Driscoll Explains
Proposed Hikes
On Postage Rates
An "inherited" nastal deficit
of $1.2 billion la responsible for
the proposals to raise tne post
Bee bill for American residents,
Postmaster Driscoll said touay.
Drlscoll said he had been ad
vised by Postmaster General
Wlnton M. Blount in Washing
ton. D. C. that the record $1.2
bill on 1970 deficit moved l-res-
ident Nixon to seek postage
rate increases. Without higher
rates the department will be
left with a deficit that would
become an added public tax
burden, he said.
In addition to increasing let
ter mail from 6 to 7 cents, as
proposed by the Johnson Ad
ministartlon. President Nixon
also asked that second and third
class mailers help reduce the
large postal deficit which would
otherwise be paid by taxpayers,
the postmaster said.
For bulk third-class mail and
most magazines and newspa
pers, the rates would be increas
ed 16 percent to 20 percent above
today's levels, he noted. These
percentages include rate hikes
already scheduled by previous
action of Congress.
The President's recommended
Increases will reduce the 1970
postal deficit by more than $600
million.
The postmaster listed these
other details on the proposed
increases:
First-class mail: Letters and
post cards would be increased
one cent, to 7 cents an ounce
and 6 cents a piece, respective
ly, on July 1, 1969. Airmail post
age would remain at 10 cents.
This will yield $557.2 million in
new revenues.
Second-class mail: A handling
charge of three-tenths of a cent
per piece for circulation outside
home counties would become ef
fective July 1, 1969. This would
yield $15.3 million annually and
would represent a 12 percent in
crease in addition to the 8 per
cent rise scheduled to take ef
fect January 1, 1970.
Third-class mail: For single
pieces, rates would be increased
one cent per piece. This would
yield $12.4 million. For regular
bulk third-class, the minimum
would be increased to a uniform
rate of 4.2 cents January 1, 1970,
as contrasted with the present
rate of 3.6 cents. The 1970 in
crease would lift revenues by
$46.8 million annually.
Sixth Graders Take Part in Club Contest
The Increasing need for
awareness of soil conservation
reaches today's students as well
as adults This has proven to
be a very popular study among
6th graders and has had a great
deal of special attention by stu
dents In the classroom of Mrs.
Inez FTrwIn at Heppner Element
ary school.
Sixth grade students of Mrs.
Erwin had added incentive this
year to relate their feelings on
soil conservation in written
form, They were Invited by the
lone Garden club, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Wallace
Wolff, to make original compo
sitions on the theme, "Our
Amazing Seeds", and enter them
in the district level of club competition.
Four poems by two boys and
two girls, and two essays re
ceived very favorable comments
In the district contest. A poem
by Mary Healy and an essay
bv Anita Davidson were select
ed among entries to the State
Garden Club Conservation con
test and will be Judged with
others for state awards.
Mrs. Wolff announces that
cash awards were to be given
the two district winners at a
school honors assembly last
Wednesday, and others who had
entries would receive small
books on wildlife.
The following is a poem com
position by Sally Winters on
"Our Amazing Seeds":
"Many seeds fly everywhere,
They fly mostly in the air;
They take birth on the
ground.
Now they fly around and
'round.
In the air you see them fly
Up toward the blue, blue sky;
When the wind does not
blow
Then the seed does not go.
When you see them in the
air.
Think how seeds are every
where. 'There would not be life on
earth
If the seeds did not take
birth.
When the seeds fall off the
tree
That is food for you and me.
When the rain comes down
We see life through the
ground.
If there were not seeds, you
see,
There would not be you and
me."
Other poems were written by
Richard McDaniel, James Ploy-
har. and Mary Healy, and es
says by Shannon Kelly and
Anita Davidson.

Public Accepts New Rules
At National Forest Camps
Most of the new regulations
to protect property and persons
and enhance the camping exper
ience itself were well accepted
by Natonal Forest campers last
year, the U. S. Forest Service re
ports.
There were 112 notices of vi
olation issued during the first
season of operation under new
Secretary of Agriculture rules.
U. S. Commissioners in Oregon
and Washington issued fines
ranging from $10 to $100.
The number of citations was
not high when one considers
there are about 1200 developed
campgrounds In the Pacific
Northwest Region used by thous
ands of persons each week.
The regulations are really
common sense reduced to reg
ulation," said Regional Forester
Charles A. Connaughton. They
relate to sanitation, public be
havior, preservation of public
property, audio devices, site oc
cupancy, and use of vehicles.
Waste Poses Problem
The two regulations that
seemed to be the most difficult
to adhere to were disposal of
waste water and parking or
camping in unauthorized areas.
The common practice of toss
ing waste water on the ground
or draining water into a hole
is against regulations because it
soon deteriorates the campsite.
The grease, soap, food particles,
etc., in the waste water soon
attract insects and cause oaors.
Campers should use a bucket
or otner container xo arain or
dumD waste water. The bucket
should be emptied into a near
by toilet or waste water sump.
Drain hoses from camper or
trailer sinks can be emptied in-

New Students Urged
Oregon School Law requires
all incoming first and ninth
grade students to have a pre
school physical and dental ex
amination, and to present the
completed form at school in
September, according to Mrs.
Lowell Chally, R. N., Morrow
County Health Department.
Copies of the forms are dis
tributed by the health depart
ment to all eighth graders in
the county schools, as well as
to kindergarten pupils. Addit
onal copies will be left at the
schools, private physicians of
fices, or can be obtained at the
Morrow County Health Depart
ment at the courthouse.
Parents are urged to have
these important examinations
done early in the summer in
case of any needed corrective
work before the start of school.
Birth certificates are required
for first graders. Application
forms are available in the local
health department office and
will be mailed upon request.
Telephone 676-9911 between 8:00
a.m. and noon daily for further
information.
to a waste water sump if a
sump is available.
Sewer Hookup Lacking
Recreation sites in the Nation
al Forests are not constructed
so that trailers and camper ve
hicles can use their plumbing
facilities to the fullest. Sewage
from such vehicles can only be
emptied into individual sewer
hookups. At present, only one
Forest Service campground in
the Pacific Northwest has indi
vidual sewer hookups. It is the
Union Creek campground 17
miles southwest of Baker in the
Wallowa - Whitman National
Forest. At other campgrounds,
sewage must be disposed of in
approved places. .
Another major problem in
campgrounds is removal of traf
fic control guards to gain ve
hicular access to tables, fire
places, lakeshort, etc. This un
lawful practice can wipe out the
vegetation between camp units,
create a "dust bowl", or impact
the ground to the point where
trees are killed. :
