Three Arrested On Various Counts Fund-Raising To Share Help With Red Cross State police and Morrow coun ty deputy sheriff arrested three men in this area at different times last week on separate charges of passing bad checks, burglary and larceny. Gordon William Nichols, 23, Dayville, was arrested January 23 on a warrant from Gilliam The American Red Cross gets 85 of Us funds from the Unit ed Fund campaign, and this is a "true and lull partnership," said George PInnell, Yakima, a member of the National Board of Governors, American Red Cross, at a luncheon meeting last Tuesday in Pendleton. But Red Cross workers some times forect about this partner ship," he said. "They leave all the fund-raising to the United Fund.' March, the traditional Red Cross month, is being given up by those chapters whose funds are raised through a United Fund campaign, said PInnell. "During this montn. the Kca Cross should thank the public for Its support through the United Fund. We should talk about our men in Vietnam, and what the Red Cross does for them." There is no other agency to depend on in time of war or disaster, said Pinnell. The mission of the Red Cross, spelled out by congressional or der, is this: it is an Instrument of the United States in its in ternational obligations in relief and communications for our Armed Forces . i . a system of national and International re lief In disasters." The speaker, who has been closely identified with the Red Cross and the United Fund in Yakima area, said promotion by volunteers during Red Cross Month also helps the United Fund campaign in the autumn, People will support something better when they know now their contributions are used, he said. This is why United Fund campaigns are successful. The i mil m rut wo in . countv bv State Police Officer Curtis Culp and Deputy Sheriff public knows exactly where the Dean Gilman. Nichols was ac-' money is spent, cused on a bad check charge-, Pinnell pointed out that the and was returned to Gilliam county. Also on January 23, Lee Stone, 25, Heppner, was arrested on a burglary charge after an inves tigation by Deputy Gilman Stone was accused of entering a shed on the ranch of Judge C. C. Carmichael in Blackhorse canyon and taking 200 gallons of gasoline, a pump and a lack. When Stone appeared before Lowell Gribble, justice of the peace, the charge was reduced to petty larceny. Stone pleaded guilty, was sentenced to three months In jail and will be re quired to make restitution of the property. He was 4 taken to the Umatilla county jail to start serving the sentence. Wade Wilbur Warren, 23, Heppner, was arrested on Janu ary 25 on a charge of petty lar ceny on a Umatilla county war rant for allegedly stealing gas oline in Pilot Rock.

Red Cross can never depend on a standing emergency fund, be cause "this is an emergency or ganization that acts when the need is there. And we don't know when or where that need will occur." Every GI in Vietnam is being supported bv the Red Cross said Pinnell. The Red Cross is responsible to them. Joe Pope of Pendleton, volun teer program consultant in fund raising, was master of ceremo nies at the luncheon. Attending were volunteers from Benton- Franklin, Garfield, and Walla Walla counties in Washington; Baker, Wallowa, Union, Morrow, and Umatilla counties. Mrs. Barbara Cutsforth, Red Cross volunteer from Heppner repre sented Morrow county. V'!.

DOES WELFARE TAKE CARE OF RETARDED PEOPLE WHO BELONG IN INSTITUTIONS 1 Many retarded people are cap able of living in their home . abled? community it public weliare can provide for their support. This is usually less costly to the tax payer and is a far more satis factory arrangement from the point of view of the retarded person and his family. Public welfare employees are hired through State Civil Serv ice. Thev must pass a compet itive examination, after which they are individually Interview ed to determine whether they have qualities and interests they need in order to do an ef fective job for public welfare. I HAVE A DISABILITY WHICH PREVENTS MY FOLLOWING MY FORMER OCCUPATION. CAN I GET AID TO THE DIS- WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC WELFARE? Public welfare is a program established by law to provide for people who cannot take care of themselves without help. The major groups of people who de pend upon welfare for money to live on and medical care are the aged, the disabled and children. Besides financial help, public weitare provides counsel ling for some individuals and familes who have problems re lated to everyday living. Wher ever possible, this counselling is directed toward rehabilitation and toward helping people care for themselves as far as their capacity permits. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE PEO PLE TO WORK FOR WELFARE? Not unless your disability Is such that it prevents you from engaging in any gainful em ployment. If you are able to do some type of work by which you can support yourself, you would be expected to accept this type of work, even if it were not in your usual field. Need scratch pads?

Fall precipitation has been about 86 percent of the aver age, according to the U. S. Weather Bureau. Winter preelp itatlon, up to January l, has been only 68 percent of the ave rage. Watershed soils under the snowpack picked up some mois ture late in December but re main drier than List year. These soils are now only 70 percent of capacity In moisture content. Storage In Cold Springs res ervoir was about 12,100 acre feet on January first, far below the 24,200 acre feet on hand one year ago. McKay reservoir held bout 12,000 acre feet the first of January this year compared with 11,300 acre feet last year, but the usual storage on this date is about 19,900 acre feet. Much above average stream- flow will be needed next spring and summer if adequate water supplies are to be available. This will require much above average accumulation of snow in the remaining winter months. Statewide the outlook for 19CS water supplies in Oregon varies from poor to fair. Oregon reams have not yet recovered from the long hot and dry summer and fall. Rainfall, snowpack and soil moisture con-J dltions are all below or much below average.
