Turner, Van Marter and Bryant Ph. 676-9113 Heppner State Grange Master Takes Dim View of Revenue Sharing Plan A dim view of revenue shar ing as proposed by the Nation al Administration and an even 1 Immpr view of breaking up the United States Department or Agriculture and handing its functions over to other depart ments was voiced by Oregon State Grange Master, Ted Sims, in his annual report to dele gates attending the 98th annual session of the State Grange at Roseburg on June 15. Sims delivered his report the second day of the five-day ses sion which opened officially at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Roseburg Monday morning, June 14. Regarding revenue sharing, Sims pointed out that, in or der to be eligible a state is re quired to file a plan that is acceptable. "There is no guar antee that any of the present programs can be included in the plan", Sims stated. "In the case of the Federal Cooperative Extension program", he noted, "revenue sharing might be used to substitute for state matching money. Since there would be no more federal funds, the pro gram could be cut in half in many states and greatly reduc ed in Oregon". Because the principals of dis tribution would be based large ly on population, Sims pointed out, three counties in Oregon Marion, Washington and Mult nomah would be Ineligible for funds. Several other Oregon counties, he maintained, would become ineligible within a mat ter of a few years. Regarding the Department of Agriculture, the State Master contended that the USDA should remain intact because rural American farmers and agri-business, plus many class-' es . of environmentalists and conservationists and even ur ban groups, need national fo cus and spokesmen. "To break up the USDA", he declared, "is like forcing a per son to take the old tin lizzy six different places to get it repair ed rather than taking her to one garage and having several jobs done". Sims urged the Grange to stay on the alert and to insist on maintaining a strong USDA. Eight Morrow County resi dents represented their granges at the session. Attending for Willows Grange were Mrs. Mary Lindsay, Lewis and Dot Halvor sen, and Beryl and Margaret Akers; Oscar Peterson represent ed Rhea Creek; and Nate and Margaret Thorpe represented Greenfield Grange. Next year's session will be held in Beaverton the third Monday in June.

Public retail sales have been held regularly at UAD since December in addition to sched uled spot bid sales.
