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

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

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.

Padrow said that a tempera

the place of Mavor Rosewall
who had served as president
until he assumed the position
of mayor following the death of
Mayor Al Lamb.

to construct a new water main
along the west slope of town

and Sunday, June 18 and 19,
but it will be only for two days.

The arrangement was made
through the courtesy of Jack
Van Winkle, owner.
POWEH OFF DURING
TRANSMISSION CHANGE
Electrical power was off for
about a half hour early Thurs
day morning because crews of
Columbia Basin Electric Cooper
ative were changing transmis
sion lines, Harry Youne, man
ager, said. A period of 2i hours
was contemplated for the
change, but the cooperative
switched Heppner to the Con
don line which held the outage

a neutral temperature. He also
described an avocado as "round
and fully packed but almost
tasteless."
"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.
Miss French received a one
year state tuition and partial
fee remission scholarship to
Oregon State University, a cer-
tuicate of excellence awarded
by the Dads' club of Oregon
State, and a Reader's Digest sub
