Hang Tough Pardner Two entrants in Sunday's Open Class Rodeo at Heppner had to hang on with arm power in the bull-riding and bronc-riding events. There were no reported injuries in the bull riding and a young rodeo clown managed to distract the animals after their rides were over.

Such excitement continued up to the closing moments of the 1979 Morrow County Rodeo.

Ted Schwarz was first in the tricycle division followed by Jarred Minger in second place.

The increased unemploy ment is due to the layoff of 170 workers at food processing plants in the Boardman area a seasonal variation. Stewart feels the county's economy will hold its own in spite of the national recession largely because of its strong agricultural base, and con struction of the new 1-82 freeway linking Washington's 1-90 with Interstate 1-80. Pro posed dam construction in Heppner should also alleviate the unemployment problems caused when the Carty Coal Fired Plant at Boardman is completed. So far, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has not released figures on the number of workers to be employed at the dam project. CLASSIFIEDS WORK FOR YOU!
