Training Day Held For 4-H Members Blue Mountain 411 Knitting club members were among the 65 club members who were shown how to make homemade games at the 4 II Training Day in the multipurpose room at the Heppner Grade school December 7, starting at 9 a.m. This meeting was also a spec ial training day for all 4-H club officers and news reports in Mor row county. These groups were taught by 4-H County Agents Esther Kirmis and Joe Hay, and by Mrs, Louis Carlson and Mrs. Roland Birgstrom. Robin Nyman, reporter Wheat Farmers Talk of Dilemma The American wheat farmer is still faced with a dilemma and must continue to restrict his pro duction and depend partly on government assistance to obtain a fair price for his wheat. The statement was made by Ken Kendrick, executive vice president of the National Assoc iation of Wheat Growers, who spoke in Portland at the annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League. Kendrick, who is also a Texas wheat farmer, told the group the main problem of the American wheat farmer is his amazing ability to continually produce more wheat than the market will take. Discussing the May 21 wheat referendum, Kendrick said he does not believe the 52 "no" vote means that wheat farmers want to do away with all govern ment wheat programs. Kendrick said, "questionnaires . . . have indicated that 75-80 of wheat growers feel we must have some kind of a wheat program . . . they feel that some kind of a voluntary program for wheat is definitely needed and can be made to work." Kendrick urged the 11 state wheat organizations to recom mend a wheat program at their conventions in the next few weeks, and to try to agree on one program at the national con vention of the National Assoc iation of Wheat Growers in Am arillo, Texas, January 7-10. Ken drick told the audience that he sees the over-balance of urban representation in Congress as the biggest obstacle to a new wheat bill. He said, "Many of them (city Congressmen) interpreted the 'no' vole as the wheat fanner saying, 'I want nothing more to do with government programs.' "If we can present a united front on a voluntary wheat pro gram that wheat growers favor," continued Kendrick, "I fed we still have a good chance to get new wheat legislation next spring. This will take a great deal of work, but it can be done." He further told the group that he doubts if a new program, if adopted, would equal the de feated certificate plan's income opportunities. The national wheat executive discussed the sale of wheat to Russia, urging the state groups to take a position on the subject at their conventions. He said the facts which have come to light as a result of the sale proposal point up the fact that, with 45 of her population engaged in ag riculture, the Soviets still cannot supply their food needs, while the U. S. has a problem of agri cuture abundance with only 8 of our population on the farm. He said the average farm fam ily income in the U. S. is almost six times as much as in the Soviet Union.

Ford has chosen the most rugged testing program cars have ever faced . . . full-scale open competi tion on the rally and racing circuits of the world. This is the dramatic way to show that Fords have changed . . . and the sure way to be certain they keep on changing. Changed? Just look at the record: STOCK CAR RACING: 2-to-l margin for Ford Ford is king of NASCAR com petition and Ford Motor Com pany has the NASCAR Achievement Award to prove it. In the '63 season, special Ford entries won every single race of 500 miles or longer, scored nearly twice as many points as any other make. 500-mile races are the ulti mate test of inherent dura bility and dependability. In two other major stock car racing associations I ml A ana mako, Ford drivers have wra up the 1963 championships. SPORTS CAR ROAD RACING: Ford V-8 power is the new king Here the Cobra with its spe cial Fairlane engine emerged as the overwhelming leader in one short year. Cobra won the coveted Manufacturer's Trophy in SCCA Class A Pro duction competition by so wide a margin no other cars U.S. or foreign were even in sight And in the two major tests this fall, the taguna Seca and Riverside races, the new King Cobras dusted off the top "unlimited" cars from all over the world. RALLY COMPETITION: Manufacturer's Championship Products of Ford Motor Company and its world-wide affiliates won the 1963 Manu facturer's World Rally Cham pionship. Ford's rally year began when two specially equipped Falcon V-8's startled the automotive world in the brutal 2500-mile Monte Carlo Rallye. Other special Falcon V-8's triumphed in Holland's famed Tulip Rally, and ran away with the Manufacturer's Team Prize in the 4000-mile Trans-Canada Rally. INDIANAPOLIS: Ford ends an era Advanced Ford engineering smashed precedent in the classic Indianapolis "500." The first time out. a light alloy version of the Fairlane V-8 design in a totus chassis finished second. And the next time, in the Milwaukee "200" it ended the reign of the tra ditional "Indy" racing car by leading every foot of the way from start to finish. PERFORMANCE & ECONOMY: New laurels for Ford The Mobil Economy Run underscored Falcon's years long reputation for thrift a Falcon scored first in Class B (medium-engined compacts). And the Pure Oil Performance Trials brought laurels to the big Fords, which walked off with overall wins in Classes I and II for total performance (economy, acceleration and braking). DDed all over the world. I irans-Canada Rally. I I kVx . ys,-" 1 1 Pgf $51 'C SSAJ S 1964 Result: TOTAL PERFORMANCE INSPIRES THE TOUGHEST, SMARTEST CARS FORD EVER BUILT! Fords have changed and that's the real reason behind Ford's racing successes. We're now making the longest lasting, best han dling cars in our history. The things we've learned from the specially equipped cars we enter in open competition have helped make them that way. The inherent qualities that make the vic torious racing car road-holding, braking, durability, precision control, resistance to vibration also make a car safer, stronger, and smoother for highway use. But prove it to yourself. Take the wheel of any new Ford. Five minutes on the road will show you the kind of total performance no one else can match. ' TRY TOTAL PERFORMANCE FOR A CHANGE!
