These monies will be used for beef education in schools, consumer informa tion programs, advertising, promotion and public rela tions programs, for the Ore gon beef industry. A considerable amount of this budget has been allocated for national beef programs which will be administered by the national Beef Council of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Rosebrook stated that, "Even though we have excellent programs in Oregon and throughout the western United States, it is most important that beef promotion organizations like ourselves help fund a national program which will reach the large population centers of the east coast and to some degree the mid-west. There is consider able misinformation concern ing our product and it is up to us to give the consumers proper nutritional information concerning beef. Monies received by the Oregon Beef Council are generated by the sale of cattle and calves, by deducting funds from producers and feeders at the time of sale.

This is a new hobby for Prepare now for wheat weaving class A wheat weaving class will be taught by Judy Wright this next fall. The class is offered through Blue Mountain Com munity College. Now is the time to begin gathering the wheat. It should be gathered in the "dough" stage. Wheat will be in the dough stage about two weeks before harvest and will have just turned from green to yellow gold and the heads will be standing straight. There will be approximately 4 6 inches of green straw near the (tmtinrl If the urnin on the head, when pinched, is "milky" the wheat is green; if it is "doughy" the wheat is Just right. Wheat cut in the dough stage will be the most pliable and better in color. Ripe wheat may also be used but will not be as workable and there will be more waste. Cut the wheat 4 6 inches from the ground. Tie into a bundle, keeping the heads on one end of the bundle. Hang or stack loosely so air will circulate around the bundle of wheat. When ready to use cut the wheat just above the first joint. Slide the leaf sheaf away and discard. This will leave you a clean, slender straw with head attached. Soak clean wheat in cold water for 30 minutes and then roll in a wet towel. This will keep wheat in a workable condition for several hours.

ByJUSTINE i WKATIIKKKOKI) Although a great many folks went traveling about Inst week and over the 4th, I Just stayed home and enjoyed visiting with two young fellows from rather distant places, from England and from New York. Last Wednesday afternoon my neighbor, Jack Loyd, brought Kathy Jensen and her soccer-playing, English-Irish nephew, Steve Murphy, to my livlngroom. Besides talking about soccer and his work and future plans, we vlstited about the coming royal wedding. It seems some Americans are objecting to the cost of the ceremony - but the British love the big show both sentimentally and practically. Practicality It will mean a real shot on the arm to their sagging economy. Many have found employment manufac turing wedding keepsakes and souvenirs, some rather inexpensive and some very costly, which they hope will have a tremendous sale. Business establishments which will really boom include the tour companies, hotels, restaurants, haberdashery firms and ladies' fashion houses. Steve said that seeing Prince Charles and Lady Di on the tely many times each day was getting a bit tiresome. I bet It is getting a bit tiresome, too, for the royal couple who are watched every minute and have their every move and every word discussed pro and con by every media. Wednesday evening the Swansons, lone, told me that a chap from New York would be bicycling through Heppner on Thursday morning and suggested I might meet him at the newspaper office for a chat. When we talked I learned that he, Dave Siskind, had just completed his baccalaureate work at Cornell University where I told him my neighbor, John Rawlins, who now hus his Ph. D., is teaching. This surprised him. I tried to reach John's mom, Jane Rawlins, who along with husband. Bill, had so enjoyed visiting in Ithica and on the Cornell campus at the time of John's wedding there in 1979, but Jane didn't return home from her second summer workshop until evening. After George and Helen Currin returned from their traveling and visiting around the Redmond, Eugene and Molalla areas, I told Helen about the New York man who bicycled through here. She said that they sow lots of bicyclists, some in groups, along the state highways. So, young folks are saving on gasoline and using their own energy for traveling-good for them. As the Currins come home through Mitchell they noticed that the hotel there is advertising "Bicyclers Welcome - $5 per night." Over the 4th I tried to catch up with some yard work that I should have done in April or early May when I was too busy going to classes and taking field trips. But the weeds waited until the rains stopped and until 1 got so embarrassed about them I finally got my determination up and tackled them. As I struggled against the tall quack grass and weeds and the hundreds of sprouting, small, vigorous Dutch Elms everywhere on my lot. which are offspring of the two huge trees which provide cool shade during the summers and huge piles of leaves to rake and haul away each fall. I recalled the saying "He who plants trees loves others beside himself." I kept my little radio going beside me with lots of music and hourly news to cheer my lonely efforts. Whenever I looked up I observed a stream of families with camping, boating and picnic gear heading up Willow Creek on Friday and Saturday . Sunday afternoon and evening they were returning toward their homes. I hope they all found pretty places to have mountain fun. Some brought home firewood. I remembered how tough the road to Penland Lake was the last time I went up there about twelve months ago. Holiday treats which came to my kitchen and table Included lovely, sweet, dark-red. un-spllt cherries from Kimberly brought back by Tom Rawlins, freshly picked raspberries from my own bushes and delicious broccoli and tender lettuce from the thriving Thongdy plantings in my garden plot. A picture from the Pendleton E-O of June 13, which 1 saved, shows a man holding an U'i-pound puffball mushroom that he found on the Hill Grade east of Pendleton. I thought this must be a record, but records are only set to be broken. So now that clipping takes second place in my mushroom facts collection to the 17 pound and 14 ounce giant puffball that Ed Tarnasky, Heppner, brought in from near Gurdane that he and son A.J. are shown holding in last week s G T. Personally I was disappointed in the results of last week's voting. I thought that the road levy needed to be approved. Keeping up and improving the roads is so essential to the welfare of everyone. Yet the majority of those who voted were against the levy. Returns showed that the three lurger incorporated communities with more retail business establishments voted down the levy while smaller lone and Lexington favored it. More disappointing to me than how the voting went was the fact that only 26 percent of our registered voters went to mark ballots. The growing lethargy toward participating in our democratic process seems fraught with dangers. Wasn't the weatherman thoughtful over the three-day holiday In not letting much rain fall here "until after Sunday afternoon when most everyone needed to head home to get ready to go back to work? That cool night's sleep people got and the really clean, fresh feeling of Monday morning must have made them feel ready to plunge into their daily jobs again on July 6.
