Call Kerr for County Land Use Info
Morrow County's Planning Commission Is anxious to at.
quaint everyone In tlx county with the comprehensive land
plan f r tin county. Harold Kerr has volunteered to travel
jinjtiini', mivwhere to speak before any croup that is inter-
ted ii hearing C'f the plan. He will be Hft-ompanied by a
member of the County Planning Commission. Every program
tiaiiinan is urged to line up ft speaking dale as soon as
l .-it li for "Mr. Kerr anil Company."
This comprehensive plan describes the inteiitlons of Mor
row County's elected and apKiinted officials with resect to
future development. According to Oregon Revised Statutes,
each county must have such plans Implemented by Jan. 1,
J 172.
Judge Jones taid he felt that Morrow County's progress
to dale would be satisfactory to the state and that Intentions
indicate the fulfillment of the law within a reasonable time.
Abstract:
The plan Is organized In seven sections: introductions,
planning background, land use, tran-srwrtntion, public facili
ties, housing and community plans.
The population, economic trends and opportunities an
ilescrilied. Land categories ore described in the land use sec
tion along with policies to guide their development.
The transportation section describes standards for roads
and services provided by nir, rail and water.
Plans for parks and recreation, water ami sewerage, solid
waste disposal and schools are described In the public facil
ities section. The housing section describes local housing
needs ai.d objectives for fulfilling those needs.
The last section describes the comprehensive plans for
the five Incorporated communities in the county as a basis
for coordinating planning efforts.
Following the presentation of the Comprehensive plan,
Mr. Kerr will review the zoning ordinance. Both were prepar
ed by Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield Planning con
sultants. Towns without zoning may adopt sections out of the
county plan to draft their own ordinances. County zoning
doesn't apply to Federal Land.
The formal hearing on the zoning ordinance is expected
to be held in February.

Apes and Men
BJorn Kurten, a professor at the University of Helsinki,
has written a book questioning the assumption that man de
M'cndcd from the apes who have been thought of, in a
sense, as distant cousins. Although he admits a case can
still he made for this assumption, he put forth another that
man evolved separately.
In fact, he even says there is a chance apes evolved from
man's early ancestors, not the reverse!
This will prove Interesting to some who have a pessimis
tic view of the world trend in general. It certainly raises the
question as to the direction In which the human race is head
ing. (NEWBERG GRAPHIC).

A Surprising Discovery
Our amateur anthropologist
claims to have made an amaz
ing discovery. After listening to
the chatter of some or our lead
ers in the upper echelons of
government and a study of
their physiognomies, he has
come to the conclusion that
some of them aro several gen
erations behind In the evolu
tion of man from the lesser pri
mates. In fact, he opines that
some of them are barely out
of the tree climbing stage. I
pass the idea on for what it isj
worth, if any.

To the Editors
Heppner Gazette-Times
Dear Dorothy and Charlie:
I was surprised to read re
cently in the G-T that I had
said it would probably be 1m
possible to make a livirg op
crating a motion picture theater
in Heppner because of TV. This
is not my opinion.
There are too many other di
versions and circumstances
which make the motion picture
theater business more difficult
than it was In its heyday, so
you cannot take one reason out
of context. To point the finger
of blame at TV alone is most
unfair. None of the competitions
for the theater dollar are in
surmountable.
It is my opinion that a small
theater, properly operated in
conjunction with other related
sources of income, by owners
with lots of enthusiasm and en
ergy could produce a satisfac
tory living wage. Among vital
requirements would be the in
itial investment and continuing
loyal patronage by the citizens.
A theater would be such an
asset to Heppner that I do not
want to be in any way connect
ed with discourajging such a
venture.
Very truly yours
(Mrs.) Elaine S. George
Mr. Don Col phoned to xry

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Heard:
We have enjoyed your news
paper so very much since the
death or my Bro. Jeff Walker.
We have read about so many
people ' and friends of Jeffs
since we were there we want
"my husband and I" want to
renew our subscription to the
Gazette-Times. I think the town
of Heppner and all around, the
people were most wonderful
people I ever met. Wish my
husband Dewey could have
been with me to meet the peo
ple. There has been floods and
fires since I was there and
every one has my sympathy. I
enclose another year's subscrip
tion for the paper. Please have
Merry Xmas and Happy New Yr.

Officers Elected
Mrs. Merlin Hughes was elect
ed president; Mrs. John Eu
banks, 1st vice president; Mrs.
Gary Grieb, 2nd vice president
and Mrs. Jerry Brosnan, secretary-treasurer.
The new president named the
following committee chairmen:
Father of the Year, Mrs. Allen
Hughes; Placemats, Mrs. Bob
Mahoney; Beef in the Schools.
Mrs. Raymond French; Beef cer
tificates, Mrs. John Venard;
father of the - Year barbe

Mrs. Hughes stressed the need
for more members and a money
making project the two big
things for the immediate fu
ture. She also said the group
would have a booth on Main
St. for the merchants' promo
tions such as Crazy Days. Side-
wam Bazaar and others.
Mrs. Clark reported on the
state CowBelles meeting. The
chairman In charge of consu
mer complaints said besides the
amount of fat in wieners an
other complaint has been excess
moisture in meat packages to
day. She said this is because
beef isn't hung for 10 or 12 davs
like it used to be. Now it "is
only 4S hours from hoof to the
meat case.
Other committee chairmen
urged the CowBelles: make the
community aware who the Cow
Belles are and begin the edu
cation for consumption of beef
in the Junior High and grade
school as well as high school.
