This last couple of weeks, as a substitute bus driver, I have driven the route to Lexington, , Northside to Morgan and Cecil, and the Gooseberry route. I was amazed at the water runoff damage done to fields, roads and highways. You do not realize how bad Adventists schedule Singspiration Heppner's Seventh Day Ad ventist Church will host a "Community Singspiration" night of Christian fellowship All Saints9 to hear EOSH chaplain Thirty youth will gather for weekend retreat at United Methodist Church Junior and Senior High Youth Groups from three nearby United Methodist Churches will come to Hep pner for a weekend retreat over Saturday March 10 at the local Methodist Church. Five ministers will be with the young people: Rev. Jim Fellers, Pendleton, Rev. Dave Stewart, Hermiston, Rev. Wes Simpson-Stanton and Rev. Patty Simpson-Stanton, Echo, and the host pastor Rev. Steve Tollefson. Around About Cont. from page 4 Quest says: "For the 500 million people who live outside India's main urban areas, the central problem is uncontrollable water resulting in constant flood or drought." "Most excruciating of all, 100,000 Indian villages, or one in six, do not have a source of drinking water within the radius of a mile. 'Water to drink' Prime Minister Morarji Desai observed recently, 'is this not a basic need to be fulfilled.' "Recently launched by Desai's government, the answer is a billion-dollar program designed to bring water to every village on the subcontinent by 1983, and achievement undreamed-of throughout India's history." Although I can't foresee Heppner suffering like the villages of India, I am convinced that people must control natural waters. In the annual report of the Morrow Soil and Water Conservation District, a supplement to last week's paper, you read about the importance of irrigation storage reservoirs : "Water, a very precious source, sometimes becomes a problem and an expense, yet how often have we thought about having some of this 'problem water' available to us for irrigation during the dry summer months? If we could have irrigation water available during those summer months we could add an approximate 1.5 tons of hay per acre to our yield; on pasture for livestock another 30 days of grazing could be expected." A storage dam offers prevention of flooding; it affords water storage for periods of need, and it can contribute other plus features like recreational possibilities. Any big chance is often disturbing to a community. The residents of southern Morrow County have considered a dam near Heppner for so many years it can not be a surprise to anyone. Many have worked diligently through the years to bring the dam closer to a reality. Although, as always, a few feel threatened and upset by the project, surely most of the citizens must understand the dam's great value to the whole Willow Creek community. r Investments Secured by Real Estate EXAMPLE: Invest $4500.

Mrs. Coppock (Suzanne) is wife of wheat farmer, Larry, and they farm in the Adams area with their two sons, Daren and Eric. "One of the duties of the Oregon Wheathearts," said Mrs. Coppock, "is to promote the use of our wheat and wheat products. One of the better tasting ways is to sponsor a cake baking contest." The wheat growers have sponsored the contest for 22 years. Mrs. Coppock said that anyone may enter the contest held at the county fairs in those counties that produce wheat.

It Is Written seminars are conducted in an informal, classroom-type setting, with time for questions and answers. Each person attend ing will receive a seminar kit, including, among other things a Bible that he will use during the meetings of the day, and which will be his to take home. A popular feature of these seminars is a vegetarian luncheon served to all partici pants, and a discussion of healthful living. Vandeman and his staff introduced the seminar plan a few years ago, as a means of meeting people and learning their spiritual needs first- . hand. The response, they report, has been enthusiastic. At one seminar 32 different faiths were represented, and in another there were 40. "People seem to like the relaxed atmosphere, and the style," he commented. Judging by past experience, the It Is Written staff recom mends that those interested in attending the Pasco seminar make reservations early.
