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!

TO THE
EDITOR.
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
