Morrow County juvenile crime
rate decreases says director
There hat been a decrease
in referrals but the crimes are
more serious, Carolyn Davis,
Juvenile director for Morrow
County told the Heppner
Chamber of Commerce Mon
day. Ms. Davis explained the
county's stand on some Juve
nile issues and also told cham
ber members some of the
things the department can and
cannot do.
During 1975, the department
recorded 175 referrals, as
compared to 195 total refer
rals for the previous date. The
10 per cent decrease, however,
was marred by more serious
crimes.
Ms. Davis noted that the
Irrigon-Boardman area is the
county's major concern or as
Ms. Davis called it, the
"problem area,"
"I don't have all the
answers," she said, but she
tacked part of the problem to
the potato industry, people
moving in and out with work,
and Irrigon as a "low Income
area."
Right now, there is one
citizen advisory board for the
entire county. Distance to and
from meetings has caused the
county to be split however for
the next year.
There will be advisory
groups in the north and south

Ms. Davis noted a few
changes in Intake reports
from 1975 to now.
Boys and girls crimes are
"about equal now", she said.
Also, neglect cases, 19 last
year, have already been
matched by the first six
months of this year.
Traffic citation cases have
also almost reached last

By Frances Rose Wilson
The Rev. Edward Weyrick, a newly approved Assemblies
of God missionary to Kenya, East Africa, will be guest
speaker, Thursday, July 22, at 7 p.m., at the Assembly of God
in Irrigon, Pastor Robert Schmoll has announced.
For the first six months of their initial term of missionary
service, Mr. Weyrick and his wife Bonnie will be engaged in
the study of Swahili, a Bantu language used much in East
Africa and the Congo region. They will later be involved in
church planting and pioneer evangelism on Kenya's northern
frontier.
Kenya is a relatively new mission field for the Assemblies
of God and a permanent mission station has never been
established on the northern frontier. The Weyricks will be
working with another Assemblies of God missionary couple
and two national ministers to bring the gospel to this area.
Over 6,600 Kenyan believers attend 205 Assemblies of God
churches and outstations in that country.
Prior to their missionary approval, the Weyricks pastored
in Oregon for 11 years. Their last pastorate was at
Lighthouse Assembly of God in Harbor, OR. Mr. Weyrick
attended Bethany Bible College in Santa Cruz, CA, and has
done graduate studies at the Assemblies of God Graduate
School in Springfield, MO. The Weyricks have two children,
Christalene, age 9 and Eddie, age 6.
Mr. Weyrick will be sharing the challenge of their
anticipated ministry during the missionary service. Special
music and a puppet show by the Weyrick children will be
featured. The public is Invited to attend.

ing. Today, boys are on an
equal level, and Ms. Davis
said, they are starting at
8-and-9-years-oId.
Ms. Davis said citizen input
is beginning to help.
"Before, people didn't want
to get involved. But with new
laws, the names won't be
given out so people aren't so
reluctant. And that helps a
lot," she said.
The department last year
instigated a program in all
elementary schools, presented
by local police departments
and the Juvenile department
for kindergarten through sixth
grade.
Ms. Davis said the program
has "changed the attitudes
toward police."
This spring, the Oregon
State Police and the juvenile
department held seminars in
the north end of the county and
