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.

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-

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

a Tj'i advance of the figure,

Only one major bridge wu
washed out in the county, that

inent will icimburse for the cos!

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

Meanwhile, several roads in
the county remained closed this
week and a number were open
o.ily to one-way traffic.

road 'was opened to trucks two

The opening was permitted
with the understanding that if

the county court "will take an
other look" at the matter, Judge
Jones said.
Representing government ag

were John Mackey, Office of

Volunteers are still needed in
the Boardman and Irrigon areas

writing him in care of P. O. Box

Both banks serving Morrow
county have announced in

that interest paid on savings ac
