POPPY DAYS
MAY 18-19
Poppy Days are here again
and poppies w ill be made avai
lable here May 18 & 19 by
the Heppner unit of the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary.
Mrs. C.J.D. Bauman, Pop
py chairman, says "By wear
ing a Poppy, you will honor
more than half a million
Americans who died during
World War I, World War II,
Koren War and Vietnam Con
flict." Making poppies is the only
opportunity for many of the
veterans to earn money
duri ng the time they are in
the hospital. It is also used
as therapy. It is a happy day
in a hospital or work shop
when a large order is re
ceived. The materials are
furnished free by the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary in the
states where the hospitals are
located.
All Poppy proceeds go
directly to aid disabled war
veterans and their families.
Traditionally there has ne
ver been any price fixed to
the Poppies but donations of
any amount are acceptable.
The basic purpose is to offer
to the American public the op
portunity to honor the war
dead and assist the living.
In 1971, the poppies sold
in Heppner came from the
hospital at Roseburg. This
year they were made by the
veterans at White City Domi
ciliary. BISHOP SPOFFORD will be
at the All Saints Episcopal
Church May 21 for Confir
mation services. Members
are asked to bring a simple
dessert to enjoy following the
service.

Local Chamber Hears
of Housing,
At Monday's Chamber of
Commerce m?eting at the
Wagon Wheel, Harold Kerr
told of the quarterly Mor
row County Rural Develop
ment committee meeting. It
was held here Fridayandwas
concerned mostly with the
housing problems here. He
reported that people came
from as far away as La
Grande and Hermiston. He
said that the housing problem
in Heppner is not getting
solved. Expansion of the Kin
zua Corp. will bring a number
of families here.
Louis Baxter of Farmers
Home Administration at
tended the Friday meeting and
stated loans are available
thru banks and FHA to sub
sidize certain types of build
ing according to income.
One man at the meeting
spoke on modular homes he
has for sale. To be an eco
nomic investment, a mobile
home court would need 40
units and require some seven
acres; more if on a hill
side. Possibly lone and Lexing-
RECYCLING INFO
GIVEN
John Matthews, the gra
uate student from Oregon
State, who spoke enthusias
tically and knowingly on Re
cycling last Fri. had a real
good handbook on Recycling.
If you are interested in se
curing " The Recyclers Hand
Book, a guide for Community
Action" write for it to Con
tinental Can Co. in Walla
Walla, Wa.
He also said that beer dis
tributors in Pendleton would
accept any kind of aluminum
cans and other household alu
minum. Distributors are Ra
nier, Olympia, Blitz Wein
hard and Carling. He sug
gested before taking over an
accumulation it would be a
good idea to contact them to
see which days they would
accept them, hours, place,
etc.
They will also accept bot
tles that are returnables to
dealers. They pay 50 cents
a case.
He distributed Household
Ecology sheet s with Recycl
ing hints for Mothers and
others. The Gazette-Times
will print these from time
to time.
HINTS: Use natural re
pellents instead of insecti
cides in your garden. Mari
golds', painted daisies and
many herbs (garlic) natural
ly repel insects. Or make
a spray from them using an
atomizer. Some insects are
good: slugs, worms, spiders,
snakes, grasshoppers, pray
ing mantises and lady bugs.
Encourage them by providing
dark "hiding" places.
Spreading coffee grounds at
tracts worms and beer at
tracts slugs. Destroy or iso
late diseased plants. Slight
ly soapy water won't harm
plants but effectively elimi
nates aphids.
Progress is being made to get the Swimming pool ready
for the summer swimming season. The outside walls have
been replaced as good as new. On the right of the picture,
the waterline of the May 1971 flood is still discernible.
County Court
Airport to Port of Morrow
At the My J meeting of
the Morrow CountyCourt.tbe
members aproved having
the District attorney talk with
the Port of Morrow In regard
to their taking over the C oun
ty Airport. The court felt
they might be Interested In
that it is a revenue produc
ing property. Preiently the
house rents for 1150 , the
wheat lease Is $300 a ear.
Insurance and taxes have gone
up to 400. This leaves oiJy
$50 I year to fo Into main
tenance. The deed shows no house
on the projierty.
In the discussion, It s
reported that at present there
is no charge at the airport
for parking planes. Mr. Win
ter noted that the cost to tie
down a plane at The Dalles
is $12. Mel Boyer rents
the house and Is in charge
of the Airport.
Sheriff John Mollahan re-
Recycling
ton may absorb the housing
need by additional building
there to help In the short
age at Heppner.
Mayor Collins said there
had never been water ration
ing here. He said cost of
a new water line from up
the creek would be $90,000
for the material plus instal
lation. When the Willow Cre
ek project comes, some fi
nancial help is expected In
water line rebuilding.
Mrs. Garry Tullls, exten
sion aide, reported on a re
cycling meeting held at Hep
pner High last Friday. This
meeting was a coopera
tive venture and included
lone, Lexington and Heppner
extension people and stu
dents, TOPS Club members,
Heppner City Council and the
Environmental Council.
John Matthews, represent
ing the Oregon Environment
tal Council, anFxtenslonpro
gram, covered the pitfalls and
economics of a recycling pro
gram. He explained the mech
anics of the program, where
and how to obtain people and
help. It was noted most of
the programs are started by
young people and women.
It was brought out to be
a very good way to obtain
cooperation with a number of
communities.
He told of markets for va
rious commodities such as
crushed glass and metals.
Rev. Ed Cutting told of pric
es obtained such as $200 a
ton for aluminum. Some kinds
of crushed glass bring $20
a ton but the shipping costs
most of that. Trick is to
find a market, get a truck
er to advise on shipping.
Because of the poison in
printing inks, there is almost
no market for naner.
