These will be given out on a first come, first served basis, and those who might have preference in loca- tion are urged to contact the fair secretary at the county agent's office and have the booth space reserved. Theme of this year's countv fair Is "Harvest Time." Attorney Bob Abrams, called on for his legal opinion, said that It would be necessary to hold hearings in the affected districts and also to find the an swers to questions on the tax bases in these districts. He said that he questions the legality of an agreement be tween the districts that would stipulate that neither would as sume bonded indebtedness of (Continued on Page 5) Rain Temporarily Halts Harvest urain Harvest came to an abrupt halt in Morrow county uus ween just as it was got ting well underway. Rains came Monday nignt and continued in termittently through Wednesday, moving harvesters out of the fields. ' While the crop may not take serious carnage u it does not continue for a prolonged time, me rain brought delay to a har vest tnat started later than us ual. July 4 is considered a nor mal start of early harvest in the northern part of the county, and mucn ot tne crop across the county is In storage by late July. On the other hand, it is noth ing unusual for rain to Interrupt Harvest. It slowed proceedings in late July last year, but har vest was almost completed by min-August. Early rain In July, 1963, delayed start that year but harvest was virtually finished by August 22. In the 19C2 season, off and on rains hampered harvest and the crop was not all in until earlv September. Eugene Winters, countv ex tension agent, said those in the lone area were halted about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, not havini? received the earlier rain felt in Heppner Monday night. Ai Lamb, manager of Morrow County Gain Growers, said that the cooperative had received 7. o87,(XX) pounds of wheat, or 123,- 000 bushel, by time of the gen oral shutdown, and 8,23(5,000 pounds or barley, or 171,000 bushels, idnce the Grain Grow ers receive an annual total of some 2,000,000 bushels of wheat and barley in a harvest season, it is apparent that harvest was Just underway. Lamb said that he does not believe any rancher was com pletely through harvest when the rain came. Elevators at Heppner and Ruggs had not vet started receiving. He said he did not believe the crop was mature enough to hurt test weight substantially. If rain ceases as of mid-week, harvest should be well in swing again by Monday, he said. we ve never lost a crop vet because of rain," Lamb declared. But this doesn't keen anxious farmers from "champing at the bit" since there is alwavs the possibility of hail or heavy thunder showers to wreak dam age to the crops. indications are still that the crop, while no in the bumper category, will be a real good one with both yield and quality high and no rust or other mis fortunes to mar it. Deserving honor will come to Erna Lynn Winchester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lrnie Winches ter, Heppner. in the second of this year's series of princess dances lor the Morrow County Rodeo court Saturday evening, July 24. Continued good support Is ex pected for the dance at the fair pavilion, when the public is in vited to come and enjoy a good time and dance to the music of The Western Gentlemen from Condon. Princess Erna can rightfully be called a true "daughter of the saddle," with a fine family history of riding, and a lifelong member of the Wranglers, her sponsoring organization. Brow n-e y e d, titian-haired Erna has lived all of her 16 years with her family in the house on the corner of Church and Main streets. Her mother, Lois, who has operated a beau ty shop at that location since 1"27, also has spent her entire life there. The pioneering great-grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Reid, occupied quarters In the old Heppner Hotel, which was located on the same corner, in tne year 1901. The hotel was washed away in the 1903 flood and the Reids built the house in which the family stiU lives. and behind it the grandfather operated a lumber yard. txnie vvincnester. iatner or the princess, came to Heppner from Massachusetts, where he has worked as a contract car penter and painter. The princess has come to be as much at home on a horse as she has in her native commun ity, where her gay spirit and vivacious personality has made her many friends. She appeared in her first rodeo parade at the age of one year, sitting on a pillow in front of her mother's saddle, then riding alone when she was two, and each yeat thereafter. She has missed riding in only (Continued on page 8) rluilfd In Omnibus Klvrr and lUrbor Authorization Bill, re ported to Senate on July 19, we re asking Senai Appropriat ion committee tj give rrtou onlderatln to approval of JloO.W for fla V.Ai for pre construction planning on Wil low Creek prot-l.

Next step would be to draw up contract plans and specification The appropiiittin for the pre construction planning must pre- cvde the appropriation for ccr. struction of the project. Sively said that the Engin eers, having completed tneir survey for the project, whic h has been approved by all agencies. can do nothing more until a pre construction planning approprla ion is forthcoming. He said he has known pro jects that awaited appropriat ions for years following author ization and said that if a plan ning appropriation were obtain ed thU year, it would speed up the project's timetable a "min- Imum of a year." The senators' telegram, fol lowing closely the announce ment that the project is Includ ed In the Omnibus bill, brought ! additional Joy to local leaaers who have been working for the projecL Mayor A! Lamb said that Cong. AI Ullman had expressed hope that the appropriation might be expedited in the same year as the omnibus bill, but the news from Senators Morse and Neuberger came as a con siderable surprise here, even though supporters full well re alize that the fact that the ap- proprialon is asked for does not mean that it will be approved. Ascar Peterson, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce de velopment committee, said that he has written letters of apprec iation to the senators and to Congressman Ullman. Other supporters of the project ex pressed similar appreciation and peculated that swiftly develop ing events may be partially due to local interest demon strated in the project and the need for the multiple uses of the dam.
