COOOOCOOOOf OBITUARIES Thomas Nelson Thomas S. Nelson, 78, Hep pner, died Saturday, Dec. 30. Mr. Nelson was born Feb. 24, 1900, at Brushy Fork, near Roanoke, Virginia. A resident of the Heppner area for over 40 years, Tom headed west on a freight train as a young man. When the train caught fire in Wyoming he hastily disembarked with his clothes aflame. All his belongings were destroyed. He worked in Wyoming for a time before moving on to work the Anaconda mines in Mon tana. Tom was employed on ranches in Eastern Washing ton before coming to the Heppner area in the early 1930s, where he was employed by Frank Wilkinson as a sheepherder. In 1946 he moved to the Van Schoiack ranch where he continued to work with sheep. He later worked at the Barratt ranch, living at their Johnson Creek place. He then worked at the Pat Campbell ranch at Lonerock for 10 years before his retirement in 1970. Shortly after his retirement, he suffered a fall, fracturing a hip and requiring a lengthy hospital stay. In ailing health, he took up residence at Pioneer Memorial Hospital nursing home, living there until his death. The life of a sheepherder is a solitary one, but he grasped the chance to study the bible; reading it in it's entirety and quoting passages freely to fit the occasion at hand. Graveside funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 3, at Heppner Masonic Cemetery with the Rev. Edwin Sikes of the First Christian Church officiating. Sweeney Mortuary was in charge of arrange ments. Contributions may be made to the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Fund. Lexington soldier ends trailing Pvt. Russell D.

It was Potato Surplus Cont. from page 1 crop potatoes by 20-26 cents a hundredweight. However the 1978 crop price is still expect ed to be at or below the level of prices received in the last two years. Consumers will pay one-half to once cent per pound more for fresh potatoes than they would in the absence of this program, Bergland said. How ever, retail prices for potatoes and potato products are expected to remain at last year's level or up to 2 per cent higher, according to Depart ment economists. To take part in the program, growers must obtain authori zation for diversion for the local Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service (ASCS) offices. They also must have the potatoes graded by their local federal -state inspection service. Potatoes to be diverted must be mutilated by cutting, crushing or other authorized methods, to assure they are not returned to the fresh market. Diverted potatoes may be fed fresh or spread on pastures for spring grazing. Growers can feed the potatoes to their own cattle or arrange sale to other cattlemen. The grading service will certify the quality and quantity of potatoes diverted and that they have been mutilated. ASCS will issue payments based on the inspection certificates.
