Ouch It Hurts!
At first it looked l.ke it would be ail rosy for the potato
harvesters if the railroad strike could just be settled in time.
Jt was almost but now the price of potatoes is so low that
they are hurting.
Then along came wheat harvest and what do we have but
the continuance of the longshore strike which has shut down
2! West Coast ports.
It is raising havoc with our export market. The market
at the end of last week saw indicated prices for white wheat
al SI. 54, hard red winter at $1-56 and barley at $41.00.
K'-re is how the market compares with last year:
Last Week Year Ago
White Wheat 1.54 1.57
Hard Red Winter 1.56 1.70
Barley 41.00 41.00
The longshoreman' strike appears to be no closer to
et Dement but negotiations were resumed in San Francisco.
Even if it were to be settled Immediately it would probably
take ( days for the market to clear itself and take some pos
itive direction according to Larry Mills, MCGG manager.
When the two Oregon congressmen vLsited the area this
Aug'j't vacation, they gave almost opposite opinions on the
longshoremans' strike. Senator Packwood said it would not
be treated as a national emergency because it was affecting
only a small part of the country. Congressman Al Ullman
said "It is an emergency" and he'd get right on it as soon
as he got back to Washington.
We haven't had any calls from either of these two offic
es. So it is a good bet that nothing is being done.
You wonder if the same situation existed on the Atlantic
Ma board how long it would take for it to be declared a Na
tional Emergency.
No one wins a strike.
It is beyond the comprehension of most of us, how so few
can hurt themselves as well as hurting so many of the rest
of us.
Jack Sumner, chairman of the
Morrow County School Board,
planned to go over to Pendle
ton Tuesday to pick up the new
football scoreboard. Jim Bier

It will be erected a little ways

Pondering
By W. S. CAVERHILL
ADVICE TO NIXON
In the face of the bitter out
cry of opposition from all the
labor and service unions who
have expressed themselves re
garding the "freeze", our advice
to Pres. Nixon Is to call In
wime of the leaders, Meany,
Able, Woodcock and Bridges
and say, "Boys, you say you
have no Intention of cooperat
ing with our program. Why
don't you write your own tick
et and present It to Congress?
Vour position is like that of the
Ozark hunter who saw a train
go into a tunnel, he said, 'Boys
go home and get your guns I
think we've something treed."'

How to Make It
'Here Today
There Tomorrow'
By POSTMASTER JIM DRISCOLL
The Postmaster General is
emphasizing a program to ef
fect rapid distribution of all
first class mail. He points out
that well over 50 of all First
Class mail deposited is address
ed for delivery at the local of
fice or in nearby communities.
To reach this goal of rapid and
accurate delivery, the Postmas
ter Genera! requests that pat
rons expand the use of Zip Code
on all mail.
For patrons of Heppner and
Lexington, local area mail
means all offices attached to
the Pendleton Sectional Center
that Is all offices from Baker
to Kinzua.
In addition the local area con
cept includes all offices attach
ed to the Kennewick, Wn., Sec
tional Center SCF 993. The Pen
dleton Sectional Center prefix is
978. All offices attached have
an additional two numbers to
identify their location,
The Pendleton Sectional Cen
ter, and the Kennewick Section
al Center are the two points to
which mail is directed eacji day
for redistribution on an inter
locking system of Star Routes
which should insure next day
delivery of First Class mall for
northeast Oregon and southeast
Washington. Remember Zip
Code is important for the rapid
handling of the mail at the
Sectional Centers.
All mail deposited at the
Heppner office no later than
5:45 p.m. will be dispatched to
meet the above described deliv
ery schedule. Remember for the
area concerned our motto is
"here today there tomorrow"!

Banks Important
In Farm Lending;
Credit Needs Grow
Oregon banks rem a ! b a
major source of credit and
other financial service a to
farmers In our State, according
, Tf.. '.. O r 1 K -mm
pner Branch, First National
Bank who represents the Ore
gon Bankers Assn. as Morrow
County Key Banker.
Based on the 30th annual
farm lending summary of the
Agricultural and Rural Affairs
Committee of the American
Bankers Association, Mr. Sager
reported that at the beginning
of the year, Oregon banks were
helping farmers with $148 mil
lion in loans. This total includ
ed $127 million in production
loans and $21 million in farm
mortgages. At the same time,
$89 million in farm loans w as
held by life insurance compan
ies, $134 million by the Federal
Land Banks, $118 million by
Production Credit Associations,
and $8 million in non-real es-
tafte loans by the Farmers Home
Administration. About 50 per
cent of the production credit
extended by lending Institu
tions to Oregon farmers came
from banks.
Mr. Sager said that "bankers
in Oregon are conscious of the
large capital investments re
quired in agriculture today and
are making a concerted effort
through inproved lending pro
grams to meet these changing
credit demands of the State's
farmers."
The increased use of credit by
farmers, according to Mr. Sager
hag been accompanied by a
substantial gain in the total
assets of farm families. There
fore, in the aggregate, the
equity position of farmers, con
trary to public opinion, is being
maintained at a satisfactory
level. Nationally, farm families
have $258 billion of their own
funds invested in agricuture.
This represents 81 per cent of
the total capital requirements
of farmers.
