Hodde Tells Need For Developing Irrigation Here (Continued from page 1) We must be careful that per acre water costs don't go too high. For example $."0 K-r acre Would be too hitrh for most crops. JIo Me heads a small staff to do a bit', complex (oh and th.it is coordinating mot danism si rl out all federal. M. He. and private studies and proHisals n I :( 1 in water and related land. Annual cix miitures lor liter studies are S? million bv federal Hrcnclc-i. $2 3 million bv tale and local, and more bv private groups, lis a big region covering most of five Males. Hodde met with members of the county court, port commis sion and Heppner SWCD in a session after the regular meet ing. His knowledge and articu lation was impressive. He coh ered many ramifications of bringing water to the area via a thermal nuclear generator. lie listed these obstacles; 1. People and power sale prof Its are west of Cascades. Trans mission lines can only carry so much. (Private power companies will build and own the plants). i. Warm water henelits to crops will be negligible. But he was enthusiastic about our advantages: 1. Large amounts of irrigabl land. 2. A 1500 f-urface acre im poundment could be located for cooling, thereby eliminating ex pen.se of building cooling tow ers. 3. Fog or smog problems would tie nearly non-existent. 4. Would bring needed irriga Hon, induslry and growth to needy and depressed area. 5. Would alleviate the urban sprawl and congestion. 6. Would balance state growth He made a big point of get ting eastof-mountain growth He mentioned that Governor Ev ans of Washington and the new Secretary of Agriculture have expounded on the need to im prove a floundering rural Amer ican economy, Social, economic and environmental development makes it clear that regional planning is a must. A last point by the wise and genial coordinator was that lo cal interest and effort will have to be great. People, politics and competition make it a real chal lenge. Morrow county has the resources, but it's up to the de termination of its people.

Welo, social secur it v district manager in La Grande, announced publication or a new edition of the pop uiar booklet, "If You Become Disabled." Copies of the new booklet which explains in clear and con cise terms the latest changes in the disability insurance pro gram as well as the basic pro visions of the law, may be ob tainea oy calling, writing, or visiting the La Grande social security office at 1X02 4th Street (P. O. Box 1027), he said. The booklet may help cor rect a number of misconceptions about the disability insurance program, Welo said. Among these misconceptions he noted the following: 1. That a person has to be 'permanently" disabled to qual ify for payments. "I cannot em phasize too strongly that this U definitely not the case," Welo said. "Payments may be made to a person who is 'temporarily' disabled it he Is not expected to recover from his disability for a year or more from the ime it forced him to quit work." 2. A person has to be totally disabled in the sense that he is bedridden or totaly paralyzed to qualify for payments. "Again, very definitely not so," Welo said. "The worker merely must have a physical or mental con dition that prevents him from doing any substantial gainful work over a period of at least 12 months. There Is no neces sity that he be drastically in capacitated in order to receive payments." 3. Since at least 5 years of covered work In the 10-year per iod before the disability began are needed if payments are to be made, the young disabled worker who never had a chance to work that long is left out in the cold. "This has not been so since the 1967 amendments to the social security law." Welo said. "As the booklet points out, a worker becoming disabled be fore age 24 now needs credit for only li years of work in the 3-year period ending when his disability begins. A worker 21 through 30 needs credit for hav ing worked half the time be tween 21 and the time he be comes disabled. It is only when he is 31 or older that the 5 years are needed, but even then the years need not be consecutive or in units of full years." Most disabled workers, he said, hope to return to work. Their social security benefits are an income replacement to help tide them over until they can go sack to their old lobs or be trained to do some other job. When a worker applies for so cial security disability insurance benefits, he pointed out, he is considered for rehabilitation services by the vocational reha bilitation agency in Salem, Ore gon.
