Museum Addition
Under Construction
An addition designed to re
lieve crowding at the Heppner-
Morrow County Museum is now
under construction at the site.
The 24 by 30-foot addition is
a gift to the museum from Mrs.
Harry Duvall.
Construction cost has been
estimated at $22,800. Contractor
is Don Grossmiller, Pendleton.
Donations excee ding 6,000
items since the museum was
built in 1960 have necessitated
the building, according to Mrs.
Rachel Harnett, museum cur
ator.
The original building, which
also houses the city library, was
built in 1960 at a cost of $70,-
000, and was also a gift of Mrs.
Duvall and others.
The Oregon Game Commission
has long endorsed and encour
aged family outdoor activities
such as hunting, fishing, camp
ing, target shooting, and firmly
believes these activate are
strong deterrents of Juvenile
delinquency.
At the same time, such ac
tivities. If properly directed by
parents, develop a wholesome
character as well as an appre
ciation for the out-of-doors, the
fish and wildlife, and other nat
ural resources of the state.
Direct social benefits from
such activities are seldom evi
dent, but parents at the Army
War College In Carlisle, Pa., dis
covered that its small bore rifle
program for youngsters had a
tremendous effect on Improving
parent-child relationships.
According to the report, fathers
and mothers who had children
at ages that sometimes hamp
ered communications found a
new way to reinforce or renew
family ties with their teenage
children.
The Carlisle Junior Rifle Club
held a membership of 133 boys
and girls during the last shoot
ing season (which runs from
September to May) with ages
varying from one 8-year-old to
one 19-year-old. The majority of
the Junior riflemen are In the
12 to 13 age bracket.
Incorporated into the club's
general shooting rules is the spe
cific requirement that each
shooter will have an adult coach
(parent) at all shooting sessions.
This carries out the theme of
one of the club's objectives
adult sponsorship with adult
youth participation.
Other alms of the organiza
tion are to improve the knowl
edge and skill of its members
in the proper care, use, and
handling of firearms, the use
and management of shooting

Highest- Hourly Wage
For June Earned by
Production Workers
Oregon's manufacturing pro
duction workers in June earned
an average of $3.54 per hour,
the highest ever for June, but
one cent below the record peak
in May of $3.55, the Employ
ment Division's Research and
Statistics section reported here
July 28. Overall hours worked
per week were down to 39.2
hours compared to 39.4 in May
and 40.3 hours per week in June,
1968.
The Employment Division
said that the chief causes of
the fewer hours were reduced
overtime production, early vaca
tion shutdowns, layoffs and clo
sures in the wood products in
dustry. Hours worked in the in
dustry were down to 39.3 hours
per week in June compared to
40.1 hours in May and 41.9 hours
in June, 1968. Average hourly
earnings in the woods products
industry were at $3.63 in June,
1969, $3.57 in May and $3.50 in
June, 1968.
In the construction industry,
hours worked were up from May
(35.5) to Sb.l hours per week
but down from the 37.0 hours
per week worked in June, 1968.
Construction workers earned an
average of $204.69 per week in
June, compared to $200.58 per
week in May and $194.99 per
week in June, I9bs. Hourly earn-
ngs of construction workers
averaged $5.67 in June, $5.65 in
May and $5.27 in June, 1968.
Wage raises and more com
missions brought earnings in
the overall trade categories to
$121.66 per week in June, com
pared to 3115.9 per week in
May and $109.66 per week in
June, 1968. Hourly earnings in
trade averaged $3.21 per hour in
June, $3.17 per hour in Mav and
$2.98 per hour in June, 1968.
Due to an influx of cannery
employees in the food process
ing industry during the peak
season, both hourly and week
ly average earnings went down
in June, compared to May. The
average weekly earnings were
$110.90, compared to $117.12 in
May and hourly earnings aver
aged $3.03 in June and $3.29 in
May. Hours in the food process
ing industry were up from 35.6
hours per week in May to 36.6
hours per week in June.
