Move That Bomb Range Help is coming from nelghlx-ring counties In requesting the Navy move its practice bombing operations to another location. Hut It appears that more ami more help must ordinate right here In Morro Count) to pet the ol. done. The Saw seems most reluctant to lose its bombing range as It' is Ideally located and suited to Its purposes. Several years ago, according to Cazette-Ttmes editorial.-., efforts ere being made to get the bombing ramie moved In one Instance an admiral and other high brass appeared EforT the SepJner.Morro County Chamber of Commerce and appealed to their listeners' patriotism to leave the range here it as. It seems to us the Navy hasn't clumped a bit. The Navy committed itself In 1939 to look for another site uhen the John Day Dam as completed. The Navy looked over at least six sites but never found any thine suitable or close enough to northeastern Washington Navy air stations. A good man government operations move slower than a dead turtle, "we have no way of knowing whether the Navy can I turned around in its thinking. It is plain howeve that moving the tombing range is the key to whether the Portland General Electric will be allowed to build the nuc lear power plant at Carty Reservoir near Boardman The Dlant with its irrigation provisions, is more important than eTer before as stringent controls for irrigating wells seems to be somewhere in the offing. Developments bv the Boeing Company and others in the Boardman area mean only one thing to us -- JOBS- Im portant side benefits will come from a reduction in taxes if the power plant can be built. If you've alreadv written the Secretary of Defense and our Congressmen, fine. PLEASE - do It again! A regular snow storm of letters may help speed up this important operation. About Beth Horn's Flower Book There s got to be some advantages to owning a weekly newspaper. One of the greatest arrived last week. A Wildflowers book by Elizabeth L. Horn. Every so often a publisher sends a book ... free. The right size for carry ing in a pack, color pictures taken in natural surroundings and categorized as to the surroundings where it can usually WhiUlt was written for the Cascades, read it completely vou'll find many old friends from the Blue Mountains. Flo wers like people are much more interesting and appealing if we know their names and a little about them. Is the fruit edible? Does tms plant get any bigger? Where else can It be found? Many of the flowers were familiar but no names. As I read about the author I became convinced ihat the Eliza beth Horn was "Beth Horn" whose husband Kirk taught at Heppner High School. Then later she gives a credit line to Kirk for pictures he took for the cover and pages 6 and 120. Then on page 92 there's a picture of Kirk seated in a meadow of wild flowers. The book is tremendous. Great for amateurs. The photo graphs will make identification fun. There's no price on the book but Touchstone Press Box 81, Beaverton, Oregon 97005 are the publishers. Send for a book. You 11 be glad you aia. MOTHERS! WE WANT PICTURES OF ALL THE CHILDREN IN THIS TRADING AREA TO PUBLISH IN A SPECIAL FEA TURE ENTITLED 'CITIZENS OF TOMORROW."

The real sheepskin script was nude up In Boston and the paper script was used in business. We sold the leather script as souven irs. I used to Like lots of It to Portland it was easy to sell and we nude money on this. The merchants were won derful and as I recall we stayed on It one year as real money.
