JOHN BRISTOW Arbuckle Ready For Ski Season Storms which have harassed the area have brought some pood news. Repeated snow storms have covered the Ar buckle Mountain ski course to depth of some 4'4 feet, and the area is now ready for full operation, Ken reck, president of the Arbuckle Mountain Corp oration, announces. Two tows, one for beginners and one for intermediates and experts, will be in operation each Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. witn mou- crate rates offered for their use. The road up Shaw Creek grade way plowed by K'nzua Corpor ation Monday, but it is advised that those coming to the area be equipped with chains. The tow at the beginners' area is SO ft. long, and the slope is gradual for children and no vices. The new rope tow for the main ski area is 1200 ft. long and will take skiers to a slopo for intermediates or on up to an area of steep pitch for experts. Under the leadership of the sponsoring corporation, the ski run has been further developed, this year as a start in a pro gram designed to make it one of the top courses in eastern Oregon. All ski enthusiasts are invited to go to Arbuckle to en joy the facilities there. Tuesday night contest. Th? team has yet to meet defeat and received five points Tuesday in the Oregonian A-2 poll. When they go to Pilot Rock Friday night the home five will be in something of a favored role but could be upset by the Rockets who are usually tough to handle on their own floor. The DeSales quint was sched uled to come to Heppncr Satur day night for an interrupted re turn game with the Mustangs, but it has been postponed again. It was first scheduled for prior to Christmas -but was postponed because of the pre-holiday storm The December 18 game with En terprise was also postponed, and is row tentatively re-scheduled for February 13 at Enterpri. -ho DeSales game is now ten tativly scheduled for Tupsrlav.

Heliker, a jayvee last year who has seen limited action earlier this sea son, poured in 17 points in two quarters of play against Condon there.

The Fockets then come to Heppner on February 6 for another kings X game before the final battle here on February 2G, the second league game between the teams. The Oregon Heart Association has announced the appointment of Harley Sager as Morrow coun ty campaign chairman for 1965. Serving with Sager as commit tee chairmen in the month-long campaign which begins here and throughout the nation on February 1. are Mrs. Frank Ham- llin, Heppner chairman, who has been very active in the past witrt the Heart Fund drive; Mrs. John Ledbetter, Lexington chairman, and Carol Miller, chairman of the lone community drive. Ruth Chapter No. 50, Order of Rain bow for Girls, will handle the house-to-house solicitations in Heppner. The Heart Fund drive will reach its high point during Heart Week, February 15 through 21, when volunteers in all of the county's community residential areas will visit their neighbors to deliver educational informa tion on how to reduce the risk of heart attack and to accept con tributions to the Heart Fund. It is conducted simultaneously in thousands of communities throughout the United States and affords every family in the community an opportunity to contribute. Morrow county's number one health enemy, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, account ed for 15 of the 36 deaths in the county last year, or 427c. bince the first Heart Fund campaign in 1949, there had been a decline of 7ft per cent m the cardiovas cular death rate applying to A merican males aged 45 to 64. "The Heart Fund is a great crusade against the number one health enemy of our nation in which we all can participate through giving and serving as a Tj'i advance of the figure, which U aid lo h avaUaoie upon application, Jude Jon.-i Hi 1.1.

Cit.t for additional width must be borne by the county. It will pay for silt removal. oibrls clearance, channel clear ance and replace bridges and culvert to minimal standard.. If washed out culvert can bj found, they must be used in tho restoration. Only one major bridge wu washed out in the county, that ovet Kock Creek on the Lono rock road. The federal govern inent will icimburse for the cos! of luilding a 12 ft. wide struc ture of untreated local tiinbt-r, but the county must bear the COM of replacing that portion which would bring the bnd up to its width and quality stan dards. Application for the funds must be made within 90 days of De cember 24, 191, and worU must be completed within a year, the Judge said. What the estimate of damage by the team, will be Is anyone's guess at this point. A previous fstimate within the county placed losj to roads and bridges at $300,000 and to the City of lorn; and lone High school at $15,000. Judge Jones said that he un derstood it would "do no good' for ihe county to apply for more than that estimated by the team. "It doesn't look as if we can restore our roads to anywhere near their previous standard without the serial road levy," the Judge said. The countv court will discuss when to propose ihe levy to another vote of tn. pub .'ic and th amount to ask for sfier it has been determ'n. d what damages will be forth coming from the federal govern ment, Jones said.

Private individ I uaJs who are damaged mav au- ply to other sources, information on which is available through the county agent's office. Meanwhile, several roads in the county remained closed this week and a number were open o.ily to one-way traffic. The upper Rhea Creek roaJ was opened to trucks by action of the county court Wednesday after a delegation from Kinzua Corporation appoached the couit on the matter, pointing out the necessity of getting logs cold iecked now The Willow Creek road 'was opened to trucks two days ago. The opening was permitted with the understanding that if breakup of the roadbed starts, the county court "will take an other look" at the matter, Judge Jones said. Representing government ag encies at the meeting in Pen dleton and answering questions were John Mackey, Office of Emergency Planning; Vern Fish er for the Oregon secretary of state; and Glen Burroughs, Boise, from the Bureau of Reclamation. Banks Announce Interest Increase wire fence and its concrete foundation were also damaged. The tree was some two feet in diameter and perhaps 40 to 50 feet high.

Volunteers are still needed in the Boardman and Irrigon areas and anyone interested may con tact Harley Sager at the First National Bank in Heppner, by writing him in care of P. O. Box 527. Heppner, or by phoning 989 8438, Lexington. Both banks serving Morrow county have announced in creases on rates of interest ef fective as of January 1, 1965. Gene Pierce, manager of the Bank of Eastern Oregon, said that interest paid on savings ac counts in the three branches of the bank, Arlington, lone, and Heppner, will be increased to 4 Deposits made prior to Jan uary 10 will bear interest from January 1, he said. First National Bank of Oregon also announced increase of its rate of interest on regular sav ings to 4 through Ralph J. V'oss. president of the statewide banking system. Voss said the increase is retroactive to Jan uary 1.
