In this way we would have a watchdog agency whose primary function would be to inform the legislature and the people of Oregon of ways in which our tax dollars can be more prudently spent. One example of the service that a 'State General Account ing Office' could perform concerns Oregon's inefficient Workman's Compensation Program, particularly as it applies to our farmers." Recently many farm or ganizations together with a task force appointed by the Governor, privately funded a study to determine why the Oregon farmers pay $16.35 per $100. of wages and receive no greater benefits than the farmers in the state of Colorado who pay less than $7.00 per $100. in wages. He went on to explain that Workmen's Compensation Funds go into the State Accident Insurance Fund which is administered by the State Treasurer. A State General Accounting office would be in a position to respond to the legitimate inquiries of farmers on this issue. It also could provide the Treasurer and other state officials with up-to-date information that would assist in the wise management of our tax and trust fund dollars. SHANNY FARLEY reports that 72 Homecoming mums have been ordered. That's not quite as many as last year, but the girls still feel that it was a good sale. Irrigon's Lion Auxiliary Tour Blind Facilities By Frances Rose Wilson The Irrigon Lion's Auxiliary represented by Mrs. Duane Kerlin, Mrs. Ernest Jor gensen, Mrs. Lavern Chris tiansen and Joyce Pennock, visited and toured the School for the Blind in Salem, last week. Mrs. Kerlin, president of the Auxiliary told how impressed she was with the work being done to educate and train the blind. They were entertained by a rhythm band and shown how a Braille type machine works. She said that although the rooms look very drab and plain to a sighted person they have significance to a blind person since the walls are of different texture. One wall may have a net feel another wood grained, and yet another smooth painted with enamel. The State provides the necessities for the 40 or so blind children now attending the school. This is the main project for Lion's Auxiliary groups over the State. They hope to give them some of the nicer things of life, to encour age them along. Various fund raising projects are carried on throughout the year for this worthy cause. Halloween Party The Missionettes, Jr. Mis sionettes and Prims, from Assembly of God Churches in Stanfield, Pendleton, Herm iston and Irrigon, met at the Irrigon Church for a Rally, Saturday evening. A Hollo ween party followed in the parsonage basement, where the local girls gave a Blue Beard skit. There were some 60 girls present, including several visitors from Kennewick. The Missionette program is for girls starting with the Prims in the Primary age group. Dennis Lamb was at home for the long weekend, from Oregon State.
