Page 4, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Party -y. v mo Since 1972 there has been no control on the coyote, and the population has increased. When the farmer, rancher or Fish and Game Department had their own methods of controlling the coyote, the coyote population wasn't the severe problem it is now. When I was growing up on the ranch, if we saw a coyote on the ridge, it was coyote hunting time. I dont believe we ever maintained a 50 per cent kill average, but the control was effective. Now I read of 19 deaths of 38 monitored fawns during the winter of 1971-74 by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Depart ment; 75 per cent was caused by coyotes. The coyote popu lation is outstripping that of the mule deer. Now you have to apply to the Environmental Protection Agency to kill the coyote. Nuf said. The surgery patients at the hospital last Friday will have a story to tell for a while. It seems they were scheduled for early morning surgery, the anesthesiologist was delayed and the surgery was resched uled. Meanwhile there was an accident on Highway 80N near Boardman and an anesthesio logist was needed at the scene of the accident. It was late Friday evening before sur gery was completed on the all-day "no liquids or food diet" patients. One patient commented later, it really wasn't too bad, rather re minded me of the TV program "You Are There." I cover the court house news and hear so much that I would really like to share with you, about the people who spend most of the time working in the court house. It's not news, just plain gossip. Pat Wright, our county health nurse, seems to have a black thumb. House plants don't stand a chance around her. Last week a fellow employee walked into Pat's office to examine her sweet potato plant. I mention ed to Pat that anyone could grow a sweet potato plant, she grinned and said. "Mine has mold on it." Well Pat don't worry about it, your patients thrive under your tender, loving care. During the county court meeting last Wednesday, Jud ge Paul Jones mentioned if the telephone bills were not cut down, the telephone budget was going to be deleted by spring. Of course the 20 per cent increase that the tele phone company now charges, was not figured in the county budget. Then we can get into the conversation of teenagers and phones. From 4 p.m. til 9 p.m., my phone will give nothing but a busy signal. In fact it's gotten so bad, I hardly recog nut my son without a tele phone receiver growing out of his ear. The Sunday Oregonian (wo man's section) has an adver tisement for a film called "Happy New Year." I don't know if the film is one you should see or not. but the copy is verv clever and humorous.

I have heard many stories about drivers killing animals ( on the highways but this one takes the cake. Recently a young couple were driving home from lone when the driver fell asleep at the wheel. The pickup veered from the highway through the farmers fence and out into the pasture. The pickup finally stopped and there in the field lay a dead heifer. You guessed it the pickup hit the heifer, and in her own field. Hank Stotts recently return ed home after being a patient at Walla Walla General Hos pital for over three weeks.

RESTORATION OF SCHOOLHOISE Restoration of the Democrat Gulch Schoolhouse is ahead of the completion date of June 1. according to Mike Sweeney, chairman of the Morrow County Bicentennial Commit tee. Work has not progressed as rapidly as some people wish, however, the inclement wea ther has been an important factor, continued vandalism also makes incompleted pro jects more expensive than originally planned.
