Academically Talented Program well
underway at Heppner Elementary
An Academically Talented
Program at Heppner Elemen
tary is well underway this
year. Thirty-six students in
grades two through itx are
participating in the program,
which in Morrow county, is
designed to provide appropri
ate education and recognition
for the above average student,
said Linda Shaw, program
coordinator at Heppner Ele
mentary. Students of each grade meet
one day a week with Shaw for
an Inquiry Class. The students
learn techniques of research,
problem solving, deductive
reasoning, and learn to use
reading as a tool. Participants
will spend time researching a
personal interest topic and
each student will have a year
end project and will present it
to a related interest group,
Shaw said.
Students are chosen to take
part in the group after ranking
highly in two of three categor
ies: motivation, creativity and
academic ability.
To determine motivation,
teachers filled out evaluations
on children they felt would
benefit from the program.

meeting, hear review
ByJl'STINE
WEATHER FORD
At the November meeting of
the Bookworms, held at the
home of Lorena Jones, Inez
Erwin presented the after
noon's review. She chose "My
Ninety Years" by Martha
Louise Black, updated by Flo
Whyard.
Based on "My Seventy
Years." Mrs. Black's auto
biography, this book contains
the full life story of a remark
ably independent American
woman who left a comfortable
life in Chicago to walk the
terrible Chilkoot Trail in 1898,
to manage two sawmills in
frontier Dawson and to begin
serving in the Canadian Par
i liament during her 70th year.
Because Mrs. Erwin had
visited Alaska this year and
had snapshots of the area
from Skagway to Whitehorse
and a few interesting features
of the Yukon Territory, she
was able to personalize her
review of this excellent nor
thern history book. Both the
book and the review empha
sized the exciting period when
gold fever drew many to Ala
ska and when they struggled
up the Chilkoot Trail.
Mrs. Black's story includes
a description of life in Chica
go, of her determination to go
to Alaska without her young
husband, of her experiences
crossing the Chilcoot Trail, of
the birth of her third son
during a year in Dawson City
and of her return to the home
of her parents in the U.S.
where she wrote "I could not
shake off the lure of the
Klondyke. My thoughts were
continually of that vast new
rugged country, its stark and
splendid mountains, its lordly
Yukon River, with all its
streams and deep blue Lakes,
its midnight sun. its bold and
green of summer, its never
ending dark of winter, illum
ined by golden stars and
glaming northern lights. What
I wanted was not shelter and
safety, but liberty and oppor
tunity." Mrs. Black returned to
Dawson where she became an
outstanding business woman.
She wrote quite a few pages
about life in Dawson at the
turn of the century where she
married George Black an at

torney who became commis
sioner of the Yukon and a
member of the Canadian Par
liament. During World War I the
Blacks served in Europe and
met many outstanding per
sonages. After the war's end
they returned to Canada.
Black campaigned and was
elected to Parliament four
successive times, moving up
to become speaker of the
House of Commons in 1930.
The Blacks were social
leaders in Ottawa and enter
tained many famous visitors.
They vacationed in Europe
and were entertained by roy
alty in England and by the top
people of France.
When George became ser
iously ill in 1935, Martha was
elected to fill his seat in
Parliament as the representa
tive of the Yukon. Her exciting
life story continues until her
death at 91 in 1957.
This book is full of photo
graphs, and they and the text
make it a real treat for anyone
interested in Alaskan and
Canadian history.
Before the day's review.
Bookworm President Sadie
Parrish conducted a brief
business meeting. The mem

Christmas check to the East

Is Your Investment Plan Tax
A lot of individual in
vestors will be more sensi
tive to taxes since President
Reagan's new tax bill has
come out.
One of the key provi
sions of the bill affects most
investments that pay inter
est or dividends. This is the
automatic ten percent with
holding tax on all dividends
and interest at the time of
payment. Though it does
not represent an actual in
crease in taxes (the Federal
government is merely col
lecting a portion of its tax
payment in advance), it
does have an impact on in
dividuals' savings and re
tirement programs.
"The tax package is
going to cause people to
stop and think a little
harder about what they in
vest in and how the in
vestment will be taxed,"
says Dan Perkins, a vice
president of Merrill Lynch
Life Agency, a subsidiary
of Merrill Lynch, Pierce,

OWGL convention is a work
ing convention and "has a lot
of planning going into the
three-dav session."
The wheat growers, as
a state-w ide organization, ore
organized into county associa
tions These county associa

areas in Oregon.

these county meetings provide
the "grass-roots" input

The committee meetings
held during the convention
take the input from each
