Live Stock and Meat Board, is observing its 50th Anniversary. In the course of that observance, it has emv.'jvored to tell the public of some of the things that the in 1l:.-t and the Meat Board have done in behalf of consumer, as el! as the industry during the past five decades The Board has consistently followed a program of promotion, education, iniorniation and scientific research. It has sought to stimulate me efforts of the meat industry to present a desirable, piatable, high quality and nutritionally acceptable product to the American people, and the industry has done its job well. It has solved its problems without government help, built demand for its products and advanced the cause ot independence m j: iculture. Success in all of these areas has meant one thing to -ons-aming public- the availability of a bounteou neat n:a;ter where we may live in our three million square i.adcr. By telling of the achievements of the meat industry during the ebse-vation of its Golden Anniversary, the .National Live Stock and Meat Board is helping to build public understanding of a vita' industry at a time when that understanding is most crnica.iv neebed. f vi f V DEAR EDITORS; Ttie ( enleiinial i really Tops".

They have just published a special edition of their Heppner paper which marks that city's lwth anniversary. The edition of 73 pages is complete with many stories of historical value and it will be a valuable reference in the future for those interested in Heppner's and Morrow county's past. A job of this size is a tremendous undertaking for the staff of small weekly paper. No doubt the Heards labored long and hard to complete this excellent edition of their paper and the effectiveness of their efforts is reflected in an outstanding result. The Heards are to be complimented on the centennial edition cf the Heppner Gazette-Times.

County To Get Forest Money Oregon and Washington counties with National Forest lands will receive W1.6 million in receipts from National Forest earnings in fiscal year 1972. an increase of $12 million from the previous year. Regional Forester T.A. Schlapler said the 1972 alloca tion is just Sl.3 million short of the record $42 9 million alloca ted to the concerned counties from fiscal year 19 earnings. The payments mailed to treasurers of the two states represent 25 percent of the receipts from all resources and uses of the National Forests, including timber har vest, grazing, minerals, rec reation, power, and other land use Payments are proportioned according to National Forest acreage, with counties using the money for public roads and schools. Oregon counties since 1906 have received a total of approximately $325.6 million, while Washington counties have been allocated $142.2 million as their share of National forest earnings. Morrow County will receive $5ti,7l7.59; Grant County, $1,113,608.36; Wheeler County, S125.-432.58. Sutherland, entered the serv ice together in World War II and were in the Medical Corps Bill later took Officer's Training and Don stayed in the regular Corps. I suggested Don let Bill Sutherland know about this since there is so much about the Morrow family in The Centennial and I am sure he would want some copies And also working in Duni way Park is Ed Linde. who with his brother, William worked during harvest in the lone wheat fields at one time. He remembers Verner Troedson. Carl Troedson, Art Stefani among others He also mentioned the late Hi Eng elman. Ed remembers the hot summer h a r v e s ts in the Gooseberry district, the old header boxes and other fea tures of "Ye olde harvesting crew " east of the mountains. Ed also remembers moving wheat sacks and there under neath in the cool shade would be a rattlesnake, only Ed didn't wait around Congratulations on a job well done. Josephine Mahoney Baker Terwilliger Plaza ' Portland. 97201 Future Citizens GOOD JOB The Heppner Gazette-Times must be complimented for puoiisning a most attractive special edition marking the citv's 100th birthday. It was quite an undertaking for the staff of a weekly newspaper. Historians will find it a valuable reference in vears to come In going through it they will be puzzled, we anticipate, bv a small section at the back of the newspaper. Much of it is devoted to attacking rodeo as a sport that is cruel to animals. I! was paid for by persons who hold that conviction Elsewhere in the paper the rodeo that is a central feature of the Morrow Countv Fair is extolled. -Micnelle Lynne, 6, mo. old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Beck, lone. Nazarene Church Has New Pastor? Only comment we can offer is thai tne publishers of the Gazette-Times. Charles and Dorothy Heard, are committed to presenting both sides of an issue and that s good journalism. 'East Oregonian) IT MADE US SICK to run out of time, space, have a broken arm and other complications too numerous to mention that some stones didn't ge: finished in time for the Centennial issue. A most important one that should have been in was the storv of pioneer photographerMr. SigsbeeJhe early pictorial record of Heppner and it's pioneers would never have been recorded if it hadn't been for him. Evidence of his marvelous craftmanship is to be seen in most every business place and office in Heppner. His sweeping landscapes were taken long before the wide angle lense They were taken with the camera that made a sweep from one side of the view to the other. The Sigsbee Story, the Gilliam family weather story as well as tne history of the iamous Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware Store, the old Depot story and many other families are yet to be told. Any family that has an account of the arrival of their family in Morrow County and some of those early incidents recorded are urged to write them up and bring them in for future printing. Tnis is still the Centennial vear Rev. and Mrs. Forest Godin have moved to Heppner to assume the Position as new pastors of the Church of the Nazarene. Tney have recentlv gradua ted from the Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Colo prior to pastoring in Arnold. Neb. Trey have received a warm welcome in Heppner and are already enjoying the city. The -God ins have one daughter. Sherry, in the third grade, and three children still at home Greg. Gwen. and Sandra. "V.'e are very happy to be located here in Heppner and anticipate a wonrjertul minis, try here", said Rev. Godin. 1 To The Editor: The results of the business survey conducted this past summer by the Mor row Chamber of Commerce are completed & available to all at the County Extension Office. We would at this time like to express our appreciation to the following who made this survey possible: Residents of this area who took the time & effort to complete the survey questionnaire -The Oregon State Extension Service with the leadership of Harold Kerr & Stan Miles -Columbia Basin Electric & Columbia Power Electric for mailing lists & Heppner High Faculty 4 Students who typed envelopes We Thank you all Future Citizens TO THE EDITOR I recently nlleiuled the Morrow County Rodeo and as usual enjoyed the many fun activities tillered throughout the weekend My congratulations lo Tom Currin and his committee (or putting together a fast moving and interesting rodeo pro gram The Saturday morning Par ade was hilighted with nasi Rodeo Queens; and the Cen tennial Hand truly deserved the encore it took bv marching and playing up Main Street a second time. However, one recent Mor row County celebrity was noticeably absent from the parade line up: Chen Carlson. As Miss Teenage Oregon, she brought home one of the most prestigious honors available to young women in the state. Honors of this standing do not come to Morrow County residents all that frequently, and I think that this parade would have been a most appropriate time and place to show Mrs Carlson our support for her outstanding efforts I do hope there is a valid excuse for her absence.

End of Tussock Moth Seen The Forestry Service will provide tussock moth eggs to the Research Center Insect ury, located at laikeview, Ca. where worms will he hutched from the eggs. Worms will then Ik- infected with the virus and quantities of the virus preparation will be produced. The tussock moth is u major destroyer of the Douglas Fir and consequently it is a severe problem in the Pacific North west. It is a cyclic cst, with the greatest damage occurr ing in three to five year cycles. Although DDT has been used successfully in the past, the 1,'SDA has been seeking an alternative to toxic chemicals for the past few years and the viral material shows great promise as a biological wea pon against this insect. Alter completing a prelimi nary contract for experimen tal and research work, Nutri lite Products, Incorporated, has been awarded a contract for the production of a virus insecticide that will kill the iHiuglas Fir tussock moth, known officially as Virus (BV strain Hemerocampa Pseud otsugata McD. The conttract has been awarded by the United States Dcpnrtmant of Agriculture Forestry Service, Region 6, with headquarters in Port land, Oregon. According to Edward B.

MINN., MESSENGER: "We might send this one in to some of the government bureaus which are constantly seeking ways to spend our money. It seems that a research director of a major government agency was ordered to study aoout fleas. He obtained a flea with a high IQ. placed it on his desk and finally succeeded in training it to jump over his finger cn spoken command. Then he removed two of the flea's legs. 'Jump he ordered, and the flea still jumped. Two more legs were removed. Again the flea responded to command. At last the final two legs were removed. 'Jump' the research director commanded, but the flea didn't move. The director then wrote a lengthy report on the project, concluding that: 'When a fiea icsts all six legs, it becomes deaf." A pious and venerable man. having lived a long and useful life, d,ec and went to his reward. Years later his old friend also died and upon arriving on the other side went searching for his old f -icnd. To his delight, he found him sitting on a large fluffy cloud v,t-i k beautiful blonde on his lap. "ou -' shouted the friend, "you sure have been given you reward!" "Keward. nothing," replied the old man, "I'm her punishment."
