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.

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.

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.

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.
