The date March 24 has been set for the annual visit of the Red Cross Blood Mobile to Hepp ner. More people should become first time donors. The first time may be viewed with apprehension but composure soon returns when the donor learns the process is quite painless. Actually the most painful stop of the several through the line Is the prick of the finger for the drop of blood needed for testing. The entire process Involving interview, tests and refresh ments usually requires about 45 minutes. The actual dona tion takes approximately 7 minutes. It should be emphasized that blood is a fluid for which there is no substitute. Many advances have been made in the concept of blood therapy. These advances have stimulated the public's interest not only in blood procurement programs but also In the nature of blood itself. Blood is a community responsibility. Every minute every clay over 8 bottles of blood are used in this country to treat the ill and the injured. Blood can be stored for possible use for only 21 days. No blood is wasted. All blood not used for transfusion is returned to the Red Cross Center where the plasma is removed and derivatives are prepared that are needed to do the jobs that whole blood alone cannot accomplish. Gamma globulin to prevent measles. Serum Albumin to combat shock. Fibrin ogen to stop hemorrhage. Red cells to treat anemia. Fro zen plasma to treat hemophiliacs. Be a First Time Donor. The blood you give you won't miss. It saves lives. A Matter of Responsibility There is no denying that universities, in most cases, have leaned over backwards to adjust to the idea of greater stu dent participation in university operations. But, little has been said of a fundamental question concerning expansion of student powers. The president of Hofstra University, Dr. Clifford Lord, touched on this question when he said, "... I think one of the main problems of student governance is the very real problem of responsibility in a population which is in con stant turnover to a degree that is not true of faculty, admin istration and trustees . . ." Dr. Lord was referring, of course, to the fact that student bodies change with each graduating class while the continuity of the uinversity management must continue uninterrupted. It would seem that there must be recognition of the ul timate responsibility that rests with the administrators who devote their lives to the welfare and progress of a university, just as there must be recognition of the fact that attending an institution of higher learning is in reality a privilege rather than a right a privilege that heretofore has been re served to those who could demonstrate certain scholastic ac complishments. Dr. Lord's point is well made. LETTERS TO EDITOR REMEMBER THIS? .... .... REMINISCE! i Dear Elaine: I'm not tin beM typlxt in the world on this little portable but It Is better than my hand writing. We made n change In plans because of the weather, time and various reason, so we did not go by Hemet on our way here after all. Hope to get to see David and his family on our way home but not sure about that yet. As you know, we spent Christ mas and Nov Years with our niece and family t Sunnyvale, then started south again along the const. From Carmel to the mountains Is the artichoke center, and we drove through thousands ot acres of the plants in all stages of growth; it's easy to see the resemblance to the thistle family. The Big Sur area is surely big and rugged enough to be very Impressive, but I was surprised at the lack of trees along the coast. Most of the time we drove where we could look down the Jagged cliffs into the rocky seacoast. From San Simeon there were rolling grassy hills from the mountains to the seacoast where beef and dairy cattle abounded. By the time we got to Santa Barbara we were into he oil well country. The Santa Barbara beaches are lovely and we can see why they are up n arms about the oil leakage there. From Ventura east to Los Angeles it was mostly homes and business buildings inter spersed with truck garden plots on all level spots. The freeways in L. A. are not too bad, pro viding it is not necessary to travel them during rush hours and we saw to it we didn't. We were blessed with nice weather ail that time and until we were ready to do some sight seeing on Sunday, then it open ed up and poured. At that time we were located in a trailer park between Signal Hill and Long Beach airport right in the mid die of the oil wells. Everywhere we looked were the oil wells like a flock of overgrown crass hoppers bobbing their heads up ana down as they ate and each is operated by what appears to do a motor similar to that on small tractors which run night ana aay. bunday mornins we drove down and explored all the ny-ways of Long Beach Harbor. Did not see the Queen Mary as iney are working her over get ting ready to put on public dis play. After lunch we drove around by L. A. International Airport up to Wilshire Blvd., through Beverly Hills to the Mu seum and the LaBrea Fossil Pits. They were just as fascinating as we had expected and we in spected them all in spite of the soaking rain. By the time we finished that we were so wet, however, that we did pass up ou.r intended visit to Forest FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO March 5, 1925 The Epworth League of the Methodist Community Church W!U SiYS, 9" Friday evening, March 6, at 7:45 a talk on Chi na, illustrated With beautiful, colored slides. Michael Doherty, sheepman of Butter Creek, died this morning at St. Anthony's Hospital. He was 42 years old, born in Ire land and came to America in 1906. I At the end of the week the stock of gents furnishing goods and haberdashery of the D. A. Wilson store was transferred to the new location in the Mason ic building, and Mr. Wilson Is getting pretty well straightened up in the new quarters. Judge R. L. Benge performed his first wedding ceremony when he joined in marriage Etta Hal lam of this county and Zephyl A. Harrison of Monument, at his office in the courthouse. During the past week Clive Huston disposed of the summer fallow on his Sourdough ranch to Ray Young, and the latter and his family have moved from the Bell place and taken charge of the Huston place. - Crocuses are in bloom every where just peeping out of the ground: their way of saying "howdy do, spring's here." The Galloway Telephone Co. sold out last week and will re tire from business. Individuals along the line bought up the equipment, among them being Charles Bartholomew of Pine City, John Brosnan and Percy Hughes of Lena and Dillard French of Gurdane.

It seems to me that our fiscal experts who are toying with our national economy are ignoring a fundamental equation of sixth grade arithmetic that 2 plus 2 equals 4. They assume that i plus 2 equals 5, or 6, or 7. They get the extra digits by inflation of some sort. Whatever money the government pours into the economy must be recaptured from it, if the process is to be repeated. It cannot be done if too much is spent in the low income non -taxable brackets. A wide exclusion of such low in come citizens imposes an in creased burden on others who are already demanding a tax cut. If they are given relief it will involve deficit spending to fill the pot. Maybe 2 plus 2 equals 5 or 6 or 7. Lawn. The next day we moved to Garden Grove and went to have a look at Knott's Berry Farm and Ghost Town and on our way stopped off at the Movielpnd Wax Museum and Palace of Liv ing Art. You probably have seen that or one similar, but we spent a couple of engrossing hours there and enjoyed every minute aon t know how they can make them look so real. When we got to Knott's Berry Farm found the biggest part of it was closed down because of the rain earlier that morning. We had lunch there and walked through the shopping area and Inde pendence Hall section. I have a hunch that is the best part any way, but we had no chance to get in touch with Arch Murchi son, which we had intended do ing while there. Next day we went to Disneyland only to find that it was closed Mondays and Tuesdays, then to the famous car museum near Orange Co. Airport to find it also closed that day. Deciding they all were in cahoots to save our money, we drove clown to Newport Beach for lunch. Went through main part of the business district and out onto the peninsula toward Balboa, where we saw a nice looking place called Woody's Wharf with a very small park ing area next to the street and a small guest dock on the bay. When we went in it was immed iately apparent that it was an exceedingly nice place indeed, and one quite popular with ex tremely well-to-do persons. We were immediately ushered to a nice table even though there were some others waiting at the bar. Now, this would not have struck us quite so funny if we had not dressed to be walking through Disneyland in the rain and two more eccentricly dressed HICKS you could not have found! Charles found his straw hat leaked like every thing in the rain, so was wear ing his Stetson, mit boots, whipcords and turtle neck sweater I was sporting a skirt and blouse with black coat sweater and had at least slid out of my snow boots into pumps since it was not raining I at the time. We decided later that they probably thought we had horses at Santa Anita or Just walked off of our crummy old Yacht In the harbor. Either way we surely did wish that you were with us as you could have appreciated how hilarious It all was, especlcl Rlnce the table between us and the win dow was occupied by a couple fcllghtly younger than us and an older man and woman. From their conversation we discover ed the older man was a friend who Invited the others to sit with him since they had wait ed 20 minutes for a table. The older woman was mother of younger man and younger wom an his wife. Mother was upset because she had horses at San tit Anita and tracks were closed by strike? wanted to know If she had chance of getting back on entry fees but son thought wouldn't get enough back to be worth the bother probably not enough to pay for the two new suits he had Just ordered from Scotland. Mother was bewailing the fact that cost of feeding hor ses, exercise boys, grooms, etc., went on were so high the own er got hardly anything back. Older man was quite put out because taxes, upkeep costs and help were making It almost pro hikitive to maintain the three or four estates most of them had he intended to let a couple go and just rent a place when he went to the various tracks- mentioning one in particular. The others thought it was nice but what would he do for gar age space as there was only room for two or three cars and not much space for retinue. Two young women on one side were discussing present marital stat us and travel; one was married the last time at Monaco and since they had nothing else to do they toured Europe on hon eymoon. Other one had not been to Europe for a terrifically long time must be all of five years and didn't even have a good map of Europe any more, but supposed they would prob ably hit the usual places on trip this spring. Three men on an other side were much perturbed at the work to be done on their yacht which was laid up in dry dock. (We decided we just did not know the troubles the poor rich folks had, Tsk Tsk!) Next morning we took off down the coast again, intending to stop and take a good look at the Mission San Juan Capis trano. Weather clear and sun shining once more. While park ing car and trailer to go to the Mission, three very large bus loads of school children were admitted to tour the place so, as usual we saved our time and money and settled for talking to the admission clerk, purchas ing some slides of the place for the grandchildren, and talking for a bit with Indian clerk at souvenir shop across the street and obtaining story of the swallows. Ate lunch in San Elijo State Park where we watched surfboarders trying to ride the big Waves in to the lovely beach. Drove on down to San Diego where we located a nice Trailer Ranch right on north side of Mission Bay. Next morning a storm was moving in from the ocean so we decided to be satisfied with do ing our sightseeing from the car. Drove over to Balboa Park and followed the Scenic Drive from there through business sec tion and around San Diego Bay, across to Sea World and around Mission Bay. Couldn't see too well or far because of the rain, but it was better than nothing. Hope to go back some time as we liked San Diego better than anywhere else along the coast and would like to be able to see more of it. Since the storm was supposed to be extensive, involving most of California, we decided to take Highway No. 80 (8) directly east through El Centra to Yuma. Hit clearer, warmer weather by the time we reached El Centro and had warm clear night at Yuma. Drove on to Phoenix following morning and found temporary parking at a brand new mobile home park east of Mesa. Park ed the trailer and headed east for Apache Junction area where we located a new park being completed just west of the junc tion (2 miles) and within a few blocks of where we visited Har ley and Alice Anderson many years ago. We signed up to stay here at least until March first so we will retain the location even if we should go other places for short visits. The last two days have been very busy locating a rental trailer and arranging to have it parked near us, for our friends Lamer and Joy Sayrs of Moro they will arrive about Feb. 4. His mother and husband have mobile home about 5 miles west of here. Went to see Ed and Ha Albert who are at park about 3 miles from us, and yesterday located) Chuck Wagon Lost Thursday morning Jack Sumner drove us out to his ranch at Eight Mile, After close Inspection of his 4 place Onlv change we could notice about him was that his thatch of hair is pure white. He says he leaves the Saturday night whooping and hollering to the young folks these days, ne iook directions to our trailer as men tioned bringing his wife out to meet us. Stayed and visited him so long did not get up to other department to see Tommy Do herty but will probably phone and say hello. Tried to can ver non and Faye Munkers, but have not gotten through as yet Have also contacted three fanv Hies from the Moro area who are wintering in this part of the state. It has been beautifully warm and sunny as far as we are con cerned even though the natives seem to think It rather chilly. May get down to about 45 de grees at night but warms up quickly in the mornings and has been at least 70 degrees during the days, with pleasant sunshine. It is just as we hoped it would be when we came. As you can see, we have not had much time for sitting around as yet, but hope to do so soon. Have come to the conclusion that If retirement life is any thing like this, aren't sure we will have time for it. Would you please tell Ye Edi tors where we are and that we are trying to enjoy it enough for all of those who wished to hitch on and come along with us. As ever, Helen R. Dear Editors: Do you remember the Skuzes- ki family who used to own a Tailor shop on Main street? Young John called me the other evening and we did enjoy talk ing about the Heppner news. John and his wife, Marjorie (Peterson), are the parents of two sons who will graduate from high school this spring and be college material. John is the Products Engineer at Jantzen Knitting mills and specializes in the swim suit department. His mother owns a small home at Yamhill and is near the middle son, Walter. The younger son, Ted, is the Con trol room supervisor at McNary on the Columbia river. The Skuzeskis were in Phila delphia last year and saw Peg Tamblyn Frank. She is with the Blue Cross. They now and then drive into Eastern Oregon and out into the John Day country and say it is unbelievably beau tiful there now. Sincerely, Josephine Mahoney Baker 2545 S. W.

Cessna, ho sturted the motor and we lifted off the stuuuie neau Ing for Redmond. It was a pleas ant flight and, as you probably already know, offers a wonder fully different view of this grand country. We passed below Con don and not far away it seem ed we could see the smoke laz ily rising above Kinzua. We were flying In a straight line for Redmond, which Is a bit of a diagonal from Heppner. In Redmond we attended a seminar presented by the NFO who had brought Arnold E. Paulson and his associate, Bob Clinc, out from Minnesota. Mr. Paulson operates the Minnesota Business and Industrial rromo tion Agency. This was an all day session, broken only by a luncheon at noon. Mr. Paulson said all his material had ben taken from books prepared by the U. S. Gov ernment. This was to show that everything was based on eco nomic facts. He said agriculture is the lar gest business in the world 60 of the investment of all in dustries is in agriculture. Mr. Paulson said private en terprise could be described as The Well , providing all mon ey for wages and interest. He said a number of govern ment figures were highly ques tionable because the method of accounting had ben changed in 1965. He said he had been associ ated with Carl Wilken who had traced the economic growth of the United States from 1850. Par ity he explained seems to have become a dirty word, but it actually is only a form of measurement, determining val ue in comparison with other goods. Reference was made in the talks by Mr. Paulson and Mr. Cline to a great number of ta bles and graphs and figures on about two dozen sheets they had provided each one attending the seminar. They explained that 70 million Americans live on the gross income of agriculture and that the national income is at 82 of parity. "Now," said Mr. Paulson, "debts are increasing 14' times faster than farmers have the ability to save up enough to pay for them." Wealth, he said, is not actu ally in dollars but in commod ities and goods. He said borrowed money has been substituted for normal profitable operating. We have a hundred billion interest on cap ital and mortgage debt. 26c out of every dollar earned goes to pay the interest. He feels the highest interest rates in history are coming in a very few months. Mr. Paulson said it takes $4.87 gross income to pay one dollar in savings. He told of Dr. Keynes' theory oi aencit nnanemg adopted by the government in the 1930's. Dr. Keynes, however, wanted a bal ance. We have been in a mythical prosperity based on. credit ex pansion. It was pointed out that from 1940 to 1950 was the greatest era of prosperity for farmers and small businesses. In 1950 the government deliberately manip ulated the price index. He said 26 of California farmers will not be financed this year by their regular banking sources. Some 70 of all resources in the U.S.A. are agricultural. On ly 16 of consumers' income is spent for food, much less than in communist countries. Fringe benefits now received by labor amount to more than all forms of farm income. He explained that importing meat causes a chain reaction. For every 2 pounds of meat imported, we conserve 56 pounds of feed grains, thus depressing our own markets. He feels between now and August of this year is the most crucial time in our country's Grange Plans Multi-Benefit Rhea Creek Grange are plan ning a multiple-benefit Pancake supper and Card party on March 21, Proceeds will provide their contributions to Red Cross, the Heart Fund, March of Dimes. Crippled Children, Cancer fund. The Pancake serving will be from 6 until 8 p.m. Mrs. Walter Wright WAC chairman, will chairman the supper and card party, Rhea Creek Grange will meet March 13 at 6:30 for a potluck supper and meeting Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wright are dinner chairmen. The program will be Medic Alert. history. He feels methods must change in financial government al policies regarding agricul ture. For every dollar of govern ment subsidy, he added, the government gets back $1.47 in increased taxes. Mr. Paulson says we must get back our sta bility. There Is a vital need for the restoration of parity. Turn over of dollars from agriculture is 7 times (one dollar of agri cultural income spent generates seven dollars in the economy of the country.) Agricultural prices could be increased 41, he said, which would increase consumer prices only 1 plus about 6 on pro cessed foods, griculture Is 70 billions short and since it af fects so much of the population, improvement is needed that will in turn affect the entire economy. He feels appeals should be made directly to the President. The County Court is discussing the possibility of having a sur veyor's office and telephone an swering service here in Morrow County. Bob Baggett of John Day has filed for the position of county surveyor. His partner, Mr. Griffith, also of John Day would also be associated with him in the operation of a sur veying firm. Judge Paul Jones said that having surveyors here would be of great value to the county in order to have roads and ditches platted properly. Judge Jones said he would recommend an item of $4,000 or $5,000 to be added to the county budget as much needs to be done over a period of years to get rights of way, etc., corrected.
