With the hope that planning a Bird Sanctuary at the Pio neer Memorial Hospital would attract the birds that the pa tients and those in the nursing home might enjoy watching, the women at World Day of Prayer enthusiastically voted to use their offering money to start such a project. Their first purchase was the tulip bowl and stand that will serve as a bird bath this year. It is hoped that next year the pump and smaller basin for the bird bath will be added. Birds are attracted to moving water. This has been installed on the front lawn. Thanks to Bob Lowe and his crew at the H0B Across the driveway and on the bank bushes and shrubs have been planted that Ed Cutting recommended. These pro vide berries that the birds will like as well as protection. These include sumac, high bush cranberry, cornus Stolorlfere, vibernum tomertorum, honeysuckle and Barberry. Three Boy Scouts and the committee supervised by Ed Cutting planted these shrubs early in April. Bob Lowe and his crew removed the turf, hauled In top soil, then from the World Day of Prayer money, bought bark dust which has been spread over the area to keep down the WLast week Jack Loyd, a builder craftsman, volunteered to build bird houses to hang in the trees about the hospital. He has the Boy Scout handbook and other bird house books. He plans to build a variety of bird houses that will serve to attract many different kinds of birds. Congratulations to all who have cooperated to get this project off and running. At Least Neutral James N. Sites, public relation., executive, put into words the climate in which business operates today when he said, " . . you can't whitewash a garbage dump. Any organiza tion must be able, in effect, to go Into the court of public opin ion with clean plants. It is therefore only common sense foi a firm to analyze and inventory where it now stands on air, water noise and even visual' pollution and either clean up, or be able to convince the public it is pursuing a pro gram of determined action aimed at doing so ... It Is no longer enough simply to prove we need a particular com pany's product or services. Managements are being held re sponsible for their organization's total Impact on the commu nity. If this cannot be positive In all respects, it should be at least neutral." For its part now that Industry Is recognizing its obli gations in the environmental field the public has no choice but to accept its share of the costs of the new standards that are a part of every business operation in the country.

Although I cannot be as prolific a report er for the hometown paper as Josephine Mahoney, I can from time to time bring your readers up to date on some of their friends now down in the valley. KIT ANDERSON, HHS gradu ate, is the new editor of the Oregon State Daily Barometer. This and the Presidency of the student body are the two most prestigious offices on the cam pus. Kit has been for the past year while attending classes writing free lance and has en joyed by line stories in numcr f.nQ state of Oreeon newspapers, Including the Oregonian. His dad, a former extension agent for OSU at Heppner, now lives In Dallas, Ore. DAVE HALL, also HHS grad, had an excellent reign ns stu dent body president at OSU and i'hrKf not to run for another term. His successor, a longtime friend of Dave's, is Ron Wilkin son of Lebanon, who has a 4-H and FFA background quite sim ilar to that of Dave. COL. ED BURCHELL, a Mor rniu Cnuntv native off a wheat ranch, is now on the OSU staff as traffic administrator. His wife Kay (Healy) is another Heppner product. They have purchased a new home in Cor vallis and just moved up from Southern California. Ed was manager of an H. R. Block in come tax office when we phon ed him that there was a Job open at Oregon State that he might be interested in, since he has a great background from being in charge of transporta tion for the Fifth Army as a Colonel in the Army. Ed passed all the examinations and inter views with flying colors and re ported for duty on May 1. As an OSU grad, he was anxious to get back onto the campus. I know where to go to get my traffic tickets "fixed." My friends down here, tired of my expounding on Heppner and Morrow County, ask "if Heppner Is so great, why do so many leave there?"

Needed 'Eye Control' By REV. FLOYD EVERHART Jesus once spoke of "putting hands to the plough but eyes straight ahead". He was really saying: "Don't plow a crooked furrow in God's fields". Paul in writing to the Galatians said: "O foolish Galatians ... ye did run well; who did hinder you?" Before we seek an answer let us consider the subject of his discourse. It Is thought that one of the branches of the Gallic or Celtic race from Asia settled In Asia Minor and named it Gal ntia. This DeoDle also passed through southern Europe and fi nally settled in the Britisn lsies. This race in its career among the nations of the earth has been fitly compared to the Gulf stream in its course through the Oceanic regions. From an re ports our Heppner community has received its snare oi mis overflow. Now it remains a com- Fontaines; Gall, one of his con mon Gaelic habit of mind to ' stituents, pushed on over the live in the past and such is true today in the old countries. I can share this feeling from my Father's maternal house hold "the . O'Currans". The name Curran is from Corran which Is a dimunitive of Cor- radh meaning Spear. It must have been a welcome day when many laid aside their "spears and took un the implements of industry and peace. My Moth er's family true to the High land race had a strong kinship with its varied usages but above all they were conscious of the needs of the Spirit especially the Kirk. The Church can ever be likened to a great Athletic contest with the final winner's being crowned with "crowns that fade not away". But the watchword remains "Hold fast to the Truth but keep your eyes ahead". I.pt ns think for a moment of those who have renowned ath letes of other days. Shall we be gin with Patrick who at some nprind in the 5th centurv. ar rived from Ancient Britain on his Spirit ordered mission and thus began a tenacious camp aign to win the Irish to God? His main concern was to evan celizo the country with the first or primary steps of getting peo ple to acknowledge God. From all historical accounts me oos pel reached Ireland in great simnlicitv. The lore of the Old and New Testaments resplend ent in the Christian theology was like a refreshing wind. Then Irishmen learned and re- cited the Fsaims wnn ease na . relish and beheld tne symoois nu uuc imsicu ui iw v.w ian Faith. Let us continue with Colum- 'V ,:.

From this college at Iona he directed a mission principally to nis own countrymen, the Scots from Ire land who had now founded the Tfinp-dom of Dalnada in Scot land. Think a moment of the own armv of Irish missionar les who set out to rekindle the Faith of Europe. Century after century saw them sailing on in to sunrise or sunset to clothe the land with Christ. Fridolin, the "traveller" crossed the Rhone and set up the cross at Seckingen; Kilian converted Gozbert, Duke of Wurzburg; Columbanus of Bobbio went thrnnch Bureundv with two oth er Irish monks and founded the monasteries of Lunewill and pushed on over the Alps into Switzerland and founded the monastery called Gall. Fursa who passed through France and then founded a monastery near Paris. Do the words of Paul to the Galatians call us to exercise dis cipline? This is a sophisticated, technological age which stands to lack the "fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom". What so inspired the hearts of the early Christians that they should go everywhere preaching and teaching Christ's finished work on the Cross and yet nev er forgot for a moment the Glor ious hope of His second Advent? Did you know that His second coming is mentioned five hund red times in the New Testament with one out of every thirteen verses referring to it? Or that in fourteen of the twenty one Epistles there is no mention of Baptism; and in twenty of twenty one Epistles there is no mention of the "Lord's Supper" but in the Epistles one out of each ten verses refer to His sec ond Advent? Indeed if these ref erences to Christ were deleted, only a tattered Bible with no continuity would be left. Have you put your hands to the plow which represents per sonal involvement in God's Kingdom i. e. personal accept ance of God's offer of Pardon? Where are your eyes which rep resent God's Purpose 1. e. How to know and follow His will for your life? How soon it may be that rewards will be given for those who Obey? Floyd Curran Everhart Pastor Church of the Nazarene Heppner, Oregon Services at The Assembly of God Church Sunday night started the Re vival at the Assembly of Cod Church. Those who attended say that the Evangelist Duane Par rlsh is a young man with a real message. Pastor Don Bur well says those who didn't at tend, missed a good meeting. The meetings continue each night at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, Duane will be In the Teen Class and will speak at the 11 o'clock worship serv ice and also at the Sunday eve ning service at 7 p.m. In addit ion to the preaching, those at tending enjoy the fine music.

McCabe as told to her by her mother Mrs. Arthur (Annie) Keene, daughter of W. T. Camp bell and Elizabeth Young Camp bell.) Came from Canada W. T. Campbell (Bill) and Elizabeth Young Campbell homesteaded on Social Ridge, Lexington in 1887 having come to Oregon from Ontario, Can ada. Settling in the same area and neighbors of the Campbells were: Bill Stafford, Joe Eskel sons, Theo Cork, Ralph Benges, George Browne, John Lieuallen, George Smith, Eph Eskelson, Jack Hills. These people lived In an area about five miles square with the Campbells about the center of the group. Only four of these places are still fanned. The oth ers have been absorbed. Ruhls are on the Smith place, the Mc rahns aro on thA Camnbell f place, Terrel Benge Is on the Benge place ana van Winnies are on the Jack Hill place. Telephone Comes to the Ridge The telephone came to Social Ridge about the turn of the cen tury and the telephone "line" was in most places, the top wire of the barbed wire fence. In this way, the news of the Hepp ner flood was relayed. Tele phone contact was possible with the Becketts to the west in the Liberty District beyond Rhea Creek, the Lum Rheas and Hen ry Padbergs on Rhea Creek. "Central" was in Leach's Store in Lexington. The first school for the child ren of those early settlers was held In the home of Eph Es kelson about a mile west of Campbells. The schoolhouse, east and north of Campbells was built in 1895. School was held three months in the fall and three months in the spring and averaged 15 students. All four of the Campbell children, Annie Keene, Lexington, Roy, Lexington, Effie Crow in Can ada and Arthur Campbell in In diana, receiving their grade school education there. A small amount of schooling beyond an 8th Grade diploma entitled a person to teach. Annie taught school from 1906 to 1910 at the Social Ridge School. I First Cor j Bill Campbell bought his first car, a Michigan, in 1908. Lack of gasoline propelled transpor tation did not keep families iso lated and much visiting was done and many social events at tended by means of horse drawn buggies and hacks. These out ings were the Sunday School picnics of surrounding commu nities at the Pettys Grove at Jordan and the 4th of July Pic nics in the Grove near the nres- ent home of Edna Munkers near Lexington. Early Threshing The Campbells had a station ary threshing outfit powered by a steam engine. They began threshing as the grain ripened1 and worked until the snow' came.
