At Annual Meet
(Continued from page 1)
7 - minute talk. Her theme
broiietii out the relationship he
twern God. man and the soil,
us well as ihe stewardship
needed In caring for the soil.
John Bauer of Portland, man
ai:er of North I'nclflc Grain
Growers, Inc., discussed mark
ets In his principal address of
the evening,
"The Northwest hits u unUue
narrow and shallow market," he
Mild, "and It tends to over
re. ii I "
Of the IM.I crop of l.'iK ,000,000
bushels of white wheul In the
northwest. 7.9 million bushels,
or 5.7, were milled; 17.645,000
bushels, or 12.7, of the crop
went for feed and seed; and
carryover wus 18,270,000 bush
els. The rest went Into export,
totaling 0H, Bauer said. Of this
35.H million bushels went to
Japan, Taiwan and other coun
tries of the Orient, und 58,840,.
MX) bushels went Into conces
sional sale under Public Law
4X0 to India, Tukistun, Korea
anil other countries.
Dollar export sales, Public
Ijiw 480 and carryover wheat
are niatters of prime concern to
Hie grower, he said.
"The Department of Agricul
ture controls Hl of the white
wheat murket," Bauer said. "The
Department of Agriculture Is
composed of dedicated people
and they're trying their damn
dest to make It work."
He added, "We'd like to get
them out of the business, but
how do votl get them out of It
when they control 81 of the
market?"
Coopt Buy 80
Bauer said that cooiieratlves
buy more than 80 of the white
wheat sold Into markets in the
Pacific Northwest.
He categorized those In the
market as "bears," who want
prices down, and "bulls," who
want prices up, Among the
"bears" are flour mills, Jopa
nese trading companies, and
feeders. Growers on the other
hand ore "bullish."
"But a big part of the mar
ket Is made up of swingers.
They don't cure If the market
Is going up or going down If
they are on the right side,"
Bauer declared.
He discussed international.
traders and their lmortanec.
"Swingers (speculators) make
the murket often times," he
said, adding that wheat price
swung from $1.50 to $1.96 per
bushel this year.
"You formed Morrow County
Gintn Growers 36 years ago be
cause you wanted to stop the
swing, Bauer stated. "It can
swing up too far too fust."
He iKilnted out how the $1.96
last year broke the market and
the price dropped to $1.65 In
two weeks.
"What vou are looking for Is
stability. You wanted a voice In
the market."
Long Winter Predicted
In looking to the future and
"what's going to happen," Bauer
said. "I don't know, but I can
tell you some of the factors. It
has been a long fall, and It's
going to be a lot longer win
ter." Harvest for the current year
went tip to between 144,000,000
and 152,000,000 bushels, the
speaker said. He told of strife
In India which has curtailed the
market there and said that there
will not be much more program
ming for 30 to 60 days.
Bailor said he expects the
1966 world crop to be greater,
but world needs on cash sales
may not be as great.
The North Pacific manager
pointed out during his talk that
Morrow Countv Grain Growers,
Inc., is one of 50 cooperatives
that form North Pacific Grain
Growers.
McCurdy Toastmaster
Manager McCurdy, who was
toastmastcr during the course
of the evening and kept proceed
ings at a lively pace, reviewed
the balance sheet and operating
report. Current assets are listed
ut $326,658.6-1 and total assets
are $1,425,104.32. Net worth to
tals $1,363,142.99.
Operating report snows net
income for the year ending May
31, 1966, down to $3,963.93, low
est figure for many years. This
Is due to three factors, McCur
dy said: 1. Commodity Credit
Corporation no longer lias any
storage in country houses in the
Northwest. 2. MCGG charges for
handling and storage have not
changed for 20 years. 3. Govern
ment programs have taken ac
reage out of production. With
government changes, this will
Increase again, he said.
Two directors, Walter Jacobs
and Tad Miller, were reelected
for 3-year terms and Barton
Clark was elected also for a 3
year term to succeed Elmer
Palmer, who requested that he
not be considered for reelection.
Tresldcnt Jacobs exten d e d
thanks to Palmer for his serv
ice on the board for six years.
Seven associate directors were
elected for 1-year terms. They
include Orval Matheny, Keith
Rea, A. R. Crawford, Robert Ma
honey, Robert Jones, Roger Pal
mer and Lee Palmer. Report of
the nominating committee was
given by Delwin Nelson, chair
man. At a directors' meeting fol
lowing the general meeting all
officers were reelected for the
coming year, including Jacobs
as president, Lewis Halvorson
as vice president, Larry Lind
say, secretary, McCurdy as manager-treasurer
and Riley Munk
ers, assistant manager.
Lamb, Graves Honored

observed In memory of Al Lamb,
manager from 1952 until his
death In 1966, and to John
Graves who was fatally strick
en by a heart attack at the 1965
annual meeting, as recorded In
In the minutes read by Lind
say. Jacobs also reported to the
membership that the cooperat
ive has purchased two large
semi trucks from Inland Navi
gation Co., which has quit the
trucking business. Cost of the
trucks was $8500 each, with
trailers, and these will be used
to haul grain from the MCGG
elevators.
He said that the directors, af
ter considerable deliberation,
had decided to "go Into the
trucking business" for them
selves, and with the hope of
making some profit on the ven
ture. Jambs told of the necessity of
procuring a new manager fol
lowing Lamb's death, saying,
"Kortufiutely we didn't have to
look long, since we had a man
well qualified, experienced and
respected In the grain trade in
Harlan McCurdy."
On the latter's recommenda
Hon. a man already employed
in the organization, Klley Munk
ers, was promoted to assistant
manager.
Cooperative Said Key
"Our cooperative," said Jac
obs, "Is one of the keys to this
community." He said that it
provides Jobs, supports youth
activities, serves the ranchers,
ann is a tug taxpayer.
Don Robinson was presented
n plaque by Jacobs for the
grains sweepstakes award at the
countv fair, and Robinson re
sponded by saying that it might
seem surprising that a cattle
man would win the wheat
award, but attributed his suc
cess to use of fertilizer on the
crop.
Sharing in the 10 door prizes,
each consisting of a package of
the 411 champion beef which
was raised by Gwen Drake, dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas
Drake, were Bob Mahoney, Dr.

Parks, Football
Oregon State football, county
parks and Christmas Opening
shared the discussion interest at
Heppner Morrow County Cham
ber of Commerce meeting Mon
day with President Harley
Young conducting the meeting.
Scott McMurdo of Corvallls, a
guest, wrs called upon for an
Impromptu talk and discussed
OSU football, the big victory
over Washington and the spark
Ignited In the team by Coach
Dee Andros.
"But they have a saying
around Corvallls that when you
want to learn about Oregon
State football, go to Heppner,"
he said, reflecting some of the
enthusiasm for the sport no
ticed here.
The matter of parks came up
when it was announced that
the county will receive Federal
grants for use at Cutsforth and
Anson Wright Memorial parks.
Countv Judge Paul Jones said
that he had not yet been advis
ed that the grants were approv
ed, even though news releases
from the Department of Interior
had been received to that ef
fect bv the Gazette-Times.
Orville Cutsforth, chairman
of the parks commission, said
that feeling Is now that the
county may be able to do the
necessary Improvement on parks
within the budget without form
ing a parks district as had pre
viously been planned.
Matching money from the iea-
eral government may also be
forthcoming for the year 1967
68. Cutsforth said that at the
start of doc season, he counted
31 trailers In and near Cutsforth
park. Plans have been started
for five trailer pads to accom
modate 10 trailers. Garbage dis
posal is posing one of the big
gest problems and it may be
necessary to buy some acreage
to provide a garbage dump.

essarily hurt attendance.
In Carpenters mimeographed
presentation were five proposals
that could be worked out for
the Greater Oregon league.
Dr. Tibbies moved that Mor
row county's representatives to
the forthcoming meetings be
instructed to vote only for one
of two planscither No. 2 or
No. 3. The number two plan
would make a western division
composed of Wahtonka, Mad
ras, Sherman, Heppner and Pi
lot Rock. (The Rockets will come
back to A-2 from the B class
In which they have been play
ing since last year). The east
ern division under proposal 2
would include Enterprise, Nys
sa, Vale, Burns and John Day.
There would be no overnight
trips for Heppner under this
plan. Schools now listed as fa
voring the proposal are those
In the west Wahtonka, Madras,
Sherman, Heppner and Pilot
Rock.
Under plan 3. the lineup
would be the same for east and
west with the exception that
Enterprise would go to the west
Instead of he east, in is would
mean six teams in the west
and four in the east. There
would be no overnight trips for
Heppner in this plan.
Dr. Tibbies' motion passed
unanimously.
Proposal 1, not looked upon
with favor here but desired by
Burns, John Day and Enterprise,
would be a round-robin sched
ule of all teams throughout the
district.
Proposal 4 would put Hepp
ner in the eastern division with
Pilot Rock, Vale and Nyssa,
while all others would go to
the west. Proposal 5 would have
Wahtonka, Madras, Sherman,
Heppner, John Day and Burns
in the west with Pilot Rock,
Enterprise, Nyssa and Vale in
the east.

board authorized a $2074 con-
trait with a Pasco firm for sand
blasting the pool and refinlshlng
the walls. A sum of $1500 had
been allowed In trie budget for
the purpose, as explained by
Louis Carlson, chairman of the
lone advisory board, In an ap
pearance Tuesday night How
ever, all previous bids have been
much too high.
The bid from Pasco Is by far
the lowest, and will require vol-,
untcer help from residents of the
lone area. School custodian will
do the painting, and volunteer
labor has been offered for clean
ing Joints In the pool, Carlson
said.
The board decided that the
some $500 above the . amount
budgeted be taken from other
Items budgeted for lone in order
to get the Job done. Principal
Harold Beggs produced a letter
from the state authority threat
ening withholding of license to
operate the pool if the needed
work was not done.
Principal Beggs also called at
tention to the fact that lone
needs a new score clock for bas
ketball games and said that a
company had submitted a price
of $475 for a suitable replace-
ment of the oresent scoreboard.
The board considered ways and
means of financing the clocx,
since it was not included in the
budget, and authorized Supt.
Potter and Principal Beggs to
