Lexing ton: the Wheatland district deputy: and Barton Clark, a member of the stale agricul ture committee and board memler of the grange in surance company. The officers reports were very good The master and his wife have been visiting the subordinate granges in the district, the deputy school In Portland and attended membership committer mecU ing at Willows Grange. Ceres reported that Rufus Grange hnd held a 50th anniversary celebration for hem and that they were all enjoying dancing classes at their hall. Mikkalo members reported a fun day when they made the Wheat Ix-ngue Cake and served it with coffee in Condon In com memoration of Grange Week. The Rhea Creek CAVA, is verv busy making some bibs and throw robes for the Pio neer Memorial If ospital. and (hey also do mending once a week for the hospital. The ag chairman gave a fine report on activities in the district, lie told the group the soil profile for moisture has reached a normal level since the last meeting. However, due to the pattern of the rain this spring, some places which are usually quite dry are wet and some of the places which usually have a good moisture content are down. There is a new wheat disease, he report ted, called septoria. It attacks Around About By Justine Wealherford Heppner High't senior girls and their mothers were recently treated to a very nice luncheon by the Soroptimists. They met aome of the leading career women of the community and heard a good talk by Pauline Winter about continuing their educations and preparing for employment. Jackie Allstott presided over the affair very effectively. Having the working TV on hand was a first. Geneva Matthews' music was pleasing, as was the great variety of salads provided by the Episcopal Church women. How much more satisfying the occasion could have been, at least for me, if the noon hour could have been stretched out longer, because there was not time enough to hear little more from or about the senior girls, to hear about some of their accomplishments and their future plans. Have you watched the High School TV programs over channel S? I uw one of them on Tuesday morning April 19. but have been too busy with research and writing since then to watch again. It is so good that librarian and media specialist, Marion Abrams, and language art teacher, Jane Rawlins, are now conducting a film and television class. The school hat had TV equipment for many years. Do plan to tune In Channel 3. KHHS, on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. or Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Maybe you have noticed that the Bank of Eastern Oregon has posted signs saying that a Morrow County history book, "Homesteads and Heritages," can now be purchased for one fourth of its original price, for Just $2 50 each or at three for $6. This book is not at all like the Morrow County History Book for which many of you have been writing stories about your own families. The book being offered at these bargain prices was written by one man, Giles French, and it does not carry a big collection of personal accounts. It is being sold for the Chamber of Commerce which promoted its publication. The Bank of E O has been storing quite a few boxes of these books for too long now. The County Museum also has an ample supply of them. The County Museum and the Gazette-Times office have been kept extra busy these last weeks of April as folks who were hunting up family facta have searched diligently through files and old copies of papers. Writing about one's family facts can be interesting and educational, too, but I am very concerned that what I have turne dout may not satisfy those persons for whom I wrote. I have Just finished typing all the McDuffee facts which were sent to me from Seal Rock and how I wished I could have personally questioned Ray McDuffee about certain things as I wrote. Now, too, I am trying to learn about the family of pioneers Albert and Julia Wright , and this is interesting and helpful to my understanding of the development of this area, but again I worry about maybe not getting the facts down correctly. It seems to me that if we didn't have a museum, didn't have records at our courthouse and didn't have old file copies of the newspaper, many families would surely be unable to pull together the stories that will bring Joy to their friends and to their own future generations. About two weeks ago the good folks of lone spoke out about their concern for their schools. It was good they aired their feelings, that they showed how strongly they feel about the importance of the schools in that community, and how disturbed they are about various budget cuts. Every taxpayer, every parent and every teacher should carefully read "A Nation At Risk" an open letter to the American people from the National Commission on Excel lence in Education which was published in the "Forum" Section of last Sunday's "Oregonian." All who read it should be really alerted to the significance of our nation's schools. They should be alerted to the importance of maintaining good schools everywhere. This country was the firsts county ever to promise that "all, regardless of race or class or economic status are entitled to a fair chance and to the tools for developing their individual powers of mind and spirit to the utmost. "This promise means that all children by virtue of their own efforts, competently guided, can hope to attain the mature and informed Judgment needed to secure gainful employment and to manage their own lives, thereby serving not only their own interests bust also the progress of society Itself." Soon voters here will either pass or defeat the county school budget. They may be hearing good things about our schools or they may be hearing bad things about them. Becoming concerned and informed and interested and involved with schools is so worthwhile. Surely everyone wants high standards of conduct and of academic perfor mance from teachers and students. Everyone, knows excellence requires effort and discipline. k Good school systems are expensive, but they are so basic and so valuable to our nation's future. Any community without good schools is sure to suffer in many ways. All residents of Morrow County should vote thoughtfully on the school budget. Without fiscal support the schools will collapse. the lower lfnves of the wheat, turning them yellow, and eventually killing the plant. H said potato and corn plant ing are down, but a new crop in Morrow County, grapes, is drawing much interest. How ever, it takes three years for Ihem to develop enough to bear fruit for sale. Mikkalo Grange reported on a fine story and picture of the grawie logo that whk printed in their local pnper honoring Niitiomil Grange week. This was written by a member 'Vilmn Martin. Barton Clark talked aboaut the wind chargers near Col dendale. stating that they are not in use at the present time. He nlso explained a bit about SB 294 toxic substances. If passed, this would make a real hardship onb farmers, and he wishes that interested people would write their Representa tives about this or at least studv the bill A letter was read from Slate Master VIC.

Dorris Graves." the legisla ture chairman, gave a few words on the sales tax propo sal and how it Is coming along, and about the voting laws and regulations in some of the stales she visited while on a trip The slate deputy gave a verv interesting talk and en couraged the granges to keep in there and plug along, even thotieh it seems that they are not getting much done. He also said it looked as if the sales lax bill will go down in the vote but for all to write the legisla tors at once about our feelings. He had attended the grange depulv school and had met the Inhhvist that the grange has at the legislative session. He told the group how the job of the lobbvisl is conducted.

It was nice for all lo get to renew acquaintances with them.

Roll call of granges was as follows: Lexington - eight. Rhea Creek five. Willows zero. Clarno six. Spray zero. Green field zero. Rufus 12 and Mik kalo four.
