HERE

County Chamber of Com
merce Monday. American
ized their names ere Nat
tun, Swami and Rao. They
are guests of Mrs. John Gra
ves and Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Jepsen while they are in the
county.
They told of tne extremes
of their country 0 to 120
degrees, nil to 400 in. of rain
fall, six major languages, a
civilization that began 3000
to 5000 B.C. They attained
independance in 1947. They
believe in Freedom of Speech
and Respect of Elders.
They have two major pro-blems-that
of fo'id production
and famil) planning. They
hope to reduce the size of
families by 2.5 percent to
1.5 percent.
The average size of a farm
is 3.5 compared to 306 in
America. They are working
to become self sufficient in
feeding 'heir large popu
lation. Theyraise rice, wheat
sorghum, peanuts, sugar
cane. They export tea, cof
fee, cashews and spices.
They import wheat.
They are on the threshold
of food exportation. They
will have 2 or 3 crops a year
off the same land. They are
appalled that farmers in Mor
row County keep some land
idle for a season.
Construction of the highest
dam in the world is expect
ed to provide irrigation wa
ters that will increase food
production.
India is the only republic
in Asia. They showed slides
of scenic spots In India from
the Market Place to die beau
tiful Taj Mahal.
The third speaker made an
eloquent plea for "quality
for All, neglecting none."
He spoke rapidly and only an
occasional phrase could be
understood. ..Develop potenti
alities of people as the dams
in the Columbia havedevelop
ed the rivers potential.. Noth
ing is impossible for man..
Happiness is a state of mind.,
emphasis should be on the af
firmative. ..He touched on the
man's physical, mental and
spiritual sides. "By train

THE
Heppner, Oregon
Heppner Flood Alerts
A flood alert is given to us through the Weather Bureau
and State Warning Bureau which tracks the clouds with radar.
If they feel there Is danger they notify the Countv.
An alert DOES NOT mean that we will have water. The
wind could change the path of the clouds or speed or slow
the clouds in our area.
Upon receiving the alert warning which the. State Warning
Bureau calls us, the alert will be sounded. The Creek Watch
will go into action.
There will be NO all clear. If, after a length or time, the
clouds tend to clear, we can go back to normal duties. You
will be notified by the City Police or Firemen.
The alert Is a sounding of the sirens consisting of three
10-second wails. DO NOT confuse this with the fire horn
which is an air horn, not a siren. Evacuation is a continous
blowing of the siren.
Remember, if we get an alert, do only what you have to
do and please do not drive around to see what is going on as
it just adds to the confusion. And it can only cause more
problems.
Any help will be appreciated. Contact any fireman, po
liceman or Sheriffs Office.
All parts have arrived and the new sirens are being in
stalled in Heppner this week.

Forum Set
Are you interested in the
management of your National
Forests? Do you wish to be
come involved?
If so the Umatilla National
Forest want to solicit your
ideas and opinions in a pub
lic forum to be held May 25
in the Main Theater Room at
BMCC, Pendleton. The pub
lic forum will begin at 7:30
p.m.
One of the Forest Service
objectives is to involve the
public in Forest policy and
program formulation. Re
cently, public meetings have
been held to discuss manage
ment alternatives on specific
areas. However, these meet
ings did not present the op
portunity for discussion on
land management activities.
H. B. Rudolph, Forest Super
visor, said that the
purpose of the public forum
is to give everyone an op
portunity to voice their op
inions and i deas concerning
the land management activi
ties on the Umatilla National
Forest.
The public forum will, not
have a formal agenda. To
get the meeting underway,
Supervisor Rudolph may
begin discussion on some to
pics that are of local con
cern. This public forum is the
first attempt by the Uma
tilla National Forest to in
volve the public, at-large,
in Forest policy and pro
gram formilation. It is hop
ed that such meetings can
become a regular oc
currence. . The public inter
est will determine whether
any other meetings will be
scheduled.
