County Committee To Study Crime First meeting of the county's newly-formed e-ommittee for the study of crime and delinquency was ' held Thursday night, July 23. for an orientation session. Present was Duane C. Lemley, consultant with the Oregon Council on Crime and Delin quency.

Lemley outlined procedures for for the county committee, which was recently appointed by the gathering statistics. In calling county court, the Oregon Council called attention to a "confusing hodge-podge system of courts for the handling of family and re lated cases." Overlapping of cases between courts, financial limitations, lack of staff and facilities, to gether with outdated laws and procedures, make it difficult for many courts to provide adequate services to families and child ren. Lemley pointed out In the first phase of their study, which will later be corre lated with that or otner counties, the Morrow committee members will share responsibilities of seeking needed facts from the local courts.

Mr. Marsh was instructor for the Carnegie Course taught in Heppner early this year and has many friends here. Mrs. Ralph Crum of lone said some time ago that she had heard that the boy had been killed in an acci dent, but it was not confirmed until Marsh called Wednesday.

Z-o-o-o-m B - o - o - o 32 Planes fo 'Attack' Bomb Range Whidbey Island, Wn., resi dents may check their watches precisely at seven o'clock a.m., Wednesday, August 5, as a pair of Jet attack planes roar sky ward from the NAS Whidbey runways on a simulated war time mission. Additional pairs of bombers will launch at exact 10 minute intervals thereafter. Each pair of planes consist of one big A-3 "Skywarrior" jet and one smaller A-4' "Skyhawk." This will be the second time this year that the big A-3 Skywarrior jets have teamed up with small er A-4 Skyhawks in a "Buddy Bombing" exercise designed to test the wartime capability of the carrier-based bom b I n g squadrons. The "Buddy Bombing" tactic is a standard technique which permits Navy aircraft carriers to multiply their striking power. The bigger planes refuel the smaller ones and help them nav igate to targets beyond their normal range. A similar exercise, in which the A-3 Skywarriors navigated , for and coached the single pil-1 CIiGro wers Obi Wliert Grades Cnjrrrman Al fllman ha informed Al l-arr.h, re;na;rr uf Mrrw County ;raln (iruwers.

Rainfall Brings Halt to Harvest Days Stay Warm Intermittent rainfall over much of the county for several davi this week brought a virtual halt to harvest for the time being. Some In the northern part of the county had finished har vest by time of the rains, how ever, while the southern part was Just getting underway. Daytime temperature stayed relatively high despite the mols ture, thereby creating tropical like weather which made the populace feel like a lot of rather uncomfortable humid beings. All elevators of the Morrow County Grain Growers have been working although the North Lex ington elevator was -slowing down" when the rains came, ac cording to Al Lamb, manager. Exceptionally good quality of both barley and wheat has been noticed this year, despite the downgrading on the new stand ards. The rain could have some ef fect on the quality of the gTaln yet unharvested by lightening the kernels. Except for this and the temporary delay, the mois tur is pretty well welcomed by H- . In Heppner, Leonard Gilliam, weather observer, reported 2 Inch on Tuesday and Wednes day, but a good soaker also came Thursday morning after I hie ronnrt was in. At the same time maximum temnerature was well above 90 on four days of the week, reach ing 97 on Saturday and Monday, and holding at 85 Wednesday despite the rain. The precipitation was welcome in the forested areas of the county to alleviate fire danger there. Hi Thursday 80 Low 46 53 54 52 63 65 57 Prec.

Lookouts report the strikes as they spot them during the storms. Heavy rain of short duration accompanied the storm, .25 inch being recorded - at - Madison Butte. Tuesday night was forecast to bring a severe lightning storm on the district but it failed to materialize, Lucore said. - m ! oted Skyhawks in low altitude radar controlled approaches over their targets was held in Apru. The Skvwarrior lets oartici pating in Wednesday's exercise are based at Whidbey, and the smaller Skyhawks will come to Whidbey from NAS Lemoore, near Fresno, Calif. A total of 32 planes will fly in the exercise. Whidbeys Heavy Attack Squadrons 2, 4, 8, and 123 will team up with Lemoore's Light Attack Squadrons 153, 155, 163, 164. 23, and 125. This arrange ment keeps group planes of the same Carrier Air Wing together. Carriers represented are USS Coral Sea, USS Oriskany, and USS Midway. The exercise is highly com petitive, each flight being scored on several factors. Any takeoff delay is disqualifying. Navigat ional precision is checked by ra dar and ground observers. Bomb ing accuracy is scored at the Navy's bombing range at Board man and at Navy and Air Force radar bombing scoring units at bpoKane ana eisewnere. The planes will follow a route 10 cents AstiRelieff It U hoed that action can be taken to usiend the new rul for grading for or.e yrar en the pround that the crop had been planted before the new rule were approved. This would give farmers time to make needed adluitmenta to the new regulat ions and prevent penalties that they now find they are facing. Lamb said. He reported that Ullman'i of flee advised him that the De partment of Agriculture asked for a few dayi lo consider the problem. At the present time most farmers are finding that their varieties of Burt. Kequa. Or fed and Fort fold wheat are being downgraded as far as No, 4. be cause of contrasting classes, whereas under VJ3 grading rule this ame wheat would have been graded No. 1. Lamb stated that apparently the Pacific Northwest areas of low rainfall, where efforts have been underway to find a grain that yields well under low mois ture conditions, are the only lo cations being hurt by the new grades. In the states of Oregon. Wash ington and Idaho, where dry land farming Is extensive, the tougher 1964 grading require ments may cause several mil lion bushels to be downgraded to the point that It will have to be consumed for feed locally rather than to find its outlet In the regular markets. Lamb aald. The Ironical fact is that all of earlier wheats of this variety have been disposed of in the world markets because of Us consumer acceptance so that any surplus will have to be accum ulated thli year," he declared. Gordon Hulchens Draws Transfer Gordon Hutchens, for the past years wholesale sales repre sentative for the Standard Oil Company here, has been trans ferred to The uaues 10 serve in the same capacity there, he has announced. In the new location he will cover much of the same territory as before, including Heppner. but will have a large area to service, he said. The family plans to move August 14. At the present time they are on vacation to Shawn igan Lake, British Columbia. They plan to be back in Heppner sometime next week. Teacher Signed For Irrigon Post Darrel Swenson of Cheney.

They then cross the coastline in Oregon or Northern California at tree top level. Nav igating under control of the ra dar aboard each Skywarrior, they simulate a nighttime, bad weather, approach to the Board man bombing range. On reach ing the Boardman target, each carries out a "loft maneuver," In which the plane releases a bomb as it climbs almost vertically. The bomb sails upward and for ward while the plane rolls out and dives away in the direction from which it came. The exercise is highly com petitive and all maneuvers are carefully scored. Winning Air Wings, squadrons and individ ual pilots will be announced at the NAS Whidbey Officers club after scores are tabulated. Trophies and awards will be presented to the winners by Vice Admiral P. D. Stroop. Com mander of Pacific Fleet Naval Air Forces, who will come to Whidbey from San Diego to ob serve the exercise, and to open an Aviation Safety Symposium on Thursday, August 6.
