Or:o.. as Second Cla Matter s CHRIST IS BORN IN' A From THE LIVING BIBLE About this time Caesar Augustus, the Roman Em peror, decreed that a census should be taken through out the nation. (This census was taken when Qumn ius was governor of Syria.) Everyone was required to return to his ancestral home for this registration. And because Joseph was a member of the royal line, he had to go to Bethle hem in Judea, King David's ancient home journey ing there from the Galilean village of Nazareth. He took Mary, his fiancee, who was obviously pregnant by this time. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born; and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the village inn.

A few more hours and Morrow County, along with several other counties in the State of Oregon will be dry so far as the mamierof sale and the manufacture of intoxicating liquor is concerned. The saloon will be a thing of the past, but according to the dry law passed bv the last legislature a certain amount of liquor can be shipped in from outs.de states for private use. The manner in which liquor can be obtained, the legal process which is now necessary and how and what are termed violations are clearly set forth in the w'oMinor veteran shorthorn breeder of the Northwest, and who a few ve'ars ago. withdrew, so to speak, from the active stock raising business when he sold his Mountain Valley farm to J C Stapleton. is again in posession of this fine farm. t.t.Meea, who purchased the farm from Mr. Stapleton has gone to Canada. While at the Livestock Show and Shorthorn Sale in Portland recently Mr. Minor purchased a two-year-old bull from N.P.Clark, of Red cioud. Minn. The price paid for this animal was 8775. At this same sale. Golden Goods. Jr., sired by the famous Golden Goods, who made his home on the Mountain Valley Farm until his death a few years ago, sold for 81200. 37 YEARS AGO 1935 Heppner enjoved a silver Christmas, as did all of Morrow County, and the countrv'side is still covered with ice today. The silver thaw came on Christmas eve. making motivation hazardous in any manner and taking a toll in accidents while lending a Christmas tinge to nature. The school hot lunch fund was benefitted 854.40 by three one-act plavs presented last Thursday evening at the gym-auditorium by the" public speaking class and faculty of the high school. Appreciation of the generous public response is expressed by Edward F. Bloom, superintendent. F W.Turner sustained a painful injury to his back Saturday afternoon when he slipped from a board and fell on a piece of pipe while crossing the creek near the J.J.Nys home. The fall knocked the wind out of him and he remained lying in a helpless condition for some fifteen minutes before Rod Thomson, who works at the Union Oil plant near bv, came along and discovered him and helped him out of the predicament. A fractured rib was disclosed on examination, and Mr. Turner entered the hospital Tuesday evening for treatment, after attempting to "tough it out" for a couple of davs. 1 YEAR AGO 1971 While Santa Claus was in Heppner Tuesday evening, he received 90 phone calls that really kept him hopping from one phone to the other. There were 3 or 4 kids in on some of the calls. lone had three good things out of the Christmas tournament at Echo. Thev won their consolation game with Stanfield by one exciting point, 42 to 41; Dick Snider was an All-Star selection and the Cardinals won the Sportsmanship trophy. The hard wind Tuesday night blew down a big Locust tree on North Chase about midnight. It crashed across Kenneth Bebees pickup-camper.' The camper was destroyed but the pickup appeared to be undamaged. TV and phone wires were broken. Ed Dick was elected president of the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the board Wednesday noon. LeRoy Gardner was elected first vice president and Harley Sager, second vice president. Snowmobile trails have been laid out by the U.S. Forest Service. A handv map is available from the Ukiah Ranger District. It is reported that Western Route Road will probably be plowed this week as far as Gilman Ranch Road. Trails are laid out from the Arbuckle Ski area via Arbuckle Mountain and by Ellis Forest Station. Pioneer Ponderings BY W.S. CAVERHILL Whv NotCatlow? For those who are looking for a place to relocate the Navy's bombine range, now at Boardman, why not take a serious look at Catlow Vallev in Southern Harney County? The terrain appears to be perfect a 'vallev floor forty miles long and as flat as a pancake, and so wide it would take three coyotes yelping in tandem to voice across it. It is devoid of settlement except to cattle ranches near Roaring Springs. Other settlers gave up and are gone long ago. The location is worth consideration.

Dec. 15. 1972 Pear Dorothy 4 Charlie, Thank you very much for the papers. Your GazetteTimes reminds me of the Joseph Herald. I enjoyed reading all of it even finding my name mentioned in Dots Jots. And the article about the Ione-Alsea game to go in John's scrapbook and in Gary's our neighbor's son. We have had our first taste of real winter in the 6 years we, have lived here. Our school was closed twice - first time for 4 days the next week -1 day. No one is prepared for frozen water pipes, continued snow. Now, after the freezing rains of yesterday, the weather is warming up. I congratulate you on your good newspaper! I think it is excellent! Best Always, Linda Carper Heppner, Oregon December ,1972 Dear Charlie & Dot - THE SUPREME BETRAYAL: To Mrs. Gerald Swaggart a MILLION CHEERS OF THE HIGHEST COMMENDATION! for her kind act of picking up the dumped puppies on the Pilot Rock cut off to Meacham road This letter has a message to the insensitive clod who aban doned the three unwanted, pitiful puppies, in winter wea ther recently. You were "TOO KIND" to take your pets to the Humane Society to put them out of their misery, because you didn't want. them. You were "KIND" enough to give them a chance to survive among people (KIND ER THAN YOU, FORTUN ATELY) in the country. So you dropped the THREE. IN OFFENSIVE HELPLESS CREATURES OFF on a coun try highway. You should have been there to see what a chance you gave them for survival. Do you want to know? Or are vou so KIND, so TENDER-HEARTED THAT THE TRUTH MIGHT HURT "YOU? The truth: YOUR LITTLE ABANDONED PUPPIES ran panic-stricken up and down the road; dashing toward every car in frantic hope that Y'OU, nice KIND YOU were coming back -the human they loved. They were desperate from thirst," hunger and cold, getting weaker, but still rushing toward each passing car, risking their lives to find YOU - NICE KIND, TENDER-HEARTED YOU. They weren't old dogs, and not wise in the ways of cars, so they weren't cautious enough. Anyway, they had long ago thrown caution to the winds in a frenzy of anxiety to find YOU. So one of your pets was crushed to death by a speeding car. Too bad YOU weren't there. Morrow County not only harbors dog and cat ditchers, but we have dispicable idiot characters who take it up on themselves to perform mutila tion castration of their neigh bor's cats and dogs, on the spot. Just a short while ago a dastardly person went in to the yard of Ray Papineau and slit the throat of his splendid spayed female German Shepherd dog. Such disgraceful acts point out the weakness of modern man; and prove how very badly we do need humane education in our school systems.

After doing business in Portland Thursday morning they drove to Salem and then over to Lincoln City. Going down the coast the highway was clear most of the way. At Gold Beach They visited their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becker, Mike, Gard and Christopher. The Beckers had purchased a new home since the Heards visited them about a year ago. Enroute home they stayed overnight with Mrs. Heard's sister, Mrs. Walter Young at Lebanon and made stops Sun day with Mrs. Heard's brother, at Portland, the Elmer Lakes, at Salem and Mr. Heard's brother, the Sam Youngs, at Portland. Snow and ice on the gorge, snow from the Heppner Jet. with clear highway from Lex ington were Sunday driving conditions. T ' t i u u School Board Sees System 80 Demonstrated Mrs. Ruth Mudder, teaching in the Title 1 program at Irrigon and Anna Mane Evans, 2nd grader at A C.lloughton demonstrated how System 80 Is used in the reading program, for teaching phonics at the District school board meeting Monday night at Irrigon. It is a fascinating self-help machine that the child operates on his own, checks his score and from it knows which record to go to next. Whether he can advance or take a review record. It is both audio and visual. At the beginning, the teacher gives a prescription test to determine at which level the student should start. The scores on each record indicate in what areas the students need help in their mastery of letter sounds. Irrigon has two machines, one for use in the special reading classes and one in the regular classrooms. Teachers using it are enthusiastic about its accomplishments for the stu dents. The board voted to buy the Local Government Personnel Institute from the Oregon School Boards Ass'n. This will keep information coming to the district on budgets, salaries, and other school information from the other districts in the state as compiled by the OSBA. School Insurance LaVerne VanMarter Jr. and Howard Bryant of Turner. VanMarter and Bryant attend ed the meeting to review their school property insurance premiums. Johnson & Higgins has written insurance on the state level and not on a national level. While not too many districts have bought their package, it has been instru mental in bringing the com panies serving local agencies in line with their premiums. Mr. VanMarter frankly ad mitted their prices were 85000. less than last year due to the competition and that there is a lessening in school losses and schools have better protection and are now good risks. The board voted to accept Turner, VanMarter and Bryant's policy for 81000. de ductible on 85,000,000. coverage at 100 percent replacement at 813.950. The same coverage with Johnson & Higgins would have been 814,501. Comparing the 1972 premium based on 84,632,000. coverage at S5OO0. deductible the premium would have been 814.240. or about 85000. higher than the 1973 premium with the same cover age. Rerouting at lone The Transportation com mittee report was studied. Rerouting the busses in the lone area came under a great deal of discussion. Some longer routes may be safer, keep busses on surfaced roads, pick up some students 5 minutes later, keep some on the bus a longer period of time, may require a contract run on the Gooseberry bus run at considerable increase in cost to the district. The board indicated they would like to have the changes explained to the families that have been unhappy with the existing routing to see if they felt the proposed changes would eliminate some of their pro blems. Then they would con sider the call for bids on a contract run on Gooseberry. Staff Additions for 1973 - 74 The board voted to put the additional staff requests for 73 -74 in the budget document and let them be considered by the budget committee members and school board members at that time. Sup't Ron Daniels noted that there were no teachers to retire this year and that there is likely to be a small turnover. Sometimes a little savings in money is picked up when an experienced and more exlucated teacher who leaves the district is replaced with someone lower on the salary schedule.
