The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 16, 1978 THREE Postmaster warns against g(g says chain letter scheme . V I f ! ' Mj Indications of a chain letter scheme being conducted in some parts of the state have prompted Heppner Postmaster Hubert Wilson to issue a warning against any use of the mails in the furtherance of such a scheme. The scheme in question involves person to person sale of the chain letter but requires that purchasers mail a postal money order or a U.S. Savings Bond to the person whose name heads the list in the chain letter. Such systems, involving the exchange of "things of value," have been ruled in violation of the Postal Lottery and Fraud Statutes. The statutes encompass anything concerning the conduct of a lottery, including postal money orders or U.S. Savings Bonds sent pursuant to an endless chain scheme even though the letters may be distributed from hand to hand. Violation of the statutes could result in a penalty of two years imprisonment or a $1,000 fine, or both, Wilson said. Justice court judge to fine litterers With spring cleanup time approaching, the problem arises as to what to do with all that house and yard refuse. Judge Dee Gribble of the Morrow County Justice Court has already had to deal with several cases of offensive littering in the Fuller Canyon area this year and is issuing a warning in hopes of avoiding further needless destruction of property by litter dumping. Any future offenders will be levied a fine as well as an order to clean up the mess. The offensive littering is classified as a Class B felony and is punishable by a $500 fine or a six months jail term or both. The Turner Landfill site is open from 1-5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday which makes the roadside dumping even more unexcuseable. Judge Gribble also issues a warning to all persons that hunting licenses are required for all squirrel or other small animal hunting. Firearms are not to be discharged from any public roadways. Cleanup week.... cont. from page 1 Saturday, Lions Club members will have the use of county truck and will generally concentrate on cleaning up the city streetways. Lions President Dave Harrison said they will give particular emphasis to the city's northwest entrance. Anyone interested in helping on the Saturday work detail should contact Harrison, Bob Lowe or Larry Mills. Students at both the grade school and high school will be cleaning up the areas around their buildings this week or when they return from spring vacation and the Forest Servtee has provided 100 litter sacks to be used by the students and other workers in the campaign. Oscar Peterson resigns.... cont. from page 1 becamse interested in Ione's public schools. "It's never been easy mak ing ends meet and the tax payer should get the absolute most for his money," said Peterson. Perhaps that's one reason why Morrow County taxpayers pay so little for the operation of the Port that provides so much. In addition to the public service previously mentioned, Peterson has been a director of the Jordan Elevator Com pany for 40 years; was instrumental in bringing rural electrification to Morrow County in the pre and post World War II era and served eight years on the Columbia Basin Electric board of directors. ill- vJumB 1 deadline March 31 Judy Buschke, County Executive Director, Morrow County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service (ASCS) office, reminds farm ers that March 31 is the final date to apply for a price support loan or purchase agreement on 1977-crop wheat, barley, and oats. Farmers may place the wheat, barley or oats into the grain reserve on March 1, without waiting for the loan or purchase agreement to ex pire. According to Mrs. Buschke, grain placed into the reserve is subject to the same storage requirements as grain in the regular price support loan program It can be stored either on the farm or in commercial warehouses. An nual storage payments will be made in advance to producers at the rate of 25 cents per bushel for wheat, corn, barley and grain sorghum, and 19 cents per bushel for oats. "If warehouse storage is used, the producer must furnish proof that storage has been provided for one year before the advance storage payments will be made," she said. Mrs. Buschke said farmers still have a little time left to put their grain under loan and become eligible to participate in the reserve program and she encourages all producers to participate and help raise grain prices. She pointed, put that 1977. . corn and grain sorghum will also be eligible for early entry into the reserve in the near, future. May 31, is the deadline for putting these crops under loan. Participation in the grain reserve is on a first-come, first-served basis until the national target of 330 million bushels of wheat and 670 million bushels of feed grains (corn equivalent) is reached. For additional information on the program, contact the local ASCS office. EXTRA CASH FROM UNWANTED ITEMS SELL WITH CLASSIFIEDS 676-9228 TaikJaiM,, folk, ToiklolM, TalkJoSJk.
