But they knew the dangers of kings and dicta tors, so they saw to It that the President would have no hereditary rights and that his power would be circumscrib ed by law. For the framers of the Constitution feared above all the concentration of power In one man or one organ of government. How has their design stood up in our cen tury? Our spectacular growth has helped make the presi dency increasingly powerful and complex. On the night he was inaugurated In 1801, Thomas Jefferson had to wait like everybody else at his boarding house until there was a table for him in the dining, room. Quite a difference from what has lately been called "the Imperial presidency"! How can so remote and over worked an executive respond to the people's will? How can he even know what our will may be? Does the President really run the government? In 1789, Washington went on a tour to convince Americans that they really had a national government. Nobody needs convincing today, but few Americans now know their President personally.

By 1872 they lived where Anson Wright Park is now. The next year Albert and Julia Wright and their child ren began the Wright Ranch on upper Rhea Creek where some of the fifth and sixth generation still live. The first family head was a staunch churchman who left the Republican party in which he had achieved prominence to become a leader of the Prohibitionist Party. History says that as Albert Wright came west he built a strong friendship with the illustrious Methodist missionary, H K. Mines who was for many years the presiding elder of the Methodist Church in Oregon. When Albert settled here he was eager to start a church and was a leader in the founding of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Heppner. Albert and Julia (Fating) were parents of Mary E Julia, Silas A , George E., Anson E. and Effie J. Before the 1902 History of Umatilla and Morrow Counties was published "Mr. Wright sold his donation claim and dispos ed of his homestead and is now residing in the city of Hepp ner, having a fine residence and large grounds of 20 acres (where the D R. Tash and recently sold Bob Buschke houses are now). He also had property in Oregon City and University Park. Portland. He was one of the original stock holders of the Palace Hotel and of the Heppner Flour Mill. Before Morrow County was formed he would go to Pendle ton to act as a juryman and to attend court. He served as Pesticide training All persons serving as consultants in the use of restricted pesticides are re quired to be licensed by the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture by January 1. 1976. The licensing requirement was one of the revisions made in the state's pesticide law by the 1973 legfslature. To help 'persons prepare for meeting this requirement1 Oregon State University's Ex tension Service, in coopera tion with the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture, has arranged for a series of training meetings at which consultants can receive training and take the examination required for li censing Registration fee for the session is $5. The fee also covers the Northeastern Pes ticide Core Manual. If the manual has . already been purchased its cost, which is $2 50 will be deducted from the registration fee if those atten ding the session bring their manual or receipt for it. Some counties are having preregistration for the train ing program and tying in a lunch, cost of which will be added lo the 35 registration fee. Further information on the program can be secured from the County Extension Service offices in the counties where the training programs will be held. director of the city schools in Heppner for a number of years and was greatly inter ested in matters of the county and state.

Bisbee; Silas A. who farmed the home place; George E. who lived near Lone Rock; Anson E, a long time resident of Hay Canyon and Effie J., wife of Frank Gilliam and grandmother of Don Gilliam. The third generation includ ed Pearl (Mrs. Joe Devine), Alonzo.

This family was honored as Livestock Growers of the year in 1972. Jewel llager and her sister Geo Willard are daughters of Alonzo. Brother Mose, who tended the family's many sheep, was the father of Oral who now lives at Lexington with his wife Marge. Lynn (Mrs. Ron) Haguewood is their daughter. Orian 's widow Pearl (LaTracc) is presently moving from Heppner to a rest home in Hermiston near their sons Clayton and Bob and their children. Other third generation members are Anson's sons Ray, Walter and Clyde. Clyde died and his son Harold and grandson Kenneth are on the former Farnsworth place at Ruggs where Ken operates the store. The Ray Wright's daughter Beth and her hus band Barton Clark and their children and grandchildren operate the place that Ray and Eva farmed just above Ruggs before they retired to Hepp ner.

Pat Anderson, Arling ton and Janet Litchfield, Bend, and five grandchildren. Pal and her husband Don Anderson are now operating her parent's place. The entire week having been devoted to holiday planning, travel, entertaining guests, etc., our small village has been rendered practically de void of other activities. Any self-respecting Thanksgiving bird could compile more exciting and detailed material for this week's column than your humble correspondent, I am sure. And that account, too, could prove to be uninter estingly repetitious. Bear with me folks, and meanwhile you may be anticipating a variety of events in next week's issue. Birthday greetings are ex tended the past week to Johnnie Butler and Buell Gonzales Jr. Guests joining Buell in the evening included Judy and Wilbur Alford and son Jason, Danny and Nancy Gordanier, Kathy Brisbois with Marcie and Larry Jr., Jim and Ellen Bowler and daughters Jamie and Misty.

Robert and Anita Cody have moved here from Kinzua and will live in the Roger Asher mobile home rental. The Slan Bolins with their children Wesley and Roxanne, have returned from the coast where they spent their two weeks vacation visiting rela tives and elk hunting.
