thought out and carried through
a personal philanthropic project
recently. Ella Mae wanted very
much to help orphan in Korea.
She decided to sell garden pro

her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Creen who contributed the gar
dening, Ella Mae loaded her
small wagon and started out.
She sold over $11.00 worth of
fruit and vegetables and now
is hopeful to earn a little more
money to add to her personal
contribution to the Holt organ

for diapers for Korean orphans
and determined to do something

various points In the Columbia
River Basin to help assure the
safe operation of the facilities.
Another program which could
dovetail readily with Morrow
County's plans to develop a "nu-clear-agro
lndustrlol complex" la
the group which plans to study
various means of using warm
water discharges from power
blasts In beneficial ways and to
encouruge the development of

An agro-Industrial complex as
foreseen by those long tange
planners of Tort of Morrow and
other agencies is also referred
to as a "nuplex" or r.uclear en
ergy center.
Loti of Water
In discussing the agro nuclear
concept. It Is important to un
derstand that nuclear power
plunts require vat quantities of
cooling water to condense the
steam used In the turbine-gen-
erators. A modern J OKI mega-
watt nuclear power plant tc
oiilns 50 to CO million gallons
of cooling water per hour. This
wider is nonradioactive since
it ilx-a i iu( nine into contact
with the nuclear reaction. The

REPORTS AT CHAMBER
At Monday's Heppner-Morrow
County Chamber of Commerce
luncheon, reports were made on
various projects.
Harold Kerr told of the inter
est shown on the bus tour of
the new farms and the nuclear
power plant sites In the North
End. Larry Mills told of the ex
periment by Boeing in their
garbage test plots. He empha
sised that this-is strictly a test,
so far. The garbage 70 being
paper and paper products is
brought up from Portland af
ter a little processing or shred
ding by a Vancouver firm. It
is poured over the test tract on
the Boeing property and tilled
Into the soil going in perhaps
eight or ten inches deep. They
plan to seed and Irrigate. Mr.
Mills said if the plan proves
feasible, next spring they will
barge up about a thousand tons
daily. At present, the material
is not shredded as finely as
they expect to, later. OSU ex
perts are on the tract making
Studies to determine the value
of the project, whether it will
help hold the blowing soils,
whether the material will add
fertilizing properties, and other
factors.
Dale Boner stated that Lake
Penland project will be inspect
ed by the Soil Conservation
Service, U. S. Forest Service and
Oregon State Game Commission
officials.
Nona Sowell and Vel Robinson
