Open House Soon
A new business, Swanson Reel,
is opening this week at lone be
cause Garland Swanson invent
ed and patented a combine reel
which operates in a triangular
pattern. This reel differs consid
erably from the usual round
patterned reel. This reel can al
so be used on Harvesters ana
swathers.
The new, improved reel has
been field-tested for 60 days,
and it accomplishes two things
which its manufacturer thinks
surpass the ordinary reel. It
sweeps the cut grain back from
the sickle clear to the auger and
thus prevents dropping or spill
ing of heads off the sickle bar
to the ground even going
downhill. Being put clear back
to the auger the grain is caused
to go under the auger, which in
turn feeds the full width of the
cylinder.
,.. Because a big percentage, of
neighbors' who saw this ma
chine working at lone wanted
one, Gar has set up a small fac
tory operation. Modern equip
ment has been purchased and
installed including a fast-cutting
saw, traveling torch, arbor
press, drill press, and jigs and
positioners, so that the reels can
be built rapidly.

tails involved In the councils
signing of an agreement regard
ing the organization of Morrow
County as a Council of Government.
It would appear that approv
al of the application for Feder
al and State grants must come
through a Council of Govern
ments. Requests within the
county would be approved by
the Morrow County Councils of
Government. If a project in
volves more than one county, it
appears that approval of the
five-county Councils of Govern
ment would be required.
The County Court has received
approval signed agreements
from Boardman and Irrigon. The
county organization serving as
a clearing house would have a
representative from each town
and one from the County Court.
There were to be no dues or
assessments. There was a con
dition for "getting out". Council
felt it was Important for coop
erative planning In the partic
ular area of solid waste disposal.
Judge Jones said that the
County would carry the finan
cial load as far as the loose-
