Around About By Justine Weattierfora What a busy week this has been for persona involved with the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo. For many their busyness began weeks ago. Most of these hard-working folks are volunteers who reli' believe In this county and In the organizations to which they belong, and they especially believe in trying to help younger citizens to understand volunteerism and community participation projects. As I've asked several youngsters what they like about the county fair - I've felt quite disappointed to have them tell me that the carnival Is the only thing they really care about. They have said "I won't go unless there Is a carnival." How sad to think that this bringing together of the wide variety of growing things, of an amazing collection of craftwork, and lovely examples of skills in many types of arts should be subordinated by many to the few days and evening's appearance of carnival rides. However, year after year, a faithful group of fair supporters keeps on working under the leadership of the fair board and staff and the Fair and Rodeo Committee members. All who exhibit deserve blue ribbons - afterall, without exhibitors there would be no fair. Last weekend, the 4 H Horseshow and the Open Class Horseshow kept many busy as they watched, officiated or performed on their animals. Saturday and Sunday saw rather feverish activltiy inside the fair buildings as final Recreation Report The Umatilla National Forest office, Pendleton, has released the following Recrea tion Report: lleppner Ranger DUtrlct Road paving at Bull Prairie Campground has been com pleted and the campground is now open. Water is still not available as the new water system is not completed. Water is available at Fairview, located three miles west on Highway 207. Catching of legal size fish has been slow at both Bull Prairie and Penland Lakes. The woods are dry. Please be careful with camp fires. Woodcutters need to carry a shovel and fire extin guisher for each saw in use. Smokey has been seen recent ly at Bull Prairie Camp ground. Has anyone seen Woodsy Owl near Penland Lake? Dale Ranger District All roads on the district are opened and maintained. All trails are open and Granite Creek and North Fork John Day River trails are maintain ed. The open campgrounds include: North Fork John Day River, Olive Lake and Toll Bridge. There is no drinking water available and services are reduced at these areas. The roads at North Fork John Day River Campground are now repaired. The fishing is fair to good In the rivers and streams and fair to poor at Olive Lake. Huckleberries are ripe with a heavy crop. Fire danger is high. Pomeroy Ranger District Trails are open and main tenance continues to be done. All main roads are open. Fishing has been fairly good in all streams. The cooler weather has contributed to this. Huckleberries are ripe and plentiful on the district. Although the berries are small, the picking is good. The fire danger has been high and low, depending on the weather conditions. At the present time it is low. The Pomeroy Ranger District office open seven days a week. Monday through Fri day, office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday the hours are 9 a.m. to 6p.m. The office is open seven days a week from the middle of May until the middle of November, after elk season is over. I'kiah Ranger District Huckleberries are ripening in most areas of the distict. The best reported success has been In the vicinity of Tower Mountain. All campgrounds are open on a self-service basis. Fire danger is moder ate due to the continuing cool weather and periodic rains. A week of hot, dry days could raise the fire danger to the high category. Fish habitat improvement work on the North Fork John Day River was expected to start on Fri day, August 20 or Monday the 23rd. Walla Walla Ranger District Storms passing through the area earlier last week scatter ed minimal amounts of precip itation across the Umatilla National Forest. Fire man agement personnel wish to remind visitors to the forest that Are danger still exists. We would like to emphasize the need for everyone to be sure campfires are put out cold. Woodcutters: the fire protection class to this date is B. Class B day requires fire equipment plus you must stay in your woodcutting area for at least one hour after the powersaw has been shut off in order to watch in case a fire starts. Now is the perfect time to take a weekend trip to one of the districts campgrounds. The Walla Walla District has several primitive camp grounds. These campgrounds offer relaxation and a chance to get away from It all. Best of all, the price is just right. Primitive campgrounds are free. It is asked that campers respect fellow campers' pri vacy and that garbage be packed home for disposal. For more information and map locations of these camp grounds, stop by the office at 1415 W. Rose Street. We are open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. re Back on Regular Hours: MON. - FRI. 8a.m. 5p.m. SATURDAY 8a.m. - 12:00 Terror County Grain Growers. Uxbgfen 9194221 preparations were being made, as community booths were put together and as entries were received by all depart ments. The commercial booths were also set in place. On Monday, livestock was still being accepted, and judging of most of the entries took place. That evening the style revue, as always, drew an attentive and appreciative crowd. Tuesday was a special day with several special contests Ukiiig place before the evening's Family Fun Nitc with its picnic dinner, entertainment and the appearance of our state's governor, Victor Atiyeh.

Mary Ann Palmer, official chaperone for our court and pennant bearers and mother of Morrow's queen, has managed the luncheon of 50 to 60 persons for several years now. She says that the parents of the Morrow court and of their pennant bearers are invited along with visiting royalty and their chaperones. . Last week's Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Hager Park was unusually pleasing. Heppner Bowl's Doug Smith catered a great assortment of sandwiches, potato salad, relishes, and coid drinks In-fore the group was moved in a school bus to the dam for an excellent tour of the rising I I I I structure conducted by Engineer Leif Erickson. In my previous column I revealed that I was happily tired after having three small grandchildren visit ine In mv home. Just after I wrote that, I chatted with my neighbors Bob and Lorena Shuman and leurned that they had recently taken nine of their eleven grandchildren camping for four nights in thp Ukih-rHle firea. They had six granddaughters sleeping in their trailer with them and three grandsons sleeping closeby in a tent. Bob said they consumed lots of food, "The kids really enjoyed wieners and marshmallows," he said. The Shuman grandparents, who had promised their grand- Insulate your home today.
