A Yes Vote for the Hospital The Serial Levy for Pioneer Memorial Hospital that the people of Morrow County will vote upon May 25 will raise $22 .V0 a year for the next three years. This Will cost 25c per $1000 true cash value of any prop-em- owned. For a $10,000 house the cost will be $230 per vrar or $5 0o for a $20,000 bouse. This amounts to l40th of i-S of TCV- The n-d of more money for the hospital has been ap parent fdr many years. Now when costs are rising, some of the equipment, new when the hospital opened, needs replac ing and additional equipment if needed, the facts could be ignored no longer. Of the several alternative. It was decided that a three year Serial levy would be the solution. While the amount is. not pigamic, it will go a long ways to help the present fi nancial problem. There's no question of the need of the hospital and what it means to the community. Or what a blow to the community if there were no hospital or nursing home. It's hard to imagine the hardships that would be endured if there was no hospital or nursing home. More use needs to be made of the hospital facilities. 1 another doctor would come to the area, more use would automatically be made of the hospital. Soil Stewardship Week May 16-23 Soil Stewardship Week, a nationwide observance which places emphasis on man's obligation to God as stewards of the soil water, and other related resources, will be observed May 16 23,, according to Ken Turner, Chairman of the Mor row County Soil and Water Conservation District "The World and They That Dwell Therein", the theme of this year's observance, underscores the responsibility which each citizen has In fulfilling his or her role as caretaker of the realm. Some 3,000 Districts throughout the nation along with their State and National Associations are sponsoring the event for the seventh consecutive year. Nowhere is nature's true beauty and wealth more abun dant than in America. Farmers, ranchers, city dwellers, and all have worked together in establishing practices that have enhanced the beauty of the land as well as protect and de velop the soil and water resources for present and future generations. Yet, all is not good. Our environment is in danger. We have ravaged the land, eroded our soils, pollut ed our water, and made our air repugnant In correcting this situation. President Nixon recently said. The task of clean ing up our environment calls for total involvement by all our citizens," and that "it requires the help of every citizen." Join your Morrow County Soil and Water Conservation Dis trict in helping keep "America The Beautiful" Show your concern by observing Soil Stewardship Week. Morrow County Conservation Man of the Year will be named at the annual Morrow County Wheat Growers spring meeting May 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Grange. row- Countv clean and encour age ecr o.-e lo follow suit We were surpnwd to k-am that there is only orse Lrter barrel between Keppner and the Free way; and there's only cr-e be tween Keppner and the John Day E-iver.

Once each year American observe Poppy Day which is a voluntary tribute to our dead and disabled servicemen. By accepting one of these poppies from a member of the American Legion Auxiliary", you aid the living victims of the past wars while honoring our dead. The poppy grew in the battlefields of France and Belgium where American service men have fallen during two World Wars. In the years fol lowing the first World War the Poppy came to be recog nized as nature's tribute to the war dead. It was soon adopt ed as The American legion and Auxiliary's official memor ial flower. The popples you wear on Poppy Day have an even great er significance than the flowers which bloomed on the bat tlefields of Europe. These memorial poppies have been made In hospitals and workshops where the suffering of war still exist. The disabled veterans who make these flowers are able to gain a dual benefit from their work the poppy pro gram gives many men their only opportunity to support themselves and their families; and It offers them a product ive pastime with which to combat long hours in the hospi tal wards. Money contributed in exchange for poppies goes directly for child welfare, disabled veterans, their families and th" families of deceased servicemen. It is a privilege to wear a poppy. Be proud you can. to be the Holly Leathers home' stead. Ey the camper was spread out a banquet of loving ly prepared food happily greet ed by the cow-boys and us vis itors. Delicious beef roast, tasty ham and chicken. A wide choice of salads, sourdough biscuits, beans and a bevy of pies, cakes and berries and other foods. Plus steaming coffee. (Doesn't coffee have extra fine flavor when brewed out in the open like that?) The 750 head cf cattle are driven 40 miles from the darks' Horseshoe Hereford Ranch and the Don Anderson Ranch to their allotment at Wall Creek. Jour ney takes about 3 days. Weath er which was cool was describ ed as good weather for trail ing cattle. We understand Bay Wright has only missed one cattle drive in 50 years. It is a looked-for ward-to-event by quite a bunch of relatives and friends. And even some Portlanders come up to see the drive, a group of periplegics four men friends of Beth and Barton Clark. The meadows in the mount ains this time of year are a breath-taking green. If you have had cabin fever or sometihng. jump in your car and take a little tour. Youll be clad you did.
