time resident of the county, he
moved to Cecil with his family

area as a rancher until retiring
to Umatilla, July. 1970.
' Mr. Hynd grew up with, and
helped develop one of Oregon's
great family ranching opera
tions. The holdings at one time
covered something like 40,000
acres with their own and some
leased land in several counties.
Operations included both sheep
and cattle and alfalfa hay. The
business includes only a small
tract of wheat
Observers have told us here
a number of times of the de
votion of Herb and the other
family members to an attitude
of great teamwork with tireless
hard work resulting in the
splendid Hynd Bros. Corporation.
On June 10, 1934, Mr. Hynd
was united in marriage to Bet
Bleakman in Portland. The
couple settled down happily
Cecil and in 1942 they proudly
brought home a baby girl whom
they named Carol Sue.
Herb, being a gregarious per
son, liked all people and never
met a stranger. He was an ac
tive member in his agricultural
and community groups and al
ways willing to lend a helping
hand.
He is survived by his wife,
Beth Bleakman Hynd of Uma
tilla; daughter, Carol Sue Hyndj
of Portland; his father. Jack
Hynd, Sr. of Pendleton; a bro
ther, Jack Hynd, Jr. of Cecil;

Mr. Hynd was a member of
All Saints' Episcopal Church,
the County and Oregon Cattle
men's Association, The Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce, and the vice-president

At Monday's Chamber lunch
eon, Herman Winter told that
Oscar Peterson, who has been
promoting the printing of a his
tory of Morrow County, has urg
ed securing another 50 photos
for the proposed book.
About two years or so of re
search and writing have gone
Into the manuscript by author
Giles French of Moro. Mr.
French, explained Mr. Winter,
has written several books. Pub
lishers, Binfords & Mort, rec
ommended printing 4,000 copies
for the Chamber or other spon
soring group and a thousand
copies for themselves to sell.
Cost would be $11,000 by the
well-known Portland publishers
Plus pay for Mr. French. There
are 50 photos of historical sig
nificance but it has been felt by
Mr. Peterson, Mr. French ancl
the book publishers that anoth
er 50 photos would greatly en
hance the book. Judging from
the experience in neighboring
counties, it appears the book
would be a sell out within sev
eral years' or less. Some money
has already been subscribed for
the book.
President Gene Pierce com
mented that subscriptions had
been left at his bank and more
has been coming in.
He reported on contacting the
Congressional delegation by tel
egram in regard to the Cham
ber's going on record favoring
continuation of the Hanford nu

language arts teacher in 7th
and 8th, told of the Junior High
programs and their choices.

Mrs. Weldon Witherrite is
Health Chairman of the Morrow
County Extension Homemakers
Advisory Committee.
Mrs. Edna Chally, R.N., Mor
row County Health Dept., stated
this week, "There are approxi
mately 100 persons living in
Morrow County who have dia
betes but only about half of
them know they have the con
dition and are under treatment.
Those who are in the "High
Risk" group those over age
40, overweight, blood relatives
of known diabetics and mothers
who have had babies weighing
9 pounds or more are espec
ially urged to get this diabetes
blood test".
Mrs. Chally points out that it
is important that those persons
planning to have this blood test
eat one of tfcc'lspeclal test .meals
2 hours before reporting for the
test otherwise the test re
suits will not be accurate. The
test meals are calculated so as
to contain 75 grams of carbo
hydrate. Sample test meals will
be printed at a later date. Mrs.
Witherrite will distribute samp
le menus at different locations
throughout the county.
While diabetes is not rare or
unusual among children, it is
about 10 times more common
in persons over age 25-years as
in those under that age. As the
age goes up so does the rate
for diabetes go up and for this
reason those over age 40 are
especially urged to avail them
selves of this opportunity to be
tested. "Diabetics in the adult
usually has a slow developing
insidious onset," said Dr. L. D.
Tibbies, County Health Officer,
"and frequently the disease if
fairly well advanced before the
victim feels sick or tired enough
to see ' a doctor. Through this
blood test program we hope to
find the early cases and get
them treated before any serious
complications have taken place".
All residents, both men and
women are urged to take ad
vantage of the free services of
Diabetes Detection on March 8
and 9 in Heppner, lone or Board

In summing up the combined
efforts of the group, Superinten
dent Ron Daniels spoke earnest
ly when he said, 'The one de-.
sire I have is that you have
come up with a budget that ev
eryone in the room can support."
The 12:03 a.m. adjournment
came after a stormy session that
began at 7:30 p.m. in the Hepp
ner High library. The final fig
ure represents only a 4.08 in
crease over last year's budget.
Morrow County is much better
off than the majority of dis
tricts as they shoot for that
magic figure within 6 of last
year's budget
The final figure is only $28
more than the budget as it was
Originally proposed.
Even though the figure only
reflects a $28 Increase there
were cuts totaling $16,000 made
during the budget deliberations.
However, the cuts were offset
by necessary budget additions
and by $8000 for the purchase

Mann and Hansell Tell
Irrigation, Land Tax News
Rep. Irvin Mann, R-Stanfield.
and Rep. Stafford Hansell, R
Hermiston, today announced two
important developments for Mor
row and Umatilla Counties.
The first announcement came
in a letter to Rep. Mann from
The Boeing Company in Seattle,
The letter reaffirmed earlier dis
cussions Rep. Mann had had
with Boeing officials concerning
the payment of taxes on the
Boardman Tract property.
The letter which came from
Denver Grigsby, Project Mana
ger, Boardman Development,
said, in part: As we (Boeing)
construe our lease, the burden of
any increase in the property tax
es over the taxes based upon
the property's bare land value
is to be borne by this Company.
The letter further stated that
The Boeing Company believes
that, if there Is any increase in
the future in the market value
of the property by reason of the
improvements made, such as ir
rigation projects, manufacturing
facilities, and so forth, any in
crease in taxes resulting from
the increased market value of
the property is to be borne by
The Boeing Company."
Reps. Mann and Hansell stat
ed that in conjunction with the
Boeing letter, Boeing today op
ened a fully staffed office in
Boardman.
Hansell stated that "the office
will complete the implementa
tion study for the irrigation of
some 60,000 acres on the Board-
man Tract."
Mann said that the letter from
Boeing on the opening of the
olfice showed "the good faith
of their negotiating throughout
tne last few months."
Mann added, "Implicit in the
letter is the guarantee that our
Veterans' Fund will be protect
ed fronL anjdangor as a result
of increased property taxes."
The second significant devel
opment, according to Mann and
Hansell, came today in a speech
given by L. B. Day, Regional
Director of the U. S. Department
of the Interior, in Hermiston.
Day stated that the Pacific
Power and Light Company Ls
willing to participate in the ir
rigation of land which will be
utilized for future nuclear pow
er plant cooling, and that the
Company is willing to pass the
net savings on to the irrigation
projects in the counties involved.
Day said that "Pacific Power
and Light has advised me that
if the necessary studies determ
ine that the area does provide
a desirable site that can be li
censed for a nuclear power
plant, and that if the surround
ing terrain and lands would

had given the budget a close
study. He had at his command
figures from previous ' years'
budgets. He startled the other
members with his late recom
mendations and motions for cuts
in the three series that were
being considered. He is knowl
edgeable of the budget process
and is well aware of the tax
payers, as well as his own, cry
for reduced taxes and he spoke
convincingly for economy. His
questions and comments merited
close attention from the others
in the session, although they
didn't always vote in accordance
to his recommendations.
General Maintenance of the
700 series at the five schools
came under scrutiny. In the fi
nal vote, the figures were left
as in the proposed budget. The
700 series was reduced by $300
because with the unexpected
necessary purchase of the new
furnace at lone, that amount for
furnace repair could be deleted.
Supt. Daniels noted that more
and more the district's own
maintenance people are picking
up more of the district's im
provements by doing their own
remodeling, cabinet work and
painting. Even though their sal
aires are paid in another series,
the price of lumber and paint
continues to go up,
Amendments to the motion
and amendments to the amend
ment which plagued the session
were handled masterfully by
chairman Harley Sager, assist
ed calmly by Supt. Daniels
through a turbulent evening.
Replacement of Equipment
During the discussion of the
735.1 series on Replacement of
Equipment (Instructional), the
vote was a tie, five affirmative
and 5 negative.
The chairman broke the tie
to pass the motion which left
