Oieeo.i. a Second CUs Matter Two Changes A public notice in this week s Gazette-Time concerns a public hearing on amendments to the new Zoning ordinance recently approved and recommended by the Morrow County Planning Commission The County Court's action will be the final official approval or disapproval. The amendment adds Solid Waste Disposal sites to the list of conditional uses that may be permitted in the Farm. Commercial and Industrial zones The conditional use addition is timely and necessary as one of the No 1 problems of the county and cities is the problem of disposing of solid wastes Finding a site is one of the difficulties If properly administered a land fill site for solid wastes can become a great improvement Spots can be filled in such a way as to make otherwise waste areas into productive areas The other amendment changes the wording Section 7.020. pg IT. line 4 to read. Planning Commission instead of County Court The section concerns application for a conditional use or for modification of an existing conditional use may be initiated by a property owner or his authorized agent, by filing an application with the county planning commission (formerly read county court i The application shall be accompanied by plans of the proposed use. drawn to scale, and the names and addresses of the owners of property within 500 feet. The application shall be accompanied by a fee as established by the county court. The Planning" commission is the logical group to do the leg work on the applications and then make its recommendation to the Countv Court. Paper Blizzard We expect some day to read a dispatch from Washington saying that traffic in the city has ground to a standstill because of an overflow of paper from government offices. According to a recent Washington Post article, the General Services Administration figures that 4.5 million cubic feet of federal records are generated and filed each year. That adds up to about 10 billion pieces of paper A National Archives team trying to cut down on federal paperwork estimates that there are probably over one million different forms in use by federal agencies Such figures, which seem to mount every year, are almost beyond belief. By simple arithmetic the figures show that the federal bureaucracy generates 50 pages of records annually for every man. woman and child in the country The paper blizzard does not merely keep federal employees occupied. Unfortunately, those one million forms have to be filled out mostly by people who are not federal employees-such as storekeepers? farmers and millions of others who have little time to spare for such activities. The number of man-hours, applied to such endeavors is incalculable, but some estimates of the total cost of the dialogue between citizens and all levels of government run as high as $50 billion a year It may well be that the only solution, one that we don't foresee, is an administrative order rationing consumption of paper and ink bv government departments -Wall Street Journal Soc. Security Numbers for Children The Senate Finance Committee has proposed that all children entering the first grade after January 1 1974- must be assigned Social Security numbers. The purpose of the proposal sounds plausible It is to prevent Social Security swindlers from applving under more than one name for welfare checks. An old-fashioned editor comments that " designating an individual , from childhood to death, by a single identification number has connotations alien to traditional American liberty Not onlv could a computer spew out a person's life history at the pushing of a button, but the trend away from personal identity would be accelerated." If we are to submit to such a philosophy of people watching, we may one dav see the government following a practice similar to the calf branding used by western cattlemen. For example, a law could require that each child's number be tattooed on it's right shoulder at birth - or left if the bureaucrats so desired. Such a law would probably end freedom, but it sure would solve all identity problems and virtually guarantee the government handouts would go to the right people. -The Jefferson County Journal, Adams.

The new home of Heppner Lodge No 69 A F i. A M . was officially dedicated by that lodge last Monday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies, at which time the cornerstone to the new building was laid T.J Mahoney, worshipful master of the lodge, and one of the main factors as a member of the building committee, in getting the work of the new structure started, on behalf of the lodge, welcomed visiting members and the general public to the dedicatory services John H Blake of lone left the first of the week for El Paso.

Mayor Jones and Fire Chief Merrill supervised a test of the new equipment shortly after its arrival and expressed satis faction. The tank of 100-gallon capacity is expect ed to be of much benefit in dousing small fires or helping to hold larger ones until connection is made with the mains. In the absence of the truck only one fire broke out. that in the county agent's office Friday, and it was quickly put under control by use of one of the old hand hose carts. Gene Ferguson had the unique experience of having a large bull elk killed almost under his nose while hunting over in the Ukiah section. When the marksman came up to claim his kill, it turned out to be none other than Larry French, ace Chicago Cub pitcher and one time chucker with the Portland Beavers before making the big time. Ferguson had quite a visit with French, pronounced him a real fellow. Heppner's garage man was the only successful member of a party of eight in bagging his elk, a fine two-pointer. Members of the Lions club were treated unawares to a feed of roast elk at their Monday luncheon, the meat being the compliment of Dr. A.D.McMurdo. While several suspicioned that everything was not just right, many did not know but what they were eating roast beef. 1 YEAR AGO 1971 Last Wednesday. Dan Viera. field representative for Oregon Emergency Services, delivered five mobile radio units for Morrow County and Heppner. Two of the units will be used by the county on snow plows.

When you are coming to Heppner at "night, these lights cut your view of the highway. You can not tell if something or someone is or. the road in front of you. Maybe most of the people in Morrow County are not aware of these lights. But after losing a loved one on that road, I am and feel I must try to make it safer for you and yours. Sincerely yours, Lucia Cutsforth LETTERS TO EDITOR We appreciate the paper. Thank you. Roy W.

IVar Editor, We have lost our Cub Scout group due to lack of adult interest What about the 4 H Ski Hub You hear o often there' nothing for the youth in this area to do. yet without more support we may lone what we have Sking is a good family recreation In this area under the Arhuckle plan ita not expensive At other ki areas you would pav from $7 00 to $10 00 plus tow fee At Ar huckle the tow is $2 00 a day or $60 oo (or a (amily season ticket To join the 4-H Club its $20 oo for 10 weeks and includes transportation, a Ski patch, qualified instructions and insurance You can pick up good used equipment that is not expensive Now is a good time to buy for Christmas presents Thanks to Phil Carlson.

If you will help please call 676-9900 or 676-9421. The warming hut needs some repairs We have used the building some 10 years now The roof leaks, and it needs paint inside and some rubber runner mats so people won't slip on the wet worn floor If you have any part cans of paint any color or other materials the 4-H club will do the labor for a work day. If we would put out the effort, there is no reason why the Arbuckle Ski area couldn't be improved to bring a great deal of business to Heppner. We had a few Hermiston and Pendleton people over last year. Let's make this a recreation we can build up as a community or County project. We would like to have the north end to the county join us. If there is any one that will be a leader let us know , we will be glad to help. We will plan an open house after the improvements are made. Everyone should see the people on the slope, besides good exercise we learn to work and play together. It's great! We will publish the open house date later, or come up any time after it snows. Get warm around the Pot Bellied Stove and have a hot cup of coffee. Thank you for any assist ance vou can give the 4-H Club.

Salt Lake City Oct 23, 1972 Dear Friends Dot & Charlie: ThiHight you would like to know that the thrill and excitment of my lifetime has been the opportunity to attend Resources for 73 - The 19.2 Annual Conference of the Humane Society of the United States held in Salt Lake Over 2O0 of the most interesting people have registered from different parts of the world No amount of words could express my delight, when Tony Carding. Director, World Federation for the protection of animals. Zurich. Switzerland, asked permis sion to join me at my table for breakfast one morning when I was alone. What a rare opportunity to exchange our views and ideas on our favorite subjects. To have the opportunity to listen to and meet personally Mrs Amy Freeman Lee. author, artist, lecturer. HSU'S Board of Directors from San Antonio. Texas, would put more gas in any humane worker's tank. To experience a panel discussion by five famous humane veterinarians one morning was most encourag ing For years now I've been corresponding with and exchanging information with Frederick L. Thomsen, Ph.D. president, Humane Informa tion Services, St. Petersburg. Florida, and to finally be able to hear him speak and meet him personally was a rare privilege I'd been looking forward to. Another speaker from my pen pal list was John C. MacFarlane, Executive Director, Council for Live stock protection, whose home residence is Braintree, Mass. He has been working on T V. programs for 21 years with 4-H and other young peoples groups. A most enjoyable surprise was meeting one of my favorite friends of animals, Mrs. Mildred Schuchard of Medford, Ore. who I'd met about four years ago when I flew to a meeting in Los Angeles. I was most impressed with the speech made by The Hon. Calvin L. Rampton, Governor of Utah, at our annual awards banquet. Marguerite Henry, who wrote "Wildhorse Annie", Velma Johnson's life story, is as exciting to meet as her books. Last but not least a kiss of compassion and love from Wild Horse Annie is an honor I shall always cherish. Just wish you people could have been here to gather the news on this informative, educational group of dedi cated people. Perhaps you would have needed to add side boards to our Hometown Gazzette.
