David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Compromise or To the Editor: As an individual who has attended numerous meetings on establishing electrical rates at Columbia Basin Electric Co-op, I was dumb founded at the action of the board of directors at a special meeting Friday, July 31. In the last two years Columbia Basin Electric has payed for three rate studies; and all have pointed to about the same conclusion as to revenue required to operate the Co-op, who should pick up the tab, and in what propor tions. But for the last two years the board of directors, after adopting these studies and rate schedules, have rescinded these adoptions and moved in favor of a group of individuals calling themselves "large irrigators." Now, this group of people would lead us , to believe that in the past they have been paying the bills and they're tired of it; and from now on the rest of us will pay our way. Last year they picked on the small irrigators, 50HP and under. This year they're picking on all other classes of customers. When each individual receives their July bill, I'm sure it will be Mourn passing To the Editor: The enclosed news clipping from the East Bay Today of Oakland, Calif, dated July 28 should be of special interest to the Heppner sports commun ity. Especially, the nostal gia buffs. John Beckett would have graduated from Heppner High School about 1910 or 1911. I am wondering if he has any classmates still living in the Heppner area who recall his gridiron exploits at the University of Oregon. Also, the earlier school years in Heppner. It is rather sad that John Beckett is the third state of Oregon athlete who passed away recently. We mourn the passing of Buck Grayson, brother of Bobby Grayson, All American football player at Stanford in the mid-thirties. Buck was on the Oregon State basketball varsity from 1929 through 1931. Also, Bobby Anet from "Honest John" Warren's As toria High School team who went on to honors at the University of Oregon as a member of the "Tall Fir Boys" who won the NCAA basketball title over Ohio State at Treasure Island in 1939. The 'Tall Fir Boys" receiv ed their name from L.H. Use extreme By BOB COSTA. Morrow County Extension Agent The outstanding wheat yields in most of Morrow County result in a severe fire hazard. The tall, heavy stub ble is easily ignited by hot exhaust pipes or sparks from the combine; several wheat fires have occurred. sell - out? plain as to what I'm talking about. Recently the large irrigat ors have presented themsel ves before the board of directors with an attorney, a rate analyst, and a threat to sue on the grounds of discrimination if these rates weren't adjusted more to their liking. It seems to me that this phrase "discrimination" has been overworked and it's time to consider the majority, not a special interest group that's in it solely for their own gains. The only reason that was given for the board's compro mise was the board though the consumers would rather pay a larger rate increase than pay court costs. So when I say "compromise or sell-out?" I mean - did the board compromise or did they sell out the other classes of customers to a special interest group? Once again it's time for all members to become concern ed, stay concerned, organize, and let their feeling be known to Columbia Basin Electric and its board of directors. Dexter M. Miles, Small irrigator and general consumer Gregory, late and great sports editor of the Oregonian. Howard Hobson was the coach. , The team members were Aivet and Wally Johansen, from Astoria; Dave Silver, Benson Tech, Portland; Urgel "Slim" Wintermute from Salem and Laddie Gale, Oakridge. Why can't we field all Oregon College teams any more instead of recruiting so heavily from out of state? William Mitchell 61 Forest Grove Drive Daly City, CA 94015 July 28, 1981 EX-OREGON STAR DIES SAN DIEGO - Retired Marine Brig. Gen. John W. Beckett, who was captain of different teams in successive Rose Bowl victories, died Sunday in a hospital. He was 88. Beckett, a native of Hep pner, Ore., was a 200-pound tackle when he was the captain of the University of Oregon football team that beat Penn, 14-0, in the Rose Bowl game of 1917. A year later, when the Rose Bowl game was not limited to college teams, he captained the unbeaten Mare Island Marines to a 19-7 victory over the Army. caution in fighting wheat Heppner physician. Dr. Joe Gifford, provides this advice on smoke inhalation while fighting wheat fires. "Smoke inhalation can be a very hazardous threat to one's life, and varies a great deal with the type of fire, the amount of heat, and the prior health of the person involved.

"When torced into a situa tion of having to fight wheat or stubble fire, use extreme caution to not inhale hot gasses. a high concentration of smoke, or any amounts of noxious fumes or smoke if toxic hydrocarbons are invol ved in the fire. Use some type of fabric or mask on the nose and mouth. If at all possible. fires remove yourself from the smoke after very short inter vals of exposure to evaluate your present physical status rather than spending several minutes at any given task in the smoke filled area. If lightheadedness. fainting, continued coughing, or more severe signs develop after being exposed, it would be wise to see a physician immediately."
