Blood Bank Falls Far Short of Goal Those who worked hard to make thu Monday visit of the )loo(lmi)t)ih here a success were j. discouraged group at the end "f the day. Only 50 pints of blood were taken towards the quota of 110 Pints, and this in the lace of the fact that it had been well pub Ikizod thai the Increased quota was needed partly because of the demand for blood in Viet nam. Mrs. Orvllle (Hnrbnrat Cuts forth, blood program chairman tr the Morrow county chapter, said that 53 responded to the call lo give blood, and all hut five were nlile to give a pint. Telephone committees had called nest of the names in the nhone book, but the response was illscouniglng, Mrs, Cut.sforth said that she is at n loss to know why people did not respond to meet the quo ta. She expressed appreciation It those who did take the time and intike the effort to (jive, as well as to the many who helped staff the blood drawing. She said a list of these will be pub lished next week. Another visit of the bloodmo bile Is scheduled here for De cember 5. Better results are hop ed for at this time.

The accident occurred near Ceglla's Wrecking Yard, and John Ceglla, owner, who was across the street from his yard at the time, heard the impact and saw the girl's lunch bucket lly through the air. He did not see the accident, however, the police chief said. There were ap parently no witnesses, and no one could say exactly what won both the Champion Beef Showman and Grand Champion FFA beef animal In last year's show, too. At the same time, 4-H club members from Morrow county were making a good showing at the annual event, according to a telephone call from Gall Mc carty, county extension agent, from The Dalles Wednesday.

Red Cross Seeks $1300 in Annual Fund Drive Here Goal of $1300 is sought by the Morrow county chapter, Ameri can Red Cross, in Its belated 1966 fund drive, Herman Winter, ac ting chapter chairman, said Tuesday. The drive is normally conduc ted in Murch but was delayed this year and Is just now get ting underway. Larrry Punk is county drive chairman and reports that $300 has alreidy been received to wards the goal. Organization for personal solicitation has been made in part of the county, but some of the campaign will be conducted by mail. Those not otherwise contacted are asked to mail their contri butions to Prock at the Bank of Eastern On gon, Heppncr. A special appeal is made to those in Boardman and Irrigon ureas where little has been done in solicitation for the drive in the past, Winter said. Those in these axeas are among those receiving benefits from the local chapter, he add ed. Winter snid that the county chapter will receive some 40'" of the money collected in the drive, and the remainder will g j to the national organization. None of the funds kept locally go for administration, he pointed out. From the local share of funds, the chapter proposes to buy a blood bank refrigerator for Pio neer Memorial hospital. This will cost $633, he said. Winter said that two recent instances of local services Der- formed by the Red Cross were bringing home men from service in emergency situations, one from overseas and another from a point in the States. Also, the chapter helped two other fam ilies In overseas service. Through the blood program of the Red Cross, blood la available in hospitals at $7 per Dint Prl- vate blood costs $65 per pint, he said. Hospital charges for ad ministering the blood are added In each case. Thus, the Red Cross program makes blood available to those in need at very little cost in comparison to the private system. ! i t . i Class of '66 Gets Many Awards At Commencement Exercises Nearly all aeatinir RDaeo was taken In the Hennner Hlah naslum lajit Thursday night a nundreda came to wltnww the rommpncpmont exercie for the Clam of 19C6.

"We need to ask the right questions ... we need to be lleve what Is worth believing in, ne saia, "we need to under stand that dedication Is not naive." Padrow said that a tempera ture of 70 degrees leaves one council at the meeting, taking the place of Mavor Rosewall who had served as president until he assumed the position of mayor following the death of Mayor Al Lamb.

"If you want to be a 70-degree avocado, that Is your wish, but it la no way to live." Padrow offered "three gifts" as guides to the students: 1. For the free man there must be the gift of laughter. "Not the hee-hee laughter but the ha ha laughter." 2. There must be the gift of honest emotion. "No great work is ever achieved without enthus lasm. The honest emotion says, They will not stop me.'" 3. There must be the eift of clinging to the unreasonable. According to aerodynamics the bumble bee cannot fly. Happily, no one has ever told the bum ble bee that." The speaker concluded by tel ling the students that he has learned that "there are some things I cannot understand but must accept on faith." In her valedictory address. Miss French traced the progress the class of 1966 through the four years and stressed Its friendly atmosphere. She men tioned how the class, as soph omores, helped initiate" the new Heppner High building. Gratitude to the teachers, the school and the community were expressed in her talk. Brown, in presenting the sal utatory, said that graduation from high school is not the honor today that it was 10 to 30 years ago. A high school education will not buy what it did when our parents graduated, he said. He said that the class of 1966 will leave with each to choose his own pathway, and each will ask the question, "W ill I be able to Stand TalP?" "Stand Tall" Is the class motto.
