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

loaf, mashed potatoes, 24-hour
