To the P.O.
On Jan. 1, 1938 Jim began
work as a clerk in the Post
Office which was then in the
Fair Bldg. where the Richfield
Station now stands. When he
started he had no idea of
making the Post Office his
career but planned to save his
money and go on to school.
On Nov. 30, 1940 the post office
moved into its present quarters.
The building was brand new,
the equipment new, the boxes
were new. Forty years is
considered the life of a PO box.
Except for two years in the
Navy 1944 to 1946, Jim has been
with the post office and always
in government service. He
served aboard a destroyer in
the Pacific.
After the war he returned to

months later was appointed
postmaster on July 1946 due to
the resignation of Joe Aiken.

during Spring vacation. They
visited Mr. Wahl's mother, Mrs.

Pendleton.
Retirement Fun
Retirement will mean more
time to do the things they like to
do together, like square danc
ing, playing bridge, golfing,
camping and fishing. They
jaunted for some time in their 14
foot camper and recently
bought a 20 foot trailer in which
they plan to travel farther and
fancier. Thev both enjoy pho
tography and like to take slides
as they travel.
Community Minded
Jim has held numerous com
munity responsibilities. He has
served as chairman of the
Morrow County Red Cross
chapter and also county chair
man of the March of Dimes.
The priest of All Saints helped
organized the Boy Scouts in
Heppner and Jim served as the
first Cub Scout master and has
served on the Boy Scout Board
of Review. He has served as
commander of the American
Legion Post, All Saints vestry
and the school budget com
mittee. During the time he was
county director for the Saving
bond program he was presented
with a certificate of commen
dation for an increase of 210
percent.
When commander of the VFW
post, the need of an ambulance
for Heppner became apparent.
The Post signed a note for $8000
and ordered the ambulance.
Three members worked hard
and long to secure pledges
totaling $6000. These three were
Bill McCabe, Dr. McMurdo who
originated the name "White
Angel" for the ambulance and
Jim Driscoll. Finally it was
time to deliver the ambulance
and the Elks contributed the
final $2000 to complete the
purchase.
People Are Interesting
Jim says he finds people
interesting and all kinds pass
through the P.O. door. Changes
in the post office since 1938 are
cimrii nnci nffirps have been
Lena and Hardman which was
run as a rural station for awhile
as Lexington is now. These are
now served by star routes.
Heppner is also responsible for
the Star route from Lexington to
Cecil. Receipts have increased
over the years. Postal receipts
for last year were in excess of
$62,000 which was the highest
year they have ever had.
Replacement
Now that the Post Office is a
Federal Corporation and not a
government department, the
office of Post Master will be
filled on a merit basis. It will
probably be filled by a merit
promotion from within the
service.
First Thing
The first thing they plan to do
is take a trip to the Lake Mead
area for a spring vacation. They
will be joined there by Jim's
sister and her husband, Mr. and
Mrs. Blaine Carney of Los
Angeles. j,

U.S. Forest Service educated
the members as to the concept
of the multiple-use program as
practiced by the Forest Service
with slides of Morrow County's
great back yard.
A shot of the delightful creek

the forests allows more mois
ture to reach the ground to
promote increased tree growth
and encourages forage for
cattle and wild life.
Roads, now surveyed and
built to go where there will be
the least chance for erosion,
crushed rock surfaces, culverts
and road side ditches, also
eliminate erosion.
Selective cutting is the har
vest of older and mature trees.
To protect the aesthetic beauty
along the roadsides, a strip is
