Missionary to speak
at Sunday rally
The Rev. Richard G. Nichol
son, a newly approved As
semblies of God missionary to
Argentina, will be guest
speaker Sunday, March 26, at
7 p.m., at Christian Life
Center, Willow and Gale
Streets, Pastor Wayne Smith
announced this week.
During their first four-year
term of missionary service,
Nicholson and his wife Cyn
thia will engage in crusade
evangelism, literature distri
bution and church planting,
primarily in the greater
Buenos Aires area. More than
one-third of Argentina's 25
million people live i". and
around Buenos Aires.
About their future ministry,
Nicholson says, "Metropolitan
Buenos Aires in Argentina has
to be one of the most gigantic
challenges to the gospel in this
half of the world. It will take
Book-of-Acts miracle tech
nique to reach that country,
but God is doing that kind of
miracle today."
Nicholson is a graduate of
Central Bible College in
Springfield, Missouri. Mrs.
Nicholson also attended the
college. Prior to Missionary
application, the Nicholsons
founded the home missions
church in La Grange, 111.;
served as associate pastors in
Auburn and Spokane, Wash-
ington; and pastored in Jeffer
son, Oregon.
Mr. Nicholson will be shar
ing thoughts about his future
ministry in Argentina at this
special missions rally. The
public is invited to attend.

Call toll-free
for poison in fo
Persons faced with an emergency situation involving
poisons or any toxic substance are now able to call a toll-free
number to reach the new Oregon Poison Control and Drug
information Center at the University of Oregon Health
Sciences Center.
The Center is staffed by nurses, physicians and
pharmacists, all specially trained to respond to incoming
calls about poisons and drugs. It is open 24-hours a day, seven
days a week, free of charge.
The new service combines the resources of the Drug
Information Service of the Oregon State University School of
Pharmacy and the existing UOHSC Poison Control Center
established in 1958 to serve physicians only.
Since the expanded Center is so new neither the local or
toll-free number is listed in the telephone directory.
Everyone is urged to write down this number so that it
will be handy in an emergency: 1-800-7165.
OCA conference to

The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 23, 1978 NINE
Federal funds weatherize
29 homes in Morrow County
The Oregon Corrections
Agency Region V Spring
Conference, which includes
representatives from 11 coun
ties, will be held on Friday,
March 31, at the Indian Hills
Red Lion Motor Inn in
Pendleton from 9 a.m. to 3:30
p.m.
Six speakers will address
the conference on various
aspects of the corrections
process and a panel discussion
titled "Alternatives to Deten
tion Involving Juvenile Status
Offenders" is planned.
The Blue Mountain Econo
mic Development Council an
nounced last week that 225
homes of low income people
have been winterized in the
five county area since last fall.
The total includes 29 homes in
Morrow County, 26 in Grant
County, 27 in Wheeler County,
18 in Gilliam County and 125 in
Umatilla County.
The federal winterization
funds were made available
through the Community Ser
vices Administration and the
Federal Energy Administra
tion. Services are given free of
charge to low income persons
who qualify.
Part of the federal govern
ment's program to conserve
energy, the services include
insulation, storm windows,
installing vapor barriers,
caulking around windows and
doors, emergency home re
pairs and a multitude of small
items such as pipe wrapping.
Many persons not yet in the
program may be eligible and
those who think they may
qualify are urged to contact
the nearest office listed below.
Now is the ideal time to make
an inquiry because work
crews are no longer facing the
backlog they had during the
winter months. Crews Can do
the insulation work now and
return in the fall to cover
windows and make other
winter preparations.
Jim Ellis, Community Ac
tion Director for the five-county
area encourages anyone in
terested to contact their local
office now instead of waiting
until the cold weather arrives
next fall.
Local inquiries should be
directed to : Pat Brindle,
