the lone Mealsite Committee
(Senior Citizens) on Tuesday
noon, Feb. 12. Guests were
Regina Marks, nutrition pro
ject coordinator, and Rollin H.

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.

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
