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

LAST MINTTE REMINDER
Anglers Stag Night tonight
(April 27) at the Elks. Lots
of prizes. 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

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."

a good job of maintenance

Rod Murray discovered fuel
oil all over the back alley
behind the drug store and the
Gazette-Times Mon. 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.
