feT : iff :TTl F r"" ... ,tifi ; The Cardinal Company plus Gene Rietmann at the piano played at the carnival. lone Band Carnival resounding success "We raked in more than $800 and had prizes left over for next year," said, a delighted Gene Sartain after the lone Band Carnival last Saturday. "Three-quarters of our trip to California is paid for," he continued. "We were lucky." Sartain, who is the lone band teacher, helped put on the carnival to raise money for a select group of the marching band to go on a trip to California. He said a raffle at the fall and Christmas concerts should raise the rest of the money for the trip. The reason the carnival was so successful is because many of the prizes and materials used at the carnival were donated. Parents of the band members volunteered to work at the carnival. "This man (Gene Sartain) is fantastic," said Lorraine Ladd, president of the band parents group. "We had nothing in the way of music before because we had such a great turnover of teachers. In a matter of a couple of weeks, he has these kids playing like they never thought they could play. He can really transmit the knowledge to the kids and if we can keep him in this country, we will be fortu nate." Ladd said merchants in Heppner, Lexington, lone and Hermiston donated a variety of things to the carnival and anything left over will be used at a later time. She said some things will be raffled off at the lone concert Nov. 20. She said students are selling the raffle tickets now for $1 each or three for $2.50. She said other prizes will be raffled off at the Christmas concert. "We want the trip to be an annual thing," she said. "The attitude at the school is great and we are expanding the music program." Ladd said she wanted to publicly thank all the people who donated their time and items for the carnival inclu ding the school personnel, the merchants, the band parents and all the community.

October 25. 1979 ELEVEN Lexington Grange advocates gasohol research funds Resolutions adopted by the Lexington Grange recently include one in support of funding for research on using alcohol for motor fuel. The resolutions were intro duced at the Oct. 15 meeting, when Larry Lindsay of lone spoke on his attendance at a one-week, intensive training school dealing with the use of gasohol as an alternative fuel. Other resolutions adopted by the Grange were in support of protection for the Willow , Creek watershed and opposed U.S. Senate Bill 14, that would increase to 1,200 acres the amount of land eligible for government assistance for irrigation. Lindsay said the school on gasohol was held at Lindsay, Kansas. It was attended by farmers, engineers, chemists, industry and research person nel. There was such a demand for the information that it has been repeated many times. It was the consensus of those in attendance, he said, that fuel from a renewable source such as vegetable matter is a much more practical means of furnishing fuel needs than oil and coal, which is not renew able. Although it is a rather expensive fuel, the by-products could be used for livestock feed of a higher nutritive value than the origi nal product. Lindsay said Brazil is now using alcohol as fuel and both Chrysler and Volkswagen have been exporting cars that will operate on this fuel. There is a bill in Congress to set up an $800 million loan fund to back up the alcohol industry to make more use of it as fuel. Not many have gone into the production of alcohol because of the many govern ment regulations and licensing.
