Review Progress
At Annual Meet

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.

animously. They are E. II. (Tad)
Miller, Jr., Walter Jacobs and

spent mostly in southern Calif

daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Guttry of
Santa Barbara, and his mother,
who resides in Grass Valley,
Calif.
Mrs. Guttry accompanied them
on to Los Angeles where they
toured Disneyland and other
places of interest. The trip was
highlighted by attending the
taping of a "Truth or Conse
quences" television show.
They were well rewarded as
Mrs. Guttry was one of those
singled out to answer a question,
winning $20. The program was
shown on local television last
Friday and there were several
good views of the Hamiltons.
On the return trip they stopped

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.

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 money will be used In
decorating and improving the
living area of the homemaking
department in the new high
scnooi, she said.
An old davenport purchased
from the recent Civic League
rummage sale and a chair will
be covered with the girls making
sup covers. They will make a
braided rug for the floor and,
with assistance of future Farm
ers of America chapter, will
make two coffee tables. Drap
eries will be made, and other
improvements will be made to
contribute to the homelike at
mosphere. The grant was awarded after
the girls had prepared a budget
and made application for the
funds.
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.

Clowns Tio Stars
In Funball Game
The Morrow All-Stars fell vic
tim to the antics of the Harlem
Clowns Monday night by a score
of 61-57 in a basketball tilt that
saw some clowning and a
little serious ball playing.
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.
