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.

The local CROP CHOP goal

"That's the population of

can at least raise as much as
one dollar per citizen in our
county seat," he explained.

invited to join in.
