the office Friday to get informa
tion and this morning we had a
visitor from Germany. The mail
and phone inquiries are in
teresting this time of the year. For
instance, today someone is look
ing for a company in Heppner
that mines diatomaceous earth;
the Oregon Parks Department
wanted information on Morrow
County Parks; a lady from
Washington wants a spot for her
mobile home; and requests for
visitor information are being sent
to Arizona, California, Boise,
and Ghana. Makes one wonder
where someone in Ghana heard
about Heppner. The world is get
ting smaller all the time and more
and more people are interested in
getting
away
from
the
metropolitan areas. Heppner
needs a few more attractions for
family activities. How about a
Leprechaun m iniature golf
course, paddle boats at the lake,
trail riding.. .what do most of you
like to do with your families when
you travel? It’s important that we
attract visitors to keep the
business community healthy and
growing.
June 30 is the fifth Tuesday, so
there will be no chamber noon
luncheon next week. July 7 will
be the monthly board and
business meeting. The business
meeting is for all members.
Have a safe and sane fourth of
July with family, friends, class
reunion groups or at the annual
lone or Boardman 4th of July
celebration.

Morehead earns Cenex scholarship
David Morehead, Heppner,
has been awarded a $500
agricultural studies scholarship by
the Cenex Foundation. The
agriculture business major at Blue
Mountain Communtiy College, is
among 71 recipients of this year’s
awards to vocational-technical
and community college students.
“ The objective of this scholar
ship program continues to be sup
porting the efforts of capable
students pursuing agricultural
studies,” said Cenex Foundation
Board Chairman Elroy Webster.
“ As the technical nature of
agriculture continues to grow, it
is essential that we encourage in
dividuals with aspirations in these
areas.”
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture continues to project
a shortfall through 1995 of
college-educated individuals for
a variety of agricultural careers.
Since its creation in 1961 the
Cenex Foundation scholarship
program has awarded $1.3
million to more than 2,000
students pursuing agricultural and
cooperative studies at designated
schools in the Cenex trade area.
The scholarship program recently
was expanded as the result of $1
million in contributions from
Cenex and its subsidiaries to the
private, non-profit foundation.
“ We are pleased with the in
creasing level of interest in these
scholarship program s from
students pursuing ag careers,”
said Cenex Foundation manager
Mary Kaste. “ Our ongoing ob
jective is to increase the number
and caliber of individuals enter
ing agricultural careers.”
Cenex Foundation Scholarship
Program recipients are selected
on the basis of their academic
achievement and potential con
tributions to agriculture and
agribusiness. The scholarship
program provides students at
selected two-year schools with a
one time $500 grant in either their
first or second year of study. The
Cenex Foundation also presents
cooperative studies scholarships
to 78 students at designated
universities throughout the
Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
The Cenex Foundation was
established in 1947. In addition
to the scholarship program, its
missions include assisting rural
youth programs, cooperative and
conservation programs.
Students interested in obtaining
additional information about the
Cenex Foundation Scholarship
Program should contact the par
ticipating school or university of
their choice or write to Mary
Kaste, Manager; Cenex Founda
tion; 5500 Cenex Drive, Inver
