The Slate Department of Agriculture, in implementing new legislation regarding cus tom slaughter operations, has issued weight certificate blanks to all custom slaughter and processor operations in the state. The certificates are aimed at curtailing a frequent con sumer complaint of not re ceiving all their meat back or not getting their own beef back. The certificate requires that the custom slaughterer-processor record the accurate weight of the carcass snd the packaged weight after butch ering. The law also requires hat the operator shall provide the owner of the meat with tags establishing ownership of thf-carcass. Dr. Jane Wyatt, department consumer officer, said the requirement of prov iding cer tificates has a twofold effect. She said it not only protects the consumer but provides the operator with a protection against future claims that might be brought by con sumers. In the past the custom slaughter business has fre quently been attacked by disgruntled consumers be lieving they had been cheated. Dr. Wyatt believes the new law provides the industry with an opportunity to belay the sometimes shoddy reputation created by unscrupulous cus tom slaughter operators. "A concerted effort by the industry at this time will restore consumer confidence in custom slaughter opera tions. This can do nothing but help increase their business." Dr. Wyatt said. Heretofore, there has been no law requiring the custom slaughterer or processor to , state the weight of the animal or the finished, packaged pro duct. The consumer can now be assured of the actual weight involved in the trans action and deal with confi dence with the custom slaugh ter operations in the state. Dr. Wyatt said. "The only ay a consumer had of knowing how much meat she got back was to take it home and weigh it on the bathroom scales.

Sometimes it was, but more often the consumer simply did not realize how much waste there is in a carcass. The certificates provide a record of the carcass weight and the package weight, clearly showing the weight loss. Dr. Wyatt said. State colleges visit Seniors from Heppner high School will go to Hermiston High School for a meeting with representatives of the state colleges -and universities on Friday. Nov. 2.

J The new, active AAUW Branch announces plans for a second Artefactory on Satur day. Dec. 1. An Artefactory is a place where local artists display and ' sell their creations. Some of the artists will appear to demonstrate their skills. Be cause of the timing, this could be a great place to shop for unusual and special Christ mas gifts. Maybe the demon strations will inspire some to get going with their own creations. In connection with the crafts How to get game on the table One problem of modern hunters is getting his game on the table.' He may shout "Game on the table! " when he bowls over a rabbit or downs a goose, but "taint necessarily so." Modern-day kitchen opera tives rarely react with joy when suddenly presented with a brace of ducks or an undressed rabbit or squirrel. Even if these goodies were field-dressed, the ruler of the kitchen undoubtedly still would look askance if it isn't in a plastic covered cellulose plate and there isn't a red and blue sticker that announces: "Weight, 1.2; Price per lb., 2 69: Total price. $2.75." Anything that doesn't have that familiar appearance just couldn't be any good and the natural response is going to be. "What can I do with it?" There is a little pamphlet that will answer that question. It is entitled: "An Introduc tion to Wild Game Cooking." It is written with the help of Mrs. Joan Cone of Vienna, Va . who once had to face up to the "What can I do with it?" question herself. The little pamphlet gives simple, clear and concise directions that will allow even the beginning cook to cope with any form of game from doves to bear. The title is the key to this aid to the hunter and cook. It is an introduction to game cookery and it doesn't depart into the gourmet treat ment. That comes after the cook gets his or her hand in with these recipes. One brief page gives some valuable tips both to hunter and cook. The first paragraph points to one thing that has ruined the taste of more game than anything else. That is the failure of the hunter properly to prepare his game before he gets it home. The first paragraph says: "The true sportsman never exceeds his limit of game and never takes more than he can use. He cleans all game Marine Pvt. Jack D. Unrein, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack McTimpeny of Heppner, Ore., has graduated from basic training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego.

"We picked up our Volvo and art happy with the freedom we have to look about with the car; however, the price of gas is going to restrict our travels some. A tank of gas cost us $18." The Bill Weatherfords are learning about the high price of European travel through letters from Mrs. Weather ford's son and his wife, Bill and Bette Haberlach, who are coming home to Oregon from a two-year Navy assignment on Guam. Letters this week for A thens. Greece.' and Voss, Norway, repeated the feeling that travel costs are really up now. "We cut our stay In Rome the Italians wern't too friendly and their prices were sky high. We found Greece inter esting but plenty expensive." The letter from Norway says that Sweden and Norway are having an early winter and that they drove through three snowstorms on Oct. 8.

Bette adds, "The Norwe gians are so nice and friendly. As long as we don't speak, I'm sure that they don't realize we are foreign tourists. We have finally reached a place where we blend in with the local people. At times we do have a little trouble com municating with them, but they are always willing to do their best to help us. They do no take us as was the case in India, etc. Traveling is even more expensive than we expected, and to make it worse, they don't use credit cards. We had planned to use our American Express card and gasoline cards but having to use cash, we are going to run low sooner than we had anticipated.".
