same local players, despite the passage of time, seem to have lost some of those pounds, particularly the one who was most cut by our remark last time. But some of the others hmmm. Well, they keep it pretty well spread anyway. And they still can play a good brand of basketball even if they do have to stop to huff and puff every few minutes.

Student Body At Blue Mountain Covers Wide Area (Second article on Blue Moun tain college, Pendleton, serving the Umatilla-Morrow county community college district). By WES SHERMAN With its student body coming from 38 different cities and towns, Blue Mountain Commun ity College has already found a widespread acceptance. Virt ually every community in the two counties that support the college is represented, together with 15 othe towns outside the district and two from out of state. Those from out of the district pay additional tuition, $95 per term as compared with $75 for resident students. One student comes from Salem, and the out of state students are from Battle Creek, Mich., and Dayton, Wn. Pendleton has the most stu dents in college this term with 151, followed by Hermiston with 37. Pilot Rock has 14, and Echo, Stanfield and Heppner are next in line with eight each. Among other cities represented are Baker, Arlington, Canyon City, Elgin, Hereford, Enterprise, John Day, La Grande, Long Creek, Mosier, Mt. Vernon, Ontario and Wallowa. Objectives of Blue Mountain college are to provide instruc tion for students who wish to complete the first two years ot a four-year college program at a community college, to provide instruction for those who wish to complete technical or business training for a job, and to give instruction for students who de sire a general education, consist ing of study in the humanities, sciences, psychology and other areas. Day program enrollment is di vided among the 273 students this term as follows: Lower di vision (college transfer), 102; business division, 48; technical division, 55; practical nursing, 21; forestry, 19; psychiatric aid, 17; apprenticeship, 11. An additional 91 are in the evening program with 47 in the business division (accounting, tax accounting, shorthand and typing), 20 in lower division (English composition and His tory of Western Civilization), It in parent-child relations, and 16 in Math 100 (given in lleim- iston). In the student body is one totally blind patient who is find ing' opportunity in this small college that probably would not be possible or feasible at a larger 4 year institution. Another student is permanently confined to a wheel chair following a serious auto accident. He, too, would find it difficult to attend a large institution which would require traveling from building to building on a campus. A study of the college indi cates that it is devoledlv seeking to seek out and serve the res' dents of the district which sup port it. Thus, it adapts itself to the needs of the area, rather than making it necessary for tlu4 area's residents fitting them selves to what the institution offers. This is true in the adult pro gram which is carried to the various areas of the district t.i meet the needs of the commun ities by ottering a continuous program of occupational train ing. general education, and community-centered education. While the college seeks to serve all students, it is setting academic standards comparable to i nose ot any institution oi i higher education. j Waller 11. tWally) Palmberq.j dean of the school of lib rail arts and sciences and director I (if admissions, points out thai any student who comes to th.' l college expecting "an easy time.'' j will have an abrupt awakening. ! V student's work is only rem , (G-T Photo) sidered satisfactory when he maintains an average of "C" (GPA 2.00) on both his auarter term and cumulative grade rec ord. Two students have dropped school so far this year because of inability to meet the aca demic requirements. in addition to high school graduates, Blue Mountain col lege also accepts mature non high school graduates who can profit by the work offered at a community college. Thus, the college can find a place for vnt ually anyone who is mature enough to take the training and has a real purpose. Special emphasis is placed on the following at the college: The ability to speak and write correctly and with clarity of ex pression; good physical and mental habits; recognition of the responsibilities of group living in terms of the family, the com munity, the nation, and the world; responsible citizenship and appreciation of the demo cratic way of life; specific edu cation leading toward a pro fessional or technical career; the basic skills and attitudes nec essary for earning a desirable living; developing sound ethical, moral and social values; devel oping the student's abilities in the areas best suited to his par ticular talents; utilizing the tools and techniques of effec tive study; and developing an appetite for learning which wiil enrich the student's mode of life. Scheduling of two unrelated meetings in Corvallis over the week-end worked out fine for Mr. and Mrs. Art Vance of Hepp ner. While he attended the Horse men's Shortcourse at Oregon State University, Mrs. Vance at tended the Educational Secre taries' conference at Corvallis High school. They were there Saturday and Sunday.

HUMPHREYS REXALL Heppner 1' Young Marrieds' Enjoy Workshop In Dressmaking (Picture on page three) "One of the best things that happened to Morrow county," says Esther Kirmis, Morrow county extension agent, "Was the day Donna came here to live!" She's referring to Mrs. Rol and (Donna) Bergstrom, lone, who has taken 15 "Young Mar rieds" through a basic dress making I sewing course this Oc tober and November at Hepp ner. "She's a natural when it comes to teaching sewing," comments the agent. She is always attrac tively dressed, and took home economics at Pacific Universi ty, Forest Grove, and above all, she loves to teach it! The "Young Marrieds" is a loosely-knit group of about 150 women in Morrow county that are held together by a monthly newsletter put out by the exten sion service of the county, ex plains Miss Kirmis. The Morrow County Advisory committee of home economics and the agent inaugurated this new idea in January, 1963, as a way of bring ing Oregon State University in formation to these young women. We realize that their time s filled with their husbands, small children, house work, and their own-type of recreation and that they are not interested in at tending regularly the extension unit meetings that are held each month throughout the county, remarks the extension worker. Information comes to the coun ty agent's office from Oregon State University, C o r v a 1 1 i s, through the home economists specialist in Family Life, Home Management, Family Finance, Foods and Nutrition, Clothing and Recreation, notes the agent. We feel that the information brought to us by these special ists is very interesting and vital to everyone involved in family living. County committee women Mrs. Welson Witherrite, Echo; Mrs. James Pettyjohn, lone; Mrs. John Graves, Heppner; Mrs. Joe Wright, Heppner; Mrs. Paul Slaughter, Irrigon; and Mrs, Walter Hayes, Boardman, listed all the "Young Marrieds" in their communities and that's how we get our list, notes Miss Kirmis. First results of this letter was interest in a basic dressmaking workshop, continues the agent. Several expressed the idea and we went to Donna with our re quest. At their weekly meetings in the Heppner Fair Annex they all sewed a shirtwaist type dress, comments Mrs. Bergstrom. This type of dress gave them exper ience in sewing darts, putting in a zipper, collar, setting in sleeves, putting in a hem, and how to make a belt, "When they completed their first dress," notes Donna, "I sug gested that they sew another one like it right away so they would remember the prin c i p 1 e s I taught them. Some are sewing dresses for their little girls that are of the same style." Interest is high, comments the extension worker, and after Christmas the lone sewing pro ject leader wlil take them through better dress techniques. Those attending include Mrs. R. G. Watkins, Mrs. Jerry Do herty, Mrs. William Healy, Mrs. Alice McCabe, Mrs. Joe Wright, Jean Stanley, Sandra Harshman, Mrs. Creston Robinson, Mrs. Marcel Jones, Mrs. Paul Warren, Mrs. Rachel Harnett, and Mrs. Douglas Gribble all of Heppner; Mrs. Lillian Boyce, Mrs. Jim West, and Mrs. Carol Miller of lone.

At their meeting Novem ber 12, in the 4-H Annex build ing, Mrs. Riley Munkers and Mrs. Creston Robinson, project leaders, taught members the five-step process in decision making used in industry. Homemaking is an executive job, they said, and Mother has many decisions to make. This program, entitled, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," challenged families to make best use of money, time, energy, and skills, especially during the busy holiday season. After the project lesson the 13 ladies present enjoyed a pot luck dinner. In conjunction with the Hepp ner Extension Unit, Mrs. Ray Drake offers the following recipe for a tasteful, inexpensive, and easy to make dessert: Lemon Mystery Pudding 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons flour Grated rind and juice of 1 (one) lemon 2 eggs (separated) cup milk 2 tablespoons melted butter Vi teaspoon salt Beat egg yolks, lemon juice, milk and add dry ingredients, fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into loaf pan or 8 in. by 10 in. pan, set in water, bake at 350 deg. for 30 min. Test like custard. Recipe may be doubled. Irrigon Lions Give Unique Hobo Party IRRIGON The Irrigon Lions club held a "Hobo" supper at the Charles Early residence No vember 9, with the money raised going into the Christmas fund Prizes for the best-dressed lady and gentleman hobo went to Mrs. Pete Eves and Charles Early. The largest Hobo Jungles in America would have been proud to have sponsored this fashionable lot. Each couple brought three vegetables, which were tossed into a large kettle of simmering meat, and the re sult was a tasty mulligan stew. Adding to the uniqueness of the meal were the tin cans in which the stew was served. Games and dancing preceded the dinner and provided an enjoyable evening. Those in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. LaVern Christiansen, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hobbs, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Eves, Mr. and Mrs. John Henner, Mr. and Mrs. Leon LeBlanc, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Huwe, Mr. and Mrs. Ern est Jorgensen, Mr. and Mrs. How ard Pulfrey, Steve bmith and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Early.
