Everyone who wants u bargain this year, will buy a Morrow County Fair button. The white buttons have green lettering: MORROW COUNTY FAIR & RODEO Aug. 23-29. They will go on sale this week. The buttons sell for 50c and are good for admit tance? to all four days of the fair. Daily admittance is 25c. This is the first year there has been an admittance charge to the Fair. The amount is nominal and shouldn't keep any one from going to the Fair. . . , The break from tradition comes as a result of the evalu ation of the Morrow County Fair by representatives from the State Fair. State money is paid on a basis of points. By charging admission, the Morrow County Fair gains points which means more money. All About Horses By DWIGHT STEWART Teddy Jones of Bartlett, Texas writes I hove two problems with my two-year-old filly. One Is she carries her head too low when I ride her. The other is I can't lecd her if I stand by her shoulder, which is the proper way, in my opinion. What can I do to solve these problems? The height of a horse's head is controlled by the rider's hands. High hands high head, and vice versa. It is easy to bring a horse's head up and very difficult to put it down. Carry your hands higher and make her walk faster; her head will come up. A lazy horse likes to poke along with his head down and usually stumbles while poking along. Wake her up and make her hurry at the walk. I answered your leading problem not long ago, but it is a common one and so deserves some discussion. To lead properly a horse must go forward freely. He must want to go. He must have impulsion. This impulsion, or forward motion must come from the trainer. Lead your filly with your right hand and carry a buggy whip or a willow switch six to eight feet long in your left hand. Carry the whip pointing to the rear and touch your filly on the hind quarters with it until she leads well. Wake her up a little, but do not use the whip for punishment; on ly to make her walk faster. Tad Walker of Clovig, New Mexico asks My appaloosa mare doesn't want to leave the barn. She rears up. turns around and backs up. She rides all right when I get away from the bam. Is she bam sour? What can I do about it? The expression 'barn sour' fits your mare. It is hard to correct. It usually comes from riding a horse around the barn or up and down the road near the barn. When you ride your mare, go somewhere! Don't hang around the barn. There Is only one way to get her to go and that is with a whip or spurs. Warm her hind quarters with the whip until she wants to leave the barn. Don't whip her on the head, for you want her to go forward. You may need some help from the ground the first time or two. Make her un derstand that she must go. Then go some place! In-Service Program On Drug Education Open to the Public The Morrow County District wide teacher in-service day will be held in the Riverside Jr.-Sr. High School Auditorium begin ning at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 2. This year's program has been arranged by Richard Schlaadt who was responsible for con ducting a series of one week workshops on drug education for the Oregon Board of Education during the 1970-71 school year. Superintendent Ron Daniels, has stated that the program will deal with drug education both at school and at home and is designed to provide assistance to both the teacher and the par ent. The program was specific ally prepared to be of interest to the public and Supt. Daniels emphasized that the public is invited and encouraged to at tend the entire program.

Talk your friends Into joining and travel in a car pool. Home from Canada Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Watkins and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Ball and son Randy returned home Saturday, Aug. 14, from their extensive camping tour to Can ada. Both families took camp ers to stay in the state and private campgrounds. The sight seeing trip took them to the Okanogan Valley, into Canada, to Banff, Calgary, Jasper and down through the Kamloops. While staying at Jasper, both families saw a 5 point Elk and 5 (2 cubs) Black Bears in the camping grounds they were staying at. The country seemed dry and there were several occasions when they heard of fires in the area. But the weather seemed very pleasureable to all of the travelers. They also got the opportunity to visit the Columbia Ice Fields where the Columbia starts in Canada. Beautiful was the on ly word to express it. Mrs. Ball commented on the number of other tourists from the U. S. She says Canada seem ed to be a well traveled country. REMEMBER THIS? ....REMINISCE!

During per iods of depression irovernment should spend more than it takes in and thus increase the sud ply of money, that shortage of which was deemed to be the cause of the depression. This was to be offset in periods of prosperity and Inflation by the government reversing its policy and collecting more tax than it was paying out, hence govern ment would soak up the excess funds and curtail Inflation. Modern politicians like to talk about the first half of this program but rarely mention the curtailment half of the propos al. The first half of the Keynes lan theory was enthusiastically launched by Franklin D.

QUESTION: Before I applied for a farm deferral this year I talked to o rural aoDraiser in the assessors office and learned that the farm-use value of my property would be an estimated 900. I then applied for special assessment as farm land, but the assessor thereafter placed a farm-use value of $3,116,000 on the roll. On April 21. 1971 I sought to withdraw the farm- use application and the asses sor refused. Can my application be withdrawn after the April 1 due date for filing for special assessment? ANSWER: As a general rule, the asses sor does not have specific au thority to accept applications for withdrawal of petitions after April 1. However in this partic ular case, the application should be accepted. This is on the prin cipal that the assessor's state ments misled you. If there Is no question concerning the fact that the deputy in the perform ance of his duties did misinform the taxpayer, the Court would follow a similar case, where It was stated that the principle of equitable estopped could only be applied when there was proof that the taxpayer was misin commercial storage facilities in the county is 1,638,000 and a total crop of 2,500,000 bushels is expected.

Union, Ore., has just this sort of group under the title of "Blue Sage Tac Team", a group that thrills crows wherever they go with their precision riding, and daring jumps. These girls ride bareback, with only an old timers gimmick, a Tac Rein around the horses neck. When jumping their singles, doubles, triple jump, and Trudy Kohl's daring high jump, they extend their arms as they go over the bar. This is a piece of show manship, but a 'must for bal ance. Trudy Kohl, pictured, spreads her arms in perfect coordination with her horse as she takes the high jump during one of the practice sessions. At the pres ent Trudy does this same jump without the aid of her Tac Rein ... it is removed just as she starts her jump. Janice Trump and Ricky Kohl are pictured in the double jump in one of their recent shows. Other members of the feattured jump team are: Janette Langford, Donna Huffman, Carole Bronson, Susan Kohl, Carol Mackey. Oth ers appearing with the team are: Carol McCrae, Janice Smith, Cindy Tartar, Vicky Bur ford, and Stacey Hanson. In 1970, the team appeared in Heppner with only 7 girls fea tured on the Tac Rein, but this spring all were in training, and will be appearing Bareback, and with Tac Reins only, just as they have all season throughout Northeastern Oregon and Wash ington.
