Abundant Foods
Items Increased;
To Help Diets
Low Income people in Morrow
ciiuiiiv Mmn hnuld have a Dei
ter balanced diet, accordins to
County JikIko Paul Jones, who
Ik also chairman of the Welfare
Commission. It results from
recent Increase In the number
of food Itcmx available from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
for the abundant food distrlbu
twin nrocrnm.
These foods nre Intended to
Imnrove nutrition for these peo
pie, not an a complete diet,
Jones said. Many recipient de
pond on the abundant foods for
H Mihstantial share of their ba-
hie dietary needs due to wel
fare food standards in Oregon
liavlne fallen so far behind to
day's price levels. These food
t-tandurds have not been raised
f ince 1953 and a request for an
Increase Is being prepared in
Salem for presentation to the
next legislature.
It should be remembered,
Jones said, that the old, the dls
iihlcd and the little children
cannot work. The needs of only
three employable persons (con
sidered marcinnlly so) are pres
ently receiving emeruency pub
lic assistance in Morrow coun
ty. Many families who Just need
tomnorarv he d until a jod op
ens up can eot by for a short
time on abundant foods with
out having to apply for welfare.
The Welfare Commission be
lieves caseloads would be high
er if the food program weren't
available, he said.
Certification for Abundant
Foods is made through the wel
fare ofiee, Gilliafm & Blsbee
lUiilding, Heppner. Although
other resources are sometimes
necessarily taken into consider
ation concerning eligibility, the

S221.00, 4 persons $258.00, 5

.S328.00, 7 persons $357.00, 8
persons $386.00, 9 persons
$111.00, 10 persons $426.00.
Above 10 the income will be in
creased by $25.00 for each per
son. Cash reserve is $500.00 for
a 1 adult household and above
1 adult the reserve is $1000.00.
The regular distribution day is

cently replaced Mrs. Nancy Dix

State are scheduled beyond
1978.
"I have one open date for
1978," Barratt said. "Youngsteni
who are now first graders in
school will be playing on sched
ules already made.
Basketball games are sched
uled three years In advance.
The amiable athletic director
said that -Oregon State has had
a minimum of racial problems.
unlike some other universities."
We trv to treat white and
black athletes exactly alike," he
said.
An Innovation that will be
Marled soon will be an Oregon
State boys' camp for youngsters
10 to 15 In the summer time
Sumo 2H0 boys will participate,

Advance ticket sales for en
OSU football season are normal
ly around $100,000 by September
. This year, 5115,000 had been
received after the first 30 days
and the preseason sale will
probably be double a normal
year, Barratt said.
In answer to a question, he
said that OSU will not put on
the "Astro turf" on Its football
field, since it doesn't get the
wear and tear of some fields.
It is being used in Seattle but
77 high school games were play
ed on this field, he said. The
synthetic turf Is very expensive
and is applied In strips, being
zipicd together.
However, new turf has been
applied to the Oregon State
field, being grown elsewhere
and brought In strips. It takes
root immediately.
Tarp Purchased
A $17,000 tarpaulin has been
bought to cover the field at
Parker stadium. Some USC sup
porters moaned about the wet
field after the Trojans lost to
the Beavers there last season
Barratt said that the tarp will
be ot benefit only one day
Fridays because good field
drainage will take care of any
rains coming by Thursday of
the week of a game. And on
Saturday, work commences on
preparing the field, liming it
and doing other work by 6 a.m

eyes on one or two Heppner
Hign at metes.
Barratt expressed bset wishes

High backfield ace who is an
alternate for the Shrine A-2 and
B East-West All-Star game, and
said that he hopes Randy will

relations, will

scries of article on opinions

cent questionnaire presented

QuMtion 8 Becau th var
ious school activities conflict to
torn extent we htrv schedul
ed soms practices at night Do
you favor this procedure?
Parents' answers: Yes 24. no
8, Students' answers: Yes 17, no
1.
Parents' comments:
"Yes, If practice are not late
and do not conflict with home
work."
"Occasionally, Just so It Isn't
night after night."
"In these schedules, trv and
remember the country kids who
live out a long way."
"No night practice."
"When you live 27 miles out
It is a problem."
"I do not favor any practice
on week-ends. Definitely not on
Sunday or Sunday night."
"No, there Is a trend to over
emphasize extracurricular ac
tiviiies."
No, high school kids can t co
from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m."
I believe two basketball
teams are sufficient."
"No, but don't know what else
can be done. (Build another
pym)."
Students' comments:
"When not carried to extreme.
10:30 should be the limit for
such extra-curricular activities."
"If the kids are willing to sive
their time, they should let
them."
Question 10 Do you favor a
pop machine for students?
Parents: Yes 33. no 11. Stu
dents: Yes 20. no 0.
Parents' Comments:
"This is a good excuse to skip
a hot lunch."
"No, there are some students
who don't have the money to
spend in these machines. And
where the students go to town
and have the money, let them
buy their pop and candy there."
"No, I believe students are
eating and drinking these in
stead of eating a good lunch."
"No, water is a bettor bever
age and our supply Is of ex
cellent quulity."
"Yes, not completely In agree,
ment with tins, but realize
children must beKln to accept
responsibilities."
Students' comments:
"I get thirsty. (Pop tastes bet
ter than water)."
"Yes, if they don't throw the
bottles and Junk around the
student lounge and the halls."
"Yes, as long as any messes
are cleaned up."
"Yes, often times your throat
Is dry after classes and who
wants a drink of water? As long
as the students clean up the
lounge wnen they spill the pop
1 feel it Is O. K."
Question 11 Do you favor a
candy machine for student?
Parents: Yes 32. no 11. Stu
dents: Yes 20, no 0.
Parents' comments:
"An apple machine would be
nice, too."
"It is nice that the students
have this freedom."
"No, they should learn to eat
lunch provided. High calorie
snacks are not needed by most."
Students' comments:
"As long as candy is only
eaten at breaks and at lunch
and not during classes."
I get hungry, too. (Lunch
Isn't enough)."
'As long as the kids respect
it. and if not. I think it should
be taken away for awhile any
way.
"Both the pop and candy ma
chines provide students with op
portunities to obtain nourish
ment during the hours before
and after lunch. It is also a
good social center for students
meeting other than lunch hours,
which are too short."
Question 12 A number of
students smoke, some with the
knowledge of their parents, oth
ers without (A person can le
gally smoke when he becomes
18 years oi age). Do you favor
very strict no smoking policy
on the school grounds with the
penalty of suspension for any
student who violates this policy?
Parents: Yes 34', no
dents: Yes 11, no 8.
Parents' comments:
"Yes, I would like to see this
strongly enforced."
"No, If parents are observing
their children they should know
that they are smoking. This
should not have to be up to the
school to inform unless they are
leaving class to do it. I don't
feel that suspension from school
la the answer. I feel that there
should be suitable punishment.
There is a lot of work that could
be done on their own time that
would be more effective."
"Yes. smoking should be han
dled the same as regulations
prohibiting the use of alcohol."
"No. but I do think parents
should b? notified."
"No, this is really driving
smoking underground."
"A strict policy Is not out of
line. The school officials should
be exiMfted to enfor the no
smoking policy on the school
grounds, and parents should
back them up."
"This policy should be enforc
ed on all the school grounds.
There Is nothing more disgust
ing than to see students smok
ing at the school door."
Students' comments:
"Yes, but NO to the suspen
sion."
"No. if you are legally old
enough to smoke and be draft
ed they should be allowed to
smoke."
No, what good would
pension do?? It is up
a sus
to the
parents and children."
Question 13 Should the par
ents be notified If their son or
daughter Is observed smoking?
1'urents: Yes 3!, no 3. Stu
dents: Yes 11, no 4.
Parents' comments:
"Only If on school grounds."
"No, I can smell, too."
"A parent can do nothing
without knowledge. I prefer to
be told rather than wait so long
to find out."
"Yes. but it should be only
the school grounds."
"If they know their child as
a parent should they would
know,"
Students' comments:
"No, if they smoke the par
ents should know about it in
the first place and there should
be a place for it and not he
ashamed of their bad habit.
"Makes no difference."
"Yes, kids can't live their
lives hiding everything from
someone. They have to learn to
admit what they do. If they are
hiding something, they must ba
ashamed of it."
"Yes, if you feel that the par
ents might not know, but would
want to know, tell them."
