David and April Hilton Sykes, Pebteherc Letters to the Editor Pro-growth attitude ironic To the Editor: I found it ironic to see an article in your January 1 issue concerning growth in Morrow County. Wayne Schwandt, manager of the Port of Morrow, stated growth in the area has not been detrimental and people should fight a no-growth attitude in this state. Having spent much time in recent years hunting areas in and around Morrow County, I would beg to differ with Schwandt 's assessment. De velopment of an industrial sight just east of Boardman, rivaled any instance of poor land use panning I have ever witnessed in the Willamette Valley. An area abounding in open land, a mecca to autumn flights of waterfowl, upland game birds, short-eared owls, mule deer and numerous other shorebirds was chosen to Obituaries Edna Bauman Lyons Edna Bauman Lyons, form er Heppner-Lexington area resident, passed away De cember 28, 1980. No service was held at her request. She was born in Ritzville, Wash., Jan 7, 1898, but moved with her family to a ranch., between Heppner and Lexing ton as a young girl and attended elementary and high school in Lexington.

Survivors include two daughters, Halleen Bankhead Kraetsch and Carol Lyons Martin ; five grandchildren, Brice Bankhead, Yvonne Bankhead Boehme, Jan Wal lin Strieby, Lori Martin Mc Cart and Jill Martin; two great-grandchildren, Carrie and Andy Wallin: and, locally, a brother.

Frank Howell Frank Howell, 93, a resident of Canyon Creek Guest Home, John Day, since 1978, died there Saturday, January 3. . He was born in Oregon City July 29. 1887, near Molalla, Oregon, to Adeline Northrup Howell and Stanford Howell. Frank's mother crossed the plains in a covered wagon in 1854 at the age of seven. She Newspaper of th of Morrow construct potato processing plants and eventually apart ment buildings. In order to accomplish this ill-conceived project, a number of water filled gravel pits, a marsh area and groves of Russian olive were leveled. In the resulting boom of construction which followed, a valuable wildlife habitat was lost for ever. I am not trying to advocate a no-growth attitude for Mor row County, or any other county in Oregon. What I am advocating and what the people of this state should be advocating is planned growth, with the wisest possible use of all lands. Schwandt says citizens should be vigilant of no-growth proponents. I say citizens should be vigilant of anyone threatening Oregon's unparalleled livability. Yours for Oregon Bill Rhoades Madras, Oregon made her home in a log cabin near the present city of Portland. After her marriage to Stanford Howell, twelve children were born, nine boys Tom, Bill, Hank, John, Joe, Pad, Louis, Ed and Frank, the youngest; and three girls -Tilda, Hetti and Ida. The family moved from Oregon City to the Hardman area where Frank grew up on McKinny Creek. His father died when Frank was about four years old, leaving the mother to raise the large family. After Frank grew older he took care of his mother and helped her. He worked on a farm near lone, sheared sheep, cut wood and hauled freight, mostly grain, to Heppner, where he stayed all night at the livery stable. On the return trip, freight was brought into Hardman. Frank helped clean up Heppner after the disastrous flood of 1903. He was a true woodsman and old-fashioned country gentle man. On June 26, 1910, Frank and Mable McDaniel of Hardman were united in marriage. To this union were born four boys, Rho Stanford, "Buster," Clifford Elmer, Everett Cres ton and Marvin Delmer. Frank and Mable raised their family in Burton Valley and Hardman, where the boys received their education. In 1935, the family moved to a ranch on Wall Creek near Monument where they resided for many years. After retiring, Frank and Mable made their home in Monument until they were forced by ill health to move to Spray for two years. In 1978, they moved again to Canyon Creek Guest Home in John Day where they celebrated their 70th wedding annivers ary on June 26, 1980. Funeral services were held at the Monument Community Church on Jan. 7, at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Milo Franke of John Day officiating. Special music was presented by the Wayne Leathers family.
