Jaycees Plan
Beard Contest
If you see young men around
here who forgot to shave,
forget it! They're either Mor

folks cooperating with them.
The re growing beards for
a contest. Prizes are planned
for the beard growers In
honor of Heppner' s Centen
nial. While there are to be other
ideas considered, one of their
definite projects is a big
horseshoe pitching contest.
These will be held during
the Centennial observance
during the Morrow County
Fair.
We've not learned whether
there will be any painful tor
ture for those who fail to
grow beards. In some towns,
miscreants are tossed into
horse troughs or placed in
open air boosegows. (The
town of Joseph often has a
Whlskerino. Those not wish
ing to either grow a beard
)r tosuffer the consequences,
may purchase aShave Permit
. . . for ten bucks! )
Wilderness Meeting
Next Week

will be in the main theater
room at the Blue Mountain
Community College beginning

Each of three Forests have
completed Identification of
these areas and the results
will be discussed at this meet
ing. Some of the areas iden
tified will be recommended to
the Chief of the Forest Ser
vice for study and possible
inclusion in the National Wil
derness PreservationSystem
Some of the roadless areas
will not qualify for classi
fication as Wilderness as de
fined in the Wilderness Act
of 1964.
This initial public review
meeting will help the Forests
determine if their tentative
choices will reflect the de
sires of the people. The
areas finally selected for wil
derness study will be pro
tected to preserve their wil
derness potential until a fi
nal decison is made.
Formal public hearings will
eventually be held before wil
derness proposals are sub
mitted through the Adminis
tration to Congress.
Brochures containing in
formation on each area Id
entified are being prepared
and will be distributed, to
the public before the April 1
meeting. The brochures will
also be available at the meet
