because I am hearing much talk again for and against
the building of the Willow Creek Dam, I have tried to think
the matter over again. I hope that most of the talkers took
time to mark the ballot in last week's paper, indicating hnw
people feel.
Personally, I feel that man can be a slave to natural
water, or can, in time, master the problems of water control
and its better usage.
Look at a few facts : water is the most common substance
on earth, covering more than 70 per cent of its surface.
Without water, there can be no life plant, animal or human.
Many scientists believe that all life began in water, salty sea
water. The taste of our blood, sweat and tears suggests that
this might be true.
Throughout history, water has been man's slave or his
master. Great civilizations have risen where water supplies
were plentiful. They have fallen when these supplies failed.
Men have killed one another for a muddy water hole. They
have worshipped rain gods, and prayed regularly for
life-giving rain. When rains have failed to come.crops have
withered and starvation has spread across the land.
Today we all use more and more water in our homes;
food production requires more water; industry requires
more water, and the production of energy requires more
water.
Some persons here who have not experienced a flocd,
can't imagine what can happen when a deluge hits this
community. I hope the terracing that has taken place and the
constant channel clearance will make our next flood
lighter but I do believe that we will have more floods here.
One of my neighbors is concerned that building a
reservoir will change the water level throughout this area
and will cause latent or dormant springs on the hills around
town to gush forth damaging water (which, however, may be
naturally purified). I can't argue with her fear. Others fear
living near an earth-filled dam. True several such dams have
failed, but surely technology can correct future weaknesses.
So my own thinking is that I dread either a flood or a
drought more than I fear a dam failure. I think men can
become master of water. I marked my ballot. ..Yes, I would
like to see Willow Creek Dam constructed.

Hughes, Owen
to wed Saturday
Friends of Phyllis Karen Hughes and William Wayne
II Owen, both of Heppner, are invited to attend their wedding j
l ceremony, scheduled to take place Saturday, Feb. 18, at 7
H p.m. in the First Methodist Church, Heppner.
A wedding reception will follow the evening ceremony.

Book to me on Thursday, I was unaware that the many
citizens who work for our city, county and state would be
enjoying a three-day weekend over Feb. fr but there it v
was and Lincoln's birthday was moved ahead six days to be
celebrated on the first Monday of the month.
The calendar hanging above my typewriter desk only
indicates that Feb. 20 is a holiday, two days before
Washington's birthday. I really think we should also
commemorate the birth of Oregon, the Valentine State, and
close everything up tight on Feb. 14, too, while we are being
so holiday happy.
Last Friday afternoon did you notice that our outside
temperature reached 60 degrees? Wouldn't it be great to
have more warmth and less fog really settle in? Let's hope it
is nice over Monday the 20th when schools close and all of us
get an extra holiday.
A high school teacher friend reports how pleased she and
fellow teachers were to have a school board member come
visiting last week. One of the newer county board members,
Mrs. Don Bennett took the time and indicated a real interest
in school functioning by getting to numerous classrooms.
Praise be to Jean.
Another school matter has come to my attention.
Reunion time is approaching. Heppner High's class of 1968 is
preparing for its big tenth-year gathering on next July 22 at
the Heppner Elk's Lodge. Susan Starks Johnston, who gained
considerable experience assisting husband Rick with his
class reunion last year, is hard at work with her own class
now.
The class would appreciate help in locating the following
persons: Barbara Crisp, Sally Morgan, Gerald Pyles, Larry
Richmond, Amanda Smith Swick, Gail Silva and Rick
Gimble. So, if you have an address for any of these
persons... please send it to Susan Johnston, Box 381,
Lexington, Oregon, 97839.
This ambitious class has already invited 35 teachers to
come as guests. There is a car wash and bake sale being
planned for June to help finance the reunion.

Fund buys
"Recording Annie 99
lone High School health students (1-r) Brian Kietmann,
Gari Gaustad, Kim Pettyjohn and Tammy Tucker, gather
round "Recording Annie" during their last session of an eight
hour CPR class, taught by Linda Connor and Ann Chick.
"Annie" was the first major purchase of the CPR Fund, and
was used as an instructional aid by 35 lone students in Del
LaRue's and Barbara Stephanie's health classes learning to
do CPR rescue work.
"Recording Annie," as she
is affectionately known, will
now be making the rounds at
area CPR classes after the
teaching aid dummy was
recently purchased through
the Bernard Doherty Memo
rial CPR Fund.
Annie is used in the instruc
tion of cardio-pulminary re
suscitation techniques which
combine chest massage and
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation,
usually by two persons work
ing together on an unconscious
victim suffering from heart
failure and stoppage of
breath.
The first major purchase
from the CPR fund, Annie cost
$925. and sports such special
features as a meter that shows
rate of ventilation and com
pression, a beeper for one and
two man rescues, and a
recording tape which gives
students a record of their
compressions and ventila
tions. She also has eyes that
open to check for dialation.
Two dummies owned by
Tri-County Health are also
used in CPR training but
instructor Linda Connor said
Annie gives "much better
feedback."
lone High School students
from the health classes of Del
LaRue and Barbara Stefani
completed the standard eight
hour CPR class instructed by
Connor and Ann Chick, last
week, using Annie as the main
training aid. The students
received certificates entitling
them to do CPR rescue work,
with a refresher course re
quired in a year.
Fourteen courthouse em
ployes also qualified for CPR
certificates last month after
two four-hour training ses
sion. The CPR fund continues to
grow and has approximately
$600 left after the purcahse of
"Recording Annie". The fund
was started by Mr. Doherty's
wife, Jerry, and daughter-in-law,
Anne Doherty.

hunger problems

hunger at their February
