How Not to Help Rural Areas
The U S Dept. of Agriculture just sent us a news release titled
"Development Means More Jobs For Rural Youth .
The article says "Rural development simply means nuking
rural America a better place to live and work." says William
Erwin, Deputy Under Secretary of Agriculture tor Rural
Development. He adds, a lot of people in rural areas are tired of
watching their young people move away to cities to find work.
Now, this is very fine but it doesn't really help rural areas to point
problems we already know about. What we need is answers and
more to the point, JOBS. Eastern Oregon showed in the census this
loss of youngpple. Of course, recently, the Kinzua Corp. veneer
St has meanTnew jobs here. The projected nuclear plant will
bring more opportunities as will the Port of Morrow Food
anegatfveway. the Government is cutting off lots of projects
that have been a help in rural areas. In fact, most of the money
spent on rural projects has been in planning rather than in doing.
Exceptions to this has been Conservation programs which
benefited lots of people besides the farmers involved Other ag
programs are being badly squeezed, if not cut off entirely.
Is this the way to help Rural America?
Governor McCall to 4-H Members
I wish to recognize the 100 4-H members and 200 4-H leaders
attending conferences in Salem. They represent the 43,000 4-H
members and 7,000 4-H leaders in Oregon.
By pledging their head, heart, hands and health to their club,
community, and country, these 4-H'ers demonstrate concern for
their fellow man. .
Through their project work and club activities, they develop into
responsible citizens, improve our environment, and build nutrition
and health. They also engage in community development,
strengthen family life, promote education, chart careers, and help
spread the 4-H learn-by-doing idea around the world.
The continuing expansion of their activities and services and the
involvement of more and more young people of all economic, social
and racial backgrounds and from urban as well as rural areas, are
tremendously heartening to me personally and rewarding for the
society they serve.
I congratulate all involved in the 4-H and Youth programs and
declare January 29, 1973 as "4-H Day" in Oregon.
Tom McCall,
Governor of Oregon
SEN. HATFIELD ON PRESS FREEDOM
Sen Mark Hatfield said Tuesday that enacting legislation to
insure freedom of the press "must be a top priority item when
Congress reconvenes next month."
"For nearly 200 years, a free press has served this country as a
balance to government," Hatfield said.
"Its unbridled voice is as vital today as it was in 1776, he said.
Hatfield said that basic First Amendment freedoms are
threatened by recent court action eroding the ability of newsmen to
present information to the American public.
"Congress must act to see that undue judicial interference is
removed from the news gathering and dissemination process," he
sd id
He said he is drafting a proposal to insure freedom of the press by
providing legislated protection to newsmen to protect their news
sources.
One day Noah was looking for his ark and couldn't find it so he

REMEMBER THIS? . .
. . ...
Oregon is crowned with undying honors, foremost of all the states
of the Union in patriotism, in the official report on the first draft
made by Provost Marshal-General Crowder to President Wilson.
Repeatedly, insistently, in table chart and summary of the report,
the name of Oregon "leads all the rest." Hun warfare in all its
ghastly detail will be described by three Canadian officers who are
coming to Heppner next Tuesday evening, and will speak at the
Fair pavilion "The Morrow County Red Cross Chapter has never
LlKown in any undertaking ye.," said Mr. Hermj
director of surgical supplies, "but we are apt to in the next
twenty-five days unless every one of our workers gets into the
harness with aim not yet displayed." The foregoing statement
was made by Mrs. llerren while speaking of an order which the
Morrow County Chapter has received from the Seattle
headquarters for a thousand or more surgical bandages.
"RcaSIS'he voted at the election in which Morrow County
was divided from Umatilla County. Milton R. Morgan, pioneer
settler of the lower Eight Mile section south of lone, when in town
Monday, told of raising the first wheat in that district lie arrived in
the county in 1882, having come west from Kansas in 1880 and
spending two years in the Weston district. Tom Caldwell, roll call
chairman at Irrigon, reports the collection of $9 there to put
CoSStJ over the top in raising its annual Red Cross quota
for 1935 Total collections for the county now exceed the $250 quota
bv $5 50 reports Josephine Mahoney, county chapter chairman. A
new water district has been established in Morrow County to
include the Rock Creek and Willow Creek waterheads as a result of
petition of the county court to the state engineer and Harry
Tamblyn, county engineer has been named watermaster. The new
district is No. 9. Itwas taken from the Umatilla-Morrow county
district all of which was formerly under J.M.Spencer. The cour
expects the new arrangements will greatly facilitate control of
water right problems. Noel Dobyns shot a coyote off the roof of a
Theepshed on the Herb Olden farm yesterday. Easten Stevens was
with him. The Covote ran onto the roof of the shed when first shot
at, and the good marksmanship of Mr. Dobyns felled it from there.
1 YEAR AGO. 1972
The Pioneer Memorial Hospital is experiencing a shortage of
ambulance drivers. After years of taking ambulance calls at night,
Bob Lowe is taking days only which leaves Paul He.nnchs for
nights and weekends. The main need is for weekends and nights on
a relief basis. Allen R. Nistad. Kinzua Corp., was elected vice
chairman of the District 10 Board of Governors o the Western
Wood Products Assn. last week in Sunriver. "Think the positive
was the highlight of the film "There's a Bit of Genius m All of Us
shown by Dale Anderson, district manager for Pacific Northwest
Bell at the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce
Monday The city crews at lone have just completed installing 43
new stop signs. Three of them are replacements and 40 are new.
Citizens say "It is taking a little time to get used to them. People
will be given a little time to become acquainted with them before
enforcing begins. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Currin have broken what
seemed to be a tradition of boys and added a girl to the family.

Dear Charles & Dorothy:
Your card reminding us that
our subscription would soon
expire, was received right at
the Christmas season and was a
reminder that another years
subscription would be a good
gift to ourselves. A welcome
gift, arriving 52 times a year,
carrying tidings, both good and
bad, from the "old home town."
During the holiday season it
takes about eight days for Uncle
Sam to deliver it, but it is
always welcome, regardless of
when it may arrive.
Your crowning accomplish
ment during 1972, of course, was
the Centennial edition. You are
to Le sincerely congratulated
for the vast efforts made in
getting out this edition. We
distributed 15 copies of this
edition amongst relatives and
friends. Our next door neighbor
was so fascinated with the
stories and pictures of an old
time western community, that
he sent one to a friend in New
York, who also was delighted
with it.
Although I will always be an
avid booster for all of Morrow
County, I am also most in
trigued with the growth of the
area we now make our perm
anent residence. Having lived
here for over eleven years now,
we have watched with
astonishment, the growth of
population and wealth that has
been added to the community. I
am, therfore, enclosing a story
from the Arizona Republic, with
a plat and descriptions of
developments, within the
Phoenix metropolitan area and
several at our front door.
We have watched with interest
these developments and know
that they are real. Hope they
will be interesting to you also.
With every good wish for a
prosperous and progressive
New Year,
We remain. Sincerely,
Garnet & Peggy Barratt
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Heard,
I would like to thank you for
the dinner at Beechers' and the
gold chain necklace. I enjoyed
the dinner. The necklace was a
perfect gift. I can wear it with
almost anything. I hope you
continue your support in the 4-H
Favorite Foods contests and
other 4-H projects. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kathleen McElligott

Big game hunters are advised
that the Oregon Game Com.mi
sion may make a change in
legal rifles for deer hunting
when it meets in May to
establish big game hunting
regulations for 1973. At its
January meeting the Commi
sion voiced intent to legalize
certain 22 center fire rifles for
deer, bear, and other of the
smaller big game animals.The
rule change would include only
those center fire rifles which
generate a minimum of 900 foot
pounds of energy at 100 yards.
At least five calibers fall into
this classification. These in
clude the 220 Swift, 22 Reming
ton Magnum, 22-250 Remington,
223 Remignton and the 225 Win
chester. Not legal would be such
varminters as the 218 Bee, 219
Zipper, 22 Hornet, and others
which lack the necesary 900 foot
pounds of energy. Rim Fire
rifles would also remain un
lawful for big game hunting.
The correct date for students
representing different schools
in the United Nations Pilgrim
age tour should be at the
Oddfellows Hall, Pendleton, the
second Sunday in March which
is March 11.
A "Bug" going around early
this week had five Mustang
hoopsters in bed. It remains to
be seen how long this little
epidemic will last. Could have
tough consequences this week
end unless the opposing teams
are also similarly affected.
"Wide awake" is the order of
the day when driving highways
and roads these days. Freezing ,
and thawing have damaged
roads worse than anything
except floods. Holes and bad
spots appear where you least
expect them. Sometimes they
break up before anyone has
time to put up a sign. Be
careful. The hospital is already
crowded.
Blue Mtn. Community College
has adopted a senior citizen
enrollment program allowing
persons over 65 to register in tne
college with no tuition charge.
This could be a real adventure
for some of the folks who would
like to get that degree.
Times surely do change, as
shown in some comparisons by
the MCGG News Lines. Their
market news stated last week
the grain market ended on a
firm basis, white wheat closing
at $2.84 a bushel, hard red
winter at $2.82 and barley at $78.
A year ago white wheat was
$1.60, hard red winter wheat
$1.61 and barley $49.50 a ton.
A farmer met an economist
on a train. To pass the time, the
economist suggested a game:
"I'll ask you a question, and if
you can't answer, you give me a
dollar. Then you ask me
one. ...and vice versa."
"Naw," replied the farmer,
"twouldn't be fair. You're
educated and I'm just a
farmer."
But the economist needled the
farmer, made him mad.
"Okay," said the farmer, "I'll
play on one condition-since
you're better educated, I'll pay
you only 50 cents and you pay a
dollar." The economist agree
ing, the farmer posed his first
question: "What has feathers
and flies, lands on the ground
and runs on 8 feet?"
"I don't know," said the
economist, "here's your dollar,
"now, what is it?"
"I don't know either," replied
the farmer, "here's your 50
cents."
Good News
Club Meets
The Good News Club meets
each Monday at 2:30 p.m. at 545
Pioneer Drive, here in Heppner.
The Good News Club is a
group of boys and girls meeting
one hour a week to hear Bible
stories, sing songs, and memor
ize Scripture.
These clubs are affiliated
with CHILD EVANGELISM
FELLOWSHIP, an organization
which is interdenominational

outreach extends into all 50
states, Canada, and 60 foreign
countries. Parents are welcome
to visit the club at any time.
Sen. Ken Jernstedt
Weekly Report
The Oregon Legislature
moved into its second week
going a little slower than
scheduled. Itwas the hope of the
leadership of both houses that
the Legislature would be run
ning at full throttle this week;
however, some committees met
for the first time to hold their
organizational meetings.
One change for me, is that in
addition to my other regular
committees, I have been
appointed by the President to
the Committee on Elections.
Bills are still pouring into the
legislature hopper at a rate of
about 25 per day. Most of the
bills recieved thus far are state
oriented rather than locally
oriented.
Governor McCall outlined his
traffic safety package in a
special message to the Legis
lature, and said he wants to
crack down harder on drinking
drivers. Included in the pack
age of 20 safety laws are ones
requiring mandatory use of seat
belts and compulsory in
surance. There are now three separate
legislative resolutions before
committees to ratify a proposed
U.S.Constitutional Amendment
granting equal rights to women.
It takes ratification by 38 states
to make the amendment part of
the U.S. Constitution; so far, 22
states have done so.
A measure known as the
"shield law" was introduced
into the Senate this week. Under
the terms of the measure, a
newspaper, radio, or television
reporter would be protected
from the charge of contempt of
court if he refused to disclose
the source of confidential
information.
Recently, newsmen in various
states have been jaiiea tor
refusing to reveal their sources
of information.
An increase in penalty
charges will be faced by
farmers around the state if they
change the use of their pre
sently zoned land for exclusive
farm use, according to a land
use bill introduced in the
Senate. The purpose of the bill is
to take the farm use assessment
away from those who wish to
speculate on the land by using it
for subdivision or business
development. Our area will
have to watch this one!
Among other legislative
action, Secretary of State Clay
Meyers appeared before the
Senate Elections Committee to
propose more than a dozen
election law changes.
Among other changes pre
sented was one to change the
time of opening the polls from
8:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. to allow
easier access to the polls. At the
present time, I can't see the
advantage of this!

House Joint Resolution 2 1b
the ratification of a resolution
proposing the 26th amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States which was passed by
Congress In January 1972.
It reads:
ARTICLE
1TICLE
Suy of rights
Section 1
under the
lau shall not De

Section 2. The Congress shall
have the power to enforce, by
appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment
shall take effect two years
after the ratification;
It requires ratification by 33
state legislatures, not by a vote
of the people, within seven
years. 22 states have ratified, 5
have rejected the amendment.
Idaho was the third state in the
country to ratify and at the
present time their house Judic

about rescinding this action.
The committee on State and

Consideration Bhould be given
to: Is there In fact in-equlty
existing between sexes that
legislation would correct? Will
the legislation create more
problems than now exist? Do we
want to empower the United

matters?
The other bill relating to live
sex shows would prohibit show-
ing 01 so caneo buuii nvc hum".
shows, .ale and distribution of
mOV es. DnOlOHrapns, UUOKO aiiu
rfvnrdiniis dealing wun
salacious Bex In different forms.
The bill If passed would
prohibit any person from the
sale or showing of live shows or
photographs of humans showing
sado-masochistic abuse or
sexual conduct that explicitly
reveals genital areas.
I am co-sponsor of this bill
because of the pressure from
the people in our district to
attempt to draw the line
between the hard core pornog
raphy and the things that are
now accepted by current
community standards.
It will probably have trouble
in the court based on past
decisions.
I would appreciate hearing
from you on these issues
expressing your opinions and
also reasons for them.
