April 25. 1972 Bring Sun Into Their Lives We seem to K' bettor supplied itli lots of questions and too fr answers. Nevertheless. e think there's a real tig challenge here for all of us Morrow ccutitians. A sketch us shown In Hob I ne to Pioneer Memorial Hospital board members Thurs. of a invisible solarium. A num'vr of people have pointed out that there is a great premium on space. . And there is definitely a need for more sunlight. In this proposal, there would be actually two solariums. One would be constructed on top of the other so that both floors would be served. It would moan a little addition measuring 12 ft. 8 in. In 23 feet. It would be complete with big. insulated sunny windows, would bo heuted from the same furnace now ased and would have air condition ing. It would provide room for both patients and visitors and could have some potted plants to add more cheer Several patients have told us of how much better they felt when it was a sunny day. Cost a year ago for such a project was $23,000. Today, it might be mire. Where's the money to come from'1 Just after income tax time, such a proposal may seem rather unusual. Put som 'thing we ve noticed about Mor row Countians. If they decided those sunny rooms were really needed up there, they'd find a way to get them. Who's to take the lead for a fund drive for a fine purpose like this0 POSTER WINNERS "Color Your Life with 4-1!" wis Erin Evans' entry in the Oregon 4-H Poster Content winch was selected to go to the National Contest.

Drawing for the Terrain cycle. Supper is a deep fat fried prawn feed at 6:30 p.m. To the Kditor: I am a farmer and cat tleni'ii with a lifetime of ex perience in Northeast Ore gon's IV lie Mountains. I have seen gixnt and poor times as has everyone in this busi ness. I have seen farming become niore and nore mar ginal due to increasing costs during the last few years. I attended the Forest Ser vices' " I'nroaded Area" pub lie meeting at Pendleton, Apr. 1, and I observed it with con siderable interest and con cern. It cam: to my mind that the people who were requesting that alld'.soussion areas be reserved virtually "wilderness classification" were overlooking one very important point. These re quests were urging the For est Service to manage most of the 34 discussion areas in an undeveloped and unm.inag ed condition. They did not appear to be concerned that the loss of allowable tim ber cut available for harvest ing, by placing these areas in a deferred category, will greatly affect Northeast Ore gon's economy and increase everyone's property taxes. This economic loss and tax increase will create a sub marginal agricultural econ omy. Therefore, the private land owner must make a choice of the following alter natives: 1 Lose his property by being unable to pay his pro perty taxes. 2 Or, change his method of operation T:iis management change most, by necessity, require a greater return from his property. A " " financial in crease can be accomplished y; changing from free-entry hunting to paid-entry hunting. Tnere is presently available an increasing deinn I ny pri vate sporlsm n clubs who will pay lucrative prices for these hunllng area privileges. The private landowner does not willingly choose to adopt these management alter natives but "l.ocklng-up" Forest Service lands for li mited use will mike this de cision a necessity. I firmly believe this de cision can be and must be avoided by managing all For est Service resources for all of the people. It is the ma nagement of these resources above and below the ground that makes this country eco nomically prosiwrous so we can enjoy the leisure time to recreate in It. Very truly yours, Gerald Swaggert Dear Sir: The Morrow County Rifle and Pistol Club invites the public to voice their opin ions concerning deer and elk regulations for the coming seasons at the next club meet ing, May 3 at 8:00 P.M. at the Morrow County Court house. The club annually submits Its recommendations to the Came Commission concer ning big game management in the Ileppner, Wheeler, and Columbia Basin Units. Due to the apparent public concern this year, especially pertain ing to our deer herds, the club feels that public opinion should be included in our recommendations. The re comntendatins which come from the May 3 meeting will then be sent to the May 7 meeting of the Eastern Or egon Sportsmen s Council maeting, and then on to the Game Commission hearing in Portland on Miy 20. If you are truly concerned about the future of deer and elk in this area now is the time to speak up, attend the meeting and voice your opin ion. The club also wishes to thank all the concerned people who attended our Conserva tion Practices tour April 23. Your participation made the tour a success. Sincerely, Donald K. Stroeber President Morrow County Rifle and Pistol Club Three I beams ore miss ing last week that had been used In the Kirk Street Hrldgo. They were used tie fore the U S. Corps of Fn glneers did their work and had been borrowed by the City from Morrow County, The Z foot sleel beams weighed ton each and mere worth about $220 a piece. Any vol unteers to help nail down our new prestressed concrete bridges? . Someone Rent us a compar ison on meal prices as put In the Congressional Record by Sen. Curtis of Nebraska. Prime cattle Jan. 9, 1952 were J39 per hundred weight. Twenty years later (Feb. 1G, 1972) prime cattle were $38 per hundredweight. Retail meat, however, showed ham burger in 1932 at 4'.lca pound. In 1972 it was 9Uc a pound in Nebraska supermarkets. It didn't get that high here, however. Delightful rump roast was available here last week at 89c a pound and well worth It. Merlyn Robinson dropped us a nice note the other day. "It was certainly terri fic being honored by being recipients of the Honorary Chapter Farmer award pre sented by our son at the an nual FFA banquet. Don and 1 should have stated that the rewards of eighteen years of trials and tribulations are not often publicly applauded inis seems to oe askinc a lot after living here most of our lives. If our children weren't so involved with ranch and livestock, ourdo-lt-ourselves thing, we would have arrived more promptly for the banquet. The hoys and girls involved deserve a large hand themselves fi r a most rewarding evening for all."

Morrow County, with 4422 vehicles. Is to receive $8,107.07. (Fd, Note; This Is fin and all appreciate It. How ever, as has hern pointed out before, our county desnr ately needs more money to maintain Its vast network of roads. Morrow County Is larger than some eastern states, Riwd crews luvedom a good job of maintenance and repair In the face of an unkind winter whose freeing and thawing almost wrecked some of our roads. In addition, blowing sands In the North End have cost alxutt $10,000. Therefore, JHOOO from the state Is hardly a bonanza. We would dearly enjoy seeing, a bigger slice for our rural area roads. We may not have the big pop ulation of western Oregon, hut we have some mighty long nods.)

Morn ing. Someone had drained fuel oil from big tanks -probably about 200 gallons. The tanks provide oil for the Oddfellows Hall. Most of the oil went over the ground, some entered a ground-level window and en tered the drug store base ment, some went under a corner of the G-T build ing. Some oil appeared to have leaked from a bucket all the way around to the back of Elma's Apparel. Because of the danger of fire, tiie volunteer Fire Dept. sprayed foam all over the area, some 600 gallons. The G-T and Murray's gratefully thank the firemen for their good efforts. A big thanks to the Jaycees for their time and efforts, too. They have installed an under ground sprinkler system at the City Park playground. This will do away from a dusty play area. When we say DOWN, we must mean UP. Anyway, last week we had a story headed "First National De posits Down". Actually, they are way up this quarter, some $756,988 over a year ago.
