Oregon has First
Vet. Medicine School
Mixed Prospecis in
Store for 75 Season
Oregon has its first school of
veterinary medicine.
The long-time Dept. of
Veterinary Medicine at Ore
gon State University was
elevated to school status
effective Oct. 1, by the State
Board of High Education,
whose members pointed to the
long-time benefits that will
follow for animal industries
and owners, students and the
state.
Earlier, the Oregon Legis
lature had approved the
establishment of an expanded
veterinary program at OSU. It
authorized the university to
work with Washington State
University and the University
of Idaho on a northwest
regional program of veterin
ary medical education.
The legislature also appro
priated $400,000 for planning a
clinical teaching building on
the OSU campus with $200,000
to come from the state's
general fund and the rest from
a bond issue of the State Board
of Higher Education.
"The Sept. 23 action by the
State Board of Higher Educa
tion fulfills the last require
ment for OSU to apply to the
Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare for funds
for the clinical building," E E.
Wedman, head of the univer
sity veterinary medicine de
partment explained. "We in
tend to resubmit our applica
tion in March."
If HEW approves, it could
provide up to 80 per cent of
construction costs, a big step
in assuring that the building
will be ready in 1980 when the
first students under the re
gional program arrive on the
OSU campus to take their final
two years of training.
Under the regional program
proposal. WSU will have 50
new students accepted each
year; OSU, 30; UI, 15. and
other states that are members
of the Western Interstate
Commission for Higher Edu
cation will have 25 a total of
120.

Deer season is just around
the corner, to be followed
quickly by the upland bird,
waterfowl, and elk seasons.
Hunters all over the state are
checking gear, consulting
maps, getting in some target
shooting sessions, and gen
erally wondering what the
season holds in store.
Reports from field biologists
with the Department of Fish
and Wildlife indicate an over
all season about like last year
with a few improvements in
some species and declines in
others.
One of the not so bright spots
on the horizon is the mule deer
season in eastern Oregon.
Mule deer populations still
remain low in comparison
with pre-1968 numbers and a
short 7-day season and more
restrictive antler regulations
will be in effect. Nowhere in
eastern Oregon will a buck
with less than a forked antler
on one side be legal during the
general season and in the
Whitehorse, Beatys Butte, and
Steens Mountain units a deer
must be a 4-point or better, not
counting the brow tine.
The best deer hunting pros
pects are again in western
Oregon where blacktail deer
populations are in generally
good shape and hunters will
have a longer season. Al
though there is always fair
success on opening weekend,
the best hunting will come
later in the season when there
have been a few rains and
frosts to clean the leaves from
the heavy brush.
Elk populations throughout
the state remain at stable
levels and have increased in
some areas. In a number of
areas, especially in eastern
Oregon, there will be a few
more mature bulls in the
herds due to carryover from
last year's hunting season. A
regulation which went into
effect last year prohibiting
other hunting with a rifle in

elk hunting areas while the
general elk seasons are open
will be in force again this fall.
A number of areas will again
have vehicle restrictions dur
ing the deer and-or elk seasons
and hunters are urged to
check the 1975 game mammal
regulations booklet for details
on all regulations.
Bear populations are stable
or increasing in most areas,
yet bear remains one of the
most difficult animals to hunt
without the use of trained
dogs. Some are taken inciden
tally each year by deer and elk
hunters. AH hunters are re
minded that a bear tag is
required.
Pheasant populations are at
about the same levels as last
year; chuckars are showing
slight increases except in
Wallowa and Baker counties
where numbers have drop
ped; and mountain quail,
especially in western Oregon,
seem to be the most abundant
they have been in years.
Game farm pheasants will be
released again this year on
public shooting areas throu
ghout the state.
One of the most hopeful
notes on the hunting scene this
fall is for a good waterfowl
season. Duck production on
the Canadian prairies has
been very good for the second
year in a row and even species
that had been declining, such
as the redhead an canvas
back, are showing a comeback
this year. Snow geese had
another poor nesting year as
their arctic nesting grounds
were still covered with snow
at egg-laying time, but pro
duction of Canada geese was
closer to normal.
Hunters are urged to ob
serve an early season fire
restrictions that might be in
effect and respect private
property. Gel permission be
fore vol hunt.
Wranglers to
meet
Morrow County Wranglers
held their fall meeting at the
fairgrounds. Sept. 24. 6:30
p.m. A potluck dinner was
hasted by Donna Peterson,
Mcltva Miller and the Richard
Kinzers.
The meeting was presided
over by lresident Jerry
Dougherty. Under old busi
ness the success of the
Morrow County Horse show
and the Cowboy Breakfast
was noted and thanks given to
all members who assisted.
New business included the
selection of a nominating
committee and a representa
tive freom the Wranglers to be
one of the judges for the
Princess try-outs. (VI. 12.
Participation in the table fair
for organizations at the Wil
lows Grange, Oct. 12 was also
discussed.
None of the names drawn
for the jackpot were present.
Pictures taken by Mel Boyer
of the recent horse show were
displayed. Anyone wanting
copies of the pictures should
place orders with Mr. Boyer
as soon as possible.
The next general meeting
will be a Christmas partv.

VA Has Mail Problems
Roland Farrens. 55, a certi
fied accountant, died of a
heart attack, Sept. 6. He lived
at 15314 S E. Rupert Dr.
Milwaukie.
Mr, Farrens was born in
Heppner, Aug. 23, 1920. He
was the son of Ella Sperry and
Waller H. Farrens. Hardman.
Farrens moved to Portland in
1949 before settling in Milwau
kie. A World War II veteran, Mr.
Farrens was a member of the
Oregon Society of Certified
Public Accountants.
Survivors include his wife,
Frances. Milwaukie; a son,
Roland Jr., North Plains; two
daughters. Kalhy Thomas.
Salem and Susan, Milwaukie;
a brother, Veri, Richland,
WA; two sisters, Dolly Prat
ers. Grass Valley and Lucille
Parrish. Seattle. WA. and one

Funeral services were held
Sept. 9. at the Milwaukie
Funeral Home. Vault inter
ment w as at Lincoln Memorial
Park.
The Veterans Administra
tion is one of the U.S. Postal
Service's best customers, ac
cording to Mrs. Donna M.
Arndt, director of the Portland
VA Regional Office. Mrs.
Arndt emphasized the impor
lance for beneficiaries of VA
benefits to keep the agency
informed of their correct
address.
"Each month the VA mails
out 73 million checks to
veterans and their dependents
for compensation, pension and
education benefits." the dir
ector explained. "Another 4 7
million veterans who hold GI
life Insurance policies receive
12 million pieces of VA
correspondence periodically
throughout the year."
For many of the pensioners
and GI Bill students, the
monthly VA atipend repre
sents a major source of
income. While VA records
indicate the vast majority of
beneficiaries receive checks
routinely, this near perfect
record requires the continuing
help of the veteran and
dependent.
The largest number of non
deliverable checks Is among
GI bill students, principally
because of their mobility.
Weekly changes of residence
during periods of a achool
term are not unusual.
Veterans are urged to con
tact their nearest VA office
and the local Postmaster
promptly with changes of
address. VA "vet reps" on
campus can assist In expedit
ing address changes for GI
Bill students.
