Oregon, Thursday, January N, Historical Society discusses historical farms, Smith falls by Delpha Jones The Morrow County Histori cal Society met on Monday night, Dec. 29, at the Jim Bloodsworth home for their regular meeting. In the ab sence of the secretary, Bar bara Bloodsworth filled the chair. A report was made that Ruth McCabe, secretary, and Delpha Jones, chairman, had attended the meeting of the Forest Service and the Willow Creek water users concerning the Smith ditch in the moun tains. The ladies expressed the wishes of the society that this ditch and waterfall be preserved, as it is the only waterfall in Morrow County and has been there since the 1930s. The society has purchased two of the newly printed books on Umatilla County for the local school libraries. These are historical accounts of the progress and pioneers of that area. Folding chairs for the mu seum are to be purchased to help with the seating problem there when groups hold meet ings or come to see the museum. Picture frames are being made and will hold some of the old-time pictures that are at the courthouse and, at present time, not on display. These will be hung in the courtroom.

With this change, the secre tary has the discretion not to call reserves if the daily adjusted average price for any of the previous five days is below the call point." Berg land said. 'This applies even if the five-day moving average price exceeds the call level for the required five days. "This will give additional flexibility to avoid calling reserve loans in cases when erratic market forces push up market prices temporarily." Bergland said. The regulations making this change were filed with the Federal Register Dec. 8. Deadline Friday for comments on grazing changes A second extension to com ment on proposed changes in grazing regulations has been announced by Cecil D. An drus, secretary of the Interior Department. The new comment period now ends this Friday, January 9. Andrus granted the second extension at the request of several members of Congress.
