Kids Wonderful Tour is Great
(Continued irom pago 1'
chaporones, Robert Kroodsma,
principal of Kelloetr school. Port
land, and Mrs. Warren Beymer
of Columbia school, loaded on
the buses and went to the Hynd
Ranch (Butterby Flats).
See Hors Shoeing
Here they saw a demonstra
tion of horse shoeine. and wit
nessed some of the ordeals that
a calf must co throuch to keep
him hale and hearty. Including
vaccination, branding. Ewine
Hvnd cave the youngsters a des
cription of the operation and
demonstrated, with help from
others, how the cattle are han
dled. His wife. Boa. branded
some of the cattle, and strange
lv enough, it was some of the
Morrow county girls who hid
their eyes when they saw the
calves fret from this uncomfort
able operation.
Herb Hvnd and Jack Hynd al
so participated and talked of
the big ranch operation, show
ing their well which produces
rxl gallons per minute, irriga
tion system and other points.
Following the visit to the
Hvnd Ranch, the kids went to
the homes of their hosts for the
night but they were back at it
bright and early Saturday.
View Nelson Ranch
The tour resumed at the wheat
ranch of Mr. and Mrs. D. O.
Nelson at 9:45 a.m. Here the
visitors were exposed to the
combines, tractors, rod weeders
and other equipment needed on
such a ranch. All equipment and
buildings- here were in immac
ulate condition.
They got to climb on the
equipment and watch it oper
ate. Delwin. like other ranchers
on the tour, was an excellent
host and gave the youngsters
much interesting information.
Many took c o p I ou s notes
throughout the tour.
After enjoying a can of pop
each with the compliments of
the Nelsons, the youngsters
loaded on buses again to view
bird guzzlers and conservation
practices on the ranch.
It seemed that the commit
tee went to all lengths to
make the tour impressive, for
as the buses rolled across the j
wheat land, a big deer ran par
allel to them or perhaps a mile
to give the kids another treat.
But it wasn't staged.
At the North Lexington ele
vator, where Riley Munkers, as
sistant manager of Morrow
County Grain Growers was host.
the youngsters had an opportu- '
nity to run their hands through
a truckload of wheat. Munkers !
loaded a truck to show them !
how it is done.
Lunch at Lexingotn 1
At the Cutsforth ranch at Lex
ington, interest centered on a
big rubber-tired tractor and
another combine with Pat Cuts
forth as host. The kids then
walked to the Lexington Grange
hall, where ladies of the grange,
headed by Mrs. Norman Nelson,
had tables set up for their sack
lunches. The women furnished
punch for the youngsters and
coffee for the adults on the tour.
Tables were centered with his
torical articles to add interest
for the youngsters.
This refreshing stop was en
livened, too, when the young
sters listened to The Day
dreams" of lone while they ate,
hearing music in the modern
teen-age manner. In the combo
are Jim Swanson, Chuck Nel
son. Keith Nelson. Neal Chris
topherson. Chris Lovgren and
Pat McElligott.
Back to the Cutsforth ranch,
the tourists listened to Paul
Hansen explain airplane weed
spraying, and the aviator gave
a demonstration of air spraying,
coming in low over the crop
and buzzing the kids.

Last stop of the tour was at
the Lindsay Ranch where Lar

cellent firsthand lecture on a
feeder cattle operation, showing
them the cattle in the differ
ent pens, operation of the feed
ers, grinding of the feed, and
other points of interest.
The hosts here also served
punch to the kids, and this stop
proved a fitting highlight to a
long eventful day for the young
sters. There was no Saturday night
party this year, since the com
mittee felt that most of the
youngsters get too tired on their
busy tour schedule. They spent
the evening and Sunday morn
ing with host families before
boarding the bus on the return
trip to Portland.
Probably one of the most en
joyable parts of the tour for the
visitors was the time they spent
with the host families. One
youth got to shoot a .22 for the
lirst time. He banged away at
a tomato can. and took the can
home as a souvenir.
The rortlanders roeei v e d
many souvenirs from local bus
iness firms, from the Wool
Growers, from Wheat Growers
and others. ,
Many worked on the commu
te sponsoring the tour, includ
ing Mr. and Mrs. Louis Carl
son. Mr. and Mrs. Dick McEl
ligott, Gail McCarty, county ex
tension agent: Jack Grossnick
le. David Potter. Everett Hoi
stein, school administrators;
Robert Byrd and Jerrv Martin,
teachers of Irrigon and lone;
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jepsen; and
those previously mentioned.
Coordinated with similar tours
in Wasoo, Gilliam and Sher
man counties, the event was
arranged with the cooperation
of the Portland school system :
with Dr. Ed Shannon, -i ll club
extension agent in Portland as
tour coordinator.
Sponsors here were the coun
ty extension service, the Mor- ;
row county Wheatgrowers and
the countv schools.
Cooperators included the Mor-
row County Grain Growers, the

Power Citation
(Continued from page 1)
"Columbia Power now has
close to 1.UO0 meters served win
Columbia river power over trans
mission lines owned by the co
operative. "Columbia Power has sold to
its fe-ver than 1.000 members,
power using appliances and
equipment in a volume now ap
proaching one million dollars.
The co-op, small as it is, now
maintains a full-time irrigation
engineer and two full time ap

"In an area where a stock
man's productivity and income
depend in considerable measure
on the cost of pumping water
on hay and pasture land, Col
umbia Power's activity, under
Mr. Spain's guidance, has in
creased incomes and broadened
the tax base by hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
"Mr. Spain has shown an un
usually sensitive skill in identi

ity he has chosen to serve for
the past 14 years. He has used
this ability in drawing upon the
community's human resources.
Far from labor markets, his line
crews are composed wholly of
local young men to whom he
has taught the necessary skills.
He met his initial tasks by press

has encouraged cooperative em

ment program. Mrs. Georg-' had
notified them that provision had
been made in the school district
budget for SS.tVX) for matching
funds for the local share of im
proving the street extension.
Water Too CheapT
Supt. Groshens asked the coun
cil to consider the irrigation
rates on city water. He expressed
the feeling that big users of city
water reached a bracket where
their foes do not cover costs at
UV per thousand gallons. Among
such users are the schools and
cemetorv. he said. No action
was taken on the matter at tins
time.
Groshens also told the council
that he had let a bid for roofing
for the city hall on two sides.
Citv crews will do the work of
repairing the roof. Center section
was replaced some tinv. ago.
Reports on Haxard
Report from Fire Chief Charter
Kuggles was read after he had
inspected the Lamorie property
on Linden Wav. A neighbor had
complained of the unsightly con
dition of the property and felt
that it was a hazard. Chief Rug
gles said that grass is tall at
the place and could become a
hazard when it dries. He will
be asked to keep a check on the
properly.
Commercial Fish
Interests Rapped
In Chamber Talk
"There is no longer room for
commercial fishermen on the in
land waterways in the state of
Oregon."
So said Frank Garred of Gar
red's Marina. Cmatilla. when he
sixike to the Heppner-Morrow
Countv Chamber of Commerce
Monday on behalf of sports fish
ermen. Garred. who also operates a !
guide service for fishermen, said.
"I find each year that it becomes
harder and harder to satisfy the
person who comes to get steel
head." Depletion of the fish can be
laid to three causes, he said
dams on the Columbia, pollut
ion and commercial fishermen.
He discounted the first two.
"Half of the fish were gone
before Bonneville dam was built,
so we can't blame it on the
dams," Garred said. "Gillnets
take 9tn of the fish, and we
squawk because the Indians
take the other 10r; ."
The Umatilla man charged
that commercial interests gave
false impressions in their last
campaign to defeat the sports
fishing bill and said that every
one of their contentions has prov
ed false.
In checking the Imnaha River
last year. Garred said that he
found less than one spawn per
mile in 40 miles.
"In four years we'll be fort
unate to get 5K) pounds in the
Columbia River," he declared.
The speaker minimized the im
portance of the commercial fish
ing industry, said that it would
have been a good thing if the
commercial canneries had all
moved to Washington as they
contended would be necessary if
the last bill presented the public
had been voted, and said that
revived sports fishing could
bring many thousands of dol
lars to Oregon from tourists,
Garred was introduced by
Max iiarri'-
Dave Potter, Morrow County
school superintendent, was ir a
Portland hospital for treatment
last Thursday as a checkup fol
lowing a kidney operation sev
eral months ago. A second op
eration will be delayed until
summer, he said. On Wednes
day he attended a conference in
Portland on school instruction
and on Friday he worked on
teacher housing for Riverside
High school and interviewed
prospective teachers for the
county. On Saturday he went to
Eugene to visit his son, Dick,
and also interviewed more
