State Employment Service
Lists Local Job Openings
Approximately -400 Umatilla
and Morrow county youths have
i:icd applications for employ
ment with the Pendleton, Her
mlmon, and Heppner offices ol
the Oregon State Employment
Service. There are applications
from outstanding young people
who are anxious to secure any
type of employment during the
summer. In addition many Blue
Mountain College and high
school graduates are currently
unemployed and are desirous of
getting started In some type of
work that may lead to a career
or give them enough funds to
further their education In the
fall. Employers are urged to
consider this reservoir of work
ers when planning new addit
ions to their staffs, says the Em
ployment Service.
The service also released fig
ures on unemployment insur
ance disbursements for May.
Thev were $6,993 higher than
one year ago. $5,410 was dis
bursed in the Heppner-Uklah ar
ea, $17,513 In the Pendleton ar
ea, and $18,888 in the Hcrmiston
vicinity.
Industrial outlook for western
Umatilla and Morrow counties
is. according to the service:
Lodging and wood products
Experienced loggers in short
suddIv during the past month
and the shortage will probably
remain throughout the summer.
Dimension lumber firms contin
ued to add workers as they pre
pared for seasonal maximum
production schedules.
Food and kindred products
Processors are expected to in
crease operations during June
and crop estimates indicate that
employment totals lor tnis ac
tivity should exceed those re
corded for the 1968 season.
Thievery Blamed
On Canine Culprit
People living in the vicinity
of North Elder street, who have
been missing a variety of mis
cellaneous items from their
clothes lines or back porches
lately might find it worth their
time to phone Helen Cox, who
reported last Saturday that the
thief is a small, friendly stray
clog who came to her home sev
eral weeks ago and has bef?n
there ever since.
Said Mrs. Cox, "He always
brings home useful things with
not a tooth mark on any of
them. So far I have a brown
leather sandal, an oil mop, a
child's red dress and a crib size
bedspread.
"The only thing wrong is that
he has no conscience and he
can't talk to tell me where these
things come from. He goes
along with me to return things
to people and almost smiles at
them while I'm trying to ex
plain why things were missing
in the first place."
So if anything turns up miss
ing in that particular neigh
borhood, it's a good chance the
culprit might be the same one
living at the Helen Cox home on
North Elder sreet.
Mr. and Mrs. Sean McDaniel
went to Monument Friday, June
20, to see Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Howell and to help Mrs. Howell
celebrate her birthday. Mrs.
Howell is Mrs. McDaniel's sis
ter. Also spending the day at
the Howell home were Mr. and
Mrs. Clifford Howell and son
Paddy, from Wall Creek.
R. B. Bishop, Union Pacific de
pot agent at lone and Heppner
will now work from Hermiston
instead. He and his family have
moved to Echo from lone. Until
a permanent replacement is as
signed. Miss Jo Adams is again
operating the lone and Heppner
depots. She did this work two
years ago before Bishop came
as agent.
Duck Lee of ' Portland has
been visiting for the last two
weeks at the home of Huson
Bryson of lone. Duck visited old
friends and school mates in
Heppner, where he received his
education. He worked at Eddie
Chirm's Elkhorn restaurant a
number of years ago, also.

For years, people have been saving in sugar bowls, knowing
deep down that they aren't the best place to keep their money.
We've always wondered why.
Because saving at First National is much safer.
It's easy (we have 117 branches).
Savings can be 5 sweeter at First.
And we have a savings program for everyone.
Take our "90-DAY PASSBOOK TIME
ACCOUNT," for example. To start one, all you need
is $500. From then on your money earns 5 interest.
You're able to keep it growing with deposits of $50 or
more. And your money is readily available to you after
90 days by withdrawing it within 10 calendar days
following the end of a calendar quarter. Or, by giving
us a 90-day written withdrawal notice.
DEPOSIT CERTIFICATES also make your savings
5 sweeter.
These certificates are something you actually buy. They
can be issued for as little as $500 and as much as $100,000.
The "6-MONTH DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE" pays 5
interest yearly and matures in just 6 months. You can easily
arrange for automatic renewal at the end of this period.
The "2-YEAR INCOME CERTIFICATE"
guarantees you 5 interest which is paid by check or
deposited to your account each quarter. If you let this
interest add up and compound quarterly for 2 years,
the return on your original investment is actually 5.22 7c
And now, all new certificates (issued after
March 28, 1969) may be cashed by giving
us a written 90-day withdrawal notice.
Another bad thing about saving
in sugar bowls is that it s so
easy to cheat. You grab a
few dollars here and
there. And pretty soon
there's no money left
to save.
That's why we
developed
SAVE-O-MATICIt's
a special program that, for
the first time, actually makes it
easy to save money.
With Save-o-Matic, an agreed
upon amount of money is automatically
transferred each month from your checking
account to your passbook savings account.
What could be easier?
There's also the regular "PASSBOOK
SAVINGS" that's familiar to everyone. In addition to earning regular
interest, such savings traditionally are payable without advance notice.
So stop in to find out more about our savings programs.
Better yet, bring in your sugar bowls, and we'll start sweetening
them up right away.
