helped by Stan Miles of the
Extension Service using the

the survey of southern Mor
row County residents to find
out how businesses can be im
proved. Richard Sar g e n t ,
chairman of the Merchant's
Committee of the Heppner
Morrow Colunty Chamber
ofCommerce. savs that this
survey has been a valuable
tool "to help us know what the
community wants and to
improve our services and fa
cilities here."
The main result of the work
of the Extension Agent and
Employment Counselor, with
the help of the county exten
sion staff, is to make employ
ment services locally orien
ted Also programs of many
agencies, heretofore thought
inapplicable to rural areas
have been introduced and are
succeeding because of the
genuine interest of the local
citizens.
Employment news articles
have been, and will be. ap
pearing in each counties'
newspaper and an estimated
20 percent of all of the resi
dents of the area have been
met bv the Extension Agent
and Employment Counselor.
It is hoped that all citizens will
know of, and comment on this
program. Your local Exten
sion staff will be glad to ans
wer any questions.
