Karen Richards, reporter Christmas Message From Former Teacher Reports Eye Illness Among Christmas messages received by friends here from former Heppner residents was one received by Mr. and Mrs. Kav Avers from Mrs. Jerome A. Milholiin, the fomer Diannc Stone, who was a high school teacher here prior to her mur riage In July, 1966. The past year has been one of considerable readjustment for Mrs. Milholiin, who was strick en with acute eye hemorrhag es at Christmas time, 1966, and has been under nearly constant medical care since. Mrs. Milholiin underwent a laser beam operation on one eye at the University of California Medical School last January. She reports that the operation was successful but that she now has so much scar tissue that she has only side vision in one eye. "My vision is 20200 in the right eye, the cut-off for being legally blind. There are several blacked out areas from scar tis sue and I have lost some detail vision as well as distance vis Ion. The eve problem is a re sult of diabetes, and the doctor feels that the many emotional things I experienced the prev ious year were factors that caus ed my problem." Last May she began a six months course at the Orienta tion Center for the Blind in Al Ko.r foiif onH ctiirlipH Braille uniijr, -"-'-.i " and Abacus, preparing herself for total Diinaness, in me evem that it comes.

Hunting, Fishing Licenses Ready Now for Year 1968 Outdoorsmen are reminded that 1968 licenses are now re quired for hunting and fishing. Licenses may be purchased at all license dealers and the Game Commission's Portland headquarters, 1634 S. W. Alder. A new license fee schedule will be in effect for 1968 which will cost anglers a little more than last year. Hunting license fees remain the same, but a rise in fees is scheduled for 1969. The general season angling license wil cost fishermen $6.00. The combination hunting and fishing license is $9.00. Nonres idents may purchase a season fishing license for $15.00, while the vacation angler may pur chase a 10-day angling license for $7.00. The daily angling li cense is $1.50. No change was made in the salmon-steelhead license which remains at $1.00. Some excellent opportunities are available for both hunters and fishermen, with the steel head season in ful swing through the remainder of the winter months, and the water fowl season and eastern Oregon r-hnkar and ouail season ex tending into January.
