OBITUARIES Ethel H. Lehman dies in Pasco in auto mishap Federal government slows down gasahol growth The Ileppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon. Thursday, September 13, 1979 THREE WSU grad replaces Hackett as Gazette Times editor Ethel H. Lehman, a fre quent participant in Morrow County's Rodeo Parades and most recognized as the 88-year -old Echo woman who rode at the head of the Dress-Up Parade in Pendleton Friday night, died Sunday night in a car accident near Pasco. Mrs. Lehman was unable to attend this year's Rodeo Parade in Heppner. She was normally a participant in the local parade as well as a rider in the Umatilla County and Milton-Freewater parades. The Washington State Pa trol reported Mrs. Lehman was a passenger in a car driven for Forest E. Adams, 72, Hermiston when it collided with a car driven by a woman from Morton, Washington at an intersection a mile south of Pasco about 3:20 p.m. Sunday. Adams suffered bumps and bruises. "She always looked real sharp and rode a horse that looked sharp," said Bud Biggerstaff, president of the Main Street Cowboys. For most of the last decade, it was Danny Boy whom Mrs. Leh man broke in when she was about 78. The horse was 18 years old. Mrs. Lehman began riding horses when she was 5 and her father, L.B. Wells, reaised horses for a living on his homestead west of Echo. Her horse, Danny Boy, was an Appaloosa. He will be given to a great-great niece, 10-year-old Kelli Campbell of Hermis ton. "She has done more than anybody to promote Echo," said Echo City Administrator Susan Schuening, who noted that Mrs. Lehman had been honored by the city at its centennial celebration this summer. Mrs. Lehman was born in Alkali Canyon in Echo terri tory, August 17, 1892 and her parents came from New York to homestead. She married Walter Lehman in 1980 and they honeymooned at the Bowman Hotel in Pendleton. In memory of Mrs. Lehman, Mrs. Barbara Campbell will lead Danny Boy in the Round-up Parade.

Port of Morrow Commis sioner Larry Lindsay says the main stumbling block in development of gasahol in the United States is the federal government. In a speech Monday to the Heppner Chamber of Com merce, Lindsay said the Department of Energy favors use of alcohol to reduce the nation's dependence on Arab oil but the Department of Agriculture's Bob Bergland is against it and feels it could have "an adverse effect on food supplies." Lindsay would rather have the Department Secretary think about the impact on agricultural prices which al cohol production would have on farm surpluses. His wife noted that food by-products of gasoline contain more protein after the alcohol is extracted. Lindsay and his wife atten ded a school on gasahol in Colby, Kansas and feel the alternative of gasahol should be explored. "Morrow County could be a large sugar beet producer, Lindsay told chamber mem bers. Noting that Brazil is striving for complete fuel indepen dence through use of 20 per cent of alcohol in gasoline supplies, Lindsay said alcohol is a renewable resource and any crop high in sugar and starch can be used. In using alcohol, no special adjustments are needed or special tanks required, accor ding to Lindsay. And alcohol provides higher octanes and is RUBBER STAMPS Made To Order The Heppner Gazette-Times Phone 676-9228 r Phot o Is lock ORDER NOW FOR CHRISTMAS....

Lindsay said alcohol re duces the amount of carbon monoxide released in the air by one-third and eliminates dieseling in late model cars. He added that it releases less cer-causing agents) into the environment. The port commissioner was asked by Heppner High School Principal Jim Bier about the negative effects of the amount of energy needed to produce the alcohol for gasahol. Lind say admitted there is negative output of energy but said there was a lag in research efforts to determine how much energy was spent at gasoline refin eries. Lindsay said it would not be impossible for the country to successfully shift to alcohol production, citing the techno logical advance of the nation during World War II when the U.S. was faced with a cutoff of rubber from Southeast Asia. The country learned to de velop synthetic rubber as a substitute. The byproduct of alcohol production from corn tastes like cornflakes and is in demand overseas, Mrs. Lind say explained. Mrs. Lindsay, a chemist, was credited with producing the second best batch of alcohol from a laboratory still. at the Kansas school, Lindsay told chamber members. The school drew 70 partici pants and several were from Oregon, one of whom was the Dean of Mechanical Engineer ing at Oregon Technical Institute, Klamath Falls. Lindsay expects Klamath Falls to have one of the first alcohol production plants in Oregon. A school in gasahol produc tion is expected to be held at Blue Mountain Community College or at Eastern Oregon State College at La Grande, County Extension Agent Har old Kerr reported. Lindsay feels gasohol pro duction is an alternative energy source which needs more government attention than it is presently receiving and vital to establishing the nation's energy independence of the OPEC countries. Public Hearings set this month The Oregon Department of Energy will conduct two public hearings this month on proposed administrative rules for implementing the Indus trial and Commercial Tax Credit Program, and to amend the Residential Alter native Energy Tax Credit Program.
