HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, January 23, 1964 Irrigon Reelects City's Progress Noted By LaVELLE PARTLOW IRRIGON Mayor Chester A. Wilson was unanimously re elected to serve as Mayor of Irri gon for another year at the City Council meeting held Tuesday evening. The City charter for Irrigon provides that the mayor will he elected by the council at the first council meeting of the calendar year, to serve for one year. Donald Adams was elec ted Pro Tern Mayor, and Mrs. Marguerile Houghton was reelec ted as City Recorder. After Wilson's reelection, lie read the following progress re port: "Although no major ad vancements have occurred, there have been some improvements in the past year, namely: (1) Re application for the opening of 6th slreet, which was finally ap proved and agreement signed with the Railroad, leaving only the actual construction to be ac complished, (2) The seal-coating of approximately 10,000 ft. of streets, costing around $4,000.00, (3) The signing of an agreement with Umatilla Electric Co-op. Ass'n. resulting in the instal lation of 10 street lights on South Main, (4) Contracting with Cor nell, Ilowland, Hayes and Merry field for feasibility studies on water and sewerage systems, (5) The placing of street sign posts with six "stop" and six "yield'' signs, as well as 27 temporary street-name signs. "Twelve recular meetings of the council were held, and three special meetings, one of these a specially called public meet ing for the purpose of discussing a city water system. There were only 3 absences of members dur ing the year. "A Municipal Judge was elec ted at a special election and 6 ordinances were passed, with on? being repealed. One resignation was received on the planning commission and one appoint ment made. Twenty-eight letters were written by the mayor in behalf of the city, besides those 118 mailed on the water study. "The Planning Commission has done an excellent job, for which we commend them. Be sides the work they have done in their regular meetings, much outside effort has been expended in the gathering of data and preparation of maps to be used in the zoning study. Planning Commission Secretary, Mrs. Leon Bentley, has been responsible ior the printing of the copies of the ordinances as well as the letters which went out on the water study and for this we es pecially thank her. "To each of you on the coun Resource Waste Can Be Slowed By Conservation Needless waste of our natural resources can be slowed down and eventually halted through the Joint efforts of the land owner and the rest of the public by use of the Agricultural Con servation Program (ACT), says David McLeod of the Agricult ural Stabilization and Conser vation Service. "The ACP is a partnership of cost-sharing between the land owners and the general public In an effort to conserve our great natural resources." he said. "As time Is the eroding factor in rhaneinc vouth to old age, so it is with the erosion of our natural resources. Tilled or an protected soil is eroded away in time, by the wind and water, If protective conservation meas ures are not taken. Each year thousands of tons of our finest too soil is lost down the drain from erosion." McLeod said that ACP is in tended to provide the Incentive to establish and maintain need ed conservation practices on our crop and woodlands. Practices providing means for conserva tion of our soil, water, wood land, and wildlife are cost shared with farmers up to one half the cost. "We should all remember that to conserve our resources, meas ures will have to be taken be fore erosion gains the position that conservation is too late," McLeod warned. He pointed out that the 19G-1 ACP offers muny practices that may be applied to the land where erosion is started or where erosion may start if conserving measures are not taken. Prac tices such as contour stripcrop ping and diversion ditches, and terraces can effectively reduce erosion from wind and water on cropland. Seedings of permanent grasses and legumes effectively arrest erosion on rangcland. Land lev eling, dams aiul other measures may be talu n to conserve water. Befoie erosion starts is the time to apply conservation meas ures, McLiod said. "Dun't wait until the horse gets out to close the barn door. Use ACP assistance while it is available," he concluded. cil, to Mrs. Houghton, who has faithfully recorded, besides carrying on much of the corres pondence to the Chief of Police, who has constantly been on call, I sincerely tender my apprec iation. Your cooperation in be half of the city has been a real inspiration. Respectfully submitted, Chester A. Wilson, Mayor" During the meeti n g, Mrs. Houghton read a letter received from the Oregon State Highway Department stating that they would not reduce the speed limit through the city of Irrigon.

J m Relative thought seriously ill is going to recover! Wife above calls husband long distance, shares good news with him. Or even if it's bad news, shouldn't it be shared?

PACIFIC NORTHWEST BELL National Lamb Consumption Low, Needs Promotion By ESTHER KIRMIS What is lamb and what is mutton? Lamb, according to the American Lamb Council, is meat from an animal less than a year old; mutton is the meat of an animal Vk years old or more. Leonard Schwarz of the Court Street Market in Heppner, called me the other day and told me he was going to promote lamb at his meat counter this coming week. "Too many people don't know how good it can be," he said. Long term statistics show that lamb has a high rate of con sumption in the New England States, New York and Califor nia. Almost 707c of the total lamb supply is consumed by only 30 of the country's pop ulation. Why? Because of mental complexes that have their roots in mistaken ideas. Here are some mistaken ideas: Lamb, to some people, carries with it the concept of being a delicate feminine food. Housewives actually shy away from the lesser known cuts when thpv arc rrnar iHipiilniiQlv lnu Lamb has been considered as a luxury item. Other consumers think of lamb as a meat dish which is strictly for certain nationality. Lamb is often thought of as a "health" food for the very old or young. Lamb is like mutton and I had my fill of mutton in the service, say servicemen. Lamb is a seasonal meat, tood only for special occasions. Here are some answers to these mistaken ideas: Lamb is not a feminine food it has much or more nutritional value and energy as any protein food. We thought we could only buy lamb chops and legs, while in rpnlitv thpro ara mnrp than a dozen cuts of lamb, such as rib- lets, neck slices, lamb patties or shanks that are tender, tasty, and nutritions and economical. Because of its nutritional value and ease of digestion, lamb is some times thought of ac n "hpalth fnnrl " It's tastp appeal and nutritional value are good for all. Lamb is not necessarily a nat ionality dish The American Lamb Council is engaged in a program to show the consumer that lamb has been a part of the American scene since early colonial days. Lamb has suffered because it has been confused with mutton. The "Lamb" that World War II servicemen in the South Pa cific grew to dislike so intensely was not lamb but mutton. Their dislike has influenced their fam ilies and now present a real problem to the retailer. Lamb seasons have changed. During March and April lamb cuts are mainly from mature, fed lambs. During the summer and early fall, "milk-fat" lamb are nn the market. Late fall and winter bring fed lambs, so you see you can have lamb at any time. Mrs. Betty Ashbaugh, former home economist with the Amer ican Lamb Council, was in the county several years ago and put on a demonstration of how lamb might be used. She also left me a Paula Owen cookbooK on "lamb" which you can see nt thp rnnntv Deems Ollice. One especially good recipe she gave me was barbecued lamb riblets. Would you like to try it?

Not if the lad has the grit of Tim Ewald. Even though this 17-year-old from Minneapolis can barely "inch" along with the help of a cane, he wears the monogram of Golden Valley High School in both football and track. -How come? How is all this athletic activity possible when it takes this likable youngster as much as 15 minutes merely to tie his shoelaces? You must look back seven years to find the answer. As the second-oldest of five sons, Tim at the age of 10 could outrun all his brothers and even his parents, Graydon and Diane Ewald. At touch football, no one could lay a hand on him. Tim dreamed of a high school and college career in football and Then, at the age of 10, came disaster. One night the boy was struck -by the indescribably severe pains of rheumatoid ar thritis throughout his body. His temperature soared. For long months he had to be hospital ized in body casts and treated with cortisone. Aided by March of Dimes Now, after seven years of the disease, Tim is slowly regain ing some' mobility thanks in great part to physical therapy given him at the March of Dimes Arthritis Treatment Center in the University of Minnesota Medical School. This treatment is conscientiously re peated at home. Much as the boy yearned to play, such strenuous sports as football and track were not for him. It was all he could do just to hobble from class to class. 'But in his freshman year at high school he resolved to be as close to sports as his crippled condition permitted. Tim made a private vow that he would become a team man ager. He made it in his freshman year as manager of the foot ball squad. He made it again in his sophomore year.

Here he outlines caricature of a sports personality. His doctors at March of Dimes Arthritis Center say this is good therapy for his hands and wrists. year, his third, he managed the track team. He won his letters in two sports. Tim won't talk much about what his duties are. He's an ex cessively modest youngster but, even if it does embarrass the bov, his father says: "I looked into this with some care because it would be dan gerous for Tim to overdo. I found out that these manager ships aren't snap jobs given by the players to a classmate they feel sorry for. The work is tough Tim goes along in the team bus to games all around the state, he checks equipment and keeps the players' records, he's a timekeeper, and so on. But he thrives on it and its far better therapy than gnaw ing his nails because of no con tact with sports." Even with his heavy sched ule of classes, homework, team management, home exercises and weekly visits to the March of Dimes Arthritis Treatment Center, Tim finds time to draw, Doherty Promoted In ROTC Ranking Dennis D. Doherty of Heppner has been promoted to cadet first lieutenant in the U. S. Army Re serve Officers' Training Corps at the University of Oregon, the news bureau there announces. Alfred G.

He thinks that someday he might like to be a sports cartoonist. Faces Surgery Will he walk again normally? It's quite possible. This year, after graduation from high school, he may undergo hip surgery. Dr. Keith N. Drum mond, assistant director of the March of Dimes center, ex plains that Tim's hips are now locked in a bent position caused by contraction of the tendons and muscles and by inflamma tion of the hip joints. Under favorable circumstances, sur gery could release and lengthen these shortened tissues. Whether crippled for life c on his feet again, which now seems likely, Tim is determined to continue working actively in sports. That's about all he'll say. But you know that this quiet and resolute youngster means it. Attends Convention Lowell L.
