Get Involved And Enjoy It!
(aught the spirit yet? If not, better get with it!
Believe It or not, it's just five more days (after Thurs
day) until fair time, and nine more until rodeo days.
fitting to have a float? Theme for the rodeo parade, to
le Saturday morning, August 23, is "Yesteryears of Morrow",
m it should be real easy to hring back the "good ol' days"
in some unique way.
Businesses anil organizations should be getting busy on
something that will contribute to the theme and get in the
parade. Kids could have a real hey day, too, getting out
grandma's or grandpa's oldtime garb and dressing up for the
kid's part of the parade (and win some of that prize money,
tool. With Morrow county's wealth of history, its yesteryears
could be relived in me.ny, many interesting ways.
Most everyone gets involved In fair and rodeo in some
capacity, so this is truly a time of community cooperation
everyone working together so that the county may put its
best foot forward, antl at the same time have a good time.
Emphasis at the fair is on youth activities, as it should
be, but parents will be very well represented In open classes,
community booths and many other activities. It is one occas
ion where the family participates as a group and returns
home with a deeper sense of pleasure the kind that comes
ftom achieving and knowing their work has been well done.
Families feel a close association of common interest and par
ents get a thrill to see son or daughter pack off a blue rio
bon, many times following a family tradition.
It has been a long time since pioneer days, but fair
time brings us back to the basics which were so important
then and remain important today cooking, sewing, home
making, raising livestock and agricultural products. No mat
ter how these things are refined by modern technology they
are still necessary for human livelihood and families share
them.
It is truly a family event, and it's great to be a part of
a family.
Support the fair by your attendance, too, and boost our
Morrow county products and those who raise them.
A Push for Irrigation
It has been said many times before, and it will be said
many times again. We say it today.
Irrigation is the key to an expanded agricultural economy
in Morrow county.
Believing this to be the case, we offer today for our read
ers a special section on irrigation its advantages, and its
problems.
We think the advantages far outweigh the problems,
which can easily be solved.
The prime example of what irrigation offers for the coun
ty has to be the Nelson-Tucker ranch in the North end.
When D. O. Nelson first started farming the land some
years ago, it wasn't supposed to be fit for tillage.
Today, it produces potatoes at a rate of 20 tons per acre,
and wheat at 70 bushels per acre.
And it's all because of irrigation. Sure, we all could do
it with a 2,800-gallon-per-mimite well, but D. O. Nelson had
the idea to drill the well in the first place.
The water is there. And so is the land. What remains is
to couple the two into a vital force that could double the
county's wheat output, or make land capable of producing
those spuds. We could go on antl on about the aspects of
irrigation that make it so promising.
But that's what the special section is for. We hope you'll
take time to read it, and think about the future of agricul
ture in Morrow county.
believe we were in any
danger from drowning.
We were picked up by the
Coast Guard Auxiliary before
I the CO arrived on the scene.
The action was observed by the
I CO from the tower on Cape Dis
appointment but their boats
were all quite a ways away and
the sea was running pretty
heavy for speeding.
I do enjoy the paper as I
know most everyone there does
also.

Film to Be Featured
At Evening Service
The motion picture "White as
Snow will be featured in the
evening worship service of th
Heppner Lexington Christian
Church at the Heppner church

goes away to college and sud
clenly finds himself in a new
world of personal freedom, new
friends and new ideas. Questions
arise about Christian beliefs
the Bible and church no longer
seem relevant to the world to
day. It is the story of a young
man's struggle for maturity in
his Christian faith.

the churches, emphasizes that
the evening services are for
the adults as well as youth, and
extends a welcome to all - to
come and share in these serv
ices.
