HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, November 21, 1963 Grain Growers Review Progress At Annual Meet (Continued from page 1) be loyal to them and work for them In his talk as speaker of me evening. "Educated and well-informed directors are among our most Important assets," he said. He pointed out that North Pa cific's profit last year was only $14,000 but he is hopeful that it will be able to return a good dividend next year. The lack of a high profit, however,-was dis counted because the first obli gation is to handle the grain for the growers. North Pacific's goal is to market 50 of the grain of its growers, Tanke said. It is now handling between 30 to 35 mil lion bushels. The cooperative's new elevator at Kalama, Wn is "operating beautifully" and is a great source of pride, he said. Grain growers must be alert to change and face up to many questions coming up in the year ahead, concerning the wheat pro gram, sales abroad including Russia, and whether there is to be less government restriction and more on the road to free markets, Tanke said. Future for the Northwest in wheat appears bright, he de clared. The geographical loca tion with the market to the orient "at our back door" is a considerable advantage. At the same time the Northwest is cap able of producing top quality wheat. Grain cooperatives, work ing together, can be effective, he said. Tanke showed colored slides of a recent trip to the orient in the interests of wheat marketing, including shots of Japan, India, Thailand, Pakistan and the Phil ippines. They showed work be ing done to promote wheat In those countries. Three directors of the Morrow Grain Growers were reelected un animously. They are E. II. (Tad) Miller, Jr., Walter Jacobs and Elmer Palmer, all for three-year terms. Associate directors elected for one-year terms are Ray Lun dell, Larry Lindsay, Leo Ash beck, Gone Majeske, Al Fetsch, Archie Bechdolt and Charles Do herty.

Harold Beach, Hormiston, was unanimously re-elected State President of Oregon Farm Bur eau Federation at the 3-day con vention at the Marion Hotel in Salem last week. Gene Cutsforth Lexington, who has served as regional director for the bureau for several years, was also re elected by unanimous vote. During business sessions much discussion was centered on the national farm program, with delegates indicating that they believe farm programs, with ref erence to wheat and feed grains, should be changed. They feel the present supply and export situation oners the farmer an excellent opportunity to make an orderly transition from Gov ernment control. They also voiced opposition to grazing on diverted acres. "We believe that compensatory payments pose a real trap for farmers. They would make the farmers directly dependent upon tne teaeral government for a large portion of his income. We are opposed to compensatory payments for wheat. The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation endorses the princi ples of the Quie-Dole bill, which are as follows: "First. It would be voluntary. Price support and diversion pay ments would be available only to those who retire acreage from production. "Second. It would require land retirement and conservation as a condition of eligibility for pro gram benifits. A minimum 20 would be required with an opt ional and additional 30 reduc tion allowed. "Third. It would use only payment-in-kind for making divers ion payments. The secretary could, however, advance the pro ducer cash in anticipation of the sale of grain, but there would be no direct payments, as provided under the 1963 feed grain pro gram. "Fourth. It would he based on a market economy. The CCC re lease price for surplus grain in inventory could not be less than 105 of the current support price, plus reasonable carrying charges. When the supply is back to a 'normal supply', this release price would be 115 of the current support price, plus reasonable carrying charges, and CCC would be required to make equivalent market purchases for grain which has been sold as being 'out of condition'." The convention opened with the traditional vesper service at the Salem Presbyterian church wun Kev. John K. Stewart giv ing the sermon. The Women's Regional Council, under the leadership of Mrs. Grant Hen derson, closed the vesper service with a candlelighting ceremony and the Collect, sung by Sandra Beach, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Beach. Main speakers for the con vention were nationally known personalities who added much to the enrichment of the con vention. Guest speaker at the Tuesday night banquet was Dr. Ernest Wilkinson, president of Brigham Young University. Walt er Cousins, Jr., assistant to the publisher of McCall's maeazine spoke at the Farm Bureau Wo men's luncheon on Tuesday. An other dynamic speaker was Bob McLain. past president of Amer ican Farm Bureau Young People's committee. Voting delegates went on rec ord as recommending a sales tax as a property tax offset. Also. it was recommended that the basic school support fund not be dropped below $120 per pupil with a cigarette tax added to keep the $120 basic school sup port:. Those attending the eonvpn. tion from Morrow county were Mr. and Mrs. Norman Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Lindsay, Her man Bletell, Mrs. Jack Barak and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Beach.

The tax money is for 34.4 miles of pipeline, meter stations, mic rowave communication stations and related installations with in the county, PGT Area Sup erintendent C. W. Bond said.

Heppner Home Ec Gets $100 Grant Home economics department of Heppner High school has been approved for a $100 grant from the Sears-Roebuck Foundation, according to information receiv ed by Mrs. Elmer (Grace) Schmidt, instructor.

The Blue Mountain Commun ity College board covered a lengthy agenda of some 22 items in a two and one-half hour sess ion at the office of College Pres ident Wallace McCrae on Tues day nteht, November 12. Considerable discussion cen tered on possible budeet cuts and President McCrae expressed tne tnougnt that a four to five per cent cut might be made in programs other than vocational technical, where federal funds are provided. College official Robert Hawke noted that in event there are cutbacks in the budget, these would possibly be in teachers salaries in evening classes; in instructional travel and new equipment. McCrae said it was a sad com mentary that new equipment might be allocated to the col lege without buildings in which to locate such equipment for in structional purposes. In his report on the availabil ity of both federal and state funds, McCrae noted that a con certed effort must be made bv the community colleges in Ore gon, as well as here, to obtain such funds. He expressed the feeling that if federal monies are allocated to Oregon, Blue Mountain Community College would get a fair share. The board unanimously ap proved consideration of filing a housing and home finance agen cy application for building funds. A report by Dr. Walter Palm berg, dean of the college trans fer program, covered curriculum proposals and enrollment proiec tions for winter term. He also explained the cooperative edu cational counseling and pre testing program. Board chairman Ralph Mc Ewen commended the college administration on their plan of counseling up for students in maintaining quality education and still not be excluding any student from the college.

The Clowns jumped to an early lead in the contest as they harassed the local team and brought a rise from the home rooters. Their start provided the pattern for the evening and the home folks and team had to be content with being entertained. Although the Harlem five seemed to breeze to the victory, it appeared that at times they had to play some serious bail to stay ahead of the local maple crew. One of these times was in the initial stages of the third stanza when Heppnerite Clint Agee added his 6' 7" frame to the Heppner effort. His timely defensive work made a few of the clowns eat leather. At times the Harlem ball handling effort seemed a bit sloppy as the ball was bobbled and fumbled away. Playing for the home team were Don McClure, Bob Canton wine, Clint Agee, Dick Strait, Pete Glennie, Harley Sager and Jerry Jonasson. u WIN YOUR RACE Far Button Supremacy BfAdnrtUng Christmas seals will soon go into the mail to homes in Mor row county, starting the 57th annual Christmas seal campaign.
