Sifting through the TIMES
j . .... With Jtutin WMtherford
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Barges on river not coming
soon, progress slow, secretary
of Columbia Association .tells
Alpine meeting. That no
immediate relief for Morrow
County wheatgrowers can be
expected through projected
development of the Columbia
River for transportation pur
poses was portended by the
address of R.H. Kipp, execu
tive secretary of the Columbia
Valley Association, who spoke
before an assemblage of
interested farmers and others
, at the Alpine School on
Monday evening. A report of
the activities of the associa
tion for the past year, mimeo
graphed copies of which were
given out at the meeting,
contains the information that
even should the $858,000 ap
propriation, the amount
deemed necessary to make
navigation at all feasible east
of The Dalles, be obtained
from Congress it would take
two years to actually put
barges on the river.
A report of the educational
exposition held at Corvallis
last weekend, as given by Miss
Jeanette Turner and Harold
Gentry, Heppner High School
students who attended, held
the interest of the Lions at
their Monday luncheon. W.R.
Poulson, school superinten
dent, who accompanied them,
also made a report. Also
attending from here were
Miss Alice Cason and Earl
Thomson, students, and Miss
Jessie Palmiter, faculty
escort.
The special program for the
day was in charge of Gay M.
Anderson and Frank Turner,
song leader, and was featured
by numerous songs, among
which was a contest in which
half the members sang one
song, and the other half
another, each trying to out do
the other. Honors seemed
about equally divided.
W.W. Smead reported for
the local Red Cross committee
that popular subscriptions,
amounting to $84.25, had been
received, putting the special
drouth relief drive over in the
county by $34.25.
Heppner Rod and Gun Club
has been entered again in the
annual Oregonian telegraphic
trapshooting tournament, to
start this year on March 1,
announces Charles H.
La tour ell, president. Many
more clubs are expected to
enter this year, and compet
ition is expected to be much
keener, with the inclusion of
clubs from the state of
Washington.
Always a runner-up in this
shoot, the Heppner club has
the distinction of winning first
place the year the shoot was
instituted, four years ago.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Late Wednesday night the
unofficial temperature in
Keppner dropped to zero but
by this morning had risen to 10
degrees and an overcast sky
gave indication that a warm
ing trend was on the way.
Clouds and possible snow
flurries were forecast for
Thursday and Thursday night.
Heppner High students Miss
Joann Brosnan and Miss Judy
Collins will leave next week
for Corvallis to attend the
annual state Future Home
makers of America meeting
held on the OSC campus. Judy
is the new president of the
Heppner FHA chapter and
Joann the recently elected
secretary. Both girls are
honor roll students and have
been active in many other
fields. Mrs. Homer Hager,
school instructor and chapter
advisor, will accompany the
girls to the meeting.
The second area-wide meet
ing of persons and com
munities interested in the
problems connected with the
development of the John Day
dam was held last night at
Boardman under the sponsor
ship of the Boardman Com
mercial Club. A representa
tive group from the Heppner
Morrow Chamber of Com
merce attended the meeting.
Boardman. along with Ar
lington and other river com
munities, faces the assurance
of being drowned out when the
John Day dam is construc
ted. The present town of
Boardman will be either
partly or entirely under water
after the dam is built, depend
ing on what its eventual height
may be.
Salt can be a dangerous
weapon, according to a news
item received this week from
the GT's Monument corres
pondent. Darrel Farrens of
Monument suffered a broken
toe one day last week when he
dropped a block of salt on his
foot. Not long afterwards salt
caused a second casualty
when Darlene Boyer dropped
a block on her boot while
loading some in a car. When in
Monument it might be wise to
steer clear of all salt.
Steelhead fishing on the
John Day River in the vicinity
of Kimberly and Monument
was reported as excellent last
Saturday, but warm weather
early this week caused a rapid
rise in the water and stopped
all fishing by midweek. Ice
was also causing trouble in the
river by Tuesday and Wednes
day. The state police reported
that should the weather stay
cold there is a good chance
that by this weekend the water
will clear and drop again,
offering good fishing condi
tions. FIVE YEARS AGO
Congressman . Al Ullman
announces he will seek re
election to the U.S. House of
Representatives in 1976.
The five counties in which
Columbia Basin Electric Co
op operates will be receiving

Students of Heppner High's
Construction 2 Class put
wooden shingles on the roof
of the Democrat Gulch school
, house. They are interested in
construction and this is part of
their training program. Their
instructor is Ed Heimstra.
Those who worked on the roof
include Rob Eckman, Mike
Orwick. Doug Harris, Dave
Brandhagen and John
McLean.
The Soroptimist Interna
tional of Heppner honored this
year's Citizenship Award win
ners at a luncheon this week.
Kimee Haguewood. first place
winner, was presented a U.S.
Savings Bond, and Clay West,
second place winner, received
a $10 check.
Columbia Basin Electric

payments to the citizens of its
service area this year. This
local corporation is charged

business in the various cities
of its service area. Total

of drawing
Tom Simonton of Pendleton
entertained and instructed a
local artists' group last Wed
nesday in the art of "cartoon
ing." Simonton showed the group
some comic books that were
published in foreign countries
and gave some basic instruc
tion, focusing on problem
cartoon
areas
characters.
When asked how long he hud
been drawing cartoons he
commented that he had been
cartooning professionally for
35 years but that it was only an
avocation until about three
years ago when he retired
from his position with the
postal service.
Vera Simonton, Tom's wife,
is an art teacher in lone and is
presently instructing a spin
ning, dyeing and wenving
class for adults there.
Simonton is probably a
familiar face to many in the
Heppner area. He has painted
the windows of Heppner
merchants for many years
during the fair and rodeo
season.
