Members who are four months in arrears with their pay ments have their TV's discon nected by the Co-op. A motion passed to raise the re-hook up fee from $5 to $10. The other motion was to authorize Elby Akers to go ahead and buy the testing equipment needed. The same officers were re elected for the ensuing terms: Elby Akers, president; and Herb Ekstrom and Marylin Childers, directors. Six months' free TV was won by Linda LaRue, four months by Gale Gray, and two months, Berl Akers. Pie and coffee were served by the members of the senior class of lone High School. SENIOR CITIZENS Ten members and two guests attended the meeting held at Beecher's Cafe and Lounge of the lone Mealsite Committee (Senior Citizens) on Tuesday noon, Feb. 12. Guests were Regina Marks, nutrition pro ject coordinator, and Rollin H. Reynolds, human resource planner, both from Pendleton. Discussion was held on how to get more senior citizens to attend, as the attendance is low. There is a possibility of the meals being discontinued if more people are not served. There are many other activi ties that could be implemen ted if enough people attended. The Senior Citizen bus is available for activities. Suzzanne Jepson has had several meetings on Medicare and supplementary insurance. Pat Wright is available for blood-pressures tests. A realm of possibilities exists for social activities. It was decided to have a potluck dinner for all senior citizens after the weather is a little more stable, to explore all the possible activities. To qualify as a senior citizen one must be 60 years old, but in the case of husband and wife one must be 60 and the other may be younger. Meals are served every Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the United Church of Christ basement. Please come out and join us, and help get a good program going. NEWS OF PEOPLE Adon Hamlett had the misfortune to slip on the ice last Thursday morning, breaking a bone in his wrist. Herb Ekstrom and Maureen McElligott had a head-on collision last Friday morning on the Gooseberry Road, due to ice conditions. Maureen's car had quite a bit of damage, while the school bus had minor damage. Maureen also suf fered a broken nose. Lumber mill survey reports no change There was apparently no significant change in the Western lumber industry's level of performance in Janu ary as compared with Decem ber, according to a survey by the Western Wood Products Association. A sample of 262 mills disclosed that in January 14.5 percent of the reported em ployee force was not working because of market-related conditions. The rate of produc tion for the same mills was off 13.5 percent from normal. A similar survey in Decem ber, covering 225 mills, showed employment among them was off 15.5 percent and production down by 13 per cent. The January report showed that three plants had reopened after market-related closures, while another 17 were continu ing economic shutdowns. In addition, 93 mills reported they were continuing some curtailment in operations which affects employment and production. Mr. and Mrs. Charles O'Connor spent the weekend in Portland. Pleasure boaters on the Columbia River may have to schedule their cruises through the locks at three dams instead of sailing at will, all for the sake of energy conservation. The Portland District of the Army Corps of Engineers says each time one of the locks is operated, approximately 20-45 million gallons of water is diverted from the turbine generators. That water, if used for electrical power generation, would produce enough power needs for one average Pacific Northwest household for about three to six months, with the potential annual electrical energy sav ings totalling 15 million kilowatt-hours. Under present federal regu lations any single boat ap proaching the locks at any time may pass through within the hour. The Engineers wish to change the regulations to permit scheduled hours for upstream and downstream operation of the locks at Bonneville, The Dalles and John Day dams. Hearings are to be held in Portland and The Dalles, respectively, on Feb. 27 and 28. Both meetings will start at 7:30 p.m., in Portland at the Bonneville Power Administra tion Auditorium, and at The Dalles in the Chinook Room nnn't Mice Oi fn Thoeo WII l I VI It?
