the county as recorded by
agents past! It is fascinating
to read the history of the area,
development of the "boys and
girls" club work, agricultural
experiments conducted,
events and people who have
shaped the history of the area.

years of the '30's...with such
reporters as Charlie Smith,
Joe Ballenger, C.C. Calkins...

recorded were also local
farmers we all knew or know,
and who now have passed
their land to another genera

You'll like its many options
and the many ways it lets you
control your own future.

A little relief for tired feet at
the Morrow County fair
grounds is taking shape in the
shop area of Heppner High
School, where vo-ag students
are constructing 16 benches
destined for placement around
the grounds.
The bench-making project is
being sponsored by the Hepp
ner Lions Club which will pay
for paint and other non-wood
materials used by the stu
dents. Kinzua Corp. is supply
ing the lumber used in the
eight large and eight small
benches. The benches will be
painted dark blue and will
bear the emblems of both FFA
and Lions Club.
Lions Frank Pearson and
Kent Goodyear are serving as
co-chairmen of the proiect.
Each student in the ag shop
classes is responsible for
building one bench as a class
project. Sophomores con
structing large benches in
clude Pat Lovgren, Tim
Dahlke, Ron Young, Jo Lynn
Daly, Geri Grieb, Chuck
Walsingham, Hank DeBraal
and Chris Riddle. Juniors
Terry Toll, Rick Rhea, Wade
West, Jackie Mollahan, Bryce
Powell and Julie Grieb are
each building a small bench.
Sixteen benches, constructed by HHS vo-ag shop students under the direction of Hal
Whitaker, will soon be placed around the fairgrounds as a Lion's Club project. Vo-ag
students Terry Toll (1) and Rick Rea put the finishing touches on the first coat of paint on
one of the small benches, while Frank Pearson, Lions' project co-chairman, and Whitaker
