Some'of the work done by the planning commission has
Just been culminated in a 26-page report, a comprehensive
Plan for North Morrow County, prepared with the Unce
of an engineering firm and aided by a gTant from the Urban
Renewal Administration. It considers the economic growth and
population trends, population. mid-Columbia economy, county
economy, existing land use and traffic patterns, planning for
land use. for traffic circulation, for schools and for parks.
This Is fundamental spade work for development No one
can accurately predict Just what new developments will come
to the county, or from where they will come. But with the
Boeing development underway and the new potential that
will be offered by the reservoir of the John Day dam. together
with the improved highway system, it Is almost certain that
great changes will take place in Morrow county.
The planning commission realizes that Morrow county can t

prepared to meet the challenges and problems that may be
presented. Industrial development and increased population
could spread the tax load, provide payrolls and Increase pros

to be prepared to accommodate Its new people with schools,
recreation, roads and other facilities.
As the future unfolds, the county will be grateful for the
volunteer work now being done by the planning commission

Ernest Jorgensen, Roy Lindstrom and D..O. Nelson and for
others who have been looking to the future, not in a visionary
and ethereal manner, but with the realization that changes
and development are virtually Inevitable.
U. S. Beef in Europe
(From Industrial News Review)
For almost a year, the American Meat Institute and the
Department of Agriculture have been working together on a
program designed to Increase our exports of beef and other
meat and livestock products to Western Europe and the United
Kingdom. In this, the AMI has been representing the entire
meat and livestock industry.
Now the Institute's board of directors has voted to extend
the program for a year after the expiration of the current phase
on June 30. The reason is that despite the problems Involved,
results to date have been encouraging and the future looks
bright m . ,
The figures indicate the progress made. U. S. exports or
beef and veal had increased to 57,245,000 pounds in 1964 as
compared with only 27,318,000 pounds In 1963. Variety meat
exports also showed a very substantial advance. The hope is
that these trends can be not only continued but accelerated.
In the worct of an Institute spokesman, "trade between the
United States and Western Europe can develop only to the
extent that it is of benefit to both our country and those of
Western Europe. We are extremely hopeful that obstacles such
as price differentials, ocean freight rates and national restric
tions can be overcome." .
Among other favorable factors, growing affluence in West
ern Europe Is expected to increase demand for beef, Including
the high quality beef produced in the United States. The mar
keting program promises major benefits to all concerned. May
it have the success it deserves.

Emphasizing the theme,
"Challenges of Growth," the
Oregon Association of Soil and
Water Conservation Districts
will coordinate the national
observance of Soil Stewardship
Week in our State during the
period May 23-30, 1965.
I am pleased to Join with
OASWCD in urging each citi
zen to consider his share in
the brotherhood of stewards
responsible for the proper hus
bandry of lands and waters,
forests and ranges, fish and
game, scenic, recreational and
other resources which God has
placed at our disposal.
We have been endowed with
a great trust It is up to each
of us as good stewards to share
in the development and pro
tection of this priceless heri
tage, particularly at a time
when we are placing even
greater demands upon such
resources.
May we, during Soil Stew
ardship Week, Join with the
OASWCD membership and
clergy throughout the State in
making obvious our gratitude
for the richness of this land.
May we also renew our pledge
to conserve our soil, woods,
water, wildlife, minerals, and
other resources.

HAVING such a prominent per
son as the governor coming
for the commencement speak r
brings some anxious moments
which may not be usually asso
ciated with the graduation ex
ercises. Principal Gordon Pratt
arranged for Governor Mark
Hatfield to speak sometime last
year to get the bid in early. As
the time drew near the principal
has been a little bit on pins and
needles for fear that something
would come up to preclude the
coming of the state's executive.

school officials there were a bit
surprised when he accepted th?
invitation.
THINGS perked up around the
G-T office this week when
Roice Fulleton came toting in
the fine saddle that we won as
a prize from the Spray rodeo.
It's a hand-tooled roping saddle
with pelican horn, Cheyenne
roll, double-rigged, nylon stitch
ed and with covered stirrups.
Sounds like this old greenhorn
really knows his saddles, doesn't
it? We'll have to confess that

from Dale Slushier, Pendleton
manager for Pacific Northwest
Bell. Dale, an ex-cavalry officer,
is a genuine expert on saddles.
Well, sir, we didn't even know
we were in the competition for
a prize via the tickets we pur
chased from Princess Ruby Ful
leton. We thought they were
admission tickets to the rodeo.
The phone started ringing
Sunday afternoon when local
folks who attended the rodeo
drifted back home. First was
Herm Winter who broke the
news, and the reaction was that
there must be some mistake.
Then W. W. (Bill) Weather
fcrd called and drawled as only
Bill Weatherford can drawl,
"Well, I hear you won a saddle
at the Spray rodeo. Now, of
course, you need a halter. And
you need a bridle. Then you
should have a couple of blank
ets. And you oughta have a big
pair of pliers to cut through a
few fences." Pause. "Oh, yes, it
would help if you had a horse,
too."
