Members of the Heppner-Lexington-Ione community chat with members of the chatauqua theater group in an informal By JUSTINE WEATHERFORD Three gentlemen from Eugene presented an excel lent, professional program based on the life and works of Oregon's first geologist, Thomas Condon, on Monday, Aug. 17, in St. Patrick's parish hall. University of Oregon theat er student Wes Hardin gave a very convincing performance as Condon during the last years of his life. Young Hardin made his viewers believe he was 84 years old and that he really was sincerely convinc ed of the facts he presented. The simple staging and the careful costuming and make up increased the credulity. U of 0 President Emeritus Dr. Robert D. Clark enhanced and enlarged the program with his scholarly narration given as an introduction and as insertions during the sever al brief intermissions for actor Hardin. Stage manager Mar tin Reinbold carried out his responsibilities effectively and also contributed a few measures of guitar music at appropriate moments. Mealsite closed Aug. 26; trip to Echo planned The Heppner senior meal site will not be open Wed. Aug. 26 because the Morrow County fair will be in progress.

' i 1 I reception for the artists Sunday evening on the Morrow County Courthouse lawn. Those attending this Chaut-auqua-like program learned that Thomas Condon was born in Ireland, came to New York as a lad and traveled around the horn to Oregon in 1S53 with his bride, Cornelia, when he was a young preacher already very interested in geology and paleontology. While Condon built up his charge in The Dalles he traced and recorded the geology of large areas of central and eastern Oregon and was the first to map the state's fossil history. In 1866 he discovered the fossil remains of a three-toed ancestor of the horse. In 1871 he outlined his theory of the two islands and the great prehistoric sea which he called the Willam ette Sound. In 1876, Condon was one of the founding professors of the University of Oregon, an unconventional teacher whose work with students continued for nearly 30 years. Condon was severly criticized by fellow theologians for his acceptance of the theory of evolution and for dismissing the widely accepted date of creation. He chose to accept Aug. 26, to visit that site. The bus will depart from the public library at 10:30 a.m. and will be back in Heppner about 2 p.m. For reservations call 676-9621 or 676-5571. AND LlNb NfcW rry inc a., a- C3A.!P"j Nermiston the Bible as a metaphor rather than history and managed to teach his beliefs with little controversy although the areas of this proficiency were generally considered contra dictory. Thomas Condon died in 1907. His only book, "The Two Islands and What Came of Them:A Geological History of Oregon," was published in 1902. Those attending the pro gram were given a good bibliography prepared by Dr. Clark which lists books most helpful in understanding more about Condon and his times. Dr. Clark told me that talented student-actor Wes Hardin is now considering theology as his major field. The play was written by Dorothy Velasco, who also wrote "The Northwest Wo man." The performance was funded by a grant from the Oregon Committee for the Humanities with matching support from the UO Natural History Museum. The evening in Heppner was sponsored by the Heppner-Ione Branch of AAUW whose out -going presi dent, Susan Schubothe, wel comed those attending and introduced Dr. Clark. Mem bers of the branch served refreshments after the show while viewers socialized with one another and with the three fine gentlemen from Eugene.

More than 100 species of pantry pests love to dine on flour.- cereal, dog biscuits and other stored foods. John Jepsen. of Dobyn's Pest Control points out that Aug. is an excellent time to check for infestations and to launch a counter-attack if one has occurred. He says good housekeeping is the first line of defense and all food storage areas should be cleaned thoroughly - and frequently - to prevent an invasion by uninvited guests. Jepsen says many of the pests, from ants and roaches to mealy bugs and beetles, hitch a ride with foodstuffs brought home from the gro cery store while others, parti cularly ants, sneak in through the tiniest of cracks. All of them thrive, he says, in the warm and humid kitchen environment where plenty of food is available. Here's Jepsen's recom mended procedure for com batting an infestation that will help prevent a recurrence: Remove all stored foods from cabinets and examine them carefully for the pre sence of pests. Vacuum the empty stor age spaces thoroughly, re moving all crumbs and insects BMCC announces return to five-day work week Monday, Aug. 24, Blue Mountain Community College will resume its regular five day work week. College offices will open at 8 a.m. and close at 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the summer months, the college assumed a four day work week designed to conserve electricity. The col lege was closed on Fridays and all air conditioning was turned off during the three day weekends. College person nel worked longer hours during the remaining four days of the work week to compensate for the time off on the longer weekends.

A recommended spray (Jep sen recommends PT55 Insect fogger) may be used, follow ing label instructions to the letter. Vacuum again and wait several hours before replacing the foodstuffs. Jepsen recommends storing all dry foods in insect-proof glass containers with snug-fitting tops. Plastic bags and cardboard boxes are easily penetrated by determined in truders. He also recommends that any infested foodstuffs for human consumption be dis carded. Pet foods with only a minor infestation can be salvaged by either superheat ing or supercooling. Pantry pests are killed by abrupt changes in tempera ture. Placing infested foods in an oven at 130 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or in a deep freeze at zero degrees for four days are proven methods of saving food from total contamination. Should your best efforts fail to prevent or cure an infesta tion, a qualified pest control operator should be consulted, Jepsen says. Membership in the National Pest Control Association and Oregon Pest Control Operators Association is assurance that an operator adheres to high standards of business ethics and technical competence. ing Center on the same schedule it has been during the summer months with the addition of Fridays. The test is offered at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. as well as 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The placement test at the college is free and is designed to help place students in the appropriate English and mathematics classes. Stu dents are not denied admis sion to the college on the basis of the results of that test. No appointmnt is neces sary to take the test. After the test is scored, prospective college students have the opportunity to talk with a college counselor about their career goals. 88 In On. coteo brjlai ond IOp. dVmbur I38S, 24" bor1!, M0-IS69 I LOCKERS SCHOOL 3250917 b" in mm W "ams5rfj!3 1 Your Choice-.

Crop prospects have diminish ed west of the Cascades as lower test weights began to surface in some areas. How ever, this was offset by better than expected yields in the north central area of the state. If the August 1 estimate Is realized, a record 72.5 million . bushels of winter wheat will be produced, one percent above the previous year. Sprinn wheat production, estimated as of July 1, was placed at 4.37 million bushels, 19 percent less than 1980. This places all wheat production at 76.9 million bushels, just slightly below the record in 1980. Nationally, all wheat produc tion Is forecast at a record 2.75 billion bushels, 16 percent more than last year's crop, but two percent less than the July 1 forecast. Barley in Oregon is also estimated at a record yield of 66 bushels, one bushel above last year's crop. An estimated production of 12.9 million bushels is 28 percent above last year, but far below the record set in 1957 of 21.9 million bushels. U.S. barley production is also up consider ably this year, with an expected 483 million bushels. Other Oregon crops forecast as of August 1 are as follows: oat production at 4.6 million bushels, 10 percent more than last year; com for grain production at 1.7 million tt.
