EIGHT The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday February 15, 1979
New phone books carry
community and civic
information
A schedule of senior citizen
agencies, programs and
events highlights the new
telephone directory for Hep
pner, lone and Lexington
which will be delivered begin
ning Tuesday, Feb. 13, accord
ing to Pacific Northwest Bell
Manager Linda Buckner.
She says the schedule is part
of a new 16 page color
community information sec
tion sandwiched between the
white and yellow pages of the
new telephone book. The
section also includes a direct
ory of city officials for
Heppner, lone and seven other
Umatilla and Morrow County
cities, sports schedules for
Blue Mountain Community
College and nine high schools
and a list of service clubs.
The information is included
with advertising for local
businesses.
"This is the first year we've
included community events
information along with our
directory," Buckner says.
"We feel many people, espec
ially the elderly, will find this
section a quick easy reference
source for some of the service
information that may have
been hard to find in the past."
While the new color section
may be the most spectacular
addition to the book, Buckner
says, there are several other
changes which book users
may find valuable. They
include:
New "911" numbers listed
on the Emergency Page for
the Heppner, lone and Lexing
ton fire departments.
New "911" numbers on
the Emergency Page for
Heppner, Hermiston, Lexing
ton, Stanfield and Umatilla
ambulance service.
New "911" number for the
lone and Lexington police
departments.
A new toll-free number for
the Poison Information Cen
ter: 1-800-452-7165.
A new toll free number for
the deaf and hard of hearing
who wish to use a teletype
writer (TTY) to communicate
with the Pacific Northwest
Bell business office in Port
land. PNB's TTY at 1-227-8973
gives TTY users a direct
teletypewriter link for con
ducting any telephone com
pany business, including dir
ectory assistance.
A new "966" prefix added
to the numbers within the
Pendleton free calling area.
A new page (page 10)
listing Basic Telephone Ser
vice Rates for PNB's cities in
Umatilla and Morrow
Counties.
Buckner says the new tele
phone book shows signs of
continued growth in Umatilla
and Morrow counties. There
are approximately 23,081
alphabetical listings and 440
pages in the new phone book.
That's 1,440 more listings and
48 more pages not counting
the color section than the
1978 directory.
This year's PNB directory
carries a cover photograph
taken by Ray Atkeson, the
well-known Oregon scenic
photographer. It's of Washing
ton's Wenatchee River. Last
year, an Atkeson photo of
Oregon's Kiwanda appeared
on all PNB directories in
Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
Directory delivery should be
complete by February 19,
Buckner says.
Lexington TOPS name
week's loser
The Lexington chapter of
the TOPS (Take Off Pounds
Sensibly) club met last week,
with Mary Roberts presiding.
Seven members recited the
TOPS pledge, and Charlene
Papineau won honors for
being the "best loser" of the
week.
Club leader Roberts read a
letter from the regional TOPS
coordinator, and announced
that the TOPS organization's
State Recognition Day will be
held June 1-2 at the Sheraton
Hotel in Portland.
The Lexington TOPS chap
ter, chartered in 1969, is
seeking more members from
the southern Morrow County

taking part in the TOPS
program are urged to call

Farm Bureau blasts
government guarantee
of 90 percent parity
Government guarantees of
90 per cent of parity prices to
farmers could cost taxpayers
$21 billion in 1979, with a 30 per
cent acreage set-aside, or $28
billion with no set-aside,
Oregon Farm Bureau Presi
dent Waldron Johnson said
Monday, February 5 in a
phone call from Chicago.
Johnson, quoting from stat
istical approximations of the
effects of the price guarantee
demanded by farmers now
marching on Washington,
D.C., also predicted an in
crease in the Consumer Price
Index of 18.7 per cent in 1979 if
the demands are met.
Because of higher costs to
feed and seeds, farmers will
net $11 billion in government
funds with a 30 per cent
acreage .set-aside, or $13
billion with no set-aside re
quirement. "Farm Bureau has more
than 3 million member fami
lies in the United States and
Puerto Rico. It is their
consensus, expressed through
their delegates at a recent
national convention, that
guaranteed parity is wrong,"
Johnson said.
"To saddle the taxpayers
with this additional expense at
a time of galloping inflation is
self-defeating, and not in the
best interests of either the
farmer or the consumer, he
continued.
Johnson said that Farm
Bureau would rather the
government make an inten
sive effort to ai farmers to
develop new markets for
agricultural products. Also, he
said, delegates to the recent
convention budgeted a half
million dollars of their own
funds to further such develop
ment. "We sympathize with the
plight of the farmers, whose
financial position finds them
caught up in a vicious cost
price squeeze," he said.
"However, we feel that
further government invole
. ment in food production would
only serve to centralize con
trol, and ultimately cost all of
us more for food and produc
tion costs."
Johnson said Farm Bureau
is supporting a bill in Con
gress, which would strengthen
the farmer's bargaining
power with those who buy his
raw product.
"We believe farmers can
survive only'when they band
together in programs of self
help. Government handouts
are not the approach to take
when the root of our inflation
is too much government
involvement already," John
son said.
