FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 17, 1979 youngsters await l-lH siimmpr fun H. -U.JL -vL-..m... jl JLX. At this time of year, younger 4-H members start thinking ahead to the fun and adven ture of 4-H Camp in the mountains. All members, fourth through seventh grade are eligible to attend and should have received a camp appli cation form last week. Appli cations are due in the Exten sion office by May 25. Extension Events... 1 By Birdine Camp will be entirely new this year, with re-arrangement of all programs to offer different experiences. One new idea is a full day away from the camp site which will offer time to explore the woods and enjoy total outdoor living. Craft and fun time will be more in-depth, with each camper having an opportunity to choose a particular craft of interest, and time to complete a project. Traditional events such as campfire singing, games, and ceremonies will, of course, be part of the program. Costs this year are $12.50 for the first camper in the family, and $10 for each additional camper. The bargain for families was suggested by the camp committee as they realize most families are fighting a battle against infla tion and they feel all members should be given every chance to participate in the outdoor educational program. Camp dates are June 24-27. Members are encouraged to get their applications in just as soon as possible. Campers will be taken on a "first come" basis! Scholarships by 4-H Council are available to any member who might need financial assistance to attend. Plans are underway tor another 4-H British Columbia Exchange involving Morrow,.

The site preferred, the EPA says, is a portion of the Boeing. Agri Industrial property south west of the city of Boardman. Judge Nelson noted that similar sludge disposal is being undertaken by Portland in the Willamette Valley and in the Vancouver area and before they give their appro val to the project, he and other local officials want to see the process in action. The EPA said the major impact associated with barg ing the sludge would be a "potential sludge spill" on the Columbia River, but if spread on the soil in Morrow County, "the liquid sludge would be a beneficial soil conditioner and light fertilizer with about four percent nitrogen."

As for odor, the EPA con tends the "stabilized sludge in slurry or dried cake form will not emit offensive odors so long as it is properly handled and when sludge is applied to the agricultural lands, three to eight miles from the city of Boardman and a half to one mile from Interstate 80N, "odors should not be notice able beyond the immediate vicinity."

Proper tilling of the soil after the sludge application would alleviate any mosquito infestation problems, the EPA report stated.
