Irvin Mann of Stanfield las taken steps that will allow II- and 15-year-old youths the opportunity to work on farms this summer by supplying high schools with applications for special agricultural work per mits. The application forms will make it possible for students of those ages to get employment they were denied in 1968. he said in a letter to the school principals. Rep. Mann said that those who wish to work should make their applications now and get the forms from the principals. Those who wish agricultural work permits that will allow them to operate farm tractors and other power-driven farm equipment during the summer vacation may enroll in the 4-H tractor project. The Federal Extension Serv ice exemption provides opportu nity for youth, 14 and over, to qualify for exemption from the Federal Child Labor regulation that excludes youth under 16 from certain hazardous occupa tions, including the operation of tractors and power-drven farm machines. To complete the subscribed course by vacation time, inter ested youth must enroll soon. Adult leaders are required. Par ents of interested youth and farm operators who may wish to hire the youth are suggested as potential club leaders. The OSU Extension Service will provide instruction manuals and certif icates to those who pass the written and operating safety ex aminations. Extension agents will help organize clubs and ar range for the written and driv ing tests. Forward looking 12- and 13- year-olds who wish to qualify for this exemption when they are 14 should enroll in the 4-H tractor program now. Those in terested are advised to see the county extension agent or 4-H club leaders for additional information. for a double, then scored when Keith Curnutt hit the ccond pllih of the contest lor a left field triple.

George, Sec. 676-9442 Evenings Registered Nurses Urged to Return Governor McCall has pro claimed the week of March 31 as "Professional Nurse Week in Oregon. Several hospitals in Eastern Oregon have selected March 31 as the date to begin a retresner course lor inactive nurses who wish to return to work. Registered nurses are in short supply and are being sought everywhere. Grand Ronde and St. Joseph hospitals in La Grande, St. An thony and Pendleton Commun ity hospitals in Pendleton, Good Shepherd hospital in Hermiston and Pioneer Memorial hospital in Heppner are cooperating in co-sponsoring a free eight week refresher course for registered nurses to help solve their com mon nurse shortage problem. Classes will be held in Pendle ton, Monday through Friday and when successfully complet ed will qualify former licensed nurses for relicensure. This is a tremendous oppor tunity for nurses fearful of re turning to work after years away from their profession to be reoriented. The class is struc tured to quickly renew confi dence by relearning former skills and updating knowledge and nursing techniques. All professional nurses who have been thinking about re turning to nursing "one of these days" are urged to call the Dir ector of Nursing in any one of the sponsoring hospitals today. Hearing Favors Vacating Block By FRANCES ROSE WILSON IRRIGON The City Council, after holding a hearing at which no remonstrance was pre sented, adopted an ordinance vacating the north-south alley in block 36, at the March meet ing. , , Mayor Wilson presented the engineers' evaluation of, and proposals on, the bid documents for the water system. He inform ed the Council that, due to sorru irregularities and lack of com pliance with proposal require ments, on the part of those sub mitting bids, and due to errorr in extension of figures, the low bidder was not James Robert son of Clackamas as it first ap peared, but rather A. V. Deblas ie of Yakima. Additional financing; in the amount of $12,000 is needed for completion of the project, and as soon as details are worked out with Farmers Home Admin istration, through whom the protect is being partially financ ed, the contract will be award ed. Other business on the agen da included the appointment of Wilma Elgin to succeed herself on the Planning Commission for a 3-year term; and received planning commission endorse ment on an annexation resolu tion previously adopted by the Council. A proposal was adopted to set utility pay at $2.50 per hour, with occasional hand labor to be paid at the present wage. Proposed work was authoriz ed for repair of the roof and windows on the City Service building and planting of trees between 4th and 8th Streets to begin the highway beautifica- tion project. Planting of trees and shrubs along the north side of the highway to 12th Streef is planned for the next few years.
