Nine Awarded Prizes
In Lighting Contest
Nine prizes were awarded by
out-of-town judges Sunday in
Heppner's annual Chris t m a s
lighting and decoration contest,
sponsored by the Heppner-Mor-row
County Chamber of Com
merce. First in the residential outdoor
division was the Christian
church parsonage, the Rev. and
Mrs. Charles Knox, 275 Gale
Street. Second in this division
was the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Gene Pierce, 485 Gale Street, and
third were Diane and Dennis
Warren who decorated the home
of their parents on Soulih Main
(Back of Fulleton's Chevrolet).
For the first time this year, a
fourth place was added in the
outdoor and indoor residential
divisions. Winning fourth in the
outdoor competition was the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lov
gren, 260 May Street. Prizes were
$10, $7.50, $5, and $2.50.
In indoor residential, the win
dow of the L. E. Dick home, 2fi0
N. Gilmore, was judged best,
That in the Lutheran parsonage,
the Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Rob
inson, 676--Alfalfa, was second,
and at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Marshall Lovgren, 240 S. Court,
was tihird. Fourth was Erna Win
chester, North Main. In this div
ision prizes also were $10, $7.50,
$5 and $2.50, although they were
publicized as being $7.50, $5 and
$2.50 for three places.
Because of the large number
of entries in the residential div
isions and the fact that only one
commercial window was entered,
the prize money for the residen
tial entries was increased' and
the fourth places added.
Winner in the commercial sec
tion was the beautiful entry of
Lois' Beauty Shop, good for a
$10 prize.
Since there apparently was so
little interest in this classifica
tion, it may be eliminated next
year, Mrs. Arnold Melby, contest
chariman, said.
In the residential categories
there was an exceptionally large
number of entries, and they are
all very attractive, Mrs. Melby
said.
It has been requested that the

Remedial Reading
Questions Answered
(Editor's Note: This is the
last of two articles by Hillard
Brown on the elementary
remedial reading program.)
By HILLARD BROWN
Principal, Heppner Elementary
Schools
1. What children do we in
clude in our remedial reading
program?
Only those children of normal
or above normal intelligence are
included in a remedial class.
Mentally retarded children are
of necessity, taught in special
classes by specially trained
teachers. There are many reasons
why children of normal intelli
gence fail to achieve satisfac
torily in reading. Very rarely is
one factor found to be the sole
cause of a reading problem.
Some general types of causes
are physical, emotional and en
vironmental. 2. How are children selected
for this program?
Usually, the referrals are made
by the room teacher when a
reading handicap hinders a
child in his daily work. Tests
of various types are given by
the reading teacher to determine
his reading achievement level
and what particular reading
difficulties and weaknesses he
may have. Work is then given
to promote growth in these areas.
3. How long will my child be
in the remedial reading class?
No definite span of time can
possibly be set for the length
of a course. Help begins at the
reading level he is achieving.
It endeavors to build carefully
and steadily his confidence and
skills just as rapidly as he can
progress. At such a time as he
can independently do the work
lequired at his ability level, he
is dismissed. Not only the read
ing teacher's opinion is consid
ered in this matter, but also the
feelings of the room teacher and
the child's parents.
4. What are some special read
ing problems encountered in the
primary grades?
A. Poor phrasing reading
word-by-word.
B. Poor comprehension.
C. Poor oral reading habits
such as substituting a word for
one with similar configuration;
omitting words, repeating words
and phrases.
D. Poor phonetic skills chiefly
inability to associate a sound
heard with a printed symbol.
5. What special problems are
typical of reading in the upper
grades? ,
A. Poor phonetic analysis abil
ity: This often shows up in spell
ing as well as reading. It in
cludes the inability to associate
sounds and printed symbols, in
ability to speak sounds suggested
by printed symbols and to use
them independently when read
ing and writing.
B. Poor comprehension: This
includes inability to recognize
the general significance of ma
terial read; inability to select
the exact sentence and phrase
which provides necessary infor
mation; inability to paraphrase
and summarize and express
thoughts in writing.
C. Slow reading rate incorrect
phrasing.
D. Lack of appreciation for lit
erature. 6. Why are special materials
used in our remedial reading
programs?
Special materials are used,
particularly in the upper grades,
because the reading level must
be low and yet appeal to an
older child. Junior High people
often resent being taught from
a fourth grade reader even
though they may realize they
have a severe problem.
7. Is there a stigma attached to
attendance in these programs?
Children feet quite comfortable
in these classes. Work is geared
to a level where experiences are
successful in order that self con
fidence can be gained. Often
children ask to spend noon hours
and study periods in the reading
room.
8. What can I do to help my
child achieve success in reading?
Read to children for enjoyment
remembering that you have de
feated your purpose if you read
on after he has grown tired
of listening.
Show him you value reading
as important by reading books
and magazines yourself.
Encourage bhildren to accept
responsibility for tasks they can
do. See that they learn to finish
what they begin.
Help children become indepen
dent. Small children can dress
themselves, tie their shoes and
pick up toys. Older boys and girls

Every day... every meal... every farmer feeds this crowd
In I960, every farmer will produce food aplenty for
25 people 27,375 square meals in all! This record
productivity is now possible with the help of science,
fainter know-how, chemicals, and electric power.
Yet, electricity, which has helped triple food pro
duction in only 25 years, was just a dream for most
fanners as late as 1935. Teople, living in the country,
were scattered . . . supposedly too costly to reach with
light and power.
To get electricity, rural people organized into non
profit local groups, borrowed money at interest from
the REA and built their own lines. Today, nearly 1,000
locally-owned Rural Electric Systems operate lVa mil
lion miles of line serving 16 million Americans.
As workers leave farms for other jobs, farmers are
using more electricity to produce better food at lower
cost. This means lower grocery bills for you and
promises adequate food even when our population
doubles in the years ahead.
Rest of all, owner-users bear the cost of rural-electrification.
Already they've paid more than SI billion
in principal and interest on their $3Vn billion loans.
