opportunity to work on farms
this summer by supplying high

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

The Federal Extension Serv

nity for youth, 14 and over, to
qualify for exemption from the

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-

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.
