Dr. Wolff Honored Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Wolff spent a week in New York City where Dr. Wolff attended the National Convention of Ameri can Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Wolff was elected as one of 21 doctors in Oregon to be a Charter Fellow of the Academy. This means that a family physician is now recognized as a specialist and 33 of the 50 state universities now offer a specialty in Family Practice. The graduation and presentation of honors at the convention's end was held in Madison Square Garden. The Wolff's spent a week visiting friends and relatives and doing "fun things". They attended Radio City Music Hall and saw the Rockettes and also attended the Boston Symphony. Among those visited were Dr. Wolff's mother, his brother and sistcr-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wolff, Mrs. Wolff's sister, Sister Mary Salvator, and Mrs. Wolff's former roommate whom she had not seen since her wedding. Mrs. Wolff said the autumn colors as they drove through Wisconsin were really beautiful. DROUGHT & FROST DAMAGES PAID Mary McLeod with Federal Crop Insurance said today that FCI had . paid over $100,000 to Morrow County farmers.

Veterans Day supper In conjunction with Vet erans Day next Monday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., the Heppner American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 87 is cooking a pancake supper for all Legion members and families. All the food furnished. Sad ' Due to a lack of interest of the parents of our Cub Scouts, we are going to have to disband our program. We have about fifty interested boys for Cubs and Webelos with one interested parent to act as a den mother and one to act as a den mother coach and trainer The parents who put this program together two years ago have all taken on new responsibilities and various other work loads that will not allow them to continue their efforts to have a Cub Scout Pack in Heppner. In addition to this, their boys have almost all advanced into the Boy Scout group in which they naturally have a greater interest. It will be a great loss to the boys of Heppner to lose Cub Scouting but without proper leaders there is just no way to keep it going There is no way to operate a Cub Sout program with the number of boys that we have and put them all in one den. It wouldn't be fair to either the boys or the leaders. Our Christmas tree outings last year will long be remembered by all of the Scouts, Cubs and parents who took part. There were some younger boys that had never been to the mountains to do that sort of thing. It was a great experience seeing all of the kids selecting trees for their lot and HuutnuimnmHiiii hiuiik 09th Year Heppner, Oregon 97836, Thursdoy, October 19, 1972 Number " 1 MJmt A ljtlf i I - Mustangs Sink Rockets By GREG GREEN Pounding back the Pilot Rock defense in three long drives, Heppner scored three times to win their fourth game of the season lust Thursday 19-8.

The John Day Act is coming to a close, "We must move to keep this intent active", he said. The Port of Morrow and the County Court have written letters urging the relocation of the bombing range. TIMING SIGNIFICANT The Navy has told them in a letter they can move when Congress gives them the money to move. The Stanford Research Institute has been hired to study alternate sites. The contract has given them a deadline of March 1. The year of waiting follow ing PGE's intent of building a nuclear plant expires before that. The orderly procession of plans for the construction of the nuclear plant could very well be delayed. The Navy could hang on and on after the close of the project. He stressed again keeping the intent of congress alive. Judge Henry Kaye will speak at the Oct. 30 Chamber of Commerce meeting. There will be no Chamber Meeting on Oct. 23. Principal Jim Bier announced the proceeds from the Maupin game would go to the benefit of the score board.

Long Range Plans Okay; Serial Levy Vote Set Morrow County School District R-l board members voted unanimously Monday evening to accept the recom mendations of the Long Range Planning Committee. To finance the first three steps for remodeling and improvements, the board decided to present a 3-year serial levy to the vote of the people on Dec. 19. The levy of 1 69 per 1000 TCV would be required to raise the neces sary $150,000. for each of the three years. Superintendent Ron Daniels said that it would be less because according to Assessor Joyce Bergstrom, the value of all property on the tax rolls this year has in creased two million over last year on which figures the $1.69 rate was computed. The board voted to ask for new price quotes from 4 or 5 companies for school district property insurance for 1973. Each will bid on exactly the same program. A Portland firm has written a policy for all the districts in Oregon. It is believd theiv price for Morrow County could be secured for $4000. to $5000. less than the district is now paying. The new quotes should be available for discussion at the November board meeting. The present policy expires Jan 1, 1973. The school district auditor will attend the next board meeting also. There was one negative vote opposing the board's position on Ballot Measure No. 9. The board voted in opposition to the measure. John Matthews of Irrigon was appointed to fill out the term on the shool board until the next election. Mr. John Brandt resigned due to his working hours he was not able to attend board meeting. Clint Agee and Hal Whitaker appeared before the board to ask if Elks members who are teaching and going through the chairs might count the days at the State Convention as emergency leave. The board made no changes in board policy and said they didn't feel that such an absence could be considered "emergency". The lone High School re quested as a field trip, a Business Education visit to First National Bank in Port land. The bus trip would be for one day the cost of $79.50. The instructor, Miss Donna Waibel worked there last summer. The board gave tentative approval with details to be presented in the November meeting for final approval.

Sumner specifically advised the Secretary of State that the public service booklet pub lished by the department store chain advertised his opponent as the incumbent and adver tised himself, Sumner, as a member of the "interim committee on natural resources."
