Hunting Mishaps Involve Three Over Week-end Giles Trench, Ben illusa Sneak at Chamber Here State Senator Ben Musa of The Dalles and Giles French of Moro, candidates opposing each other . for the senate sent from the 18th district. Rharcd the program at the Monday luncheon meeting of the Heppner-Morrow county Chamber of Commerce. Each talked for about 10 min utes on non-political subjects. French, the first speaker, said that this country Is in the In evitable process of change. "Some won't like the chanRcs, but there Is not much chance to stop them," he said. An abundance of water from the Columbia River, good roads, air and railroad transportation make this an excellent site for industrial development, he said. "All that Industry needs Is here but labor." he said. "With labor we could appeal to al most any company that might be Interested in coming here. "We have so much electricity we are giving it away. What this change will do to wheat farm ing I don't know. We might have to go to raising lettuce. But we have people and we will have change." French said that residents should take an Interest in what is going to happen and try to control lt without leaving the matter to the government. He also -discussed the public lands program, which he said is "terribly involved." In the Mid -Columbia area there Is a "lot of BLM area land not being used and not being rented to stockmen," he declared. French anticipates that there will be some opportunity to buy public lands. He added that a legislator should know all about the area he seeks to represent, and touched on the matter of prop erty taxes, saying that this area, with a valuation of $122,000,000, pays $8 million annually in property taxes or about 7 of the valuation. Income taxes are of distinct advantage to farmers, he said. Senator Musa concurred with French on changes coming to the area and added, "The change is coming closer than you realize." He spent some time discussing the last (special) session of the legislature when "wo had to amend some of our handiwork." Musa said that the legislature didn't like Its tax proposals nny better than the people did but said, "We must live within our foreseeable Income." He told how the legislators agreed to restrict business at the special session to the tax and fiscal matters but made one Im portant exception, the action to save the Boardman project. "We had an obligation to meet that we could not turn down," he said. "We did sustain the Boardman project. It was the only thing we could do. We had to keep the promise, had to keep the pledge," he said. "I have very fond hopes that it will open up the potential of commercial en terprise." Sen. Musa also related how in 1951 he worked to prevent coun ty assessors from being appoint ed by the Tax Commission rather than being elected by the people. He alone insisted on a minority committee report, he said, that finally resulted in the proposal being defeated. "This would take too much power from the people," he said. Sen. Musa was Introduced by Al Lamb, Chamber president and Morrow county Democratic Central committee chairman, and French was introduced by Don Turner, county Republican Cent ral committee chairman. One hunter died of a heart attack and two others suffered Injuries In separate mishaps In the area over the week-end.

UeL. ... The western division champ Ion will play Vale of the east on Saturday, November 7, at 2 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). Burns has held an edge over the Mustangs for the past sev eral years, although the teams have staged some classic battles.

Note: This article was written bv Mrs. Gladys Van Winkle. Heppner elementary cook, in observance of National Hot Lunch Week). What really goes on behind the serving counter when it comes to preparing a school hot lunch for one week? For one given week the cooks at the Heppner Elementary school prepared and served a to tal of 1940 lunches. The prepar ation and serving of these meals entails 106 "woman" hours. There are three cooks and four student helpers in the cafeteria. In order to participate m a Tvoe A lunch program, these daily requirements must be met: Two ounces protein per serving, i cud vegetables and or iruit (two servings of vegetables, or two fruit or one serving of vege table and one serving of fruit). Included in this requirement must be a vitamin C rich food daily and a vitamin A rich rood twice weekly. Two teaspoons of butter per lunch must be served daily also. . . , In order to inciuae an oi uus and keep the cost at a minimum, since the lunches are 5c per student and JOc per adult, takes quite careful planning. For the week of September 28 October 2, 180 lbs. of beef. 48 lbs. of ham. 60 cups of dried egg, 50 lbs. of dried beans, and 24 lbs. of tuna fish were con sumed for the protein. Seven teen cases of canned fruits and vegetables, one crate of lettuce, 40 lbs. of cabbage, 55 lbs. of fresh carrots and 25 lbs of celery provided the vegetables and fruits. Bread and butter and seasonings used 65 lbs. of butter. The state provides Hour, powdered milk, rice and corn meal besides some meat, vege tables and fruits. The menus include hot bread al least once a week. The ele mentary lunch program uses 40 lbs. of Hour, eight pounds ol ; shortening and eight pounds of powdered milk for the rolls. j When Junior comes nome and . says, I sure man t line any thing we had for lunch today," one might smile and say, "I know. dear, but it was a bal anced meal."

One of the most interesting races In the state l that be tween Tom McCall. Republican, and Alfred H. Corbett. Democrat, both of Portland, seeking the position of Secretary of State to be vacated at the end of the year by Howell Appling who did not seek reelection. Consen sus is that the two men are running close as of this time. Robert W. Straub of Eugene, former state Democratic party chairman, is making a strong bid to unseat Incumbent Howard Bclton of Canby as state res urer. Belton. known as "Mr. In tegrity" by his supporters, has been in public office for many years. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. Democrat, Salem, is challenged by Merlin Estep, Re publican, also of Salem, for the attorney general position. Coming closer to home, Giles former legislator for 17 years, seeks to represent the ISth sen atorial district Gilliam. Hood River. Morrow, Sherman. Wasco and Wheeler counties) as state senator. He opposes Ben Musa of The Dalles. Democrat and in cumbent, who is now serving as president of the senate. Two new candidates are vielng for the position of state repre sentative from the 28th repre sentative district (Gilliam, Mor row. Sherman. Umatilla and Wheeler counties). They seek the position to be left by Jack Smith of Condon who is not seeking reelection. Irvin Mann., Jr., Re publican, of Stanfield is opposed by Martin H. Buchanan, Demo crat, of Milton-Freewater. Both are receiving a strong backing and this looms as a tight race. At the county level, Oscar E. Peterson, Republican and incum bent, faces opposition in Paul Jones. Democrat for county judge. Judge Peterson was nom inated by Republicans in May after he had once withdrawn from the race and re -entered. Jones has been conducting ' an active campaign for the position. Two are competing for the one county commissioner post to be filled. They are Walter H. Hayes, Republican, of Boardman, who la in thk rnla jt lha Inntmhanr and Maxwell Jones, Democrat, of Irrigon. Hayes was appointed to the commissioner position fol lowing the resignation of Milton Biegel last year. Mrs. Sadie Parrish. county clerk, won the nomination from both parties in May and runs uncontested as clerk. The same is true with C. J. D. Bauman, sheriff for many years, who seeks reelection, and with Sylvia McDaniel for county treasurer. There are contests for port commissioner with Joseph Ta tone. Democrat of Boardman. seeking reelection for a two-year term but opposed by Donald E. Turner, Republican, Lexington. rour candidates, two irom each party, are running for three 4-year terms on the port commission. They are Al Lamb, incumbent and Lloyd Berger, both Democrats; and Dewey West, Jr., and John R. Krebs, Re publicans and both incumbents. Four state measures face voters measure No. 1 which seeks to abolish capital punish ment, measure No. 2. which would amend the constitution to permit the state to lease real property for a period not exceed ing 20 years (both of these are by referendum): measure 3, which would change the state Workmen's Compensation law from an elective to a compul sory system; and measure 4, which would prohibit commerc ial fishing for salmon and steel- head in all Oregon inland waters. Both of the later meas ures are on the ballot by init iative petition. One county measure is on tne ballot that to provide a 3-year serial levy for county roads of $100,000 per year.
