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.
Senior citizens will be going
to Echo that same day, Wed., .

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

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.

Crumbs, coins and cobwebs
may not be the only surprises
a homemaker finds if she
delays too long in cleaning her
kitchen cupboards. 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.
Placement testing will be
done in the college's Counsel

from cracks and corners ...
and empty the bag outdoors.
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.

Crop report
The following crop report
was released by the Oregon'
Crop & Livestock Reporting
Service, a division of the
United States Department of
Agriculture:
Winter wheat yields are still
at a record 62 bushels per
acre, unchanged from July 1.
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
