French, a member of the NCA board as well as pres ident of the Oregon Cattle men's Association, joined cat tlemen from across the coun try in making contacts with members of Congress and administration officials. He explained that the NCA board meets annually in Washington in order to be updated on public issues of importance to calllemen and also to inform government officials of cattlemen's posi tions on the issues. A major purpose of the Congressional visits this year was to emphasize support ot administration proposals for both budget and tax rale reductions, thereby helping to bring inflation under control. The cattlemen also voiced strong support of efforts to reduce excessive regulation and strengthen the free enter prise system. French noted that inflation is the no. one problem of School board to The regular meeting of the Morrow County School Board will be held March 16, at 8 p.m. in the Morrow County School District office in Lex ington.

Because each character was so skillfully portrayed it is cattlemen as well as other segments of the economy. Reducing the inflation rate can reduce beef production costs and also improve de mand for beef. As it is now, cattlemen's production costs continue to rise faster than beef prices, resulting in a devasting cost -price squeeze, say the cattlemen. Needed changes in tax laws and in othe laws and regula tions also were emphasized by Ihe cattlemen. French was accompanied by his wife. Norma, second vice president of the Oregon Cow Belles.

Lisa Nix and John Bier were on stage Ihe mosl and carried Ihe lines so verv capably, strengthening their portrayals as Ihe play progressed. All eighl of the refugees were visible in most of Ihe scenes. Each member of the Frank and Van Daan families was very strong in his role. Lisa Nix. Ella Mae Green and Jim Ackley added the few humor ous touches to the production. Veteran actress Bonnie Ar rington and first-time perfor mer Jeff Bailey were excel lent in their supporting roles. Director Cerullo certainly did a great job of casting and was blessed by having the choice of such competent performers. The production staff for this drama had more difficult jobs than many other plays require, but surely showed Iheir abilities to handle the challenges well.
