Morrow County Judge Don McF.lligott said the Heppner Neighborhood Center will receive applications for the wood from needy parties. The center is also coordinating the delivery of the wood. According to a forest service spokesperson, about 9,500 cords of wood were cut on the Heppner Ranger District in 1981. This amount is equal to about 790 tog truck loads of wood.
