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.

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

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. Without

spiritual values or human
creative intelligence crime and
violence will continue to grow.
This undue suffering placed
on helpless animals proves that
humans have never learned of
reverence for life, or the
aphorism of "Blessed are the
merciful; for they shall obtain
mercy."
Merry Christmas. and Blessing
to all,
Lois Winchester

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heard
left for Portland last Wednes
day afternoon. 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.

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.
