Attention to detail was ap parent. Real soil covered me stage, and when Eldon Berry and Lonesome Berry (Mark Brown) became involved in a tussle on stage, they stirred up real dust. The action, which called upon the characters of the present to mingle with some who returned from the past as the fantasyi part of the plav. was difficult but it was carried out effectively. It was a play where all the characters performed admirably and it would be a hard job to pick a ' best actor" and a "best actress." Besides those mentioned, the cast included Shirley Erwin as Prim Stokes. Gene Heliker as Tinker Smith. Maureen Doherty as Martha Mears, and Brenda Young as Eva Friese. all the "live ones." From the past were Steve Warren as wampaw Berry. Judy Jones as Granny Berry, David Van Schoiack as Calhoun Berry.

Tv.b. ornm i-tiimed a ereater income than 1963 but were still down from recent years mainiy due to a switch in production of farm crops in north Morrow county. Commercial potato pro duction, an important source of income in some past years, has been entirely discontinued. The price of cantaloupes and water melons was good with an in creased yield but demand was slow and many tons of these crops were left unharvested in the field. "There is further demand for increased acreages of fresh as paragus and the Birdseye Corp oration is attempting to contract additional acres of this crop in the Boardman-Irrigon area," Anderson said. "This holds a po tential of an important crop for our north Morrow area if interest develops." Beef Income Down Livestock produced $2,562,000 or 26 59 of the total agricultur al income. Beef income was down considerably due to a poor market year. Sheep and wool are up, but hog income slumped to practically nothing. Dairy contributed an income of $59, 000, down from last year due to waning interest in this industry. Not considered in the total agricultural income this year were wool subsidy, agricultural conservation and soil bank pay ments. Wheat certificate pay ments totaled $1,351,682; diver sion payments $93,199, and bar ley payments totaled $256,741,79. This income was added to the value of wheat and barley. nnmnaw Berrv deserve special credit. After all. he looked and acted exactly like a lean and grizzled 4!Vr.

Annual Scout Drive for Funds Supports Council The annual financial drive for continued support of the Blue Mountain Council. Boy Scouts cf America, was begun this week by members of the Heppner Troop No. 600 and . executive leaders in this district. The plan was outlined by scouting leaders Monday night in the Heppner Hich school cafeteria. Serving as chairman of the community drive is Paul Warren. Residents will be contacted personally during the next two weeks for financial support of the council's program. It is through public contribut ions that the Blue Mountain Council can carry on its pro eram of providing camping fa cilities, office services, training of leaders, professional staff, maintenance of individual ser- an4 nrlvnnrpmpnt records. organization1 and re-registration of units, advanced training oi Scouts and Explorers.

The auditor cautioned that the cltv should "watch Its state tax street fund." adding. 'The state says If you don't spend the money, they will take It back, and thev mean it. You're not using all yours." Langenwalter said that there Is a broad In terprctation of how this state money allocated to cities may be used, covering virtually any thing that can be construed to have any connection with streets. The auditor said that bonds carried by the city to cover Its city employees are not sufficler.t. considering the amount of money handled. He said that many cities are no longer covering their em ployees with these bonds, but said that If It Is the policy to carry them, they should be suf ficient to cover the amount of money handled. Liability Considered Attorney Abrams brought up the matter of the city's liability insurance. He said that the city should check with Insurance agents to see what liability Is covereo.
