Crime Watch Program started by county Livestock Growers The Morrow County Live stock Growers have taken on a project called "Morrow County Crime Watch," an nounced President Mark Rietmann and Treasurer Tom Currin. The Livestock Grow ers have had several hundred Crime Watch signs printed up and they can be obtained for one dollar at the Morrow County Extension Service office in Heppner. These signs are bright yellow and say, "This area is being watched by people like yourself to help prevent vandalism, theft, and other crimes. Report any crime or suspicious activity you see to: Oregon State Po lice or the Morrow County Sheriff." and lists the toll free telephone numbers of both agencies. The signs were especially developed for ranchers and farmers and should be helpful to those individuals who post their property. They are a durable plastic sign and should last more than one year. Please contact the Exten sion Service office for these new signs, Rietmann asks. Also, Morrow County Exten Church World Service uses 90 percent of its budget for actual relief work and only 10 percent for administration; keeps 25 percent of the money raised locally in south Morrow Co. for relief work, or will send donations to the Lutheran World Relief instead if it is so designated on a pledge sheet. The local CROP CHOP goal is $1,385, Douglass said. "That's the population of Heppner. We think... (we) can at least raise as much as one dollar per citizen in our county seat," he explained.
