As the young man approached the crest or a hill driving in the left lane he met another car head on. The marijuana user described tho scene of the wreck as tak ing 10-15 minutes to happen.

After that he didn't re member much. The boy thought he had been going 5 MPH, when in reality, the State Patrol es timated his speed to be over 100 MPH. The boy lived. The inno cent man in the other car was killed. "It doesn't take many exper iences like this," Sergeant Berg said, "until you would say with me, 'I'm afraid of drugs', I'm frightened of what it does to our young people, most of all those who tell people drugs really aren't dangerous." One of the biggest problem areas in the enforcement of the laws concerning narcotics and dangerous drugs is in trying to convict the offender in a court clear power County. Making recorded statements at the hearing were Stan Addi son, Heppner High chemistry teacher; Morrow County Judge Paul Jones; Gene Pierce, presi dent of the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce; Forrest Burkenbine, Heppner fire chief; Ken Turner, chair man of the Heppner Soil and Water Conservation District; Heppner Mayor Bill Collins; Morrow County Sheriff John Mollahan. . . Plcnt as Safe As Dam Testimony suggested there were no more hazards from a nuclear power plant than from power dams. Others said there is a great need for electric pow er and we are running out of dam sites. The benefits from ir- 1! tr a fiAil 4rrm 4--i r tetA r "rf ilL0"1 ters are great and far reach- ing, offering opportunities to our young people who now have few reasons to stay in the coun 30 of all arrests due to nar cotics are actually convicted. The other 70 are set free us ually because of some techni cality in the procedure of search. The drug series continues next Wednesday evening with guest speaker Anthony F. Haberlach, He is the program director for the eastern region Oregon Tu berculosis and Respiratory Dis ease Association. Anyone con cerned with the problem of smoking and how to quit should be there. By Don Hall Harold Erwin who has been at Pioneer Memorial Hospital since a heart attack, is listea as fair. Harold has been kind of chomping at the bit, wants to go home. ty as there are comparatively few jobs. Others testified that one nu clear power plant would add nearly 200 millions of dollars in assessed valuation. Each plant will have some 60 employees pus their families. "It will turn I our desert into a garden spot", I said Judge Jones. Many Benefits Possible Row crops and the multiple benefits such as recharging ground water supplies, benefits to wildlife, frost protection, greenhouse heating, large sup plies of power and many new jobs will add much to the econ omy of the county. New devel opments such as the nuclear power plants would enable us to make good use of Columbia Kiver water. A warning was sounded by Ken Turner to the effect that not having such a development leading to a broad based economy would mean economic stagnation for Morrow County. Heppner Mayor Collins said he had faith in the scient ists who say there is no harm from the nuclear plants. Sheriff John Molahan said ours Is a non-polluting type agricultural economy and the clean and non polluting nuclear power plants would be ideal for our environ ment. Senior Engineer Speaks William Dowis, senior engin eer with Douglas United Nu clear of Hanford, Wash., ans wered questions and told of the remarkable record of safety in the commercial nuclear power plants.
