There was no official time for Martin's 8,000 meter race. The Kibbie Dome is a unique athletic facility where the University of Idaho stages its home football and basketball games and houses a 300-meter five-lane track. All track and field events, except the jave lin, were staged in this indoor facility, the coach explained. The Heppner runners ran against 29 other schools from all over Washington and Idaho of all size classifications. Spring fashion trends told By BIRDINE Tl'LLIS Morrow Extension Service Many spring fashion colors have taken their cue from early blooming crocus and hyacinths, with fabrics in new clear, pastel colors. However, white and black are clearly leading the color field indivi dually, or in combination. Red. too. stands alone or works as an accent color. Other general color trends from the season are gray, often shown with pink, intense brights. and blues ranging from medium shades through deeper royal and navy. Clean er, slimmer and more refined design lines present a pol ished, all together image, while others with a country feeling provide wearability. Ready to wear garments and "sew your own fashions" can be coordinated in color, design and texture. Wide bright belts, cummer bunds, and cinches of leather, satin or prints bring the focus to the waistline. Shoes, an important accessory, are available in bright red. yellow and turquoise as a colorful fashion accent, as well as in black patent. Spring skirt lengths are optional. Choices range from tailored minis to flowing longer skirts. Jackets are very long, or short, requiring a practiced eye to choose the M correct skirt and proportion to achieve a particular fashion look. The wise shopper will spend some time looking be fore putting separates toge ther this year. Ready to wear garments and home sewn fashions can be coordinated in color, design and texture. juoo Pacific Northwest Bell re cently filed new rates with the Oregon Public Utility Com missioner whirh will increase the company's revenues by only one half of what the firm indicated it needed in a re quest made earlier to Com missioner John Lobdell. ."PNB actually needs $73.9 million. However, so that we can begin to collect some new revenue as soon as possible, we are filing new rate In creases of $36.7 million now in accordance with what the Commissioner has found jus tified at this time. We're in curring the costs now," PNB Oregon Vice Pesident Larry Wolfar said. "We are faced with continu- , ing FCC changes in national regulatory policy which are dramatically altering the way we do business and which mean that our filing today is substantially less than what we need." OSU Mini-CoUege to celebrate 10 years By BIRDINE Tl'LLIS Morrow Co. Extension Service When a program such as OSU Mini-College lasts 10 years, something good is happening. Celebrating its 10th year this June "The First Decade" has been chosen as the theme of the learning vacation for homemakers which is held annually on the campus of Oregon State Uni versity. For those who haven't attended before, 1983 is the year they should find out why hundreds of Oregon home makers have attended, volun teered to help in many ways and are so intent on recruiting new participants each year. Why is Mini-College Buch a popular event? People make new friends from across the state and find many of their concerns and interests are shared by others. Like stu dents, they learn and grow as individulas. away from the pressures of home. Of course, the class offerings are excit ing, as are the special events and programs for free time and evening hours. Just being on campus and living in a dorm is fun for most partici pants, too. Many new classes have been added for the celebration of the 10th anniversary year, while many others are much enjoyed and requested re peats. A special new class has been added this year, thanks to the Oregon Wheat Commis sion, where each participant will have the opportunity to make a loaf of bread. Visual ize about 600 loaves of bread and imagine the tantalizing fragrance! If this sounds like your kind of learning, fun and experi ence, call the extension office, 676-6642. and ask for a regis tration form. Classes fill up fast, and some are limited, so it is wise to register early. Talk to a friend and get a car full. Husbands are welcome to attend, too.

"In the months ahead, we expect to request additional The Garden Patch By BOB COSTA OSU Extension Agent Morrow County (Editor's note: Bob Costa's "The Garden Patch," a column for local gar driers, will be appearing periodically in the Gazette-Times through out the gardening season.) Plant peas, onions, spinach and radishes now. Onions are easy to grow from seed but they take a long time to mature and early planting is important. Peas grow best during cool weather so plant early for a good quality crop. A new variety of peas is called "Sugar Snap." This tender, productive and delicious pea is eaten pod and all when the peas are good and plump. The planting dates for other garden vegetables depend on the date of the last expected frost. I use May 20 for Hep pner. Weather records show that after May 20 a low of 32 degrees F or less will occur in only one out of every five years. If you want even better odds of escaping a frost than 80 percent, move your plant ing dates a week or so later. However, many vegetables CowBelles observe National Ag Week In observance of National Agricultural Week, March 21 -27, Morrow County CowBelles are placing recipes calling for beef and wheat products in area grocery stores.

"New federal regulations which substitute competition for regulation in the telephone industry continue to affect our revenues," One result of changing na tional policy is the loss of substdantial long distance in come for PNB. Traditionally long distance revenue has been used to offset the cost of local service, including PNB's directory assistance opera tion. Wolfard stated. "We can't do that anymore. Each service needs to begin to pay its own way. "But that doesn't mean rates for all services will go up, In fact, customers will be provided increased options and ways In which they can hold down their costs for telephone service." he said. One rate plan PNB is cur rently developing is for mea sured business service. The plan will include a variety of rte schedules to fit different require a full season to ma ture, so don't wait too long. The following planting dates are based on the May 20 date for last frost. After April 20, plant beets, carrots, cauli flower, broccoli, potatoes and lettuce. After May 1, plant corn and beans. After May 20. plant the warm season crops including tomatoes, peppers, melons, cucumbers, squash and pumpkins. If you've had problems get ting ripe cantaloupe, don't give up yet. Try a very early variety such as "Earlisweet Cantaloupe Hybrid" (68 days), available from Nichols Garden Nursery in Albany, Oregon. Start the melon seeds indoors about April 20 and transplant them to a very sunny area of the garden soon after May 20. Many vegetables can be started indoors to get an extra jump on our relatively short gardening season. An infor mation sheet.

PNB plans to offer customer billing comparisons well in advance of implementation, to enable customers to choose the plan that best fits their needs. The company is also pre paring a usage-bused pricing system for directory assis tance. According to Wolfard more than 50 percent of PNB customers don't use directory assistance at all in any given month. "Not only is it important to PNB's financial well being to have pricing policies that fit the competitive marketplace, but it's also important to the consumer." Wolfard said.
