I ants. Being the First Baby will I be a conversational piece for a King of 1970 as far as Pio neer Memorial Hospital and the Orval Headleys at Kinzua are concerned, has arrived. The First Baby arrived at 7:48 Jan. 20 to Mr. and Mrs. Orval Dwight Headley of Kinzua where they have lived for the past 9 months having moved to Kin zua from Klamath Falls.

Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Headley and Mrs. Ruth McDonald, all of Milton Freewater and great grandmoth er is Mrs. J. W. Headley of Col by, Kan.

Back row: Reggie Pascal Tom Wilson, Edward Struthers, Forrie Burken bine, Dave Flanagan and Clyde Allstott Senator Ken Jernstedt Tells of State Problems Senator Ken Jernstedt of Hood River who represents Morrow County in the state legislature said he had served on five com mittees during the legislative session. These were agriculture, vice chairman of alcoholic con trol, planning and development, local government and the judic iary committees. During the Interim he serves on a commission rewriting the criminal code for the state. He also serves on a sub-committee working on laws that pertain to sex offenses. He's on a commit tee to confirm the governor's ap pointments. Perhaps most' interesting to him is the Governor's Youth Commission which pertains to laws concerning young folks. He was chosen chairman on the Greenleigh report committee, a study of the state's different boards and commissions pertain ing to youth. This, he emphasiz es, shows a terrific need for co ordination of efforts. Regarding youth, he feels an ounce of prevention is surely worth the pound of cure as he feels costs in some areas such as welfare show a contrast in cost with keeping youth In jail. He said annual cost of keeping someone in the penitentiary amounted to $7,000. He feels spending $1500 a year for sev eral years on education would amount to a large savings. He said the one man - one vote principle of the U. S. Su preme Court bothers him. He feels the state cannot be ap portioned in the same way but he thinks this is even coming down to county and city gov ernment levels. He spoke of the referendum to give Oregon a new constitu tion which would increase mem bers of the legislature, actually assuring Eastern Oregon of keeping representation. He feels that he actually rep resents the entire state and be lieves Eastern Oregon people understand state problems much better than the folks from West ern Oregon. The diversity of agriculture in the six counties he represents makes for a , great variety of problems, he said. : He was asked , about field burning in western Oregon and replied the No. 1 issue in the coming legislative session is environmental control. He says long time, Their gifts are many: $5 in cleaning from Heppner Cleaners $5 for the savings account from Bank of Eastern Oregon, a sur prise gift from Fulleton Chev rolet, $5 for his savings account from Morrow Tnnntv riminlrow Conntv School district ramp uus iue aas mure sex op-1 Rrnwprs. nnd $5 fnr hio cavii-iac to an Horwmpnt Tnpsrtav pvp peaj tnan anyimng else ne from C.A.
