Custom slaughterers
must certify weight
Consumers now may de
mand a weight certificate
from custom slaughterers and
processors.
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. All too frequently the

result was she believed the
weight less than w hat it should
have been."
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.
Unique throughout the Uni
ted States is the Oregon State
System of Higher Education
"visitation team" which
meets with high school stu
dents from every high school
in the state. The team
impresses upon secondary
students the need for some
type of education or training
beyond high school.
The visitation supplements
the guidance program of
Heppner High School. Stu
dents will be given first hand
information about course of
ferings, admission require
ments, housing, costs to at
tend, financial aids and scho
larships and other information
pertinent to planning for the
college experience.
Parents are invited to at
tend the visitation and are
urged to discuss post high
school plans with their sons
and daughters before and
after the conference.

Second Arte factory
scheduled Dec. 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.

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

our travels some. A tank of

The Bill Weatherfords are
learning about the high price

that travel costs are really up
now.
"We cut our stay In Rome
the Italians wern't too friendly

The letter from Norway
says that Sweden and Norway
are having an early winter
and that they drove through
three snowstorms on Oct. 8.

from here found themselves at

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.".
