Has Many Activities The 1969 Conservation Man of the Year is a member of the Wheatgrowers , Association, Ore gon wneat League, ana Mor row County Livestock Growers Association. - He is active in lodges, church and community affairs, being a member of the Heppner Elks, lone Masonic lodge, the Royal Arch Masons, the Rhea Creek Grange, the Valby Lutheran church, and the lone PTA. He is a past master of the Rhea Creek Grange, and Ls on the Valby church council. His wife. Beth, shares his wide interests and is also a member of the Eastern Star at lone. Rudy is also a member of the Morrow county weed advisory committee. The Conservation Man is pret ty much a do-it-yourself ranch er. With his father, he does most of the ranch work, con ducts his own weed spray pro gram, builds his own ditches with a dozer and then seeds them as soon as they settle. He built a sizeable dam near his home last year, but heavy snow melt breached it early this year. About the only hired help is that of a truck driver during harvest season. Standing on the site where pioneers came to establish the community of Gooseberry, one gets the feeling that they would be proud of the choice of Rudy Bergstrom as 1969 Conservation Man of the Year and would be well pleased of the manner in which he and his father, Bill Bergstrom, have been stewards of the soil they once worked.
