HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thuraday, August 19, 1971 County Harvest Nears Completion Wheat harvest is going into the final round here in Morrow County with about 80 complet ed. Most of the grain yet to be . cut is on the higher level. County wide the yield is about the same as last year. Average yield according to the Morrow County Grain Growers is 28-30 bushels. This is excluding the Irrigated wheat Some of this is said to be 100-plus bushels per acre. The late frosts and that cold April are believed to hurt what otherwise would have been bumper crop. The quality of both the wheat and barley are better this year. Test weight is running about 64 pounds per Dusnei. There s no grain on the ground in Morrow County. Ranch storage and elevators will hold the entire crop. Morrow County Grain Growers can store over 3 million bushels. They have 9 elevators and 7 stations. All are operating except McNab which to practically filled. They whipped some wheat from Mc Nab during harvest. The Long Shoreman strike is hurting Morrow County, in that we're losing foreign sales. Sev eral million bushels that ordin arily come off the west coast have been purchased elsewhere, from the east coast or gulf coast. In talking about the strike Riley Munkers at the Morrow County Grain Growers said the contracts of the east coast and gulf coast longshoremen were to expire Sept. 30. ' .

DICK YOUR STANDARD MAN Can solve your problem He's in Heppner, 676-9633 Standard Oil Company of California Chevron Don Peters and Pat Merrick, two personable young students at the Oregon Medical School who are in the Preceptorship program in Pendleton were guest speakers at the Heppner Soroptimist Club Thursday noon at the Wagon Wheel. Pat Merrick explained their program which was a combin ation of Preceptorship and Ex tcrnship. St. Anthony Hospital provided them with board and room and $300 a month. They assisted or observed in surgery each morning, then helped out in the wards the balance of the morning. One or the other is on emergency call nights and weekends. A physician in Pendleton sponsors them in the Preceptor ship program. They work the afternoons in a doctor's office, a different one each week. John Day Hospital has a medical student in the Precept orship program. They noted that most of the married students took Preceptorship closer to Portland as their wives were us ually working. Ilene Wyman, Pioneer Memor ial Hospital administrator, was a guest at the meeting. She told the boys she knew of the program but hadn't realized that a hospital as small as ours could participate in the pro gram. Don Peters gave some insights as to what a young doctor might be looking for following gradua tion. He said even though as a student they might have come from a small town by the time they have completed their college and medical school and also his wife. If the wives aren't satisfied, pretty soon the pres sure is on to move. He said it would be easier to get a doctor to come where there was already a doctor. There's no leisure time, if there is only one doctor. He suggested that the com munity could guarantee a loan intern, they had spent 9 years ,to ,' tn a stll,w A young doctor looks for a place where he can do his work.
