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. "My feelings of
self confidence, self respect and
worth have returned. We feel
strongly about the abilities
rather than the disabilities of
MinH nonnlfl nnH are finding
more and more reasons for be
lieving this way."
Her husband, Jerry, left for
Vnroa three weeks
following their marriage. He is
now officially stationed at jbk
land and attached to Travis
apr wnrklncr in the armv pro
cessing section, doing the pro
cessing of men returning from
overseas.

First National Bank
Proposes Dividend
The board of directors of First
National Bank of Oregon has
proposed the payment of a liv
per cent stock dividend, accord
ing to an announcement by
Ralph J. Voss, president.
The proposal, which is subject
to the approval of the Comp.
troller of the Currency, will be
submitted to the stockholders of
the bank at their annual meet
ing to be held on February 27,
1968. If approved, the stock div
idend will be paid on or about
April 1, 1968 to shareholders of
record at the close of business
on March 15, 1968.
Voss stated that it Is antici
pated there will be no change
in the present regular annual
dividend rate of $1.80 per share
after payment of the 124 per
cent stock dividend. The cash
dividend on the increased
shares, therefore, will be the

will be the fourth to be distrib
uted by the bank in the past
seven years.
