Glen Ward, Heppner Troop Committee Chairman, said the meeting will be held by several items, among them are the general inflation of our economy, the two severe ice storms we have had in the last two years costing the co-op about $400,000, and the fact that CBEC has absorbed wholesale rate increases and other costs without passing them along to the customers." According to a letter to customers, Columbia Basin Manager Fred Toombs stated that "even with these in creases in effect, we are still below what most people pay for electricity and it is still one of the best bargains on the market."

Bill Kuhn, Heppner Scout master, will be on hand to discuss the Boy Scout pro gram, and Howard K. Russell, District Executive of the Blue Mt. Council, will speak to boys and parents about the Cub Scout program. Cub Scouting is a home and neighborhood centered pro gram designed for boys ages 8-10. Boy Scouts concentrate on a program of outdoors, hiking, camping and survival for boys ages 11-and older. "In both programs, for the Cub Pack or Scout Troop to be successful and the boys to realize the full benefits and' enjoyments, it is vital that parents cooperate in the formation, organization, lead ership and program planning phases of the program," said Ward. He further noted that it is for this reason that parents are required to attend this organizational meeting with their son. No boy will be registered if he attends the meeting by himself. "Heppner has had an excel lent scouting program in the past and the leaders are positive that parents and boys will want to continue the fine tradition of good scouting in the community," said Ward, "and we hope to see them at the meeting next Thursday."
