Sounds Smart At the request of the City Superintendent, City Council has passed to the 3rd and last reading an ordinance requiring supply valves, relief valves and check valves on new plumb ing Installations and remodeling Jobs. This is in compliance with the Oregon State Plumbing code that has existed for many years. This Is double protection not only for the city but for the householder. According to the City Crew, a SUPPLY VALVE goes be tween the meter and house and Is a separate water shut-off for the property owner. RELIEF VALVE or pop-off valve Is a steam pressure relief valve. It goes on the hot water tank. If the heating element gets too hot, it prevents the tank from exploding. CHECK VALVE is in the hot water tank supply line. It prevents the hot water in the hot water tank from drain ing back into the main supply line when the main breaks and line Is shut-off. The safety and convenience factor for the householder is plain to us. It protects the city against complaints or damages. These valves are available locally. The supply valves run $2.00 to $3.00, the releif valve $4.00 to $7.00 and the check valve from $5.00 to $7.00. Certainly householders should be made aware of what these valves do and install them when and where possible.

QUESTION: I worked for a year in Calif ornia, then moved to Oregon. I am 65 years of age and retired. I applied for unemployment in surance from California, and re ceived a letter saying that I was qualified for a total of $1,410 In unemployment insurance. They paid me for eight weeks and I was laid up and unable to look for work. Then I receiv ed a letter from them saying that I couldn't draw anymore unemployment because I wasn't able to look for work. I thought unemployment insurance was for the purpose of paying those who were unemployed through no fault of their own. ANSWER: You are correct about unem ployment insurance being for those unemployed through no fault of their own. But most states, Oregon and California in eluded, also stipulate that you must be ready, able and willing to look for suitable employment as a qualification for drawing unemployment Insurance bene fits. Since vou were ill and not able to look for employment, the California agency disqualified you. There is a possibility, how ever, that provided you are oth erwise eligible, and now able to look for work, that your ben efits might now be restored if you contacted the Calitornia De partment of Employment and so notified them. We surely owe a big vote of thanks to a lot of folks. Moving household goods, it seems like, might be substituted for an other kind of punishment for sin . . . or something. In any event, we've had quite a few friends and relatives give us assists on our move. Over at Pilot Rock, the Don Peck family helped load us, fed us lunch and provided a truck and hauled over a load Nov. 1, the day we took possession of this little newspaper. We had spent a night previously with cousins Birdine and Garry Tullis at their ranch near lone, and last Saturday Garry got up early, hauled us over to Pilot Rock in the big truck and with the help of Lee Finley loaded us up with more of our stuff. So, to all who help ed, Including unloaders Arnold and Valerie Raymond, Harold and Bryan Kerr, we say a big Thank You. A big thank you, too, to John Pfeiffer of Western Auto who has loaned us a real handy cart which moves heavy refrig erators and so on with very little strain. As you know, we have been a bit busy with this little news paper ... so our apartment is piled up with cartons and boxes, much like a warehouse. Anyone who wanders about in the dark in this place is rewarded by a sore toe! " " , '. ' ""I'Z' ' 'V ' : ry A J 'V l : - ; "V.- ' s ' . -. .

To the Editor, We don't have to go to a stage show now days to see a strip tease. They the on the streets, at the beach, just any place, both topless and bottomless. Yours sincerely, Andy Hayes To the Editor, We would like to take this opportunity to express our heart felt thanks to all the civic-minded people who made the recent UNICEF drive a success. This was the first year that a drive of this nature was at tempted by the Heppner High student body. UNICES is just the first Ci several projects to be carried out by the students at Heppner High school as part of a citizen ship plan that was recently in troduced. The citizenship plan works In correlation with the thought that our student body should be a more unified body. In the past too much emphasis has been placed on class competition, and very little on working toward a common goal. Again, we would like to give thanks to all the people that helped make our recent UNICEF drive successful. Respectfully yours, Pat Kilkenny, student body President Heppner High School CRACKING THE CODE OF LIFE By Robert S. Miller, M. President Oreaon Thoracic Society Cracking the genetic code was a milestone for man. The facts are staggering. Each cell in your body contains tight lv twisted molecules, DNA (do soxyribonucleic acid), carrying coded messages. If all the DNA molecules in your body were stretched out to their full leneth and placed side by side, thev would spread almost all the way across the solar sys tem. The image defies the imag ination. The code in each DNA mole cule consists of letter-like com binations, and cells act accord ing to their instructions. Scien tists are now beginning to "read" those instructions, which determines the destiny of a cell. Depending on tne code, a tu bercule bacillus the TB germ could be created, or any other kind of cell. The DNA of the tubercule bacillus, in fact, is now under intensive investigation at the Duke University Medical Center. 1 As the result of a research grant from the American Thor acic Society, the medical arm of the National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Associ ation. Dr. Hilda P. Willett Is conducting studies to determine the genetic makeup of this bac illus. Through her research, she hopes to find out more about the DNA and how it instructs the cell, why some TB germs become resistant to drugs that immobilize most TB germs, and other fundamental questions. The implications of research into DNA are dizzying. Already genet icsts have succeeded in creating test-tube copies of DNA molecules containing man-made instructions. The molecules have been injected into some bacter ia, thus altering the destinies of the cells. The possibility of rewriting genetic blueprints opens vast new dimensions in medical re search. And no one can now visualize what may He ahead, i Pre-Nuptial Party Honors Couple Pre-nuptial festivities honored Miss Katherine Louise Melby and Sgt.
