We'd like to do something for you. BECKET EQUIPMENT CO. Heppner, Oregon Phone 676-9261 Christmas Tree Policy Revealed A regional forest policy of making a one dollar charge for all Christmas trees cut on Nat ional Forest lands has been an nounced by Wright T. Mallery, Umatilla Forest supervisor. Holiday cutting of young trees in the Pacific Northwest has increased so greatly in re cent years that some regulation has become necessary to protect young trees for future forests. This policy has been adopted bv all national forests in the states of Oregon and Washing ton so that all citizens may ob tain trees on an impartial basis. In order that proper refores tation may be assured, specific areas will be designated where Christmas trees will be cut. In formation concerning the loca tion of these areas will be sup plied from the district ranger's office when the permit is issued. Several forests have been using this method and charging for the trees during the past two years and report that it has worked very well. Permits for tree cutting and additional information are avail able to citizens of this area at the Heppner Ranger office lo cated above Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Community Plans Aid to Bothwells A miscellaneous shower will be held Monday, December 2, at 2 p.m. at the Lexington IOOF hall for Mr. and Mrs. Wade Both- well, who lost all: of their pos sessions in a fire which com pletely gutted their home in Lex ington last Tuesday morning.

Public Meeting On Boeing Lease Called for Friday (Continued from page 1) cussion on the lease and project I his was held Monday afternoon, Also attending were Rep. Smith, Creswick, Mayor Al Lamb, Clar ence Rosewall, Gar Swanson, Herman Winter, Dewey West, Walter Hayes, Joe Tatone, Belt and others. Rep. Bennett and Rep. Smith did most of the talking at the meeting and told the group that the document with Boeing was a "bad lease" and they went over it to explain the various points. They said that it left Morrow County unprotected on taxes and was lopsided in that it left all benefits accruing to Boeing. It was at this time that it was decided to call the meeting Fri day, and Heppner was set as the location because of the keen in terest all of Morrow county has in the matter. On Tuesday, Rep. Smith at a press conference in Portland that was given wide coverage on television, leveled a blast at the Boeing lease and said that the statement was issued jointly with Rep. Haight. 'We cannot support House Bills 1014 and 1020 and will vote against both of these bills in their present form when the Legislature reconvenes in Salem on December 2," the statement said. "We want to save Board- man for Oregon's tomorrow, not give it away for the sake of political expediency today." The statement pointed out that the bills ask the legislature to "freeze" Boardman's land on Morrow county's tax rolls for 77 years to come; to accept "as fair and equitable the fact that three times as much was paid for this land as its assessed value (around $6 per acre), while at the same time swallow ing the prediction that its value may rise to as much as $300 per acre when the new John Day dam is ready to provide irriga tion, according to the Morrow county assessor." The two declared that Boeing has been evasive about its pro posed use of the industrial site and cited legislative testimony to support this. "Are we against Boardman? Never," said the statement. "We are against buying an attractive paper package, which could con tain either an unexpected sur prise or hot air." They declared that there are other potential tenants for the site which was termed "one of the nation's last remaining in dustrial parks." "When all the cards are dealt, unmarked, we will play. Not un til that time, no matter what the pressures or misconceptions; no matter what the hopes and dreams which, as things seem to us now, would tragically re main hopes and dreams if we were to support this legislation and this unbusinesslike propo sition. "We will vote against Boeing now, so that soon we can vote for Boardman. On the other hand, Sen. Musa urged approval of the bills and said that there is only one way to go forward. Other proponents of complet ing negotiations with Boeing said that the matter has become a political "hassle" and charged that if those opposed felt this way they should have made their feelings known at a much earlier date. So far as the general public is concerned the upshot turns out to be a matter of sheer con fusion and bewilderment. The hope is that the meeting Friday will help clear the air. Two from Heppner To Attend Conclave Donald Majeske and the Rev. Kenneth Robinson will leave Fri day morning for Spokane, Wn, as delegates to the annual con vention of the North Pacific dis trict Luther League, an organi zation for high school youth within the church.

The sessions will be in Emmanuel church of Spo kane. One of the main speakers of the convention, which will con tinue through December 1, will be the Rev. David Brown, pres ident of the church's youth de partment, from Minneapo 1 i s, Minn.
