EIGHT The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday February 1, 1979 Senior Citizen News By Justine Weatherford orrow County Pomona meets in lone On January 26 and 27, John Canaday, Heppner, was in Salem attending the Oregon State Council for Senior citi zens. The more than 300 delegates heard talks by Governor Victor Atiyeh, by James Carbray, President of the National Council of Senior Citizens, by Hugh D. Layden, Deputy Executive Director of the National Council, by Charles L. Winters, President of the Oregon Council, by Dick Wilson, Director of the Oregon State Council and by Ellen Schneiber, President of the Salem City Council and one of the founders of the Oregon State Council. On Fiday, Canaday visited with Senators Jernstedt and Thorne, but was unable to reach Representative Bel lamy. Senator Jernstedt gave Canaday copies of bills being considered by the legislature that will affect senior citizens. At the large state council meeting on Saturday at the Black Angus Restaurant, the Oregonians were praised by the national oficers for their work in getting the denturist bill passed. This was an advance in which Oregon took the lead. Governor Atiyeh told the delegates that he and the reorganized Department of Human Affairs will work dilligently to help senior citizens and their organi zations. The delegates spent con siderable time discussing President Carter's proposed cuts in various aspects of the Social Security program. They resolved to work toward preventing these cuts. They reviewed the steps that senior organizations had followed in obtaining medicare and re-' solved to continue to work toward a national health insurance program for all. Canaday traveled to Salem with June Winn, Pendleton, who represented Umatilla County. Canaday was selected to represent the county by the Senior Citizens Advisory Com mittee. He was elected to a three-year term on the board of directors of the state council. Ardith Hunt, Lexington, chairman of the county advisory committee went to Portland with Rollin Rey nolds, director of the ECOAC Area Agency on Aging on Friday, Jan. 26, to meet with representatives of other areas in the state to discuss the basis of allocations to the various areas under the Older Ameri can Act. It is evident that the areas with larger populations and more rapid growth are gain ing the most in allocations. Morrow County seniors are reminded that the Social Security Administration rep resentative will be at the Heppner Neighborhood Center the morning of Feb. 9. Also, blood presssures will be taken before the Wednesday, Feb. 7 dinner. On Thursday the ladies social and crafts after noon has been increasing in popularity and attendance. Menus for senior dinners in the first week of February include: at Irrigon, on Monday, Feb. 5, creamed tuna with peas on biscuits, deviled eggs, cheese sticks, molded fruit salad, biscuits and jelly and carrot-pineapple cake with topping. On Tuesday, Feb.. 6, that same menu will be used in Law enforcement officers resign Morrow County's law enforcement scene underwent a dramatic personnel change this week, when resignations became effective for a state police trooper, a sheriff's deputy and a Heppner city policeman. Wednesday was Trooper Tom Dixon's final day in Oregon State Police uniform, with Friday set for the final day of service for Deputy Kip Morris and Heppner City Police officer Jack Campbell. Dixson, who joined the state police force in June of 1975, is leaving Heppner to join his father in operating a family ranch near Milton-Freewater. His new career "will be a little different," he admitted, adding that "my wife and I enjoyed our time in the Heppner area very much. We'll miss it, and we'll miss some of the people a lot." Comments were not immediately available from the other departing lawmen. Replacements for the outgoing officers have not yet been named. Hospital Notes Patients admitted to Pio neer Memorial Hospital the past week and still receiving treatment are Clell Rea, lone; Gary Strong, Dean Hunt and Kenneth Klinger, all of Lex ington; Mildred Howell, Car mel Lennon and Earl G. Pettyjohn, all of Heppner. Admitted and later dis charged was Rosemary Cox, of Heppner. Around About Cont. from page 4 is wrong at the heart of education. The mind that can't weigh and measure with words after 12, 16, 19 years at school is a mind in distress. "In the next ten years things are going to change. Already we're trying to get back to reading, writing and ciphering. What else is there, when you come down to it? What would happen if people gained a reasonable command of language? Inconceivable! They wouldn't vote for many politicians. They wouldn't buy any deodorants. If you can keep your participles from dangling, you can spot a non sequitur. If you can spot a non sequitur, you can tell when people are lying." (For you who have forgotten or who missed taking Latin "non sequitur" means "a remark that has no bearing on what the speaker is talking about. It is an inference or conclusion that does not follow the premise.") There are several good articles in the same magazine, such as the large, sad, cover story about the Columbian Connection, the billion-dollar network which smuggles pot and coke into the U.S. From it I learned that the marijuana farmer gets only about one per cent of what his harvest is worth, but that growing pot is five or six times as profitable as growing coffee, corn or cotton (and our farmers sometimes think they suffer). Well, enough reviewing. I hope that I shall stir about more and gather more items of interest soon. I certainly appreciate having telephonee calls which help me put together more interesting columns. I owe the women of Alpha Theta an apology. I regret that I misswrote the name of their sorority as Alpha Zeta in last week's paper. My excuse is that I often don't hear too well, especially beginning consonants. Then, too it was "all Greek" to me. So sorry. Heppner. At lone and Heppner on Wednesday, Feb. 7, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, 24-hour cabbage slaw, green beans, bread slices, tapioca cream pudding with topping will be served.
