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. All but one member of the
county committee were present,
Including Mrs. Larry Cook of
Heppner, Mrs. Paul Slaughter of
Irrlgon. Mrs. Roland Bergstrom
and Mrs. E. Markham Baker
both of lone. Mrs. Joe Tatone
of Boardman could not be
present. Mrs. Margie Shade, who
is not a member, attended with
Mrs. Slaughter.
Also present were Lowell
Chally, county welfare admin
istrator, and County Judge Oscar
Peterson.
First work to be undertaken
by the committee will be to
gather statistics on caseloads
and dispositions of cases in the
Juvenile department, county Jus
tice courts, circuit court and
municipal courts.
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gether with outdated laws and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. I

Dies in Accident
Randall Marsh, 11-yearold
son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Marsh
of Parkdale. was killed July 12
in an accident at the bam of
the Marsh farm, the father told
the Gazette-Times in a telephone :
call Wednesday.
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.
He said that he and Mrs. Marsh
had been too numbed with shock
of the accident to send word
here.
In some manner the boy be
came entangled in rope suspend

breaking his neck.
Besides the parents, survivors
include two sisters, Mrs. Donald
Marcus of Portland and Mrs.

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

normal range.

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.

Lightning Fails
To Start Fires
Lightning accompanying Wed
nesday afternoon's storm made
45 recorded strikes on the
Heppner Ranger district, but no
fires were started as a result,
Loren Lucore, fire control officer
reported. 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

Tuesday night was forecast to
bring a severe lightning storm
on the district but it failed to
materialize, Lucore said.

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,

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

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.
