L I DRARY u or t I EUGENE. ORE. 97403 Morrow County Fair to Make Small Charge Because of pressure from the Oregon Fairs Commission, ap pointed a year ago by the State of Oregon, the Morrow County Fair Board feels it must begin charging a nominal fee to Fair Goers for the first time In over 18 years, to maintain and in crease our Fair rating. The Fair Is run strictly on funds from the Oregon Racing Commission in the amount of $19,600.00 (no taxpayer's money is Involved on public funds). And this amount is budget to cover all mainten ance to grounds, caretakers wag es, fair premiums (over $6,000 at 1970 Fair), etc. Each Decem ber a check Is received by the Fan depending on points receiv ed after the Fair has been rated by the Oregon Fairs Commis sion ... we did not receive any points for charging admittance to the Fair, bo the Board hopes to get a very good rating this year with improvements to grounds (new restoroms, inter ior painting, etc.), and with the small charge for buttons and dally tickets. Buttons will be sold for 50c, allowing admittance to the Fair all week Including every event and activity on Fairgrounds, or 25c for a dally charge if you only wish to attend one day. The button does not admit to rodeo. - There Is absolutely no separ ate charge for any activity on fairgrounds' your button or 25c dally ticket (25c each separate day), will admit you all 4' days. No charge will be made until the Fair officially opens on Tuesday, Aug. 24. The Board regrets having to charge even such a small a mount, but in order to improve, maintain and keep operating the fair, It is necessary to do so. Morrow County Fair is one of the last ones in the state to charge admittance. It is hoped that all persons and organizations will ''get be hind the Fair Board and Fair Committee to help make this a very good fair ... and re member, by exhibiting in the many, many Divisions of the Fair, you may actually get your 50q back easily!

'. 88th Year THE GAZETTE-TME Heppner, Oregon 97836, Thursday, July 22, Judge Barratt Reports Clue Of Dr. Wagner Judee and Mrs. Garnet Barratt arrived from Mesa, Ariz., earlier in July. While the Dean Nait- zigers are at summer scnooi, they have sub-rented their apartment. Word of Dr. Wagner As the Barratts came north they stopped at Goldfield, Nev., where they talked to Henry Dahlstrom who has a private airstrip there. He was probably the last one to see the Dr. Wag ner family. He said they took off in a violent storm about 7 p.m. He tried to get them to stay overnight Judge Barratt told him that it had been reported that Dr. Wagner had had con tact with Stockton. Mr. Dahls trom said in that case Dr. Wag ner's plane would be found on the west side of the mountains and the storm would have drift ed him to the north. Judge Barratt had lived neigh bors to the Wagners when they lived in Heppner. He says he has seen Dr. - Wagner take-off and land on that tiny airstrip up by his house in unbeliev able conditions. Dr. Wagner had flown the Sierras many times, But there was a bad storm up on top that night with a heavy snow fall. The Barratts had stopped at Goldfield at a special restaur ant that serves good homemade pie. It is run by a Mr. and Mrs Clark. Morrow County Gets FopH Stamps i Food Stamp will replace the Abundant Food program in Aug ust in Morrow County. The new program requires participants to buy a portion of the Food Stamps they receive, With the stamps, which are us ed as money in grocery stores, they can buy more food than the same amount of cash would provide. '"'"'",, Most eligibility factors are the same for Food Stamps as were used for the Abundant Food Program. All persons formerly eligible for Abundant Foods will be eligible for Food Stamps. The amount of Food Stamps peceived depends on the house hold size. However, the amount participants pay for the Stamps depends on their income. ; Two person households will receive $56 worth of stamps at a maximum cost of $36. Four person households will receive $106 in stamps at a maximum cost of $76, ... Allowance is made for excep tional shelter costs and expens es for medical care, child care, and necessary transportation, in determining how much a fam ily pays for stamps. Indications are that it . will take longer to determine eligi bility of low income households for Food Stamps than it did for Abundant Foods because the in dividual situation determines how much a family must spend on Food Stamps. To help reduce delays, coun ty administrators are asking participants to apply on the same days they were scneauied to obtain Abundant Foods. Persons receiving public as sistance payments will receive their certification for Food Stamps in the mail. In Morrow County the location is 178 West Willow Street, Hepp ner, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Aug. 12 and 26. The schedule for the following months will be announced at the Food Stamp Store. - Flood Slides Wanted Dept. of - emergency services wishes to obtain slides of the May 25 flood. Anyone with such slides please contact Morrow County Courthouse.

MCGG News Lines Tell Market News In the July 21 issue of MCGG News Lines, published by the Morrow County Grain Growers, Larry Mills tells of adequate wheat storage in their ware houses and elevators. Only pos sible flies in the ointment could be the Longshoremen's Strike coupled with the U. P. Railroad strike that might give them a few problems. However, the firm feels sure Ihey can take care of everyone. A number of farmers are writ ing their Congressmen in an ef fort to get some Federal inter vention. Potato digging will start shortly and growers must have adequate rail transporta tion to move spuds into the fresh market. Quality of this' year's crop of grain looks excellent, he reports, with barley testing weights run ning as high as 52 lh., and red wheat testing up to $4 lb. He says it's too early to tell about yields but early returns Indicate the crop could possibly beat last year overall. WEATHER By DON GILLIAM Hi Low Prec.

McElligott Pair Says Girls State is 'Good Show' Two McElligott cousins, Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick McElligott and Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don McElligott were this year's Girls' State del egates from lone. One of the standouts for them was George Saunders from KWJJ radio station in Portland, He has . been a favorite for the 15 years that he has been brought back to Girls' State by popular demand. This year he encour aged the girls to ask him ques tions. He answered questions on scholarships,- religion, war, l year old vote and the 18 year old ; thinking, law. -: The- girls were impressed with Judge Jean Lewis who spoke on "Women in Politics", ui uay Meyers they said, "his talfi sounded like he was saying the kind of things he thought we'd want him to say." Elected ';' i Due to their grandmother's funeral, they were a day late in their arrival at Girls' State, In spite of this late arrival, the two girls were elected represen tatives of their counties to , the state legislature They agreed that they wanted to know how the legislature worked but they wanted most to sit at onejof the Congressman's desk. They selected their own secretarys. Ann cnose rsaroara aiisiuii irum Hpnnner and Marv chose Ronda McDonald from Antelope. The two McElligotts with Con nie Kasari of Stanfield wrote and introduced a bill banning all cigarette machines from pub lic places except at taverns and lounges. This was rejected and sent to committee. The second time it was introduced the bill passed. The song session in the Ro tunda and the last night candle light service in the sunken gar den on the Willamette Campus, they liked. Girls Meet When asked what they team ed at Girls' State they agreed that they had learned to get along with GIRLS. "If we go off to college, it will really help." They thought the girls from Eastern Oregon "hit it off real good". The girls from the bigger schools in the valley were more sophisticated and sure of themselves. When asked if they thought Boys' State and Girls' State could be held at the same t.mc on the Willamette Campus, one of them said, "Wouldn't you know we'd miss it" and in the same breath, "I don't think it would work"! They didn't enter the talent show. They enjoyed the county parties. Food was good. "Did you go to the Governor's Man sion for tea". "Oh yes, we went and our 'little white gloves'!" "The : cookies were good. They had fudgies". One remembered the big chandelier in the din ing room and the other a huge fondue pot. More Info They feel that the Girls' State delegates need to be better in formed before they go. Delegates should talk to the girls of the Junior class. There should be more competition to get to go more . incentive to going and with Interviews and speeches.
