The lone band concert last
week had its largest turnout in
years with a full house
consisting of several hundred
persons in attendance, accord
ing to Loarraine Ladd. presi
dent of the band parents'
organization.
The two-hour concert had 73
lone students involved from
fifth grade to 12th grade.
The Beginning Band played
nine short tunes to open the
show. It was the first time
most of the 31 members had
played in front of an audience.
"Some people said that band
played as well as the high
school band did last year,"
Ladd said.
The junior high band had 23
members in it and they, like
the grade school band, wore
outfits with red vests that the
band mothers had made.
The high school band played
next with its 19 members.
The music then became a
little more jazzier as the
intermediate junior high jazz
group went on stage and
played tunes like "Sue's
Blues", "Jazz Chorale," and
"Boogieloo Man."
The advance jazz band then
played, consisting mostly of
high school students except
for Eric Pointer, a sixth
grader who plays alto sax, and
Syliva Ladd, an eighth grader
who plays tenor. That group
played "Blowin' the Blues."
"Exit with the Blues." and
"Adobe."
A brass ensemble, consist
ing of Roger Childers, Mi
chelle LaRue, Shawn LaRue
and Gene Sartain. performed
"Allegro for Brass."
There was also a drawing at
the concert that raised about
$450 for the band fund, which
will help pay for band expen
ses and the planned trip to
California. Raffle tickets were
sold and six donated prizes,
including a turkey, a gift
certificate and a donut maker,
were awarded.

The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday. November 29. 1979 THREE
Heppner rancher heads Cattlemen
Randy McCabe punches out a steady beat on the drum
set.
Justice Court
Kay French of Heppner.
member of a fourth genera
tion ranching family, is the
new president of the 3.200
member Oregon Cattlemens
Association. '
He was elected this last
wrek in Portland at the 66th
annual convention and suc
ceeds Bill Ross, Jordan Val
ley. First Vice President is
Sam Dement, cattle rancher
from Myrtle Point and former
state Senator.
Other officers elected for
two year terms were second
vice presidents Bob Beck.
Cove; Wade Officer, Canyon
City; andLes marks. Hermis
ton. Completing their second
year are Merlin Hughes.
Heppner; Bob Simmons, Ma
dras; Neil Taylor, Lakeview;
and Mike Owen, Eugene.
Association treasurer will
be Mike Kortge, The Dalles.
Donald Ostensoe, Portland,
was retained as the executive
vice president of the Associa
tion. French said that he is
optimistic concerning the beef
cattle industry in Oregon and
the nation at least for the next
year to 18 months. However,
he said he is most concerned
about the necessity for expan
sion of the cattle herds due to
the cost of borrowing operat
ing capital which is now at the
15 percent level. French, who
is 52. and his wife Norma,
have three daughters.
The cattlemen passed 27
resolutions at the convention.
The cattlemen went on
record in support of returning
control of federal grazing,
mining and timber lands to the
states. This is known as the
"Sagebrush Rebellion". The
cattlemen said more than 60
percent of the land in Oregon
and nearly 50 percent in the
majority of western states, is
controlled by the federal
government. Federal legisla
tion, excessive regulations
and an overwhelming number
of court decisions in favor of
environmentalists have had a
disastrous effect on the eco
nomy of all western states,
particularly the livestock in
dustry. The cattlemen aslo passed a
resolution to support the use of
the controversial chemical
2-4-D.
The OCA resolved to press
for a one week later opening of
the mule deer season to
reduce potential fire hazard
and to press for a three-week
bow hunting season to precede
the gun season rather than a
six-week season. The cattle
men feel the longer season
puts undue pressures on
landowners and hunting re
sources. The OCA favors the idea of
raising the branding fee from
$25 to $50 because of the brand
department's financial diffi
culties. The cattlemen passed a
resolution which stated the
power supply from the present
power arrangement is not
adequate so resources must be
pooled. Therefore, the OCA
plans to support the proposed
Pacific Northwest Electrical
Power Planning and Conser
vation Act, which achieves
cost effective conservation,
encourages renewable energy
resources and lowers costs.
The OCA members resolved to
elect officials to public office
who support the act.

Brookings 4-H'er to report on Finland
By John Nordheim,
i . County Extension Agent
Finland, with its midnight
sun, abundant berries and
fish, and up to 66,000 lakes,
will be the topic when Blanche
Grover of Brookings reports
on her experiences in that
nation in Morrow County Dec.
3 to 5, according to John
.rdheim, county extension
agent.
Grover returned in mid-Oc-
tober from six months in the
Scandinavian country as an
International Four-H Youth
Exchange representative. She
is now busy sharing with
Oregonians her experiences
while living and working with
Finnish familes in 4-H clubs,
schols, and other organiza
tions. In Morrow County, she will
speak at the Heppner Cham
ber of Commerce at noon Dec.
3 and at the 4-H Leaders
Meeting at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 in
north Morrow and at several
schools during her stay.
IFYE is a people-to-people
program that started in 1948
as an effort to increase
international understanding.
The privately-financed pro
gram is coordinated by the
National 4-H Council. This
year, Oregon sent IFYE
representataives to Finland
and to Nepal.
Living with five weeks of
24-hour sunlight was one of the
things Grover found most
interesting about her host
. country. In order to under
stand the effect, she suggests
that "you go outside some
afternoon about 4:30 or 5 and
tell yourself it's really 1 a.m.
"If you can convince your
self that it is really 1 a.m., you
will know how I felt as time
after time I saw the sun
shining in the middle of the
night as if it were only late
afternoon."
She also discovered that,
like Oregon, Finland has an
abundance of berries. The
ten-year 4-H member and
Oregon State University gra
duate picked wild strawber
ries, blueberries, cultivated
strawberries, currents and
hilla berries which are used in
fruit juices and alcoholic
beverages.
In addition to sending IFYE
representatives to other na
tions, each year Oregon fami
lies host four to six delegates
from other nations in the
two-way exchange program.
Nordheim said.
Persons interested in serv
ing as IFYE host families, or
young people interested in
becoming representatives,
are particularly encouraged
to attend one of the meetings
where Grover will speak and
show her slides. There are
additional openings Dec. 3 if
another group would like to
see the program. The Morrow
County Extension office num
ber is 676-9642.
