Several things are sched

Center in the coming days. On
Oct. 30 the Advisory Council
will meet there at 8 p.m. and
the TOPS Club will meet at
7:30 p.m. on Oct. 31.
GED courses are being
offered each Wednesday
morning from 9-11 a.m. and
Thursday evening from 7-9
p.m.
The senior citizen's social is
every Thursday afternoon at 2
p.m. The Episcopal E.C.W.
will be preparing refresh

month of November. There is
also a senior citizens' dinner
each Wednesday at 5 p.m. at
the Heppner Grade School. A
couple more volunteers are
needed to help prepare meals.
Everyone is encouraged to
begin collecting unused dolls

of state government should be
appointed for a sufficient term
to remove him from any
partisan political pressure. 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.

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

sionettes and Prims, from

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
