Jack Sumner, D-Heppner, has announced thnt the State Emergency Board recently approved funding of sewage treatment projects in 10 communities in his district. Total cost of the projects will be $3,676,700, most of which will come from federal funds. Projects and ' costs are: Arlington, sewage treatment plant,S217.7(0; Boardman, sewage treatment plant im provement, $150,000; Culver, sewage treatment plant and interceptor, $300,000; Detroit, sewage treatment plant, $400,000; Madras, sewage treatment plant and intercep tor, $1,152,000; Maupin, sew age treatment plant, $235,000; How to relieve the fertilizer shortage With limited supplies of certain fertilizers predicted lor next spring,' farmers can do something to minimize the impact of these shortages. Soil testing, says Harold Kerr, Oregon State University extension agent in Morrow County, is one of a farmer's most useful tools for efficient fertilizer use. It can help take the guesswork out of a fertilization program by pro viding an inventory of neces sary nutrients available or missing in a particular soil. . Dollar-wise, says Kerr, this means that savings can be made by applying only the necessary nutrients in the amounts indicated by the soil tests. This is especially im portant for users of dry form of fertilizers which is ap parently in short supply in this area. Of 6,000 grower samples tested at the Oregon State Soil Testing Lab in 1972, phos phorus and boron were needed in 2,000 cases and 1,000 showed College students home for the holidays from O.S.U.

Mrs Ralph (Cora) Minnicks is home after being a patient at the Good Shepherd Hos pital. Carl Knighten spent six weeks at the Veterans Hos pital in Walla Walla, but has recovered enough to be at home again. Little Stella Ellis, 8, is in the Umatilla Hospital with pneu monia. Mrs. Lola Breeding has recovered from a broken hip, well enough to be moved from the Good Shepherd Hospital to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Floyd Smith. 5 residential users. In many other areas of the system voluntary curtailment wai successful. For example, Co lumbia Basin at its Heppner office and warehouse was able to cut 46.5 per cenl ,or September. October and No vember and saved 40.000 kwhs compared to 1972. It had other savings on substation lighting. Presently the Northwest electric energy situation looks somewhat favorable. Neither BPA or Columbia Basin Is requesting any curtailment level, only do not waste electric power. The oil and gas crisis does not directly affect the Northwest power supply as we have a hydro base of 90 per cent with one major nuclear plant and one major coal plant, Columbia Basin reported. treatment plant, $235,000; Melolius, sewage treatment plant and interceptor, $345, 000; Mill City, sewage treat ment plant, $280,000; Rufus, sewage treatment plant and interceptor, $460,000; Wasco, sewage treatment plant, $137,000. The Emergency Board also approved a total of $917,000 in state pollution control bonding funds to help make it possible for these communities to meet requirements for federal grants. The 1973 legislature sub stantially increased the a mount of pollution control bonds which the state can sell to aid local communities in planning and building sewage treatment works, Sumner noted. The ceiling on pollution control bonds was raised from $100 million to $160 million. a need for potassium. For many other samples, tests showed adequate nutrient levels. This is a good time of the year to take soil samples to assess fertilizer require ments. Instructions on how to take soil samples, soil sample information sheets, soil sample bags and interpreta tion of soil sample results may be obtained from the county extension office in Heppner.

DC-Act-Ing Chairman U S. Rep. Al Ullman. D Ore., of the House. Ways and Means Committee uid last week he it concerned that the Senate may be deliberately confusing the na tion ' older citizens on the prospect of an increase In Social Security benefits. It's time to set the record straight." Ullman Mid: "A month ago the House passed a far-reaching and responsible II per cent increase in Social Security. That bill has been pending before the Senate ever since, and still has not been acted on." Instead. Ullman said, the Senate has attached its own Social Security increase pro posal to a relatively minor bill totally loaded down with unrelated amendments In volving welfare, unemploy ment benefits. Medicare and Medicaid, and even oil drilling equipment. Further Senate delay in approving the bill already passed by the House, accord ing to Ullman, will make it physically impossible for the V SS bi II Social Security Administra tion to meet the payment deadline et In the legisla tion. "It's a great disservice to our senior citizen in this period of strong inflation for the Senate to be playing politics with a much-needed increase in Social Security," Ullman charged. If the bill isn't passed immediately, he said, it's only going to create further troublesome delay for Social Security recipient. Ullman said he is personally ympathctic with ome of the Senate' amendment, par ticularly deadline item uch as social service regulation, but added: "We must take these other matter up under a more responsible format that a Christmas tree bill." "The crucial issue," Ullman emphasized, "is that the Social Security increase ap proved by the House go forward independently to the President assuring our older citizens of the earliest possible icrease in Denems.
