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

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

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

the book.

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

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.

meetings in Corvallis over the

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,

Holiday Season
Planning Occupies
Heppner Home Unit
Big business executives will
have nothing on members of the
Heppner Extension Unit this
year. 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.

A number of people from
Boardman and Irrigon attended
the annual A. C. Houghton PTA
Dime-a-Dip dinner held at the
cafetorium Friday evening, No

a big success. This event is one
of the chief means of raising
money for the PTA. During the
evening, music was provided by
