Thursday for Cub Scouts and
Boy Scout troops in the area.
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."
A complete listing of the
new rate schedule was in
cluded in the letter informing
CBEC customers of the in
crease. Kenny, Bill Snow, Emmett

Mr. Prock is survived by his

father, Vernon Prock, Hep

Thursday, March 15 at 7 p.m.
in the multi-purpose room at
Heppner Elementary.
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."
